QUESTION 3

What kind of media institution might distribute your

media product and why?

I would expect a distribution company such as New Line Cinema or New

Market Films to distribute my film because of the films which they have taken a

part in distributing in the past, New Line Cinema helped distribute ‘Se7en’ and

New Market Films distributed Memento which are films from the same genre

as mine – Psychological Thriller. I have said New Market Films because a lot of

the films which they’ve distributed have had lots of success with Psychological

thrillers in the past Se7en being an example of that. However I feel that New

Market Films would be a more likely suitor for the distribution of my film

because a lot of the films they have distributed in the past have had quite low

budgets (under $10,000,000) and have had a lot of success which would be a

good reason to pick them, an example being the psychological thriller

‘Memento’ which had a budget of $9,000,000 and got a total gross profit of

$25,000,000. New Market Films is a subsidiary of the parent company

Exclusive Media Group. New Market is aiming to ‘acquire, produce and

distribute diverse films’ which would suit mine because mine is diverse and

they will be used to distributing films from new directors with lesser known

actors in it.
