This document discusses potential film distribution companies for an action/adventure media product. Major studios like Universal, Paramount, and Sony would be suitable options as they are known for big budget action franchises. Minor studios like Lionsgate, Relativity Media, and Open Road Films would also be good choices as they regularly produce high quality action films with famous actors that draw large audiences. Television, online, and DVD distribution are also outlined as potential release pathways for the film after its cinema run.

4. Television
• After the films initial release in cinemas we would like it to be aired on television, this would also be
after the film had been released on DVD.
• Because this film will be rated a 12 at most we feel that the film would be suitable to aired on
television and watched by families.
• The film would most likely be shown on Film4 or BBC, as theses channels are well established and
attract large numbers of viewers, especially when a film is aired on their channels.

5. Web
• We have already uploaded the opening of our film to YouTube for audiences to watch, later we
would release a trailer as well that would be published on YouTube.
• A Twitter Page would also be created for the film in order to help with the publicity and marketing
of the film, attracting online audiences and widening the film to an online audience.
• Once the film has been released on DVD we would also allow it to be available on Netflix and Love
film and other instant movie streaming websites so audiences still have access to the film on a
number of electronic platforms.

6. DVD
• The film would be released onto DVD after its initial release in the cinema.
• We would follow this pattern of distribution as it is the method many action film production
companies choose to follow, therefore our audience will be more familiar with this way of
distribution.
• The film would come out on DVD after it had been screened in the cinema for around 3 months.
