2. Our film genre
To find a distributer for us we had to know what
genre our film would be.
As a group we decided our film genre will be teen
drama.
3. Looking at other films
Before we find a distributer we needed to know what our budget
would be if we made this film.
We researched on many teen movies like Goal, the perks of
being a wallflower, the hunger games and many more, these
films have been very successful in the box office. With research
we found out that the budget of these film ranged between £7
million to 70 million.
4. Films we looked at
Budget: $30 millionBudget: $13
million
$78 million
5. Our film budget
If our film would have been made our possible
budget could be £20 million, the reason why we
estimated a £20 million budget is because our
film relates to the movie goals because of the
similar narrative we though that is took them a
budget of £20 million then it could be the same
for us.
6. Distributer
With the possible budget we chose two that could
distribute our film one was Lionsgate and another
was Walt Disney studios motion pictures.
However we could only choose one so we chose
Lionsgate.
7. Lionsgate
We chose Lionsgate as they have distributed similar genre which is
related to our film genre which is teen drama.
With Lionsgate becoming our distributer we can get a larger financial
backing from Lionsgate, this could help us hire location, costume, mise-
on-scene and also the equipment, however not all the money would be
spent for making the movie, with Lionsgate backing we will be able to
market and promote our film, this could be guest appearance to TV
shows, ADS or making synergy with other companies for example
making merchandise, this could help Liongate as they will be able to
make more money from the merchandise and also we will able to get
larger audience.
8. Lionsgate
We know that Lionsgate is very successful in the industry this would benefit us
because Lionsgate would release our film to a global cinema, the reason why
they would release it globally is because of the recent success of teen movies
doing in the global market and have been getting positive rating from the box
office. If Lionsgate release the film in to a global cinema we will able to get a
international audience rather than a British audience.
general people who watch football as Football is really big in Europe and
because our film narrative is about football we will be able to get not just teen
audience but general audience that watch football making our fan audience much
bigger.
9. Cinema to Television
With Lionsgate they will be able to distribute our film from cinemas
to television, with research we found that Sky movies would be a
good choice as they show many blockbuster movies and millions
already view the channel. This would give us more reputation as a
production company and also we will get a newer audience.
10. Releasing it digitally
With web 2.0 being very popular Lionsgate can also distribute
our film to a On-demand internet streaming media company, with
research we found that Netflix could be good streaming media
company that could our film, the reason why we chose Netflix is
because Netflix is available to many platform, its available on
mobile phones, gaming consoles, laptops computers and also
on smart TVs, this allows our audience to see our film anywhere.
Netflix's is most of time used by the younger people and because
our film is a teen drama it would attract them to watch it.
11. Overall
Overall we chose Lionsgate as we will get a
international audience, large finical backing and
also distributing the film in a global scale.
