evaluation 3 - Publishing Films

Film Distribution; the process of making a movie available for viewing by an audience


-I Am Legend
I Am Legend is a very popular post apocalyptic film and broke the box office in 2007, where it became the 7th highest grossing film of 2007.  Warner Brothers played a huge part in the sales of I Am Legend, as it is already a large, established and trusted distruster of popular films such as, All Batman, Lego Movies...
However the cost of publishing films through a large distribution can cost from £10million upwards,
I Am Legend cost £77million in publishing cost.

However when publishing our films we are greatly restricted to and where we can publish due to limited funds. Our main target to publish our film is to post it on YouTube. There are many reasons why, one being its free, this means our other expenses where spent on costumes and props, another reason being YouTube is a huge social site with billions of customers, this way our film can be seen by many people. Also our peers are able to see our film and tell other which is a great way of reaching our target audience through work of mouth. However because we have no major publisher its hard for our film to been seen as, warner bros. and 20th century dominate the market, also if we have no major publisher when it is seen by our audience they may not watch as they would think  its a poor film due to the stereotype of other films created as jokes on YouTube. However we are limited to where we can publish, and You Tube still shows our film to billions of people if they choose to see it, and its completely free. You Tube is our best option
Other social media sites are also good such as Facebook, Instagram, which also will reach our target audience and could provide us with positive feed back, however we are restricted to who can view it because of privacy settings so our audience is restricted, so there could be our second option.
