We would have to be careful about which company we would choose to distribute our product as not all production companies are suitable. For example, Disney would not be a suitable company to produce a film like this because as a company they mostly work with animated films which are suitable for audiences of all ages.
Suitable choices for the distribution of our film in the United States are as follows:
- Paramount
- 20th Century Fox
- Columbia
- MGM
The companies that could bring the film to the United Kingdom are the following:
- FilmFour
- Working Title
- Metrodome Distribution
The first way to watch our film would have to be the cinema. This would encourage people to go out and spend money at the cinema which generates a bigger revenue for the film and cinema market as a whole. People will be encouraged to go out and see the film this way as it is the only way to see it at the time of its release and shortly after. Once the film has been out for a while, it would become available through streaming services such as Netflix and BBC iPlayer as well as the traditional DVD and BluRay disc way of enjoying films at home.
This sequence of events ensures that more money goes into the industry than if all the methods of distribution were enabled at once, on the release of the film. This is why we chose these methods. Increasing monetary gain is important whenever possible for a company that is making their first film.
The advantage to these methods of distribution is also that the name of our company can be seen by the public eye more often. It will be visible in stores, on the internet, in the cinemas and in the outside world generally. People are bound to come into contact with the company at some point during their daily lives and it is bound to raise some interest from some people who see the logo.
