2. Paramount may be a good choice of a
possible distributer as they have distributed
similar media products such as Marvel films.
Therefore I think that Paramount would be
good because they promoted and distributed
for Marvel films which have similarities such as
the characters, genre and storyline of our film.
Therefore they have promoted and distributed
products like ours before so they have the
experience and capability to do it.
3. Paramount we also able to promote films
such as Star Trek into darkness and World
War Z which also belong to the Sci-Fi genre.
Therefore they have had success from
genres such as ours in the past.
Because they have worked with films like
our before they are more likely to
understand the influences behind the film
so they are less likely to want to change
parts of our film during the distribution.
4. However because Paramount is a
mainstream company it is likely that they
will want to make changes to the film as
they may think that the original idea needs
a little change in order to attract a wider
audience as mainstream companies are
less likely to distribute a film for a specific
niche audience as they normally go for
ideas that a wider audience would enjoy
to that they are able o make more sales.
5. Therefore an independent film studio such
as studio canal may be better at
distributing our film as they have a good
reputation for distributing Sci-Fi films. Also
independent studios are easier to get a
contract with as you as a producer are
paying to create the film that you have
written. This means that they can’t interfere
with the storyline of the film as it will be
already paid for to be made and it is your
own project.
6. Studio canal also have a base in England
as well as a few other countries such as
Australia so they would be easy to get to
and are able o distribute to a variety of
countries. Because they have a base in
England it would be easier to
communicate with the distributor so they’d
know exactly what we wanted from our
film.
7. However independent film studies are often a low
budget so they won’t be able to offer you a wide
range of things such as special effects which
would be needed for Yuri’s hands and also they
wouldn’t be able to distribute the product in as
many forms as a mainstream company e.g. a
mainstream company such as paramount would
be able to distribute their film IMAX cinemas as
well as normal cinemas they would also be able
to offer Blu-ray rather than just DVD’s so both
independent and mainstream distributers have
their positives and negatives.
