What kind of media institution might distribute ‘The Missing’ and why

1: To get a clear view of what other thrillers might contain we looked at 3 Movies
(In my case that was ‘Disturbia’, ‘Stille Nacht’ and ‘Don’t Say A Word’)
2: ‘Disturbia’ is distributed by DreamWorks SKG
3: ‘Don’t Say A Word’ by Regency Enterprises
(‘The Missing’ would not be produced by a major Hollywood studio, as it is more for friends and not based on a huge audience, also it was a short film rather than an hour long)

4: ‘The Missing’ is more likely to be released on the internet, such as on YouTube, Facebook, Hyves and Itunes.

I think that I am right to say that the majority of internet users have heard of YouTube. YouTube is a site on which you can upload, watch and share your video'st for free. In July 2006, 65.000 video's were uploaded everyday and over a million video's were watched at the same time. Some artists found there fame and fortune by uploading their video's onto this site. Therefore this site is one of the best sites to promote ourselves. http://www.youtube.com/

Facebook is an American social Network site for pupils, students and employee's. It is mainly used in English speaking countries and the majority of the users are American or British. In Decembre 2008 grew with at least 600.000 entries every single day. In April 2009 Facebook had over 9 millions active users. Again, this site is a gives a great opportunity to promote our product(s). http://www.facebook.com/

Hyves is a Dutch social Network site, such as MySpace and Facebook. In Octobre 2007 Hyves reached the amount of over 7.4 million users. I personally think that using Hyves to promote our product is a great way. In this way we can reach other countries besides the English speaking ones. http://hyves.nl/

Just like with YouTube, the majority of internet users have heard of Itunes. The programm is a digital mediaplayer which you can use to play music and video's. Via internet connection Itunes can download digital music, tv shows, iPod games, iPod software, several podcasts and films. The last aspect is the most important to us; so our product can be downloaded. http://www.apple.com/itunes/

The most important thing of all these aspects of the internet is that it is accesible for everone. Including every age-bias. Our film is focused on our own age-bias (15-24), teenagers are more likely to go online and watch video’s on the internet, for example YouTube. Or visit special internet sites for video’s). But also the age group 35+ does use these the internet, which is the biggest growing demographic group there is.
