Evaluation task 3: Distribution company
- 1. W H AT K I N D O F M E D I A I N S T I T U T I O N M I G H T D I S T R I B U T E Y O U R M E D I A P R O D U C T A N D W H Y ? E VA L U A T I O N TA S K 3
- 2. P R O D U C T I O N C O M PA N Y This is the production company that would potentially produce our film. They are a french film company that have vertically integrated into different aspects including film production, film distribution, and marketing. They are seeking to produce film on a commercial level, and become a European dominant film company, which could potentially compete with the ‘big six’. Subsidiary of Vivendi European company that follows a hollywood structure They have produced and distributed films like: • Non-Stop • Shaun of the dead • Cuban Fury • Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa • Catch Me Daddy They tend to produce and distribute a wide range of products from very British dramas like ‘Catch Me Daddy’ to big budget action films like ‘Non-Stop’
- 3. C AT C H M E D A D D Y ( 2 0 1 4 ) I N S P I R A T I O N This film has influenced my decision towards choosing ‘Studio Canal’ as my production and distribution company. Film specifications: • Produced by Emu films • Distributed by Studio Canal • Director: Daniel Wolfe Cannes 2014 Review: “This debut from Daniel Wolfe – featuring tremendous cinematography from Robbie Ryan – is a tense, troubled and troubling thriller about a British Pakistani girl on the run” • This film shares similarities with my thriller ‘Embers’. • It is a low budget social realist drama • It is distributed by studio canal • Visually, it looks similar to the way I envisioned my film to look • It was marketed mostly through film festivals • It stars unknown actors that have a lot of talent
- 4. C AT C H M E D A D D Y Low budget film with excellent cinematography
- 5. O T H E R O P T I O N S Companies such as vertigo, entertainment one, and altitude films would have all been sufficient companies to distribute my film. However I chose Studio Canal because, after researching the type of film they distribute, it is very likely that they would distribute a film such as mine; a gritty social realist thriller. Catch me daddy, only released in 2014, was a successful film. It is very likely that studio canal would choose to distribute a film similar to this (Ember’s) because it proved to be a success before it is likely to happen again. It is very likely that many companies would distribute this film not just one. Deals would be made pre-release at film festivals, with american companies to gain various distributers.
- 6. W H AT T Y P E O F F I L M ? • Assuming the film would be funded by companies like Film4 and the national lottery, a budget of around £800,000 would be a reasonable figure • The film has no pre-sold elements, and not predicted to be a guaranteed success • The film would partner with other companies to reduce the risk of loosing a large investment • A low budget UK Feature Fuelled by Plot and character • A visceral and gritty social realist Thriller • Bleak in Theme and Mood (opens with brutal violence)
- 7. D I S T R I B U T I O N A N D M A R K E T I N G • Studio Canal have their own production and distribution company. Therefore the film will be almost entirely produced and distributed by them. This film is produced on a low budget and therefore not a large amount of money will be fed towards the marketing scheme. The film will release teaser posters and trailers prior to the films release Film Festival exhibition will be a vital part of the marketing campaign. We would rely on the quality of the product with the intention to grow awareness by receiving positive reviews and awards.
