Film Distribution ect.
1. Task 3
What kind of media institution
might distribute your media product
and why?
2. What is Production?
⢠A production company is basically the company that
make the film for the audience to watch.
⢠The production company can help when needing to
raise funds or could possibly have connections with
other larger companies to help fund the film making
process.
⢠After the film making process, a distribution
company is needed
4. What is Distribution?
Distribution is basically the methods to make the film
available for your specific target audience through
different platforms/windows. E.g.;
â˘
â˘
â˘
â˘
Theatrical release (release into cinemas
DVD/Blu-ray release
Pay TV (Sky, Virgin)
Netflix (DVD rental)
5. Examples of Distribution
⢠A good example is for the movie âShiftyâ
⢠This movie is a small independent movie that managed to get
quite popular (in spite of its very low budget)
⢠Shifty found a distribution company (metrodome) that
helped put them out into the public through various different
platforms.
⢠This Distribution company also helped with films such as,
âDonnie Darko, original versionâ and âIn the name of the kingâ
6. Would this distribution company help
your movie?
⢠Metrodome help distribute a large range of films with a vast
range of genres
⢠Metrodome are known to have helped low budget films (such
as shifty) as well as high budget films
⢠I believe that a distribution company like Metrodome might
help our movie and be interested due to it being relative
somewhat to the British teenage audience
7. Will your film have an appeal for a UK
audience only?
⢠Our film might be relevant to the UK audience however it
would be suitable mainly for teenagers/students still in
education.
⢠This is because of the teen drama/college aspect introduced
in the opening of our film. And because of the age range
shown in the film. (generally teenagers)
⢠This means that our film could potentially have an appeal for
most countries (e.g. USA, UK, European countries etc..
8. Marketing, release and exhibition
strategies for your film?
⢠This is basically where we position the audience to
make it look like the film is for them.
⢠For example; for people who enjoy watching
superhero movies, we would promote and advertise
the movie in an area that they would see.
â˘
We could do this by making an interesting poster (eye
catching and relevant to our target audience) for
example the shifty poster.
⢠We could show the trailer (in cinemas) before movies
such as, twilight (teenage audience)
9. Self distribution?
⢠Self distribution is also an
option
⢠Self distribution can be risky
due to it costing a lot of
money, However its an
opportunity
⢠However itâs possible to be
successful.
