Question 3, what kind of media INSTITUTION might distribute your media product and why?
A film distributor is a company or individual responsible for marketing of the film. The distributor decide how and when the film will be released and they also control the success of the film.
As a group we looked at many distributors, form around the world, this was to help us collect a base idea for making our distributor and production company. We decided to make our own as it would help show our creativity and imagination.
Because we are only at school we produced our opening title sequence and we put it straight onto DVD to view on TVs for viewing. Additionally our opening title sequence is on youtube, facebook and twitter. This acts like our way of marketing and distributing it as a final media product.

Our Final DISTRIBUTOR
We decided to make our own distributor because as a group we wanted our opening title sequence to be unique, make it stand out and to make it different to other opening sequence. We stuck to the big Universal as it has connotations of having a very wide spread of things, we also wanted it to sound popular like the examples above.
Different production companies:
BLUM HOUSE productions
Production company for Paranormal Activity (2007)
20TH Century Fox
Production company for the omen (2006)
Our Production company
We decided to call it possession pictures as we were doing horror. We got this idea from Ghost House pictures. We thought this would be a good name as Possession matches with our opening title sequence as it is about poltergeist. We thought that we would use Possession Pictures as it is catchy. The deep orange misty background we thought was quite good as a bad ghost is fiery which is what the orange represents and mystical as no one can see them.
