1. My Film:
Consideringthat I have chosen to mix the sci-fi genre with teen
dramaI would gather that a studio with experience in both genres
would be morelikely to distribute my film.
These studios include:
20th Century Fox
20th Century Foxremains
as one of the largest
American film studios.
The studio has a vast
amountof experience
with a number of genres,
includingsci-fi and teen
drama. Examplesof these
films includeX-Men: First
Class, and the upcoming
teen dramaPaper Towns.
These genresall appealto
the oneschosen for my
film, making 20th Century
Fox a viable option.
Working Title
WorkingTitle is an
exampleof one of Britain’s
largest film distributers.
They have distributed
many genresof film
includingthe genre of my
film. Examples of films in
which they have
distributed includeThe
WorldsEnd and The
Theory of Everything. I
believe this studio would
be a great choice for my
film as they are a British
company and aremore
likely to distribute a British
film than an American
studio would.
2. Universal Pictures
Universal Pictures is an
American film company
that has created
hundredsof successful
films. The company has
had experiencein many
genres includingsci-fi
and teen drama,
developingfilmssuch as
Kick-Ass and Scott
Pilgrim V.S The World.
Dueto their broad mix
of genreswithin its
films, I think it would be
a good choice for my sci-
fi film.
Paramount
Paramountis oneof the
largest grossing film
studiosin America. They
have seen success over a
number of genres,
includingonesthat I have
selected, and are always
experimentingwith new
ideas. Successful
examplesof Paramount
films includeFerris
Bueller’sDay Off and Iron
Man. Dueto their
successfulmix of genres; I
believe that Paramount
would be a good choice
for my film.
How would I get the Company’s attention?
-Considering that my film is low budget, I should consider using free marketing
techniques (Twitter, Facebook).
-This low budget advertising can be used to create fan pages, upload trailers and keep
audiences informed about the film.
-I could send my film to a film festival for more attention and some feedback.
- I could use positive reviews in order to gain attention from studios, in order to help
them feel more comfortable investing in the film.
-I would choose Working Title as my studio for the film because of their success across
multiple genres and the studio is British means that my film would be more likely
distributed there instead of an American company.
