Distribution

Why did I choose my film institutions?

• We chose Film4 as our main film company as it has been responsible for the backing of a large number of other British films.

Why did I choose my film institutions?

• Our secondary film institute, ‘Hit and Run Productions’, has previously sponsored only a small number of films, including the British Sci-Fi thriller ‘Children of Men’.

Why would these companies distribute our thriller?

• ‘Hit and Run Productions’ is an independent film company which helps in distributing and backing low budget films.

• ‘Film4’ would back our production as well as it has previously distributed films produced by independent film companies. For example, Submarine, produced by the independently run Warp Films.

JLDZ Media• This is our made up

company.• It produced the film and

then went on to contact our chosen film companies, ‘Film4’ and ‘Hit and Run’ for help and funding.

• As we are being backed by these companies, they have a say in how our film is distributed, the more funding they put into it, the more rights they have in handling the production.

What type of distribution will be used for my product?

• Since our thriller is low budget, it should be seen mainly in small cinemas, with showings in larger cinemas only over a short period of time.

• A DVD release should be as soon as possible in order to make profit for our own independent film company.

• Our thriller should be digitally distributed as well in order for people to get a chance to see who haven’t had the opportunity to go to the cinema.

• A percentage of money made will go to the 3 production companies that produced or gave funding to the film.

Digital Distribution

• Major digital media technology such as iTunes and Netflix will be contacted and asked to put our production on their software for sale.

• This is a popular choice of consumption in our day and age, so the public will be more aware of and attracted to our film.
