EVAL Q2

How would it be distributed as a real media text?

I set up Who Wants to be a Millionaire with my brother in order to cover all aspects of distribution. I covered:

• The term 'distribution'
• Tentpole
• Box office
• The Gant Rule
• Dyer's Star Theory
• Franchise
• China
• Prima
• Theatrical distribution of Indie/genre films
• BBFC

This was inspired by the actual show...

Summary

Overall, I feel as though we would self-distribute our movie. As we have taken influence from a Working Title production, it would be expected to be distributed by a big 5 conglomerate, however this is not applicable because of the size of our company. Looking at examples such as Hinterland, we would have to distribute ourselves. The only other option would be to spend some of the micro-budget on entering our film into a film festival, like Wandering Rose. This would mean that our film could be picked up by distributors.
