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

A production and distribution media company that may be interested in or project is Warp Films. Warp Films are a Sheffield based production company, which is useful as this means they are a local company. They may be interested in our product as Warp Films often focus on though provoking story telling and characters instead of very special effects driven films such as 71 and This is England. This is good for us as our film is mostly focussed on the story and characters instead of awing the audience with beautiful special effects sequences. However, the audiences of Warp Films productions are often very different than our chosen audiences. With the film being set in the near future and the biggest differences in the time periods being smaller technological advancements, this is still possible with the small budgets Warp Films typically works with. However, working with Warp would mean that the film would be distributed using an exterior company. This may cost money and decrease the chances of a profit which would already be low due to the lower production values and lesser known actors that would e involved with the production.

Working Title are a British production company owned by Universal, a much larger production company in the US and a part of the Big Six. This means that many of Working Titles production often have a larger budget. A production with a budget of up to 35 million has all the creative freedom it needs meaning that there would be no studio executives interfering with production process. This is useful because it means that our production would have a larger budget than if it was created with Warp Films allowing us to create almost anything we wanted within budget meaning that more special effects could be used and possibly better known actors, increasing the chances of success. Additionally with Working Title being a subsidiary or Universal, no outsourcing would be required for distribution, increasing the chances of success. Working Title have also worked on films of a similar genre and audience creating films such as Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, a spy thriller, and also Science Fiction and action comedies such as Paul and Hot Fuzz, films that have a similar audience to our own. Working Title have a policy in terms of what films they create. Making 2 passion projects which are very risky, 2 mainstream films and 1 that will definitely make money. Our film may considered riskier due to the more niche genre meaning that it may be a while before the film is made or may not be made at all.
