Institution

It is necessary to take into consideration the kind of media institution which might distribute our product.
As our product is a horror/thriller film, I have researched the British Film Institution's participation with horror or thriller films.
This research has provided me with the knowledge that the BFI has had a vast history of both thriller and horror films, from the Lumière brothers' thriller in 1895 to Jonathan Glazer's Sexy Beast (2000). This suggests that the BFI may be the appropriate institution to distribute our film product, 'delinquent', as the institution's history suggests that it has great experience with the distribution of thriller films, and would therefore suit our film, the delinquent. A film that aims to bring about a thrill within the audience of ignorance of what will happen. This is similar to the films that the BFI advocates, such as The 39 Steps, Brighton Rock and The Lodger.
