Lionsgate and Pathe

2. Target Audience for their Films:
People who are interested in the plot of a film and like a lot of
action, aged around 15-20. Due to the past films its created such
as divergent and Hunger Games I get the idea that it’s a family
film, not containing too much violence or action but also having
the right amount as well.
Genres + Example of films:
Action adventure – Of recent years making: Hunger games,
Divergent, Kickass. (very successful films for an independent
distributer).
Success/Awards:
Extremely successful in the past few years with their biggest
movie blockbusters of the hunger games, winning and
competing for major awards. They have 20 Academy Awards, 77
Academy nominations.

3. Why would it be a good distributer for my film:
As it would suit the idea of a good plot with a lot of
action. As the story has a good revenge plot and a lot of
action throughout it has some similarities that Lionsgate
have made before.
Why would it not be a good distributer for my film:
The stories aren't as serious as a thriller would be, our
film would contain more violence than recent Lionsgate
films have contains, they try to avoid ruthless killing. Also
our movie is a realistic thriller which could happen, most
Lionsgate films aren’t realistic in the plot.

5. Pathé
Pathé have created films such as:
Mandela
The Queen
The Duchess
Philomena
These films are all of the drama genre but are also based on a true story.
They tend to have a older target audience, this is due to the fact that the
characters are also within this age frame and therefore the audience may
find it easier to relate to them but also that they are based on historical
events that the audience may be interested in. All the above films have a
rating of a 12 and therefore have only moderately offensive behavior in
the movies that a older audience would not object to. These films would
also appeal to people who enjoy critically acclaimed films as these films
all received nominations for and some cases won awards.

6. Not particularly as though Pathé are know to work with
British companies and on low budget movies they wouldn’t
be the best fit as we are working towards making a film for
the thriller genre, when Pathé tend to work more heavily
on dramas. But not only this there are differences in our
target audiences are we are pushing towards a younger
target audience that would be more open to seeing violent
and probably more offensive footage that they distributer
is used to publishing.
Would this distribution
company be good for our film?
