Q3

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


In our production we chose to have our company name as ‘#ashtag productions’, this was a group choice, it initially started as just ‘Hashtag Productions’, however we wanted to make it more professional so in our thriller we chose to make the H a #, this turned out very well with each line appearing separately. We chose this name because the hash tag is used on Twitter as something important or topical, so we are saying that our production is something people need to be aware of.

A production company helps to create the film; they assist in the budgeting, scheduling, scripting, casting and more. The company usually looks over the film from start to finish. They are responsible for finding a director and the majority of the actors that will work well within the film. However they are also responsible if anything was to go wrong on the film, for example an actor being injured or property being lost or damaged.


I have picked Paramount Pictures to distribute my media product because I feel they are the most successful and knowledgeable film distributors of all time, its current 101 years in the film industry can’t go unnoticed.

In its long years in the film industry, it has created a very world famous name for itself; this is by having such a large range of film distribution, such as:

· Mission: Impossible ll

· Zoolander: Tom Raider

· Jackass: The Movie

· How to lose a guy in 10 days

· Ironman

· Watchmen

· Paranormal Activity

After working with hundreds of famous directors and successful thrillers, such as The Watchmen, Iron Man and Paranormal Activity 3, they can give us pointers and ideas that would perfect our thriller and will be thoroughly knowledgeable on the best ways to distribute and target the audience we will be aiming for with our thriller.

Paramount has an extremely large income, with a revenue of around $1.2 billion in 2011, this means they will fund all new and upcoming movies, and see them from the release date and much further. This money can also help the company to publicise the film, through television, the internet, billboards and the newspaper to help boost its popularity and attract its target audience.

Because Paramount Pictures is based in Hollywood, which is a very film orientated city, it means most films released will get watched by an audience of some kind and it means our film will get globally distributed.
