Greg's Evaluation: Q3

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Media production companies, like Universal and Disney, are the companies that make the films. Media distributors are the companies that distribute the films, be it in a cinema, on DVD, or digitally. A big example of a media distributor is Netflix. Big media production companies do deals with these companies to get their films out to the public. These distributors only deal with big-budget products, so for our media product, we need a distributor that deals with low-budget products.

 After some research, I discovered that LoveFilm, Pathe, Momentum and Icon all distribute low budget British films. If we wanted to get our product out to the public, we would need to use one of these companies.

We could distribute it ourselves, via Youtube. We can make money on Youtube by letting people advertiise on the video.
