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

Production company

Our production company's name is "Invisible Ink", we felt this name would be valid given the context of the film there is a sense of immorality and tension about the combinations of words invisible and ink. We could relate it to the film in many senses the fact of the main protagonist not being caught for the atrocities he has committed to the darkness of ink. A production company handles budgeting, scheduling, scripting, the supply with talent and resources, the organization of staff, the production itself,post-production, distribution, and marketing.





















We then had to research distributions companies that would distribute our film. 
Momentum

Momentum seems to be the favourite at the moment because of the range of different thrillers it has within its list of films.

Main films include: Tamara Drew, The Kings Speech, The Fighter, Limitless, Chalet Girl, Insidious, Dear John, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Skyline, The Rebound, The Young Victoria, Milk, Let the Right One In, Amelie, P.S. I Love You, Men Who Stare at Goats, Defiance.





Lionsgate

Lionsgate is more based around quite risky films to release mainly in the horror genre. Our film is not risky to release because it is a stereotypical thriller film that most companies would release.

Main films include: Saw Series, Disaster Movie, Bratz: The Movie, Killers, Kick-Ass, The Expendables,  Dirty Dancing, Rambo, American Psycho, The Girl with the Pearl Earring, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Abduction, The Hunger Games, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Safe, Good Luck Chuck, Why Did I Get Married?.



Miramax

After much debate we decided to go with Miramax pictures, we chose miramax due to the nature of films they produce. We felt our film could be related to the gritty type thrillers they produce.
Main films we'd relate our film to: Pulp Fiction, No country for old men, The debt, There will be blood, Reservoir dogs.
