3) What kind of media institutions might distribute your media product and why?
In my post about how we may market the film, I mention that we'd use Sony Distribustion in order to get our production to people. I did however note that as Through the Glass will be a small budget film, made by companies working in synergy with one another, then Sony (being a large company) may not take the job of distributing our production due to the high risk of failure to produce a profitable sum of money at the box office.
Therefore, I believe that a relitively smaller company such as Channel 4 distribution would better suit the task. This is also beneficial as it is easily accessible through Film 4, who are one of the companies involved in production.
Films such as Trainspotting 1 have used Channel 4 distribution to do this and then, after becoming a successful hit, have moved up to companies such as Sony Distribution, who took the job as the success of Trainspotting 1 meant that T2 Trainspotting was much less of a risk.
