Evaluation: Question 3

3) What kind of Media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Our specific media product is open to all kinds of institutions who are looking to distribute this type of genre. 

Universal Pictures is a subsidiary of Comcast and a division of NBC Universal, is one of the six major movie studios. Founded by Carl Laemmle in 1912, Universal is the second oldest movie studio in the world that is still in continuous production; the first being Gaumont Pictures, the next oldest is Paramount Pictures. Making the institution well known.
Why would this company not be suitable?
Universal is one of the largest institutions within the film industry, and therefore has a lot of money behind the institution. Specifically when looking for films they are looking for well filmed sequences and shots of a movie in which are not amateur. Our film is of course of a low budget so Universal as an institution would not be interested in our type of movie, as equipment that was used to film our opening was not of high technology but was of basic.
We did however use the universal logo, in our media product, in order to create a professional aspect to our two minute opening of our slasher film.

Unites international pictures is a joint venture of Paramount Pictures owned by Viacom, which is owned by National Amusements, Inc. and Universal Studios, owned by NBC Universal , which is co-owned by Comcast & General Electric, to distribute some of the two studios' films theatrically outside the United States (including territories), Canada, and the Anglophone Caribbean.

Types of films these institutions have distributed :
Universal Studios

Although both these institutions distribute the same type of genre, such as, chick flicks, slashers, psychological thrillers. Universal is one of the 6 major distributors on earth whereas United International Pictures is of independent film studios, which initially means people like ourselves.

Here are some more examples of independent film studios, they are characterized by limited release but can also have major marketing campaigns and a wide release. Independent films are often screened at local, national, and international film festivals. An independent film production can rival a mainstream production if it has the vital funding and distribution. 

Concluding from this, it would be one of the above, the independent film studios in which would distribute our film.
