What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

I feel that the two companies that would be likely to distribute our film would be either Warner Brothers or Disney Studios. This is mainly because after some research these two film studios are the two with the most history of the fantasy genre, Warner Brothers have had massive success with the Harry Potter franchise being the most successful franchise of all time taking in over $6.3 billion, they have also had success with Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise currently taking in over a Billion dollars across two films. Disney Studios have also had huge success with the “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Chronicles of Narnia“franchise by making them also 2 of the most successful franchises of all time.

I feel that our film would have a very simple marketing system of simply one official site and two trailer consisting of a teaser and theatrical trailer. A few clips would also be released via YouTube and the official site to gain more interest in the film. I think the film would also get an official Facebook page as well as that would definitely get more interest in the film due to the several million members.

However, seeing as our film is likely to have a very small budget it is incredibly likely we would have to co-produce it with another British company such as Film4, this has also been done with hit films “Shaun of the Dead” who co-produced with companies Universal and Film4 and “127 Hours“who worked with Fox Searchlight Pictures and Pathe to make their film.
