The document discusses distribution strategies for a student film. It defines distribution as how a film is marketed and made available to audiences. It notes that bigger distribution companies include 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros, while smaller independent companies that might be suitable include Metrodome and Independent Distribution. The student's film is a drama/comedy, so Metrodome would likely be interested since they deal with similar genres. The film could have wider appeal beyond the UK since it has American teen drama themes but British features that would seem out of place in America. Marketing strategies proposed include a summer release date, trailers, posters, TV ads, possible promotion from Coca-Cola, interviews, premieres, and social media.

task 3
This document discusses film distribution and provides examples of distribution companies. It defines distribution as making a film available for audiences and generating awareness through marketing. It describes 20th Century Fox and Lions Gate Entertainment as major distributors, with 20th Century Fox distributing big blockbusters and Lions Gate focusing more on independent films. The document proposes Lions Gate as the best choice to distribute the author's psychological thriller film targeting UK audiences, since Lions Gate has experience with similar lower-budget British films. Suggested marketing strategies include billboards, buses, social media, and TV ads on specific channels to reach the target audience.
Task 3
This document discusses distribution and marketing strategies for a psychological thriller film set in London. It defines distribution as making a film available for audiences and generating buzz through promotion. It notes that Lions Gate Entertainment would be a good independent distributor as it has successfully distributed similar films. The film would likely appeal most to UK audiences given its British setting and characters, but possibly also others interested in British culture. Suggested marketing strategies include ads on buses, trains, bus stops, billboards, social media, TV, and trailers in cinemas showing similar genres.
Presentation2
Film distribution is the process of making a movie available to an audience. A distributor decides which elements will attract an audience, what type of audience it will appeal to, and how to maximize the number of viewers. Major distributors include 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate, and Paramount Pictures UK, while independent options are Altitude Film Distribution, Metrodome Distribution Group, and Network Releasing. Our film would likely be distributed by Warner Bros., part of one of the "Big Six" major studios, due to its similarities to films like Inception. It will primarily appeal to a British audience given its language, storyline about a married businessman who suffered abuse, and characters.
Institution and Audience
This document discusses key aspects of targeting an audience for a media product, specifically an independent film opening title sequence about a boy joining the army. It identifies the independent film company Oscilloscope Laboratories and their documentary "Combat Obscura" as a comparable work. The target audience is identified as 18+ based on the subject matter, especially those living in army towns in the UK. Relevant hobbies, interests and jobs would include those connected to the military. The budget would be low as an independent documentary.
Question 3
The document discusses choosing a film distributor to market and release a new action/thriller film. It recommends selecting a large distributor like Universal Pictures that has experience distributing similar genre films. Alternatively, it suggests Paramount Vantage could distribute the film, as they have experience with smaller, independent action and crime films. The target audience is males and females under 35, so the film would be released in multiplex cinemas and advertised during other movies to reach mainstream viewers who watch films both in theaters and online.
Question 3
Vertigo Films would be a suitable media institution to distribute the film. Vertigo is an independent British film company that specializes in low-budget films, a good fit for the film. Vertigo has a history of distributing films across genres, including those appealing to niche audiences, and has distributed over 60 films. Their willingness to take risks on original films with new directors makes them a good option, even if the film's subject matter is unconventional. Vertigo also seems open to expanding their audience by distributing films featuring female protagonists and empowerment themes.

The document discusses options for distributing a new psychological thriller film called "Subjected". It notes that similar films like "Se7en" were distributed by New Line Cinema. Due to its similarities in theme and genre, the author believes "Subjected" would be best distributed by an independent film distributor like New Line Cinema that specializes in thriller and horror films. Self-distribution is also considered but deemed challenging due to lack of marketing resources and name recognition compared to major studios. The target audience is identified as UK audiences ages 15-30 of any gender due to the film's psychological themes being less common in Hollywood.
