What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
As with the second question, think back to Unit G322 to help you with this one. We covered the film industry and you have been working on the production of the opening sequence of a film so it should all tie in. The question asks you about distribution so you certainly need to show that you understand what distribution entails in the film industry - remember that we talked about P and A - Prints and Advertising. It's also worth mentioning something about production too - what sort of institution would produce a text such as yours?
To answer this question you need to assume that your opening sequence would be turned into a feature length film and then think about how it would be distributed and who would do this. Look back over your notes at the work that we did on the production and distribution of Adulthood and Quantum of Solace. Ignore the fact that your film is a piece of A Level coursework to answer this question - what I'm looking for is an understanding of the film industry. If your film would be most likely to be produced and distributed by one of the majors then say so.
It's also worth checking the following websites for a bit of guidance:

More coming soon on question 4.
