Distribution Research- Mad Max: Fury Road

Image
The movie Mad Max has a similar audience to ours with the fast action pace movie. In movie uses multiple ways to distribute their movie, throughout the time it was released. They first released the movie in theaters on May 15th, 2015 and made it available on DVD to sell in stores on September 1st, 2015. In the movie Mad Max the distribution company was American International Pictures and was in charge on the spreading of the film.  As will as being available to buy on DVD it was also available to buy or rent on Amazon. Additionally, the film was made available on Hulu, HBO, and Netflix. By having multiple deals with theses streaming companies, it increases the amount of people able to view the movie on their preferred streaming service. By having the movie by convenient to the audience there is more chances to make more money with more viewers. For our film distribution I think we should consider having the release date between the theater to DVD faster.

The movie Transformers: The Last Knight has a similar audience to ours by having the action seeking  audience. The distribution of the film was done by many different way by Paramount Pictures, first the movie was put on the Blu-ray 4k and Blu-ray 3D. The movie was also put into DVD. By doing this it increased the number of people easily viewing the film. The film was released on July 21, 2017 and was but into DVD on September 26, 2017. Additionally in some places globally, Transformers: The Last Knight was available on Netflix. It is also available other streaming services including, Hulu and Amazon Prime. They also started released the film with the previous Transformer movies to create a bigger package to promote older movies. By these distribution methods, there will be more access to watch the film. For our movie we should also have many other streaming platforms air our movie.

Distribution Research- Fast and Furious 7

The movie Fast and Furious 7 used multiple ways to distribute their movie.  First they sold the movie in stores on DVD as well as make it available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime.  They also made the movie digital on Netflix and available to purchase on HBO. By having these ways to distribute the film it makes it very easy for viewers to see it easily by having many different way to access the movie.  This will increase the number of people viewing the movie because there is a lot of different ways to access it. For our movie we should incorporate the idea of having the movie be on many different viewing platforms to increase the number of viewer and overall the amount of money we can make after the film has aired.

Revision #1

For our first revision we fixed our quality of the video. Before the video was very blurry because it was uploaded and emailed to different places before it was actually posted making the quality of the video very blurry. We changed it by directly uploading it from my computer which is what had the original file on it directly to youtube.  

Distribution Research

Traditionally, films distribute their movies within stores or digitally such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, etc. For our movie we would use this by most likely distributing our movie digitally as it would fit better and our movie wouldn't be a really well known to the public at the time.

Marketing Plan

When planning out marketing for our film I believe we should do similar marketing ideas to the films we researched.  I believe we should make a social media account to promote our movie. By having a social media account we can create ads that can be reposted to increase the audience of our film. It is also a quick, easy and free to promote the movie.We can also can have our actors post ads for the movie and with their following they can promote the film.

Audience Engagement Research Need for Speed

In the film Need for Speed, the target audience will be an older group of people due to it's violence. The theme and plot of the film is similar to our film with car racing and high action crime film. The audience will be mostly a male audience due to the interest men will have in the plot of the film. This is similar to our film because we are attracting the same kind of age group as this film. The marketing strategy for this film was to promote the expensive cars being used in the film. The trailer of the film was first shown during the Super Bowl which helped to increase the number of viewers to watch the trailer. There was also a lot of focus on the experience cars used, including Ford cars. With Ford being featured in the film, the company was in big support of the film are promoted it with made commercials promoting the cars in the film and the main actors in the film. The media used was mostly in commercials, to promote the car as well as the movie. This persuaded the a...

Audience Engagement Research Baby Driver

The movie Baby Driver, has the same fast action theme as our movie. The movie also has similar car racing scenes, this will create a similar kind of audience for the films. Baby Driver target audience is mostly a younger generation audience, probably between 15-40, due to the action packed plot. The gender many be specific but might be more of a male audience due to the intense crime and action. This will mostly be the same as our films target audiences because we both are attracting younger action seeking people. When marking Baby Driver, Sony Production company decided to release the film right before the 4th of July to increase the number of people see the film on that holiday. Sony also released individual posters for all the cast members to promote the movie and all the different ethnicity represented in the film. This increased the interest of each one of those different race groups to see the role of the character.  The social media used to promote the movie, were...
