1. Distribution
Evaluation Task 3

2. Distributors
• A film distributor is a company responsible for
the marketing of a film. Some of the things
they will do is set the release date of a film
and the method by which a film is to be
exhibited or made available to view.

3. 20th Century Fox
• 20th century fox is one of the most world wide
known distributors and production company
out there. This company only take on movies
which (what they think) will make the highest
profit. They are very good at getting the
movies name out there due to there wealth.
Some of the films they have distributed are
Avatar, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

4. Vertigo Films
• This company is an independent distributor.
Unlike 20th Century Fox, Vertigo Films cant
afford to spend mass amounts of money on
distributing a film, so they distribute the
smaller films. Due to there low amount of
money, they want be able to advertise there
films as much and probably wont be able to
show them in all cinemas. Some of the films
that they have distributed are films such as
Sweeny and street dance.

5. Our Film
• My groups film would more likely be distributed
by a smaller such as Vertigo Films than some of
the big ones. This is due to are film being low
budget and being urban. A smaller distributer
would more likely choose our film because its a
low budget film which they can afford to
distribute. A bigger company such as 20th Century
Fox wouldn't bother with our film because it
wouldn't make that much money compared to
there other films that they could focus on.

6. Appeal
• Our film is set in the UK, based around
London. This would then appeal to the UK
audience as they might be able to relate to
the conditions they would be living in. It still
may appeal to other audiences from different
areas, but it properly wouldn't make as much
of a profit than the main target audience.
Also, all the main actors are at the age of 18
and under which would attract more of that
age range to watch it.

7. The Market
• There are many ways in which the movie could be brought
to people attention. Some of the ways that it could be done
is threw advertisement on the TV adds, or even on public
websites. We could also have the main actors to go TV
shows explain the film and the main bases of it to give
people an idea on what's it about. The best time to release
the our movie would be during the Easter holiday. The
reason why not summer or winter is because that is when
allot of the other big films come, which would cause our
film to be overshadowed. The reason why during the
holiday is because that is when some of our main audience
(teenagers) are on holiday and have free time on there
hands.

8. Self Distribution
• Self distribution would give us the flexibility too
choose how we promote our film, when we
promote and just gives us control on how our
movie is being distributed. However, we might
struggle to actually do all the distributing by
ourselves. We wouldn't have all the contacts that
other distributers would have which could delay
our film being shown and making things allot
harder. There also might be the possibility of not
doing the all the legal side very well and signing
the rights away without meaning too.
