What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
What’s on;
At the cinema there are normally all the categories of film/genre showing, but it depends on the year as the films are always changing and depending on the time of year when films are released. Horror films such as “paranormal activity” are released towards Halloween where more people, from the time of year want to see horror related films. At this time of year people tend to see more happy related films or Christmas films such as “Rise of the Guardians” (http://www.odeon.co.uk/fanatic/film_info/m12167/Rise_of_the_Guardians_2D/)
Most of the films showing at the cinema this month are action and adventure but this varies depending on what month you are in or what the latest biggest film is out. i.e in novemeber the new James bond film came out which is an action/adventure so most of the films showing are of this same genre.
Big block buster films sure as the new James Bond “Skyfall” don’t always have a time of year when they are released into the cinema which is a Action/Adventure film don’t normally have a season where they come out.

The bbc hold whats called a Film network, now this is a page in which is dedicated to a page full of competitions in which you can enter for a film maker. Such as 8 Hour Film Challenge.
A new meaning to 'short films'. Select a genre. Receive a character, prop and line of dialogue to appear in your film. The rest is up to you to decide- and to create and complete - in 48 hours!
looking at all of these I think that as a group the best idea would be to entre the group into a national young filmmaker competition as from the genre that we chose and doing it for the first time would be fun all round for the group. I think that the other options would not be suitable as our film is not up the quality or standard of modern professional films.
