Film Producers & Distributors

In this task I have looked at many different major and minor film producers and distributors in order to be able to discuss who I would want to distribute my coming of age film. The research I have gathered can be seen in this Prezi below:



Learning Comment:

From this piece of research I have learned the difference between major and minor film institutions. I now know that companies like Universal are more likely to distribute films with high budgets such as Avatar because they have funding from companies like the uk film council, and therefore they can afford to hire more well known actors. Blockbuster companies commonly have subsidiaries to their companies so that they have smaller independent companies to release films of a smaller genre/sub-genre in case they are not popular with the target audience and flop in the cinema upon release. 

Some of the common companies that are well known for producing coming of age films are Mr Mudd and Film4. These are art house broadcasting companies that are known for creating coming of age film and television, such as Submarine. These are the types of companies we should use when producing and distributing our film opening sequences. These are recognisable institutions for people who enjoy watching coming of age films, so by using companies that are associated with the genre, we will thereby increase the likelihood of attracting and engaging a large target audience, primarily in audience demographic E.
