media institution and why it would distribute our media?

1. media institution and
why it would
distribute our media
daisy steel

2. our film and production company
our film the searchers is a physiological thriller.
meaning we decided to have the production
company siminous pictures. due to this
meaning distorted or bent we decided this
works well for us as we want to distribute dark
, physiological films. siminous pictures is a
mainstream distributors therefore having a high
budget to spend.

3. what is distribution?
-a distribution company sends your film into the media industry and world for an
audience to watch.
-they organise the circulation of films for home viewing such as dvds and on
demand
-they decided where and when the film will be shown . along with promoting the
film to create awareness and attention towards it.
- the film gets previewed to potential buyers like cinema companys to which it is
sent to them shortly before the viewing. after it gets sent back with an agreed
payment.l

4. film distributors
our films genre is a psychological thriller meaning there is a certain target
market for our type of film.
rouge- this is a smaller company selling only 20-30 films though they have only
been thrillers and horrors meaning they will expertise in our genre of film having
the best knowledge of how and who to advertise to. i know these due to them
distributing , the strangers and the unborn which have both been successful.
new line cinema- they would be great to distribute our film as they have
distributed films with profits of £300 million such as lord of the rings. the high
profile of them means they would be able to create lots of attention and
awareness for our film making it very successful like they did when they
distributed se7en

5. self distribution
we personally would want to opt for a distributor rather than a self distributor
due to the high budget in our film we would want to earn the money back
ourselves. though there is positives to self distribution such as the fact you
remain full control over your film and own all rights, you also get a higher profit
due to not having to cut any distributors in along with finally being able to
choose yourself when is shown. though there is downsides to this aswell the
fact you shall not make as much of a profit then if you chose a distributor.you
have to be knowledgeable in what you are doing as you may fill legal
documents yourself it is also very time consuming due to the fact you have to
contact any sellers or fill any paper work

6. appeal to a uk/ international audience
due to our films genre it can appeal to a uk or american
audience. this is mainly because of the language barrier
along with the uk and usa sharing similar culture. we also
are using a mainstream company meaning we have funds
to distribute this in the uk as well as america or even
internationally.

7. possible marketing strategies
radio/ television interviews- with cast on well known televisions shows like jonathan ross for the uk
or the ellen show for america/ the radio interviews could be like radio one or heart as this will have a
larger audience.
billboards- billboards in large cities or motorways were lots of people are passing. due to the cars
also having backseat riders it will create more interest than just the person driving.
tv trailers- adverts could be done throughout the day though due to our film being a psychological
thriller i think it is most appropriate to air at around 8:30 pm onwards as there will be an older audience
as well as teenagers as they are our main target audience
premier- due to us having a high budget we will want a premier to our film hosted in london as it is a
uk film. the cast along with well known figures will be invited to created a buzz and excitement around
our film.
