6. WHY IS COLUMBIA AND METRO-
GOLDWYN-MAYER INSTITUTIONS
GOOD FOR OUR MEDIA PRODUCT?
I think Columbia is suitable for our media product as they produce
lots of thriller-based films. Paired with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer,
Columbia distributed the James Bond franchise, including it’s
latest hit Spectre.
Specifically, both film studio’s thrillers are more action-based,
such as Men in Black and Bad Boys. This is similar to our media
product which would be more action-based than horror-based
thriller.
Our media product shares the same conventions of a espionage
thriller.
Therefore Columbia and Metro would be quite suitable to
distribute our product.
