ACTIVITY 3

WHAT KIND OF MEDIA INSTITUTION MIGHT DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT AND WHY?

A media instiution is an established, profit based organisation, that deal in the creation and distribution of advertising, entertainment and information services. Films that don't secure distribution will end up going straight to DVD which means they won't make back the money invested in them. This would be very unusual and unexpected for a Richard Curtis film as he is well known and everyone wants to see his films.
This  means Jess shouldn't struggle to pick a distributior.

We made the director of our film Richard Curtis because he directs films which are of a similar genre to the film I made for example Love Actually, Noting Hill, Bridge Jones's Diary and Four Weddings and a Funeral.

We wanted to make our production company similar to the ones that he uses in all of his films which are: Universal picures, Studio Canal, Working title films and Miramax films. In my group we made up our own production company called SBGfilms which would be like Universal Pictures or Studio Canal because these production companies have produced/distributed a wide range of chick flicks.
