What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Universal Pictures is a well known film institution. It is one of the 6 major film institutions around these days and was founded in 1912 and is still one of the biggest and longest film institutions still running. 8 smaller companies were merged to form universal pictures in 1912. The company was sold to General Electric in 2004 and now is in corporation with NBC, so not only does it own a sizeable collection of films but many TV shows too.
Universal Pictures have a good reputation with thriller films with films like
Drag Me to Hell The Strangers
The Last House on the Left
Stay Alive
Unborn
In my opinion this would be a very good institution to produce and distribute our thriller as it is a well known company with a good reputation, especially in thriller productions. It distributes to the right audiences with appropriate certificates and advertising past the watershed, and will make our thriller film successful, with careful advertising. There is also a benefit of working with an American institution as it can distribute to many different countries. Universal pictures also have a large net income of 2.26 billion dollars. This means that it can run up and coming films, also advertising will be quiet successful because the budget for filming and advertising will be large. Universal Pictures have made films from Despicable Me to Drag Me Too Hell, so they have a lot of experience with films of many genres. They also have many directors which can give opinions on things that would make the thriller better and so on.
