How does it work?
A film is produced by the producer who provides money to a distributor in order to distribute the made film. Money is then given to the cinema's to screen the film, and once this has happened to customer pay to see the film. All the money through these steps return to the producer first as they are the first paid, then a small share of the money goes to the distributors and the cinema.
What is the role of a distributor?
The distribution company is in charge of getting the film out to audiences, this involves organising regulation bodies, such as the BBFC and MPAA; arranging exhibition outlets globally and DVD; television rights; arranging for prints of the film; and marketing, publicity and promotion of the film.
2 factors to consider when choosing a production company
- think about how much will the film cost?
- what genre is the film?
Our film is a hit blockbuster therefore we decided to go for a mainstream and one of the big six production companies to ensure the film gets distributed as globally as possible due to the potential it has to succeed. In the end we went with universal studios due to it specialising in distributing family comedies, thus it fits our film profiling.
