If our opening sequence was a real film what type of media company would distribute it?

 If our movie idea for our opening sequence was made into a real film, we would need some form of suitable media company to distribute it. Firstly, some films similar to our concept include ‘Tower Heist’ (a production budget of $75,000,000 and distributed by Relativity Media), ‘Baby Driver’ (a production budget of $34,000,000 and distributed by Media Rights Capital) and, finally, ‘Oceans 8’ (a production budget of $70,000,000 and distributed by 20^th Century Fox). Clearly, these are all high-concept, big-budget movies that come from a Hollywood background. This correlates to our action/thriller heist opening sequence as a movie such as ours would most likely be of a Hollywood level production due to the presence of action/thriller movie aspects. These include guns, fast paced editing and getaway scenes.  

  

The target audience of all the previously mentioned movies would be that of young teenagers and even young adults. This would also correlate to our movie idea as the aspects of the action/thriller genre are present in both the Hollywood movies and our own movie idea.  

  

The way in which our movie would be marketed through would be by utilising techniques such as social media campaigns and YouTube adverts. This is because the desired target audience are more likely to be using these platforms than any other possible audience, meaning we will successfully reach the age groups that we wish to target. Therefore, our marketing campaign will successfully generate audiences that are suitable for this genre of movie. 

 

To pin down one specific media distribution company for our movie, we would choose 20^th Century Fox as they have previously specialised in the distribution of many action/thriller movies that were successful within the filmmaking market. These include movies such as 'Ready Player One', 'Justice League' and 'Deadpool 2'. These movies all had successful marketing and distribution campaigns as shown by the success of the movies themselves, grossing over 1.13 billion dollars collectively. Therefore, it is clear that 20^th Century Fox would be beneficial to choose for the distribution and marketing of our own movie idea.