Evaluation question 3
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute the film. It analyzes three potential distributors: Columbia Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Film 4. Columbia Pictures and 20th Century Fox are suggested because they have distributed similar genre films in the past, including horror and thriller titles. Film 4 is also proposed because while it distributes a variety of genres, it focuses on independent films, and the narrator's film has elements of an independent film by challenging conventions. In the end, any of these three distributors could potentially help the film reach audiences in theaters, on television, and other platforms.

In the end, any of these three distributors could potentially help the film reach audiences in theaters, on television, and other platforms.
Question Three
A film distributor would be well-suited to distribute a young media product because its role is to market and exhibit films. Specifically, a distributor determines a film's release date and viewing method, whether theatrical or home viewing. Sony Pictures would be a good choice given their experience distributing major romantic comedies globally as the third largest distributor in that genre. Alternatively, Working Title could be used for its production of quaint British romantic comedies, and it is owned by Universal Pictures which has its own distribution networks for a wide audience.
Question 3.
Metrodome would be the most suitable media institution to distribute the film One English Pound. One English Pound would be a low-budget British film with British actors telling the story of how ordinary people can fall into traps like alcoholism and prostitution, and how to prevent or reduce these issues. Metrodome has experience distributing similar films that follow characters through difficult life experiences and showing how they improve their lives. They also have a budget that would work for One English Pound, which does not require special effects, big-name actors, or expensive equipment.
Women's Bane Distribution PowerPoint
Lionsgate would be a suitable distributor for the film "Women's Bane" for several reasons:
1) Lionsgate has successfully distributed similar thriller/horror genre films on budgets ranging from $1.2 million to $30 million.
2) At a budget of $40 million, Lionsgate would be able to finance "Women's Bane" whereas an independent distributor could not.
3) Lionsgate has had blockbuster successes with R-rated thriller films like the "Saw" series and "American Psycho" that share similarities to "Women's Bane," suggesting they could successfully distribute this film as well.
Media
Our film would be best distributed by an independent film company, as it is a crime drama genre film targeted at a niche audience interested in that genre. Independent films like Fargo that appealed to crime drama fans were able to profit despite a smaller audience. Larger distribution companies like Paramount Pictures also distribute crime drama films, and would be a good fit for our UK-based crime drama film as they have a UK distribution arm and appeal to younger audiences with films like crime dramas and Jack Reacher.
Media distribution
The document discusses distributing a new psychological thriller film called "The Searchers". It considers several potential film distribution companies to partner with, including Rogue Pictures and New Line Cinema. Rogue specializes in thriller and horror films while New Line has had huge successes distributing films like Lord of the Rings. Self-distribution is also discussed but is not preferred due to the high budget of the film and desire to earn profits. The filmmakers believe the film could appeal to audiences in the UK and US due to similar cultures and language. Potential marketing strategies mentioned include television and radio interviews, billboards, TV trailers, and a London premiere.
Evaluation: Question 3
New Line Cinema would be an ideal distributor for the film "Write of Passage" for several reasons:
1) New Line Cinema specializes in distributing mystery thriller films similar to the genre of "Write of Passage", which follows a teenage girl with split personality disorder who commits murders.
2) As a major film studio and distribution company founded in 1967, New Line Cinema has the resources and experience to finance, market, and promote the film through theatrical release and home viewing platforms.
3) New Line Cinema has previously distributed several highly successful mystery thriller films including the "Seven", "The Conjuring", and "Final Destination" franchises that would appeal to the same target audience as "Write
Eval task 3
StudioCanal would be a good production company for the film based on similarities to Catch Me Daddy. StudioCanal produces a variety of films from big budget comedies like Shaun of the Dead to low budget British dramas like Catch Me Daddy. Catch Me Daddy was similarly low budget, socially realistic, and was successfully marketed and distributed through film festivals. Other options like Vertigo and Altitude could also work but StudioCanal is best suited due to previous similar films and Catch Me Daddy's success.
