Question 3:
What Media Distribution Company could distribute your production and why?
For the Media distribution company we decided to go with LIonsgate as the distribution company and Warner bros. as the production. Warner Brothers is an American television, film and general
entertainment production company which is a section of the international Time Warner company
which is based in Burbank, California and New York. Warner Bros. has smaller companies
underneath it such as WB Studios and WB Pictures. We decided to choose WB as our distribution company as they have lots of experience underneath them. The vast amount of resources would allow COLD COUNTRY to be backed by a big budget (meaning the film could be more extravagant and better made) and would allow the film to be advertised heavily too through lots of different media which would help the studio profit.
We chose LIONSGATE entertainment Corp, to distribute our film. Lionsgate is a North American company which has headquarters set in Sante Monica, California. It is a massively successful commercial distribution company which works with independent films and big companies too. Advantages to using this company are that it has a offices in the UK which allow for local communication and the company’s successful background help to sell the film to people, because of Lionsgate’s well regarded reputation. The company has been sold as reliable and because they are professional promoters and advertisers would help get the film the coverage it needs to get it off the ground.
Both of these companies have highly regarded reputations and are international, it would help our
thriller sell. The 2 companies have reputations for selling well regarded films (The Dark Knight for
WB and NARC, Crash and Hostel for Lionsgate) and the majority of these films are dark, gritty
thrillers which suits our piece perfectly.
The above film The Dark Knight, is an incredibly well regarded thriller film which blends a gritty violent world with one of the best known icons in all of entertainment. The opening of TDK utilises extremely bland environments which lack any colour, as shown in the above establishing shot, and this helps to bring a feel of isolation to the piece. TDK is an example of an extremely successful thriller that has been superbly produced and marketed by Warner Brothers.
