6. All of the listed above are mostly like the companies
which will distribute our media product.
Why? Because they are the most well known production
companies in the world. Although it is not as easy as it
sounds, due to our media product being a student film, it
means we'd have to work extra hard to get our film
distributed into the film industry.
This can be done by taking it to a student film
festival, uploading it to YouTube or different student film
sites and depending how popular it gets, small UK
companies may want to invest in it. (Cineworld)
If this was done, it will hopefully set off the audience
numbers that have watched it and boost the ratings.