Distribution
Distribution involves sharing a product with large audiences through various media channels. For a movie, a film studio is needed for distribution. There are six major film studios called the "Big Six" that are very successful - Disney, Paramount, Columbia, 20th Century Fox, Universal, and Warner Bros. Columbia Pictures would be the best choice to distribute the author's movie, a drug-focused action thriller. While Disney and 20th Century Fox focus on family-friendly films and avoid controversial topics, Universal and Warner Bros. also distribute more adult-oriented movies involving drugs, violence and strong language. Columbia has a history of distributing similar R-rated thriller franchises like James Bond.
Question 3
ODEON Cinema would be the most suitable cinema to distribute the filmmakers' thriller "The Unseeable" for several reasons:
1) ODEON mainly shows thrillers and films with a 15+ age rating that would appeal to the film's target teenage audience.
2) ODEON's lower ticket prices relative to independent cinemas like Cinema City make it more appealing to the film's target demographic of students.
3) Cinema City shows more art house and indie films that don't fit the big budget thriller genre or trendy nature of "The Unseeable".
Evaluation question 3
Kaleidoscope Film Distribution in London distributes documentaries and special events films but may not be suitable for a psychological thriller. New Line Cinema distributes thrillers like Se7en but also produces comedies and action films which don't match the genre. Newmarket Films mainly distributes drama films and has experience with that genre, making them a better potential distributor for a psychological thriller than companies that don't focus on dramas.
Task 3 - Distribution
The document discusses film distribution strategies. It defines distribution as sharing a film with an audience through a distributor. For their thriller film, they identify that Metrodome, a UK-based independent distributor, would be a good fit as the audience would be local and Metrodome could advertise and ship the film to British cinemas. Self-distribution is also considered but has disadvantages like being time-consuming and potentially limiting sales options without established buyer relationships.
Task 3
This document discusses potential film distributors for a media product and why. It states that smaller British distributors can only distribute through online platforms like YouTube and websites, while films are initially shown in cinemas and later released on DVD and Blu-Ray. Paramount is mentioned as a possible major distributor since they have distributed similar films in the past. Distributing with Paramount would appeal to a wider global audience. Self-distribution is also discussed as an option that maintains full control but is very time-consuming without the relationships of a major distributor.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Lionsgate would be the best distribution company for the filmmaker's psychological thriller "The Final Chapter". Lionsgate specializes in distributing thriller and horror films, like the similar film "Gone Girl". As an independent film distributor, Lionsgate would partner with the filmmaker and be easier to negotiate with than a large conglomerate. The filmmaker would also have more input into how their film is distributed. Lionsgate is well established, reliable, and has a history of successfully distributing films that go on to be box office hits. As a major independent film company, Lionsgate could also distribute "The Final Chapter" internationally.
Media
The document discusses what type of media institution might distribute a low-budget independent film called "Hanger Hill". It would likely be distributed by an independent filmmaker or company due to its small budget. Independent films do not have large budgets for actors, locations, marketing or trailers. They use social media and posters for promotion. An example of a production company suited for this type of film is The Asylum, an American independent studio that produces low-budget, direct-to-video films using titles and scripts similar to blockbusters.
Evaluation 3 finished
- A large distribution company like Warner Bros would be best for distributing our crime/drama film since it has a mainstream audience. Warner Bros has successfully distributed films like Goodfellas and Once Upon a Time in America that we want to emulate.
- Releasing the film in multiplex cinemas would generate more revenue than art house cinemas since it would reach a wider mainstream audience. Our target audience of ages 35+ of both genders would be more likely to watch it in popular cinemas.
- Advertising should target our 35+ audience through billboards, screens in busy areas like Piccadilly Circus, and newspapers since those are mediums they are more likely to engage with compared
Evaluation Question 3
Warner Brothers would be an ideal distributor for the film because it is a fully integrated global entertainment company that distributes films across theaters, home video, and digital platforms. Warner Brothers has a long history of distributing superhero films like Batman, about a billionaire who takes on the identity of a masked vigilante to save his city from evil forces, which is similar in theme and genre to the film about a boy who was abducted and fights his way to escape.
