Distribution

Film production and distribution is extremely important as it reflects how well and popular your film will become depending on who you chose to go with as many film productions are related with different genres and expectations from the audience.

For example, when people view warner brothers they relate it to typically family films of a high quality, the issue with this is that we do not want our film to be perceived as something it is not and therefore let the audience down as they may be expecting something else solely based on the production company or distributor.

In order to decide on a film distribution company I watched different action films that tied in with romance to reflect a positive representation of our opening sequence as the production company will be related previously with the genre. Popular ones I have researched are paramount and 20th century fox, 20th century fox has a popular, recognisable iconic introduction strongly relating to action, due to it being so popular I believe this would be appropriate as it is something the audience can already be aware of alongside reflecting high quality.

Furthermore, with Fox, they have another distribution company for independent or British films called Fox Searchlight. By using Fox Searchlight as a possible distribution company, we are able to also utilise any benefits they may bring us as it is a massive worldwide company and so has a broader audience that our film could appeal to.

Alongside this, as mentioned previously I watched action films with sub-genre of romance, lionsgate appeared in both films watched relating to the romance genre and so as a co distributer we decided Lionsgate would be perfect as this company often make romance movies so it would represent our subgenre well.
