What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Due to the small budget for the research, production and distribution of our movie opening we would need to potentially release our movie independently as appose with it being with a well known corporate brand. Websites such as Amazon Prime and Nextflix both facilitate this option, Netflix is popular among young people which is perfect due to our target audience being between the ages of 15 - 21. Both websites run on a monthly subscription basis and they promote both independent and well known movies and TV shows. Recently Amazon Prime distributed Manchester by the Sea which was nominated for 6 Academy Awards and won two for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor, additionally it won a Golden Globe for Best Actor also. Due to their huge success with this movie we have decided to use Amazon Prime as our media institution to distribute our movie. Although it isn't as popular as Netflix, it still has a lot of success among our age bracket and has huge success in the film industry. Furthermore, we would hope that if successful our movie would be converted in to DVD format and sold so those who don't have access to Amazon Prime can still watch our movie therefore increasing sales and popularity.
