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

I decided that Dimension Films would be a good company to distribute our film because they have distributed films with a similar genre to ours such as Scary Movie, Piranha, Devil’s Knot, Halloween and The crow. Dimension films is an American production company owned by the Weinstein Company, it was formally used as Bob Weinstein's label within Maramax Films, to produce and release genre films. They then took this label and departed the Disney-owned Miramax in October 2005. By researching into this before producing our film, we were able to have a look at the style and way their distributed films were made and mind map some interesting ideas, this helped us when producing our film. The way in which 'Dimension Films' distribute their films is that they blanket advertise and post links on social network sites, this would be a good way of distributing our film because most of our target audience use social networking sites daily.
