Presentation british us studio backed film
The document discusses the marketing campaign for the 2010 film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, a British-US co-production based on the hugely popular Harry Potter book series.

Assignment 19 – production & distribution research
The document discusses potential film distribution companies for a new media product. OpenRoad is suggested as it distributed the film 'Silent House' which influenced the media product, and it targets a similar teenage audience. 'After Dark' was initially considered but its films contain gore and supernatural elements unlike the media product. The document also provides production and distribution details for four films - The Box, Silent House, Creep, and Mirrors - as points of reference.
Question 3
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures would be suitable distributors for the media product. A distributor is responsible for determining a film's release in theaters and home video, and handling its distribution through cinemas, sub-distributors, or directly if they own theaters. Warner Bros. and Legendary are famous for distributing a wide range of genres, especially action films similar to the media product, and their credit clips are included in the film's opening sequence to showcase them as the distributors.
Task 3 film distribution
Film distribution involves making movies available for audiences to view through various methods. Major film distribution companies like Warner Bros distribute films to movie theaters, home media formats like DVDs and Blu-Rays, and streaming services. While self-distribution gives filmmakers full control over their work, it is also a time-consuming process that requires marketing the film, filling out paperwork, and establishing sales without the resources of a large distributor. Lionsgate is an example of a company that distributed the low-budget horror film Heartless through both theatrical release and home media.
