Drafting and Planning: Film Distribution.

As I am making a film trailer it is a good idea to think about what film distributor logos to have within my trailer. This will give the trailer a realistic and professional look and will add the the feel to it and make people think they are watching a real trailer.

Some distributors are:

• Studio Canal 
• Warner Bro.s 
• Universal 
• Scott free 
• Lionsgate
• 20th Century Fox 
• Paramount Picture 

    From looking at these distributors and the type of films they make i have decided to go with 20th Century Fox, Warner Bro.s, Universal or Paramount. These are all film distributors which have made films of the same genre of mine and are successful film distributors.


 20th Century Fox is the first distributor that came to mind as it one of the biggest conglomerates in the world. It is responsible for some of the biggest films in history such as the 'Alien Franchise' and the 'Empire Strikes Back'. This film company has distributed many action flicks such as 'Avatar', 'Logan' and 'Die Hard'. So by using this as my distributor, the audience would know that 20th century fox are responsible for some of the biggest action films ever. I feel that if I include this company in the trailer then it would look more like a main stream trailer which would appeal to a domestic and global audience. However looking at films similar to my own, such as 'The Road' I have found that they use independent distributors such as 'Dimension Films' which was the distributor used for 'The Road'.

Another distributor is Warner Bros. Pictures which is a distributed big films such as 'The Dark Knight' and 'Harry Potter' Saga. This Company appealed to me for the wide array of action films they have distributed. Films that have been distributed by Warner Bros. have be well marketed. To have this particular company distribute my movie would ensure that the movie is not only marketed well but also ensures that when the audience sees the movie advertised they will know its in the hands of a distributor that is well known for these movies.

Universal is my final choice of a film distributor as it another of the biggest film conglomerates in the world. This film company is know for its big budgets in films. although this film distributor has recently done a mix of thriller and horror they do have so actions films, such as ast and furious franchise under their belt. So if i were to choose this particular distributor then i would have a distributor that is well known For making some of the biggest film franchises such as Jurassic world and the fast and furious franchise

I have now researched into these different distributors in an attempt to find the most suitable for my film. However for a film to be even more successful it may have more then one distributor which means more funding and more attraction from audiences.
