3) What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? [Keelan]

- Our thriller movie would be with a independent British distributor, with us having a rather low budget. Therefore it would be very unlikely that the movie will be available in such locations such as a Vue or Odeon cinema. This is because both Vue and Odeon are very large chain cinemas which distribute large budget films.









- As our film is only being distributed by a low budget media institution local Picture houses would be the most feasible location for our movie to be shown. It would be shown in a Picture house such as the Duke of York in Brighton or the Picture House Uckfield.

- As the movie is low budget the main methods of advertisement would most likely be by word of mouth, social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc.), posters in the local area and possibly a short advertisement in the local newspaper.

- Giving that there will be a much lower number of audience it is very likely that as soon as the thriller movie is in the picture houses that it would also be put onto DVD at the same time. Whereas if it was a high budget movie it would not be released onto DVD until about 3 to 5 months after the cinema showings have finished.

- There is also another possibility that the thriller could be released onto instant streaming services such as LoveFilm and NetFlix. There would be a very small possibility that this could happen, however, services such as these do also have some low budget movies available for their subscribers to access.

- It is also a possibility that the thriller could be shown as on TV maybe a few years after release on channels like Film4 or ITV4. Although this would be a rather long time after the release of the movie, it can still possibly bring in revenue.
