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

2. •It is important to identify and choose the correct institution to create and
distribute a film because audiences may have different views and
expectations from different institutions. For example Production Company’s
may have certain movie genres that they focus on to distribute. Warner Bros
are known for making high budget films for action, but also many thrillers.
Pixar studios are known for distributing animated films targeted at children.
All institutions have that main focus that allows their audience to tell what
type of movies they distribute. So all institutions allow
the audiences to identify what type of movies an
institution releases by their reputation from the
past movies they have produced. For example
‘’Universal Studios’’ are well known for their
distribution of the famous ‘Psycho’ (1996).
3. • We have decided that Lionsgate should be the institution to distribute our
Thriller Production.
• This is because of the amount of success they have had with the past
thriller films they have distributed, including the well known ‘’Saw’’
sequels. All 6 of the ‘Saw’ sequels have been distributed by Lionsgate.
Another two films produced by Lionsgate are very similar to our Thriller as
their narrative also portrays the story of a young female who has an
alternative side to them.
• Because of this, we are more trustworthy within Lionsgate that they will
allow us to produce a great thriller genre that will be part of their
franchise.
4. • Choosing ‘Lionsgate’ institution to be our distributor is very beneficial and
helps us in many ways.
• Their fan base will help us attract all the right viewers into watching our
film and throughout their success with their past thrillers, we are very
confident that we will have the same success.
Just like these films, we aim and hope for the same success or more, with
the help of Lionsgate and their success with not only their thrillers but the
majority of their productions.
