Question 3

However.....

What if I want the biggest and the best in order to go global?

Thriller films produced by MGM

Hannibal

2001: A space Odyssey

Poltergeist

They have distributed a couple of small thriller films such as ‘Scent’ and ‘Vigilante’ to not only cinemas but American film festivals in which they have won. This institution will help make my thriller successful as it is a small British film company however has contacts to many subsidiaries and festivals to help promote my film. They also specialize in shorts.

I would use the American institution Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer or MGM

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

The Blueprint Films website

If I was to start thinking about media institution, I would choose a small company as we are not a big budget thriller meaning we cannot pay fees for advertising or distribution. A media institution is important to consider as they are the people who will get a film recognized to a greater audience and have contacts in cinemas and festivals. The institution I would consider is blueprint films.

The films mentioned there are some of MGM's most popular and successful thrillers which rank in viewers all time favorites. I feel MGM would be the perfect film institution to take my thriller global as it has contacts all over the world and is highly respected. It also knows how to promote thrillers due to successful previous knowledge.
