1. 1. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? Evaluation Question 3
2. 2. We looked at 4 different distribution companies in our lesson - British Film Institute Player, Fox Searchlight Pictures, Vertigo Films and Momentum Pictures. We had to choose one of them to be our distribution company and do a little bit of research on it and the films it distributes.
3. 3. The one that has drawn my attention was the Fox Searchlight Pictures.
4. 4. Why I choose it? The reason I choose it is because it is widely known and helps the films in terms of money and financing. It is established in 1994 within the Fox Entertainment Group, which specialises in the distribution of US and UK films, as many of them tend to be in the thriller and horror genre. The Fox Searchlight studio also has got a YouTube channel where they bring trailer videos for films like Sideways, Juno and Slumdog Millionaire. Fox Searchlight Pictures distributes smaller budgeted films rather than big blockbusters.
