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

Several high production movies get distributed by various big institutions around the world. Our media product however is not a very high production movie but rather a decent British movie so the institutions that will distribute our product will vary. There are still a lot of institutions which distribute our type of movie and one of them is be Film 4.
Film 4 distribute a lot of great British movies because they're a large and successful company.

Other than these, websites such as Twitter can be used to distribute the product. For example, 'Narcissist' could have a twitter page where there will be updates about the movie and also info on other things around the movie such as star interviews. Another website is Facebook and its great for distribution because you can have adverts on the side bar. Also there are games and 'Narcissist' could have a game asking a few questions on what you know about the movie.
We made a facebook group on Narcissist as well.







Also, our music is original because Ellie got a friend that was a DJ and he created a 30 minute mix in which we picked about 2 minutes of it and used for our intro. It took a lot of time to cut it and get it into the right places but eventually we got it. The music would help distribute our product because it is the type of music that our target age group would listen to.

Furthermore, Itunes could be used as another medium of distribution. Soundtracks from the movie could be downloaded from there. Also, trailers and teasers can be made down loadable.
