Welcome
to our 2nd virtual lesson! How are you all doing?
I will be keeping to the normal timetable
this week, with class and prep tasks. As usual on Tuesdays, we think about the film industry.
Let's revisit DISTRIBUTION
and also in exam questions like these
Please read through the distribution 'Page' on our blog. Take it slowly. When you think that you have a solid understanding, return to the link above on Creative Critical Reflection 2. There are guideline questions, which I have copied below. You should be able to start planning your own presentation. This task will take the equivalent of a double period plus at least the same again for prep. So this is what we will also be doing tomorrow.
CREATIVE CRITICAL REFLECTION 2: How would you distribute your film opening?
- Explain the distributor's role.
- Identify
an independent UK distributor who would be a good match for your
small-budget independent film, giving reasons for your choice, such as
their mission statement and other films that they have handled.
- You could draw attention to the newer ways in which indie producers such as yourselves market their own films such as through social media, launching their work online via their own personal film websites which host all their oeuvre. You could also include reference to film competitions and film festivals which are vehicles for young film-makers. Look on this page to get relevant info.
- Sketch out a distribution strategy, being realistic.
- If
you have made a film trailer, film poster, film FB, Twitter or
Instagram, here is the place to add them. None of these are required but
often high-achieving groups have had fun adding them.
Take your time and get it right. You will present this in a platform such as Canva, Visme, Slideshare, with visuals. I repeat, this
task will take the equivalent of a double period plus at least the same
again for prep. So this is what we will also be doing tomorrow.
