What kind of media institutions might distribute your media product and why?

A production company creates ideas and motion pictures, TV programmes, and adverts etc - they may also find funding for the products they produce. Warner bros have produced, Oceans 11, Feardotcom and The Dark Knight which all follow similar genres to our final production piece.
A distributor is someone reliable who would get the film out there and support it fully. Paramount Pictures would be the most reliable - they've been going for years and have already got films being produced for 2013.
There are film finance entities like banks that the Hollywood studios regularly borrow from as well as finance entities who offer a piece of the action to investors in the form of mutual funds.
When a mid-level producer seeks funding, they sometimes approach banks or investors especially if they have significant "attachments" (big name actors, etc.)
Lower level projects sometimes are financed by a producer and/or director of the film in part with other investors, or independently.
A producer budgets the movie based upon prior films of similar scale, the needs of the director, the known negotiated fees for actors, etc.
Various people are named within the title sequence of our Thriller Movie, these include the roles we took on as a group including, Director, Producer, Artistic Director and Chief Editor.
Our film is similar institutionally to Oceans 11 as a Crime Thriller and Se7en as an actually Thriller.

When looking at the SBBFC guidelines of how to rate films I found that if we had carried on filming the product it would be rated a 15 because of the strong gory images and strong threat and menace which are unlikely to be acceptable at a lower rating.
When researching films in the cinema the most popular rated films were rated at a 12 and then were sold later on DVD’s as a 15. To attract a bigger audience we would have to cut down parts of the film which had strong language and violence to reach a rating of 12 but then re-include these scenes when released on DVD.
The film would be advertised on the side of buses, which would attract a large audience from all over and on TV, which would consist of a trailer about the film, and would also be sold as a DVD when released after been in the cinemas for a period of time, which would help achieve a bigger target audience.
To get the companies to premier our media product however we would have to sell it to them and would have to persuade them to buy it from us.
