Question 3;

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

Pathe is the distributor of our film. It is a french company which became the worlds largest film and equipment company. We chose Pathe because we felt it best suited our film and genre. Pathe mainly distribute low budget, low key films and aim on films with a creative or interesting streak/twist. Pathe normally focus on films with hidden meaning making them entreging and exciting for the audience. It normally distributes creative film linking with the conventions of our genre.

We very much focus around the idea of family within our thriller even though its aiming on something that is distressing and bad, we have very much aimed it around the idea of family and relationships/bonds. Because of the connections and bonds between each character e.g. the two young girls being sisters it displays the emotion em-phasing the abduction and the traumatic happening. Because our film is about teenagers and child abduction and crime within young adults our film is aimed towards this age group as they could have best possible understanding and it raises awareness for them speaking for victims of such crime.  This is why we feel Pathe best displays this as it works for thrillers which is our genre and is best for creative film e.g. hidden meaning which is good because ours very much links to mystery but at the same time displays to certain people/age group.

127 hours is another film which Pathe have distributed which is similar to ours. It includes life and survival which links to ours as ours is also based around life or death situation. It displays the family view as he often talks of home and his family life showing his love for his life linking with emotions. The film isn't just a crime that needs to be solved but also gives a meaningful story to emphases him as a person and whats going on, this also links with our film.
