What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
  1. Professional distributors would watch our film and offer to put it on the market. This would be good as it would create bigger profits and make the film more well known. If the distributor has a good reputation and name the film is more likely to be successful.
    1. In order to get the attention of successful distributors we could...
      1. Go to film festivals
        1. Cannes
          1. Berlin
            1. Sundance
              1. Glasgow
                1. Toronto
                2. Write a direct letter to the distributor
                  1. This direct contact may lead to meetings with the heads of companies
                  2. Put our film on social media
                    1. Twitter
                      1. Facebook
                        1. YouTube
                          1. Blogs
                          2. Advertisements

                              1. Leaflets
                                1. Trailers
                            2. Specific distributors need to be chosen on their stereotype genre and have produced films with typical characteristics similar to our own film.
                                1. Action and Adventure
                                  1. Family and comedy
