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

The studio we chose for our film was 'Warner Brothers.' This is because they distribute films with the same genres ours and we needed a big conglomerate to distribute our film out to appeal to a mass audience, and knowing all the success that Warner Brothers have had, we thought that this would be the best option because we know that it will be distributed and marketed to the best it can.

In addition to this our director Matin Scorsese has directed a number of successful Warner Brother films such as, 'GoodFellas', 'The departed' and 'The Aviator.' Two of these films also star our main character 'Leonardo DiCaprio.' This is good because it creates good chemistry in the working environment, and having all worked together before things will run more smoothly and everyone will be more comfortable with each other meaning there will be a greater outcome. In addition to this our main character which is played by 'Leonardo DiCaprio' has huge star power so we already have a pre sold audience as he has a massive fan base, but our plan is to appeal to as much people as we can and make the most money we can so having a big actor an a big conglomerate is vital to the success of the film.

Furthermore, Warner Brothers have also released award winning films that are the same genre as ours such as 'Syriana' and 'The Accountant'. These films had huge success and great reviews from critics and we believe ours will be the same. In addition to this J.K Simmons starred in 'The Accountant' so one of our actors already has experience in working in our chosen company.

In conclusion our first choice was Warner Brothers because they are a big conglomerate that can distribute our film well and also our actors and director have worked within this studio before a number of times.
