What kind of media institution might distribute your media

product and why?

At first we wanted to do an independent thriller opening but based on our audience research we changed our mind and made a mainstream product instead. Our film is mainstream as we have a simple narrative of the film, and stick to the stereotypes of conventional thrillers such as: the antagonist being a man and protagonist a girl. Psychological thrillers focus on mental illnesses (mind) death, reality and perception and we have all the themes in our thriller, we present mental illness and the mind are the focus of the whole thriller, as all the things are happing in her head, reality and perception is presented with her hearing voices and seeing things that are not there. Both identity and death is presented by the stalker, as both the audience and the main character don't know who he is, he killed Lucy's parents and want to kill her as well.

So who would distribute our film ?

UniversalWalt Disney Warner Bros20th century foxColumbia picturesParamount

We would like our film to be distributed by one of the ‘Big Six’

An American film studio founded in 1912Films include:• The Birds (1963)• Vertigo (1958)• The Bourne Chronicles • LucyUniversal pictures would be a good distributor for our film as they have a lot of thriller films. Universal pictures is also vertically disintegrated meaning that they have connection with other companies that can help us with our movie such as Universal Music Group.I think they would like our film as they have released ‘Lucy’ which was a massive success with a budget of $40 million and box office of $463.4 million. Our film and the film ‘Lucy’ are both psychological thrillers, although the story line differs , there are so similarities of both of the films, giving it a bigger chance of success.

American film production companyIncludes Walt Disney Pictures, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Marvel Studios alsoPixar is a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.Disney have their own music group • Walt Disney Records• Hollywood Records• Disney Music PublishingFilms include:• Ant-man• Capitan America• National TreasureAlthough Walt Disney is know around the world and as evident from my research do have thriller films, and their own music group, I don’t think that it would be a good distributor for our film as they are mainly associated with animation and children films.

An American company that produces film, television and music entertainment, founded in 1923Films include:• Unknown• Orphan • Sphere As Warner Bros produce their own film, TV and music means we get a wide range of equipment and resources for disposition, and getting our film across to a wider range of audience, and onto different platforms such as a TV programme as we already have the distributor and are working with them.

An American film studio, distributor and one of the six major American film studios founded in 1935Warner Bros. has several subsidiary companies, including Warner Bros. Pictures, Turner Entertainment Co., Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Animation, Warner Home Video, New Line Cinema, Castle Rock Entertainment, and DC Entertainment. Warner Bros. owns half of The CW Television Network.Films include:• The Revenant• The Maze Runner• Taken • Die another day • Chronicle • Mr & Mrs Smith 20th Century Fox would be a good distributor of our film as they have a number of thriller movies already, and because they have subsidiary companies means that there is a wide range of institutions so we can collaborate with them.

An American film production and distribution studio of the Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, a division of Sony Pictures Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate Sony.Films include:• Salt• The Equalizer Columbia is not my top choice for the distributor of our film, as their main focus is on comedy films.

An American film studio, television production company and motion picture distributorFilms include:• Vertigo• Psycho • Mission impossible• Beverly hills cop• Shutter island• TransformersAs paramount have a big range of thrillers available they are a good distributor for our film, Vertigo and Psycho are psychological thrillers, also they are both a production and distributor.

Our Distributor is …

Out of the ‘Big Six’ distributors I have chosen Universal Pictures. The reasons are as follows:• Universal has a wide range of thriller films already out and some of them are the

biggest blockbusters out there including Jurassic World with a budget of 150 million USD and a box office of 1.67 billion USD.• Universal Pictures have released ‘Lucy’, a psychological thriller that was also very

successful, because our thriller and ‘Lucy’ are similar in some ways, but do have a different plot line, I think that our thriller would succeed if it gets distributed by Universal Pictures.• Universal Pictures are vertically disintegrated giving us the chance to collaborate

with other companies.
