2. DISTRIBUTING AND PRODUCTION
COMPANIES
Here is our distributing company.
We chose a crosshairs symbol to
link to the genre of the kind of
films we would like to distribute.
The combination of black and
white with red writing is simple,
yet eye-catching and stands out to
the audience. Each of our colours
symbolise something about out our
film: white and black represents
the fixed views people have on
society: red represents the colour
of danger and alarm.

3. INSPIRATION FOR OUR
DISTRIBUTION COMPANY IDENT
Before creating our distributing company we researched companies
that work with films that have the same genre as us. We found a few
independent and mainstream distributing idents and took ideas from
there’s to create ours. The two main companies that inspired us were
Open Road Films and Universal.

4. INSPIRATION FOR OUR
DISTRIBUTION COMPANY
Two other distributing company that we found were Starz Home
Entertainment (also known as Anchor Bay Entertainment) and Studio
Canal UK (previously known as Optimum Releasing).
These two companies helped inspire our distributions company as
they are both independent studios that distribute low budget films.
For example:
Starz Home Entertainment – The Girl Next Door (2007), The Watcher
in the Woods and The Devil and Max Devlin.
Studio Canal UK – Dead Man’s Shoes, Kill List and The Guard.
These are the kinds of films we would distribute if we were a real
company as they are mostly low budget films.

5. PREMIERE AND RELEASE
Our official premiere is on February 1st, 2016 at an arthouse theatre
called The Screen in Angel.
As this is our first production and it is an independent film, we are
not premiering at a well known theatre.
However, we hope that from our premiere we can generate a wider
fan base and audience interest, thus allowing us to have another
premiere at a more prestigious theatre.

6. DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION
Grey Area is accessible on Vimeo as we had a digital release.
Our digital distribution takes place on various different social
platforms e.g. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
As these social media platforms are highly popular in today’s society,
they will help us reach our target audience much faster and raise
awareness of our film to a wider audience.
We rely heavily on these platforms as we cannot afford to have
billboards and trailers to advertise our title film everywhere.

7. DVD RELEASE
We plan to release our film on DVD on Monday 4th of April.
We believe that this is a sufficient amount of time between our
premiere for us to have generate a greater fan base and hopefully
improve DVD sells.
Two films that have inspired the
layout for our DVD cover are A Walk
Among the Tombstones and Dead
Man’s Shoes. The idea of having our
main character in the centre is
appealing to us as it simple but
powerful and links to the theme of
our protagonist being ‘alone’ when
he is a murder suspect.
The plan for our DVD cover is to have our main
character in the centre and then silhouettes of
grey figures behind to symbolise the memories
that he has lost.

8. MARKETING CAMPAIGN

various social media platforms:
