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

We choose Lionsgate Production Company as the production company to distribute and advertise our film; they have a good history in being producers in films very similar to ours, films such as ‘The Haunting in Connecticut’, the Saw series and ‘The last Exorcism’. It also from 2007 onwards has been the most commercially successful independent film and television Distribution Company in North America.
Since the recent success of ‘The Kings Speech’ in America we as a group also thought it would be a smart idea to choose Lionsgate since they are an American production company. The success of the king’s speech shows that British film in America is very popular at this moment in time, so it would appeal to a more global audience if released in the US, also creating greater revenue.
Lionsgate also doesn’t just produce film but other different types of media, “We develop, produce and distribute a broad range of motion picture, television and other film”. This quote came straight from the Lionsgate official website and if you go on to the website investors section it shows that Lionsgate have made a profit of over one billion dollars since they started in 1995.
