This document discusses potential distribution options for the film "Eye For an Eye". It argues that Hollywood studios would be the best option as the film has elements typical of classic noir films produced by Hollywood like dramatic storylines and talented actors. Releasing through a major studio would provide a bigger budget and help build a larger fanbase and potential franchise. Television would also be a good option as it reaches a wide audience, though some channels would not be suitable due to the film's mature content. Universal Pictures is proposed as the distributor as it is a large, trusted company. The film also offers opportunities for popular merchandise like t-shirts and items featuring the main character to help build the franchise.

2. Would this be something which
could be produced by a
Hollywood studio ?
We think our film will be a successful Hollywood film because it has a dramatic Noir
storyline and isn't a typical Noir.we have developed our film from the Noir Genre and
films that were released in holly wood and were produced by a holly wood studio, for
example
• La Confidential
• Taxi Driver
• Se7en
Having our film produced in a Hollywood studio will develop our film into more of a
bigger production it will give our film more of a opportunity to have a bigger budget and
develop a bigger fan base and franchise. We think our film will be appealing to
Hollywood Studios because;
• British accents
• Black and white movie
• Talented actors

3. Would it be an internet only
release?
We do not think that our film would be suitable as an
internet only release, this is because it is aimed at a
wide audience of people over the age of eighteen. If
this film was released only on the internet, not as
much money would be made because not everyone
likes to use the internet to buy things, though some
people find it too much trouble to go to a shop and
buy films. So we think that the film could be released
on the internet as well as sold in shops, so everyone
has the choice of where to buy it and watch it.

4. Would it be a TV Movie?
We think that if our film was produced it would be successful a TV Movie
because a the audience is larger for TV. Our film would be showed on
mainstream channels but also on Crime channels to reach our target
audience. The crime channels that will show our movie will be:
• CI
• Fox Crime
• FX
We have chosen these channels because the genre is crime which fits well
with our film. The channels that we wouldn't have our film shown is a channel
that has a under 18 target audience. Because our film has violence and strong
language it would’t be suitable for a younger audience, also smoking is a
convention in Noir and our characters wouldn't’t be setting a good example for
a younger audience. Specific channels would be;
• Disney Channel
• MTV
• Nick

5. Why would it released? Does it offer
opportunities for franchises of
merchandise?
Our film will be distributed by Universal Pictures
because they have the highest films released one year
and its a popular and trusted distributor. Our BBFC
certificate will be 18 because our film contains violence
and strong language. Also the Noir genre is mainly
aimed at a older audience.
Our film will have brilliant merchandise, we will have a
men and women section and we will sell T Shirts, Ties,
pen and pencil sets and the black dress that Susan
wears this will be a sell out because Susan is our main
character which will draw women into our franchise.
Having T Shirts in our merchandise is proven to be a
sell out. Taking information from Twilight Saga's who
have really popular T Shirts. Having Team Shirts like
Team Clouse, Team Brown, Team Susan makes our

6. Our film is being released as a British Hollywood film, we think that this is the
best option for our audience this is because our film, Eye For an Eye is a
typical film noir with settings in a side alley of a city like area, this is a main
convention and would be important to the audience as they would like to be
able to relate to the similar sort of environment. The expensive outfits that
Susan wears (fur coat, black dress, pearl necklaces) and what Claus wears
(detective suit) links in with the high budget of Hollywood movies. Many
Hollywood release film noirs include conventions such as low key lighting and
there is more than often several scenes within a police station, we followed this
convention when Susan is questioned, we included the low key lighting as well
to make the scene more dramatic.
