TASK THREE: What kind of media institution might distribute your media project and why?

My media project's aim was to produce a successful and adrenaline pumping opening sequence to a thriller. I think that we have successfully achieved this through the build up of suspense through our tracking shot, in which only the feet of the suspected enemy of the story can be seen.
Out of the film companies that we have studied (Warner Bros Pictures, Warp Films and Vertigo) I think that Vertigo is the most likely to distribute my media project. Vertigo is a British independent film company which creates a wide variety of films. Our group decided that our thriller would be a 'CSI' type of film which had a number of murders linked together (possibly by the idea of The Olympics). Vertigo has, in the past, created 'CSI thrillers' (an example being ‘WAZ’) and so my film would fit into a genre of film which has previously been a success for this media institution, meaning that they would possibly be interested in another. 



Vertigo also aims to balance social realism with films of a mainstream intention which is perfect for my thriller. The storyline which would follow on from our opening sequence would be of an aspiring Olympic swimmer whose dream is to win a gold medal, but she is kidnapped by her competition (either another swimmer or another swimmer’s trainer).
