What is a distributer?

A distributer is someone who is responsible for the for release dates for a film. They also deal with making DVD's and Blu-Rays to sell after it has been shown in a cinema. So they deal with the marketing of the film overall.

Paramount

Paramount have produced classic, dramatic films which is why my film would be distributed by them as Film Noir is very dramatic.

My Opening Sequence

I believe that as my film doesn’t have all the typical “Film Noir” conventions that Paramount would be interested in distributing it. The fact that it isn’t set in the USA and the characters are completely traditional, I think that they will think it gives Film Noirs a modern twist which will attract a younger audience.

As you can see the photos on the left show that the hair styles of two of our male actors don’t have a typical 1950’s hair cut. And with the top right photo, you can see that the costumes are very traditional clothes for men during that era. The bottom right photo shows that our Femme Fatale’s makeup isn’t as attention drawing as some have been in other films.

How to gain an audience

To create an audience to go view the film in the cinema and buy the DVD’s after, I would use multiple social networking sites. For example create adverts and have Paramount advertise it on their page. Also the same on Twitter and YouTube as they are the most popular Social Networking Site.Adverts would be put up in cinemas, bus stops, buses, on social networking sites and at the sides of search engines.
