What kind of film are we making.
- An independant british superhero dark comedy with elements of teen comedy-drama, action and tragicomedy.
- Aimed at teens (specifically men).
Distributers are responsible for the marketing of the film. They set the release date and the meathod of release for the product. These include:
- Theatrical release (in cinemas)
- Direct to DVD
- Video on Demand (through things like Love film and Netflix. The show is streamed directly to your computer or TV through the power of the internet. Also using Iplayer and various other internet catch up sites)
- DVD on Demand (usually used to distribute cheap, homemade horror movies. Order from a website and the company will burn the film onto a disc and send it to you. Good way of getting cheap, terrible horror films).
- Download
- Television seies, miniseries or TV film.
- Film Festivals (Sundance, Cannes)
Distribution is the most important part of the filmmaking process as without it the film would never be seen.
What would I expect them to do?
I would want my distributers to set up a facebook fan page, design posters for magazines, cinemas and internet webpages. I would also get them to edit trailers and TV spots and put them in theatres, TV stations and social media/video sharing sites like facebook, vimeo & Youtube. Also I would like them to show my film at an independant film festival.
