I looked at the FDA website to research and find out more about film distribution and what it has to do after the production proccess has come to an end. The FDA descibe the term "distribution" to be the "
highly competitive business of
launching and sustaining films in the market place. It's vital to the health of the film industry as a whole. Films don't become well known, or find their place in the world, by accident. The ditributors challange is to bring each one to market , starting from scratch (except for a sequel) and realising its potential."
While on the FDA website: (
http://www.launchingfilms.tv/index.php) I watched videos which gave me a further insight into the
stages and proccesses the films have to go after the production proccess has come to and end and is ready to be viewed by the public. I began to watch what happend at the beginning of the distibution proccess and what
plans they have to make in order for them to release the film. I also watched and gathered information about how important the film trailer actually is, in
entising the audience into watching their product. For example:
I firstly looked at the "release of the film" - This consists of
planning on how they're going to
sell this product to their audience. The first stage is what their
target audience is and then after to make
campaign to advertise their product. the second stage is the discussion on the
film budget and how much they are going to spend. From this they can
begin their distribution of the film.
I then looked at the "film trailers"- From this I found out that the
most important piece of distributing a film is the film trailer. From this you are giving the audince a
taster and an insight to the film they could
possibly see and buy into. The whole purpose of a trailer is to
build awareness for the film and lure in future customers.
As a group we decided on choosing
"Metrodome" as our distributor seeing as it fits all of the Black roses' r
equirements. For instance, Metrodome is a London based company in which it produces films that recive a niche audience. These films are culturally based, oppose to being big Hollywood block busters such as films like "Mission Impssoible".
Metrodome have produced films such as:
- The last Seven
- In Darkness
- Resistance
From looking at this website I realised I had to make my homepage represent the genre. For example in the picture to the left of this you can clearly see that this is a thriller/horror due to the facial expression, the cold colours and the fonts used. The makers of this film have adressed their audiences by using social media such as facebook and Twitter, from this allowing them to keep people updated on the films status and extra suprises added in. The makers of Indidious have added in other features such as real life supernatural encounters to keep the audience excited to see the film. 
This is my homepage to my webiste for the Black Rose. I have attracted/adressed my audience by using social media such as facebook and Twitter due to the fact these two sites are both expanding beyond belief and are a perfect way to keep your audience updated on whats new. Our group have come up with a technique in which we could further adress our audience and keep them excited for the release of our film. For instance in 
This is another way Film makers adress and attract their audiences. Facebook is the largest and fastest growing social website. From this it is the easiest and fastest was to keep your audience updated. From this we made our own for the same purpose.
