What kind of Media institution would distribute our media product and why?

A media institution is an organisation which is involved in the distribution and often the creation of media areas such as advertising and entertainment with examples including organisations such as ESPN and Microsoft. The type of media institution that would distribute our clip would be film institutions such as Touchstone Pictures and Dreamworks. With the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group being the parent company to Touchstone Pictures, our film would have a strong financial backing and so would have large distribution to give it the best chance of success. Touchstone Pictures and Dreamworks are relevant organisations because Touchstone have previously been involved in a film very similar to ours called 'Goal!' and with Dreamworks having signed a distribution deal with Walt Disney Motion Pictures, the two companies fit well.
Goal!


As our film is aimed at a younger audience, these film organisations would continue that outlook as Dreamworks have distributed many films aimed at a younger, teenage audience, films such as Road Trip and Old School. Without the use of such successful organisations, our film clip used two film companies. Both firms are lower budget companies both of which still produce quality films.
Our first film company is 67' Productions. This is a production company based in the UK and are re-knowned for producing sport films. The '67' comes from the year the company was established and did so in this year as it was the year after England won the world cup thus stating their enthusiasm for sport and so have continued this by expressing it in their often 'sport themed' productions.

The second film organisation used is a distribution company. The company is called Enigma Studios and specialises in films aimed at younger audiences which goes well with our production.
