Film distribution
Film distribution involves making a movie available to audiences through various platforms over time. Initially, films are typically shown in movie theaters. Then, around 16 weeks later, films are released on DVD and streaming services. After a few more months, films are released on pay TV and subscription streaming sites. Around two years later, films become available on free-to-air TV. Standard distribution aims to maximize profits by releasing films across different platforms over an extended period to maintain interest and generate income from multiple sources. Simultaneous distribution releases films on all platforms at once to appeal to different audience preferences but risks less promotion and investment.

The document discusses strategies for successful Australian film distribution and marketing. It analyzes case studies of films that were successful with word of mouth marketing starting small, like Samson and Delilah, versus those that failed launching too big, like Red Hill. Word of mouth and film festivals are identified as important marketing tools. Online and digital distribution are growing methods but still undervalued in Australia. Producers are taking on more distributor roles and will need to integrate distribution planning earlier in the process.
Film distribution powerpoint
A film distributor is an independent company that markets and circulates movies to theaters and home viewers. Distribution involves finding the largest possible audience for a film. Distributors aim to convince exhibitors like movie theaters to show the film. They arrange screenings and use marketing techniques. Once contracted, the distributor ensures enough film prints are made and shipped to theaters on opening day. They also create advertisements. As an example, the independent film Bullet Boy was released on 75 prints in the UK through the distributor Verve Pictures, who aimed to appeal to diverse audiences through newspaper ads and a poster conveying the film's tone.
Introduction to film distribution
The document discusses different company structures in the film industry such as conglomerates, horizontal integration, and vertical integration. It also examines the role of distribution companies in getting films from production to exhibition by organizing certification, securing exhibition outlets, arranging prints and marketing. The major film distributors that control around 90% of the market in the UK are United International Pictures, Warner Brothers, Buena Vista, 20th Century Fox, and Sony.

Distribution is the process of bringing films from producers to audiences. It is often called the "invisible art" as it operates behind the scenes. In the UK, distribution focuses on marketing films in local markets. It involves licensing films from producers and coordinating with exhibitors. Key aspects of distribution include producing promotional materials, advertising campaigns, arranging film screenings and transporting physical film prints to theaters. Recently, the industry has transitioned to digital distribution which allows films to reach wider audiences more cheaply and with higher quality than traditional distribution methods.
Evaluation question 3
Summit Entertainment is a film production, distribution and sales company founded in 1991. They initially handled foreign film sales but later expanded into fully financing and producing their own films by the late 1990s. Summit distributes their films both theatrically and on home video formats internationally through partnerships with other major studios like Universal and Sony. As an independent studio with access to over $1 billion in financing, Summit would be capable of distributing films internationally but likely requires partnerships for domestic theatrical distribution in large markets like North America.
Distribution and marketing
This document discusses the film distribution process. It explains that a film distributor chooses which films to distribute, decides on the number of film prints and marketing budget. The distributor negotiates the release date and theaters, and pays for prints, advertising, and a percentage of ticket sales. They monitor the film's exhibition and can implement changes. The distributor also conducts advertising through various media and maintains the film's brand image. Film ideas are often pitched to studios with a simple high concept premise that can be easily marketed.
Film studio research
The document discusses independent film companies, conglomerate film companies, and three potential film studios - EON Productions, Universal Pictures, and Lionsgate Entertainment - for partnering to produce a spy/action fiction film and movie trailer. EON Productions would be a good fit since they produce James Bond films, but would require an additional deal with a distributor. Universal Pictures and Lionsgate are large conglomerates that handle both production and distribution, which would reduce costs. The movie trailer being produced would fit in the marketing stage of the film life cycle.
Distribution Media Studies
Lionsgate would be the best distribution company for the filmmaker's thriller film aimed at teenagers. Lionsgate specializes in distributing similar thriller and teen-focused films like The Hunger Games and Twilight franchises. They have experience marketing to the target teenage audience. While Paramount distributes some thrillers, they focus more on big budget blockbusters and look for well-known directors and actors. Lionsgate would be more open to distributing an independent thriller. If a distribution deal cannot be secured, self-distributing to film festivals could generate buzz but success is unlikely as most festival films do not find audiences and the festivals do not target the film's intended teenage demographic.

Filmmaking - 180 degree rule
The 180-degree rule is a filmmaking guideline that establishes an imaginary line, or axis, between characters or objects in a scene. By keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot, the spatial relationship between the characters or objects remains consistent, with one always being framed to the right of the other. Crossing this axis line with the camera is called "jumping the line" and should generally be avoided.

Reasearch into distribution companies
Distribution companies are responsible for marketing and distributing films. They work to get films viewed by audiences through theatrical releases and other commercial rights like DVDs and television. Blockbuster distribution companies mainly handle large franchise films from major studios like Disney, Warner Bros., and Universal. Independent distribution companies focus on smaller, non-blockbuster films and work with independent producers and studios. Vertical Entertainment and Blumhouse Productions would be good fits to distribute an independent product as they have experience with similar films in the past.

A production company provides funding for movies through various means like parent companies or private investors. They are responsible for scripting, production, distribution, and marketing of films. A film distributor's job is to market films by setting release dates and determining how films can be viewed. The document discusses choosing the film distributor Hammer Films for a horror film due to their experience distributing similar horror titles like "The Woman in Black" and "Let Me In." Early horror films where victims are trapped and killers remain mysterious were an influence on the document author's film.
Institutions
For an independent film production, the filmmakers would likely have difficulty finding a large established producer to take on the risks. However, if they could get the attention of major distributors like Universal or Paramount that have experience with thriller films, it would provide significant publicity and funding. These large distributors are reliable in marketing films and supporting them fully. They also inspire the director with their ability to produce high quality films through big budgets that hire top actors and include impressive scenes. The opening credits would highlight the production companies, actors, director, and distributor to make them known to the audience.

Choosing Time Warner could result in greater profits and distribution similar to successful films they have backed like The Dark Knight. While conglomerates may want creative control, the author believes reasonable discussions could limit their influence. Overall, the author feels a conglomerate is needed for the film's success.

Evaluation Post 3
A film production company would develop, produce, and finance a horror film. They are responsible for pre-production tasks like marketing, scripting, and casting, as well as the health and safety of actors. Dimension Films would be chosen to distribute the film because of their experience distributing notable horror films like Scream. They would effectively promote and advertise the film to attract a large audience. Funding would be sought from the National Lottery UK Film Council, which invests lottery funds each year to support struggling UK filmmakers who cannot afford production budgets.
Evaluation Activity 3
A production company would be the best media institution to distribute the film because it assists in all aspects of filmmaking including production, marketing, and exhibition. It finds directors, casts, handles budgets and scheduling. The distributor, generally an organization, is responsible for advertising the film to mass audiences by setting release dates and determining how viewers can watch - in theaters or on demand. For a low budget horror film, two independent UK companies that could distribute it are Film 4 and Bedlam Productions, while Universal Studios would be less likely due to being a large non-independent American studio.
