Thriller: Evaluation Question 3 - What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Similar films are distributed in different ways, they are Cinema, when the film is high budget and the money is gathered from the ticket sales, when a film is on cinema it get more publicity. When a slim goes straight to DVD and Bluray it gets money from the sales of each DVD, the good thing about DVD is that the company can get revenue continually even if the film is not that popular. For the customer they can watch it over and over again. When a film is sold to a television network so they can broadcast, revenue is received from the film being sold to the institution, selling it to a television network allows the film to hit a larger audience and allow the directer to get publicity. There are two ways that films are distributed on the Internet some are put on so people can download it and there are websites like YouTube that allow short, low budget films to get money from advertsing.



I have chosen that the best way to distribute my film is on YouTube getting a small distribution company, like Eyepatch entertainmen. I have chosen this way because of a wider audience will be able to watch it, also it is free, quick, and easy. My film would be a low budget film so I think it would have more revenue if it goes straight to the Internet so people can give positive and constructive criticism.
