Why these companies are suitable for our product

Misjudged: AS LEVEL Media Coursework

GJ ProductionsThis production company is suitable because it

focuses on films with controversial narratives

They have a low budget therefore focus on changing representations and ideologies instead of using special effects to create an interesting film

They company has had prior experience of producing terrorist based films.

Focus Features Experienced- they have distributed many films which have

nearly all been successful.

Willing - they want to distribute MISJUDGED

Well known- by using them as our distributer having their logo on our product suddenly extends the popularity of our film.

It’s a subsidiary- this is a company whose voting stock is more than 50%controlled by another company, usually referred to as the parent company or holding company. This means that any decisions made will be by Focus Features and not a supporting company. This is why I want Focus Features as our distributer.

Success- they are well known for their success and this is what we want- to be successful.

More reasons for Wanting Focus Features

They are a vertically integrated company meaning they can basically do anything with our product which they want to.

Oligopoly- they own the majority of all media so competition won’t be as high.

Monopoly- However as it is illegal they are not a monopoly so competition will still exist.

Closed CircuitsFocus Features distributed a film called closed

circuits which had a narrative based around a terrorist organization

This film is very similar to MISJUDGED and we would like the success that focus features bought to Closed Circuits to also present within our film

Focus Features gave Closed Circuits success with their ability to market and advise the product

How we will attempt to get them?

We will rely on securing distribution with a conglomerate company, Focus Features, through exhibition of MISJUDGED at film festivals and we will make a formal approach to them as well where we will sit down and ask them for exactly what we are looking for.
