Distribution

Distribution

I think that the company that would produce and distribute my groups drama movie would be a company such a BBC films. This is because they have done other British drama movies that have gone international after a small time of being UK exclusive. I think that it would be best to start off being UK exclusive because we would find out if the movie is successful before putting in a larger amount of money for making the film international.

After we have had success in UK with BBC films we would try to contact a larger company that would distribute my movie internationally. We would try to use river road entertainment to get our movie to go international, this is an American company that have had other successful drama movies such as ‘Fair game’



This is a movie that was produced and Distributed by River road entertainment.
It has been an international hit.

Finding a company that would distribute our product proved to be more difficult that we expected. However once we had found a company we found that they actually were perfect for what we wanted, we chose River Road because they are a English distributor that would help our film get national fame.

Our pictureboard presentation

This is how we planned out the first part of our film. We took several different angles of each shot to find which would be the most effective, we settled on these because we believe that it would have the best effect on our audience.

Doing this task allowed me too see what sort of content we could have in our film so that it stays as only a 15, if I did not do this the film may have become too violent and I would have lost most of my target audience

Our questionnaire and 1 set of results (Video)

Questionnaire from Liam Woodridge on Vimeo.

This is the video me and my partner (Curtis Cragg) Made from the results of our video. It only has one answer from each of our participants but we chose those because they were the most common answers. From doing this I learnt what people expect from a drama film, and that helps me and my group with our task.
