2. A distributor is Often looked on as middlemen that add costs to
material purchases, distributors are, in fact, a vital link in the
composites industry, bringing tangible benefits to both material
suppliers - those manufacturing the materials - and end-users.
Most distribution companies have three primary roles: the sale of
the music, the physical distribution of the music, and the
marketing of the music. Rejecting the marketplace, most
distribution companies have similar business structures to those
of their customers, the retailers.

3. As I chose to do a film I had researched into the film distribution
industry. A film distributor is a company or individual responsible
for releasing films to the public either theatrically or for home
viewing. If I was to have a distributor for my product I would use a
company such as, 20th Century Fox or sony pictures. These are all
companies used within the UK. Although for my film this would not
be possible as both of these companies are worldwide massive
companies and my film was low budget.

4. What benefit would this have when distributing your product? Is your product
similar but slightly different from what they already sell? Why might this be a
good thing? Does the company have a good reputation? Why is this
important? Is your product mainstream or more niche (this will affect the
company that works with it)?
I would defiantly choose 20th Century Fox as they are a great popular
worldwide company. They have a great reputation with being in the top three
worldwide distributor, the reputation of the company is very important as if
the company is known then the film is more likely to be more popular as the
customer can rely on this company as they have brought great films to
peoples screen for the past years. My product would be in their market as
they don't cater for just one target audience they distribute lots of different
genres of films for various different target audiences. My product is quite
mainstream as there are many horrors about at the moment. This means that
it needs a mainstream distribution company as 20th Century Fox is. It needs
the same type of company as the company need to use the appropriate
distribution methods to get to the target audience needed.

5. The films that I researched like tears and paranormal activity where all
advertised in different ways. They used things such as the obvious
YouTube trailer, TV adverts, and on the radio. For my target
audience which is age 15-35 I would probably take advantage of
things like twitter or facebook as these are very popular with this
age range, so therefore this would be effective. Then if they have
seen it on the screen they may then go and watch it in the cinema or
even buy the dvd.
