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

I think my thriller opening is more likely to be an internet only release as it has had no money put into it, there are no special effects, the characters are played by volunteers who aren't professional actors and because of all this, I think the best place to distribute it would be on the internet as it would then be free for people to watch which you would expect from a product that has had very little money put into it. 

I think there is a chance for my thriller opening to be produced by a major Hollywood studio such as Paramount (Mission Impossible), Lionsgate (hostel) and New line (Rush Hour 2) as there are lots of opportunities to change and run away with the plot, expanding and exploring different aspects. A Hollywood studio, such as one mentioned above, would have money to put into better actors, special effects and a more effective soundtrack. I think my thriller is similar to existing products like 'The Strangers" and therefore I see and opportunity for a big company to develop my product

My thriller opening could also be produced by British film companies such as Working Title, Vertgio Films, Shine Pictures, Peapie Pictures. They have produced successful films such as 'Contraband', 'Les Miserables', 'Rush', 'Streetdance', 'Streetdance 2', 'The Grey Man', 'Kick-Ass' and 'Stardust'. Therefore I think these companies would be able to target the specific audience to maximise the potential success of the product. If I were to release my product as a TV movie, which I think could be successful with some more development, then I would look at companies such as Warp Films, Cowboy Films and Trademark Films. These all have successful TV productions.

In its current stage of production I would release my product on the internet as a resource for other students who are looking for inspiration and to see how I may have overcome some filming/editing issues. If My product was to be completed by a company I would probably be most likely to chose a British film company such as Working Title.
