What is Distribution?

Distribution is where a company will either buy the rights for a film at film festivals or will make the films themselves. Once they own the films the next task the distribution companies will have to do is to market these films out, in the build up to the release of the film they distributers will have to find a target audience so they know the different marketing techniques they have to adopt in order to get more people to watch the film.

Examples of distribution companies

Think about the sort of film you have produced. Compare this to the type of films the distribution companies have released before – are any of them likely

to be interested in your film? Explain why.

• I believe our film would be distributed by a major company or a branch off of a major company because looking at films that are similar to our film such as The Talented Mr Ripley who was distributed by Miramax which is part of Walt Disney and Paramount also distributed the cinema and the DVD version.

Is your film going to appeal to UK audiences only? Or does it have a wider

appeal? Why? Why not?

• I think that our film, because it’s based in England may appeal to English film goers more but because the distribution companies who do take interest in these films such as Miramax are American therefore this may also appeal to American audiences.

Some thought about possible marketing strategies, release strategies and

exhibition options

• If we were to self-produce and distribute our film it would be beneficial because there are No ifs, and, or buts. our film will open on a specific date and will run for an entire 7-day week. Also there will be no complex distribution agreements to muddle through. No need for an expensive entertainment lawyer. We will recieve 100% of the box office income. But on the down side it will cost so much more to self produce and distribute the film. Or we could use a indipendant company to distribute our film because it will be cheap and we could advertise our film.
