Q3: kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

I think that Warner Brothers Pictures would be best suited to produce and distribute our thriller. Warner Brothers is based in California and New York, America. The company is also a subsidiary of Time Warner who, as of 2010, was the world’s second largest media conglomerate in terms of revenue behind Walt Disney. This is one of the reasons I would choose this company as they’re a big, successful institute which are thought of highly in the film industry, people associate their films with being a high standard which would help promote our thriller- following the benchmark set by Warner Bros.

Moreover another reason I would choose Warner Brothers to distribute our thriller is for their resources. Being an established company since 1918 they have a lot of knowledge and experience which would help guide Dan & I who are inexperienced in the film industry. Having one of the largest revenues in the media conglomerate also means that we would have good quality resources available to us such as renown directors, actors, producers and the equipment to shoot and edit high quality footage. 

Our thriller is similar to the movie Taken in that they’re similar story lines with the protagonist on a mission of revenge, we also use diegetic, mysterious music to help build the tension where needed keeping a constant tempo, like Taken. With successful thriller films such as Gangster Squad, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises and Inception being released by Warner Bros I believe that they would mould our thriller into one as good as their own.
