5. ROLE OF A DISTRIBUTOR
• A FILM DISTRIBUTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MARKETING OF A
FILM. FILMS MAY HAVE MULTIPLE DISTRIBUTORS TO FURTHER
PROMOTE AND GET PEOPLE TO WATCH THE FILM. FOR A FILM THEY
MAY HAVE DISTRIBUTORS FOR DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD TO
GET TO GET THE FILM HERD ABOUT IN OTHER COUNTRIES. THEY
CHOOSE THE RELEASE DATE AND ARE IN CHARGE OF THE
ORGANISATION OF ADVERTISING SUCH AS POSTERS AND
PARTNERSHIPS.
7. PARAMOUNT
PARAMOUNT MOVIES ARE TYPICALLY OF THE THRILLER GENRE
AND SO IS MINE SO I THINK THAT THEY WOULD WANT TO
DISTRIBUTE MY PRODUCT TOO.
WORKING TITLE
DISNEY
DISNEY ONLY PRODUCES CHILDREN’S FILMS AND
THEY ONLY PRODUCE FILMS THAT THEY HAVE MADE
THEMSELVES SO MY THRILLER MOVIE WILL NOT BE
SUITABLE.
9. There is different ways of advertising a ne film and these include: billboards, Youtube,
social media, tv and posters to name but a few. I think that for my film it would be be best for it to firstly
be advertised by there being a trailer released onto youtube, then posters put on on bus stops for
example. Once more people will have heard of it being release then posters can start being produced.
11. My film can be distributed as a DVD and Blue ray DVD but also now as a result of Web 2.0 there is
websites and
apps such as Netflix and amazon prime which means that people can access my film easier without
having to pay for it on its own. ITunes is another example of where people can get my film from as it
means they don’t have to get it fro he shop and instead they can take it anywhere with them and
watch it on there phone.
