Today I did some research into different media institutions that might distribute our media product. I took a look at some different football films a then looked at what media companies then distributed them. One of the films i found is called Pelé, which is all about he rise of a character leading Brazil to its first world cup victory. In comparison where my film is about a small town underdog team making their way up to the champions league, so i thought that Pelé would be the perfect film to use for comparison.
- A good example of a film production and distribution company that would distribute our media product would be IFC films. They have predominantly released independent films. However, they have several ventures in video on demand. I feel as though it could be good to distribute through IFC films as when they released Pelé they achieved quite a good rating on IMDb. Considering the fact that both my film and Pelé are both about a process to victory, I do believe that IFC films could be a good possible media institution to work with.
- Another good example of a media institution that could be a good option for distributing our opening title sequence could be NETFLIX. NETFLIX is one of the biggest distributors. They work help distribute loads of small independent films as well as extremely well known production companies. For example, MARVEL or DC Comics. NETFLIX distribute their films globally and have a really good reputation for having a large amount of films. They have released a number of films that share some similar conventions with our opening title sequence idea. For example, Sunderland 'Til I Die, First Team Juventus, Golden Shoes and Becoming Champions.
- Sony Pictures is a subsidiary to Sony Entertainment. Meaning that by working through Sony Pictures, The process of distributing our media product would be able to be marketed on a very large scale due to the fact that Sony Pictures has a good reputation for the production and distribution of films. Sony Pictures have released a lot of films that have been given really good ratings. With this reputation they have quite the audience following their releases. For example, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Ready Player One and Superbad. All of these films have exceptional budgets allowing for effective distribution of their media products.
Conclusion:
Out of all of these distributors I feel as though the best media institution to work with would be NETFLIX. The reasoning why I feel like this would be the best option is because of a number of factors. I think that because of the fact they have such a large following which is a total 204 million users. These users every-time they access NETFLIX are first shown all of their new releases as well as a number of different categories and sub categories that users can pick from in order to find TV shows (series), Documentaries and films. NETFLIX also produce their own films as well as distribute other films from small and large film companies. With this in mind I think that they would be great to work with in order to promote our film to lots of people.
