Distribution

Even thought we are not actually going to distribute the film, distribution is a good topic to talk about that is important to every film. Distribution is the process of making a movie available for viewing by the audience. There are distribution company's that are responsible for the marketing of a film. The distribution company is usually different from the production company. The distribution company is responsible for setting the release date of the film and the method by which the film is going to be made available by viewing. The distributor often receives credit in the films credits. Some examples of distribution company's are IFC films, Mangolia pictures, and Artifical eyes.

If we were to distribute our movie the first step we would take would be too make a licensing agreement with a distribution company. The distribution company would then show the movie too buyers representing the theater. And because our idea is good they would buy the movie and make an agreement with the distribution company. And from there the theater would show the movie for a specified number of weeks and people would buy a ticket to go see it. Then after it is exhibited to the public through the movie theater we would make it available for home viewing through several methods such as VHS and download. We would also make agreement with T.V stations so it can be aired on television programs through broadcast syndication.

Several of the student made examples that we were shown gave credit to distribution companies. They do this because it makes the movie opening look more profesional and real. But I realized that many of this distribution companies were fake and did not actually exist. So we decided to do the same thing and create our own distribution company logo to show before our film opening starts. We are not using a real one because their is probably several steps that have to be done  in order to use a real companies logo, so we feel it will be easier if we just make our own. We are thinking of just doing something simple like a bird and under we would use our names like "Diaz production". Even though is it simple it makes the movie opening look a lot better.
