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

We decided to choose Warner Bros because it is a mass film institution and is well known to an audience. We think that our film would be British as the actors/actresses would be British, however since Warner Bros is also very popular in the US it could also be released in America, which would gain the film a bigger audience.

The image on the left is the Warner Bros institution that was specially designed to be used for the Harry Potter films, which is a good technique that the institution have used because this allows the audience to be able recognise this particular design if they happen to see it in advertisements on TV, magazines, posters, etc.

We think that this idea of having a British film but releasing it out into the US can be compared to other popular films that have teamed with Warner Bros, for example the Harry Potter films. These films are extremely popular worldwide, and even though the films were originally British they soon became released in other countries such as America to promote the films, but also the books. So even though the majority of the actors and actresses within these films are British, the films still appeal to an audience from countries all over the world.

A film that our opening is very similar to is Scream, which is also linked to the Warner Bros institution, and since this film is also in the horror category we feel that it's the closest similarity that our film opening has to another horror film. Scream is a very popular film and when watching various clips of the film we felt quite inspired by the plot, and we can compare various aspects of the film to our film opening, for example the use of close ups on the victim on the lead up to her getting attacked by the antagonist, or the fact that we used a telephone as a way of communication or messaging between the antagonist and the victim. Like in most horror films, we also included the fact that the victim was alone before she was attacked, the only difference being that the setting on the between the two were different, but having differences is good because we didn’t want to just go along with the exact same plot as Scream, we all put in our own ideas to make it our own work.