Evaluation- Question 3
The document discusses potential film distribution options for the film "Fix Me". It considers both major film distribution companies like Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. that have large budgets and target wide audiences, as well as smaller independent British companies like Hammer Films that have lower budgets but still find success. The document concludes that an independent British company would be best suited to distribute "Fix Me" as the film has a smaller budget and is set in everyday British teen life, targeting a British teenage audience. Internet distribution is also discussed as a good option, citing the example of Ill Manors that built attention on social media and through limited cinema releases before being released on Netflix.
Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses potential film distribution options for the film "Fix Me". It considers both major Hollywood distribution companies like Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. that could widely distribute the film due to their marketing resources and experience with similar supernatural genres. It also discusses smaller, independent British distributors like Hammer Films that may be better suited due to a focus on similar film genres and a potentially better understanding of the British teenage target audience. Ultimately, the document concludes that an independent distributor coupled with online and social media marketing followed by a limited cinema release and availability on streaming platforms like Netflix would be the best strategy to effectively distribute the film.
Institutional research
This document discusses research into film companies and their horror films. It focuses on 20th Century Fox, Hammer Films, and certification ratings. 20th Century Fox is a major Hollywood studio known for franchises like Star Wars but also distributed some horror films. Hammer Films was a UK company famous for Gothic horror films in the 1960s. Certification ratings aim to classify films by age groups to target appropriate audiences. The document also provides details about the production, distribution, credits and release date that would be researched for a hypothetical horror film called "The Black Forest."
Evaluation question 3
Revolver Entertainment and Momentum Pictures are suggested as appropriate UK-based independent film distribution companies to distribute the film. Revolver Entertainment has experience distributing thriller films including horror thrillers like House of Last Things. Momentum Pictures previously distributed major horror titles before being acquired but is looking to rebuild recognition. Working with these London-based companies would allow for easier communication and initial UK-only release to gauge critic reception before pursuing worldwide distribution.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media products and why?
The document discusses film distribution and which media institutions might distribute a horror media production. It analyzes the distributors of films like Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, and Insidious - mainly American companies like Paramount Pictures and Orion Pictures. It also looks at British distributors like Artificial Eye, Entertainment, and Lionsgate UK, concluding that Lionsgate UK would be the best choice as it specializes in horror films. Distributing the media production first in movie theaters would generate publicity and interest before releasing it on DVD, online, and television.
Media Studies Evaluation 3
The student analyzed potential media institutions to distribute their post-apocalyptic film. Major studios like Warner Bros and Lionsgate were deemed unsuitable due to the film's low budget and lack of famous actors. Independent British film companies like DNA Films and Palace Pictures would be more interested since they distribute similar genre films set in Britain. The student also proposed advertising the film at small UK film festivals focused on new British directors, such as the British Independent Film Festival, rather than large cinema chains that prioritize blockbuster films.

This document discusses film distribution and strategies for the psychological thriller film "Hollow End". It outlines that distribution companies fund and distribute films through various means like physical copies and streaming. For "Hollow End", Warner Bros. could be the distributor as they have distributed similar dark films in the past. The target audience is expected to be primarily UK audiences ages 15-30 of any gender, as the film may appeal less to younger viewers or mainstream Hollywood audiences. Marketing strategies to reach this audience would include ads and a strong social media presence. Self-distributing the film could prove challenging without the trust and resources of a major studio.

This document discusses film distribution options for a low-budget British horror film. It suggests that Soda Pictures, a UK film distribution company known for low-budget films, may be interested in distributing the film. Soda previously distributed the horror film "Only Lovers Left Alive," so they could appeal to the same audience. The film may also have wider international appeal beyond the UK because horror films have large global fan bases, and casting solely British actors makes it unique compared to American horror films. Marketing strategies discussed include releasing the film a few months after major blockbusters to take advantage of less competition. Self-distribution is also mentioned as an option.

Twentieth Century Fox would be the ideal media institution to distribute our psychological thriller film. As a major Hollywood studio, Twentieth Century Fox has worldwide reach and experience distributing a wide variety of thriller genres.

