1. Code Red: Getting distributed.
Getting distributed as a small, very low budget movie was extremely
hard, but we managed to find a distribution company: Imagine
Studios, who agreed to distribute our movie opening even though it
wasn’t the best names or actors in the movie. Our search for a
distribution company was long, but we finally found one, and they
were extremely helpful in getting our movie a bit more know.
Obviously because the company isn't too well known either, our
movie wasn’t show in various locations but we managed to get it
shown in a cinema called green on the screen.
2. If we had a larger budget…
• If he had a larger budget we would’ve been
able to be working with some of the larger
distribution companies for example
Paramount pictures, the distributer for movies
like Shutter Island, The Devil Inside and Shrek.
3. The issue with Paramount pictures
• One of the problems with trying to get a
company like this to distribute your film, is the
fact that we didn’t have any actors that would the
appeal to them, and getting in contact with them
would be close to impossible for such a small
group of media students. For paramount pictures
their main interests are to distribute movies like
Shutter Island all the time, the best selling
suspense(Thriller) of 2010. Shutter Island helped
the suspense area make £42,441,123 in 2010.
Therefore trying to get a company like that to
distribute or movie would be extremely hard…
4. Reasons why a company like that would be a
good distributer for our thriller
• If we had a very well known distributer like paramount
pictures we would have been able to get our thriller shown in
many more locations and countries other than just the Green
Screen in Angel. It would allow us to have a much wider
audience. Also it would help us become more known so that if
we were to make the rest of the film and release it, we would
then hopefully have a worldwide audience that would know
about our film which would help our sales.
5. Getting Code Red Produced.
• Getting Code Red produced was a lot easier
than getting it distributed. As we are students
in CandI we had CandI Studios to produce our
film for us.
6. Why we didn’t have a big production company
• They are incredibly hard to get into contact
with, and they aren't likely to invest a lot of
money into such a low budget film being
scripted by media students.
7. Suitable production companies for my
thriller.
• Some companies that would be good for our
film would be paramount pictures, and
Columbia. This again because they were highly
involved in the making of Shutter Island which
has some similar suspense and thriller
features as our film.
