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

In my planning log we did research in to companies which produced familiar films in the thriller genre and found numerous production companies in which we though would be fit to produce and distribute our media product. We thought that New Line Cinema would be a suitable company to produce and distribute our media for many reasons:

• It has already produced and distributed many films in the same or similar genres to our opening. This includes the very successful series of "Final Destination" films, meaning that they can see potential for sequels.

• Not only did they create a successful series they also were confident enough to take a risk which turned out to be extremely successful.

Final Destination 4 3D was the final installment in the series but was the first to be shot in HD 3D. It was one of few films at the time which started the ball rolling bringing back 3D imagery, this show that the company has creative and innovative ideas which would be very useful to my product.


The film could offer opportunities for merchandising creating awareness posters, collaborations with albums and famous artists. This is similar to what was done with films "Bullet Boy", "Kidulthood" and "Adulthood" the target audience could relate to the film and the producers knew this and so they released albums containing the film soundtrack and the actors even released some of their own songs and were featured in other artists music videos.



As you can see from the album above at the bottom it has a list of already famous music artists which are featured in the soundtrack, this is an incentive for people to buy it.
