- 9. DISTRIBUTION Now you enterthe distribution phase. This is usually done through distribution companies. These companies help you through film festivals, DVD sales or anything you want to put your film on. The main role of a distributer is to get as many people to view the film as possible, so its good for a film to have more the one distributer to achieve its maximum reach. Distributers look for new films and seek new medias to push out to its audience
- 10. WHO WOULD DISTRIBUTEMY FILM? PARAMOUNT
- 11. PARAMOUNT Paramount distribute manygenres of film. One series they distribute is ‘Paranormal Activity’. This ties in with the genre of my film (horror/thriller). My film is low budget however, and as Paramount regularly do only one-country releases, my film could be only distributed in the UK. Unfortunately though, Paramount don’t really release independent horror/thriller films and so I believe they would not be interested in the distribution of my film.
- 12. WHO WOULD DISTRIBUTEMY FILM? FILM 4
- 13. FILM 4 Film 4heavily distribute to the UK which is great for my low-budget film. In addition, Film 4 distribute many different genres; some including thrillers and horrors. As well as distributing to the UK, they sometimes distribute films worldwide such as The Inbetweeners 2. Film 4 would want to distribute my film because its similar to what they’ve distributed before with the thriller and scary conventions but has a different narrative.
- 14. BEING DISTRIBUTED BYFILM? Film 4 are very reputable in the film industry as they have distributed many successful films. This is important for me as I want my film to be distributed by a well-known, reputable distributer so that it has a good impression on audiences when they see it is distributed by Film 4. Film 4 have distributed films like ‘The Inbetweeners’ which has the exact target audience, of 15-24 year old males, as my film. This means that Film 4 are comfortable about distributing films aimed at this demographic. However, my film is a risk for Film 4 as it is low-budget meaning that it will be difficult to raise awareness of the film and to gain a profit. However, if Film 4 enjoyed and were confident in the film, then this wouldn’t be an issue.
- 15. ADVERTISEMENT OF MYFILM My film could be advertised in many different ways, such as on the side of buses or on billboards. Here are some examples of different ways my film could be physically advertised:
- 19. ONLINE ADVERTISEMENT The internetis a very big part of our lives; nearly everything we do involves it somehow… this includes film advertising. A good example of online advertisement is with YouTube. On YouTube, advertisers can promote on videos that only people with certain interests would watch. My film, Missed Call, could do this too. In addition, if the film was put onto Netflix, it could be shown in the ‘recommended’ list drawing more attention to people who may be interested in it.
- 22. DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS Video streamingis one of the most popular features on the modern web – many distributers are taking advantage of this fact. Instead of going out and buying a DVD, most people would prefer to buy/watch the film online. This means that my film would probably be successful on internet streaming sites such as Netflix or Amazon Video. In addition, YouTube is one of the biggest websites on the internet. If, perhaps, a trailer were to become viral, it is great advertising for the film. With an aim to get the most amount of people as possible to see the film, my film could be distributed to cinemas and film festivals.
