might distribute

Evaluation Task 3
Evaluation Task 3

2.  Our film ‘Cyclone’ is low budget
and the audience it would
attract would be a niche market
rather than a global target
audience.This is due to the
factors such as a large budget
or impressive special effects it
is missing in order for global
conglomerate companies to be
interested in distributing
‘Cyclone’, we would aim for a
British independent film
company to distribute. Our film
instead of containing a
recognisable or famous actor or
director contains an up and
coming actor, who has a fan
base within niche markets.

3.  The films is a
technological thriller
set in a post -
apocalyptic future
following the spread
of a computer spread
by the company
Cyclone, as shown in
our opening
sequence, where the
only central character
shown is our
antagonist, Jack
Storm.The rest of the
film follows the
protagonist trying to
reverse the effects of
the virus in a limited
time period, making
our thriller more
suspenseful.
 By distributing to
niche markets it
will be cost
efficient and,
considering big
chains of cinema
such as AMC
Entertainment in
America could be
more interested in
showing a large
scale high concept,
high budget and
highly marketed
film such as The
Avengers, which
will bring in a
global audience
and create much
more profit.

4. This is why ‘Cyclone’ would aim to be distributed by a British
Independent film company, such as DNA films, which has been
successful in producing very successful and critically acclaimed
pieces such as‘Trainspotting’, ’28 Days Later’, ’28 Weeks Later’
and ‘The Beach’. DNA films produces high concept and high
budget films as well as low budget experimental films, and since
the film company has a sterling reputation for these films, it will
create a helpful platform to launch ‘Cyclone’ from.

5. The distribution of ‘Cyclone’ would have to be
conventional and low budget, but considering how the
film is based around computers and computer virus
based suspense, we could market via interactive
internet ads, pop up ads and apps on both computers
and phones.This will coincide with the standard TV
spots, trailer onYouTube and interactive website
showing pictures, the trailer and background of the film.

6.  After the film had been
released into a few select
cinemas in 2D, which for
budgets sake would
probably have a short run
in the theatre and not have
many showings, I think the
film would be distributed
typically through DVD and
Blu-Ray releases, with
different tv spots shown for
these to generate attention
around the release into
shops and downloading
the film online.
