Copies of The Films For Cinema) and Marketing (Responsible For Launching A Film)

Distribution involves three main ways of getting a media product to audiences: film sales in cinemas, print distribution of copies, and marketing campaigns. Distributors acquire films from various sources like sales agents, parent studios, or output deals. Test screenings with diverse audiences help predict a film's appeal. Marketing budgets depend on estimated box office figures based on how many people will see the film and how much they will pay. Cinemas rent copies of films from distributors for a rental fee based on ticket prices, which helps estimate box office receipts and budgets. Formal distribution deals between distributors and producers specify rights, income sharing, and contract expiration dates.

Distribution Distribution is how you make a media product get seen by the audience.

There a three ways it can be distributed. These ways are: film sales (booking films into cinema), print department (making copies of the films for cinema) and marketing (responsible for launching a film). UK distributors acquire the films they release from one or more of various sources: -a third-party sales agent, acting on behalf of a producer -a continuous flow of new content from a parent studio (conglomerate) -a studio or production company with whom the distributor has negotiated an output deal covering a slate of titles -a single title acquired at any stage before, during or after production (independent) After the film has been produced there will be some test screenings these screenings are shown by an invited population. These people can be old, young, man, woman. The screenings allow distributors to more accurately predict what kinds of people will like the film. Marketing Before beginning to produce a film, companies have to make sure how much money they can spend on marketing. The marketing budget is based on box office figures. The figures are based on how many people are likely to see a particular film in the cinema and how much money they are going to spend to see that film. Rental Cinema (exhibitors) rent a copy of a film in order to screen it. They pay the rental fee to the distributor but the price depends on how high a price for one ticket in the cinema is. The money which the distributors get will help to determine the overall budget because it helps estimate box office receipts. Making a Distribution Deal Distributors sign a formal contract with the producer, sales agent or studio, specifying the rights they hold in respect of the title. These normally include the right to release it in UK cinemas and promote it in all media before and during its release. There may also be provision for the film to be edited locally (or not) in order to secure a particular classification. The contract will set out how the income from the release is to be apportioned and accounted for, and set a date on which the distribution license expires.