As a major Hollywood studio, Twentieth Century Fox has worldwide reach and experience distributing a wide variety of thriller genres. They are lacking in psychological thrillers, so our film could expand their catalog. Alternatively, their indie division Fox Searchlight Pictures specializes in independent and British films like ours and would provide access to both UK and international audiences.
Task 3
Our film would be best distributed by Twentieth Century Fox, a major American production and distribution company known for thriller films like Star Wars, Alien, and Die Hard. As a large international company, Twentieth Century Fox could distribute our film worldwide to both American and UK audiences. Even if our film does not fit with their main productions, their subsidiary Fox Searchlight Pictures focuses on independent and British films like ours. Distributing with Twentieth Century Fox would help expand their thriller catalog and reach a wider audience for our film.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The document discusses film distribution and different film distribution companies. It examines the distributors of the films "Psycho," "Silence of the Lambs," and "Insidious" - Paramount Pictures, Orion Pictures, and FilmDistrict respectively. The document also discusses several British film distributors like Artificial Eye, Entertainment, and Lionsgate UK. It recommends that for a small, independent British film, Lionsgate UK would be the best distributor as they specialize in horror films similar to the proposed media product.
3 Which Media Institute would distribute your product and why?
Our independent British film "Obsession" would likely be distributed by Working Title, a major British production company known for films appealing to both British and wider audiences. Alternatively, ScreenGems or Rainforest Films could distribute to reach broader audiences. Working Title has successfully distributed films with similar themes of relationships and emotions, while ScreenGems and Rainforest Films focus on genres aligned with our film and target audiences that could connect with its cast and themes. As an independent film, our lower budget also means lower risk if the film does not perform as well as hoped.
Evaluation question three
This document discusses potential distributors for an independent horror film made on a low budget with local actors. It analyzes how two potential distributors, StudioCanalUK and Lions Gate Entertainment, would be suitable options. StudioCanalUK releases many independent British films and has distributed similar horror films. Lions Gate Entertainment is a successful North American independent film company that has distributed a wide variety of genres, including horror films. Both companies' experience with independent and genre films could help distribute and promote the film.
AS Media Studies: Evaluation Question 3
Patchwork Productions would be the most likely to distribute the student's film. It is a small, independent UK film company that produces low-budget thriller films and uses innovative distribution strategies. Unlike larger companies like Warner Bros. and Paramount, Patchwork would be open to distributing an amateur, student film project. Coffee Films could also be a possibility as it focuses on internet distribution that would reach the student's target audience. However, companies like Pixar and Warner Bros that produce major blockbuster films would have no interest in a low-budget, non-professional student film.
Institutional research
Warner Bros. and Arrow Films are film distributors that target different types of audiences depending on the genre and budget of the films. Warner Bros. is a major studio that distributes big-budget blockbusters like Gravity and The Conjuring, so they would not be interested in distributing the author's low-budget amateur film. Arrow Films is an independent UK distributor that focuses on classic, horror, and cult films similar in scale to the author's low-budget horror film, so they could potentially be interested in distributing it.
AS MEDIA - Q3
An independent distributor like Vertigo would be best suited to distribute the filmmaker's low-budget horror film. Independent distributors specialize in lower budget films and Vertigo, based in the UK, has experience distributing similar independent horror films as well as representing films at festivals and marketing them to various outlets. Mainstream distributors like Disney and Warner Bros are better suited for larger productions.
Film distribution
Film distribution involves marketing and releasing films to audiences. Distributors control how films are advertised and sold through trailers, merchandise, and social media. They focus on theatrical release, home media release, and building the film's brand identity. Major distributors like Universal, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros., Columbia Pictures, and Lionsgate distribute blockbuster franchises globally. How a film is distributed can significantly impact its box office performance. Self-distribution allows retaining full ownership but requires extensive marketing work, while distributors have existing relationships but take a share of profits.
Task 3
Our film would be most likely to interest smaller British distribution companies like Curzon Artificial Eye, as major studios tend to focus on blockbusters and not independent films. Curzon Artificial Eye specializes in distributing British films and films with horror and thriller elements like ours.
