What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
I think the most likely media institution to distribute my product is Warner Bros, they where at the heart of the Film Noir revolution back in the 1940s. They released hundreds of film noir films and would be likely to be the first company to distribute my film.  I think Warner Bros would be better at distributing my media product than a film company such as Sony as Warner Bros again have a huge back catalog of film noir`s so I feel they will have a  brand identity.
In the 1920's Warner Brothers did not have as much money as other famous film companies at the time. Companies such as MGM where bigger and had larger amounts of money. But today Warner Brothers is a highly successful, conglomerate owning hundreds of media businesses.  Warner Bros. has several subsidiary companies, including Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Animation, Warner Home Video, New Line Cinema, Castle Rock Entertainment, DC Entertainment, and the former The WB Television Network. Warner Bros. owns half of The CW Television Network. They are a huge company worth billions. 
Warner Brothers have produced some amazing film noir, gangsta films and now are renowned for being the best film noir/ gangsta films. So would fit my film perfectly.
The Warner Brothers studios where a lot smaller than rival media institutions like MGM and there backgrounds where not as advanced so. The backgrounds would be very dark so you cant see the small set that they would of  had. But these days the studios are a lot larger and there is the use of green screens, and there is a lot more money in the company so the films can be filmed in lots of amazing locations.
Some famous films from the Warner Brothers, are films like Maltese Falcon. The Warner Brothers website has a store selling its old film noir films which suggests that people still buy them and there is still a market out there for film noir films. Some huge modern day films which Warner Bros have produced is the whole Harry Potter trilogy and the Dark Knight films. Among many more smash hit movies. Warner Brothers have a great back catalog of films which makes them a really good choice of media institution for my film.
My production company is Bather Films and this comapany is working with Warner Bros to produce the film. I would need to fund the film by showing Warner Brothers there is a market for my film. I would compare it to films like Sin city and refer to all of there old classic film noir films and how people are still buying film noir films and that there is a amass market for them. There are also not many modern day film noirs so I think that a breathe of fresh air to the modern day movie industry is a great idea.
WB own the means of distribution and can pay for prints for a global audinece to be shown in cinemas which they also own.They can get my film into the cinemas and block book slots to ensure it si screened and is accessinble to an audience





Warner brothers often used dry ice in there films to add to the effect and would be great to use in my film to add to the tension/ shady effect of the film. Warner Brothers have lots of tight shots, angles and lots of close ups so would be great in my film as there a lots of scenes that include close up shots and different angles. 




 My film would not be the most expensive film to make. There wouldn`t be any car chases or explosions. There would be a few gun fights but most of the acting would be located in bars, park offices. Nothing out of the ordinary. I don't want the film to be CGI which would be a money saver and I don't want any explosions. I want a realistic style film. So the budget of the film wouldn't be that expensive.
