Q3: What Kind of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product and Why?

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

The main UK distribution companies are:

Film Four:

UK Film Council:

BBC Films:

I think that Film Four would distribute our movie. Film Four produces movies (very often of the genre of Youth Culture) by up and coming and independent directors and producers. Our movie is a youth culture movie, created by us- up and coming, independent producers and directors. 

Channel Four looks for movies that expand and present young British Talent to nurture the talent and hopefully create a British film industry to challenge America's. Film Four often looks for movies with a story to tell and quite often a motto. Our movie tells the story of an unusual youth in that he is finding himself a way out of the 'Youth' culture, challenging the stereotype and creating an interesting moral to the story- don't judge this character by his facade (created by his slang and costume). Basically- don't judge a book by its cover.

I think our movie conforms to Film Fours scruples, which is why i think Film Four is the most likely of the three UK Film conglomerates to distribute our movie.

Some of our researched movies from our Research and Planning blog- such as This Is England, Attack the Block, and Trainspotting have been distributed by Film Four. These three films have the same genre as ours (Youth Culture) and even though some have different plots, the basic characters are the same- a young character in the dangerous street culture.