The film would appeal to UK audiences because of its British cast and UK setting, and also to international audiences given the global popularity of the psychological thriller genre.
Some marketing strategies could include creating social media pages, a film trailer, and submitting the film to film festivals like the Edinburgh International Film Festival to generate interest. The film would be well suited to a Halloween release period alongside other horror films.
Question 3
- Warp Films would be a good choice to distribute my low-budget film because they specialize in independently funding smaller, culturally relevant films.
- Their successful distribution of the low-budget horror film "28 Days Later" shows they are open to films with compelling stories and characters, even on a small scale, similar to my own film.
- My target audience of 18-25 year old males is quite niche, making a smaller production company a better fit than a large one focused on mass appeal.
Evaluation 3 (updated)
This document discusses distributing the action film "Lethal Secret" and marketing strategies. It recommends distributing the film through 20th Century Fox, one of the major Hollywood studios, because they specialize in distributing mainstream action films similar to "Lethal Secret". Marketing would involve television advertisements during prime time on ITV to reach a wide audience, as well as promotions on Facebook which is commonly used by the target demographic. The goal is to get the wide release needed for a big budget action film through an established major distributor and broad marketing campaigns.
Question 3
Paramount is a major film distribution company that could help distribute the film "Bang Bang You're Dead" as it fits with the genres they commonly release, such as thrillers. If Paramount took on distribution, the film could be shown in major cinema chains worldwide. Self-distribution is also an option, using social media and word-of-mouth to promote the film and exhibit it on Our Screen. Distribution partners for "Bang Bang You're Dead" included Showtime Networks, video distributors in countries like Argentina and Brazil, and Paramount for home video releases.
Evaluation question 3
The document discusses the roles of production companies and film distributors. It notes that production companies are responsible for creating the film, handling budgets and scheduling, and finding actors and directors. Distributors promote and distribute completed films by determining how many copies to make and previewing films for buyers like cinema owners. The document then analyzes why major Hollywood studios like 20th Century Fox and Paramount would not be suitable to distribute a low-budget British production. It recommends that Film4 and Working Title would be better choices as distributors since they support lower-budget independent and British films.
Evaluation 3
The document discusses potential film studios to distribute the filmmaker's sci-fi/teen drama film. 20th Century Fox, Working Title, Universal Pictures, and Paramount are identified as options based on their experience with sci-fi and teen drama genres. Working Title is highlighted as a good choice as a British company that would be more likely to distribute a British film. The document also provides suggestions for getting the attention of the chosen studio, including using social media marketing, film festivals, and positive reviews.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Evaluation task 3
- 2. WHAT IS DISTRIBUTION? Distribution is how a company tries to market a film and how it is made available to an audience.
- 3. EXAMPLES OF DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES Bigger distribution companies include companies such as 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. Smaller, independent distribution companies include Metrodome and Independent Distribution.
- 4. THINK ABOUT THE SORT OF FILM YOU HAVE PRODUCED. COMPARE THIS TO THE TYPE OF FILMS THE DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES HAVE RELEASED BEFORE – ARE ANY OF THEM LIKELY TO BE INTERESTED IN YOUR FILM? EXPLAIN WHY . I think that Metrodome would be the most likely company to distribute our film as they seem to deal mostly with dramas and drama-like genres. Since our film is a drama/comedy I think it would be appropriate to be distributed by Metrodome.
- 5. IS YOUR FILM GOING TO APPEAL TO UK AUDIENCES ONLY? OR DOES IT HAVE A WIDER APPEAL? WHY? WHY NOT? I think our film has a chance to have a wider appeal as it has the theme of a American teen drama but it would have British features which would seem out of place in America.
- 6. SOME THOUGHT ABOUT POSSIBLE MARKETING STRATEGIES, RELEASE STRATEGIES AND EXHIBITION OPTIONS • Release date – Summer • Marketing materials – Trailers, Posters, and TV adverts • Promotion from Coca-Cola if possible (most relatable product) • Public Relations – Interviews and Premieres • Use of social media – Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube
