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

There are many roles when it comes to the production, promotion and the sales of a movie and many different companies have different parts to play when it comes to getting that final product out to the public.

The production company:

A production company is a company responsible for physical production of new media, performing arts, film, radio or a television program. The company may also be directly responsible for raising  funds for the production or may accomplish this through an emissary. The production company may be either a small company or a larger one, selling it's products to a film studio or presenting it at a theatrical venue, or, in the case of film and television, it may be the studio itself.  To produce my movie , I would approach the UK Film Council who will ultimately distribute and advertise the movie.They will also provide the funding needed for the production.

The distribution company;

A film distributor is a company or individual responsible for releasing films to the public either theatrically or for home viewing (DVD, Video-On-Demand, Download, Television etc). A distributor may do this directly (if the distributor owns the theaters or distribution networks) or through theatrical exhibitors and other sub-distributors. The distributor is responsible for ensuring a full line of film advertising material is available on each film, which it believes, will help the exhibitor attract the largest possible audience, create such advertising if it is not provided by the production company, and arrange for the physical delivery of the advertising items selected by the exhibitor at intervals prior to the opening day.The UK Film Council have also a distibuting department which will understake all aspects of distributing my movie.
