1. What kind of media institution might distribute your media
product and why? Evaluation Question 3
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. The one that has drawn my attention was the Fox Searchlight
Pictures.
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.
