Evaluation Activity 3

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

Notes:

The production company is a group of people responsible for creating new media, like tv programmes and films. They can also be responsible for gathering money to fund the production. The production company can be both small and large, like its products.

Film distributors are companies that take a film thats been produced and release them for public viewing. A distributor would have to either have to own distribution networks, like theatres, or contact a distribution network and work with them. Anthem Pictures, Brain Damage Films, Darclight.

20th Century Fox
Lions Gate
Paramount Pictures

In most films, the credits will show the names of the actors first. They would usually be the most famous people involved in the entire film, including production etc, so the general audience is likely to want to know their names more. Smaller jobs like photography that have a smaller effect on the outcome of the film would come after.
