Media :
producers and distributers
After
speaking to my Godfather Terry who is an English film producer himself. I found
there are many more than one way of doing this and by working out the best way
to do this is determined by the highest profit you are estimated to gain in the
end. One way of doing this would be going through an English film company such
as VERTIGO for producing and distribution however though this would work out
substantially cheaper and for your out
payment , the English film industry is much smaller than the U.S so the English
companies will have smaller budgets . this
could create restriction when filming or and editing making the movie
less appealing to a wider audience. To go with a U.S producer and distributer
such as, Warner bro’s, or a smaller company such as Magnolia would help benefit
by giving the film a wider audience and most likely a lager budget. Only down fall being it will be harder to
find investors and if the film fails you may not gain a good payment. Payment
can’t be done either though a percentage or a outright payment , to take a
percentage could lead in to a great profit if the film dose well but if the
film fails you will most likely lose
more then you have paid in to the film itself. By taking an outright payment
you are more likely to get more then you
paid in to the movie but if the movie does well if you had taken the percentage
you may have a least double that amount and you will continue to get the amount
for the rest of time the film is being played or marketed suggesting you could
make a lot more money.
Our movie
“SOLO” being based on a real life American event suggests to me it may appeal
to an American audience more than an English one, as links to them more
personally, making it more engaging for them as they will feel a part of it . I
also think to go with a big U.S film company Warner Bro’s would be good to make
our film as it is a lot of editing and high technology quality , if we were to
go with an English company such as Vertigo I don’t think they would give us the
budget unless they joined up with a few other company’s such as the BBC , which
would mean paying out more to other palaces when the movie is finish so they
would not make as much profit. The U.S could make this film off of there one company
and if it does well and makes the money back with profit as well as
distributing it across the U.S . I think to take an aggraded payment on the
film would be the best idea, as it is our first film we have no idea which way
it is going to go and to take the percentage my work out badly. For such a high
tech film I think you will need a high
budget to make it believable. I believe that our films best success is with a
big U.S company , due to the fact that the film is an American story , it’s an
action thriller , it has a larger audience and has a better chance of doing
well internationally.
If they were
to remake our film I would also allow them to take control of distribution as
they have a lot of experience in way of distribution to benefit the film
itself. Leaving everything in the hands of Warner bros. However it would be
extremely hard to convince Warner bros to remake this movie , most likely they
would remake our film if it was a
success. I think if we looked at a lower budget company they would be more
likely to except the movie. Vertigo is
one of the UKs biggest film companies to use them to produce our film would
work well and as it’s a smaller industry over here in the UK. Vertigo also has
its own distribution company which has proved it marking skills though such as
“Monster and Street dance”, getting then in to the cinemas and selling them over to the USAs film festivals
like SXSW and Sundance I think this is the best route to take for our film to
do well and make the best profit for them, as they can sell the rights abroad. This
would offset the costs for making the film, as they could sell the rights in
advance as this can help fund the film. They would distribute my film by working in partnership with uk T.V comapanys such as BBC and ITV ,this would help to rase the budget for our film as they are a low budget british company. If a lager U.S comapny was interested in puchersing our film , Vertigo would most likely sell our movie on to make money for futer films and it would also alow our movie to be distrubted in the U.S.
