distributer for our film?

produced some very high end films
 It covers a wide variety or genre of film from
action to comedy
 Its earnt a lot of high end awards from all of
the different films it distributes like Oscars

distributor for our film?
 As our film is a thriller I haven't yet found a
film that’s been distributed by studio canal
and has been a thriller.

film and like a lot of action, aged around
15-20.

Action adventure – Hunger games,
Divergent.

20 Academy Awards, 77 Academy
nominations.
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.
Why would it not be a good distributer for
my film:
The stories aren't as serious as a thriller
would be, it would focus on the story

9. Distributor-Pathé

10. 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.
Target Audience, genres and films

11. Would this distribution company be good
for our film?
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.

13. TARGET AUDIENCE
Age Between 12- 30. As they do many Kid films but also do
THRILLERS, Action films, 18+. Films that would not be suitable
for there young audience
EXAMPLE OF FILMS
KID FILMS: Top cat, Pudsey The Dog, Horrid Henry
HRILLER: OUTCAST, MONSTERS, THE CHILDREN
ACTION: RETREAT, 1DAY
AWARDS:
NOMINATED FOR OSCAR
2009SUN DANCE AUDIENCE AWARD
WHY IS IT A GOOD DISTRIBUTOR FOR ARE MOVIE?
Vertigo suits are genre of film, also may have the finance and
ideas to continue the process of the beginning
WHY IS IT A BAD DISTRIBUTOR FOR ARE MOVIE?
Vertigo seems that they may do too many kid films and this
may get in the way of creating a catchy thriller.
