We chose 'Revolver Entertainment' to be the distributers for our media product, because they are a low budget british distributing company who have distributed films from the same genre as ours including; 'iLL Manors', 'Kidulthood' and 'Adulthood.'They would be a very good distributer for our film as they are a reliable and reputable company that would support and promote our film fully, as even though our film is a British independent film it still appeals to a large audience and films of the same genre have done very successfully in the past. 'Revolver Entertainment' have also made many more films in the youth culture genre like 'Offender,' 'Sket' and 'Shank.' All these films have similarities to ours in the setting, characters and usually the plo outline. This is why we would feel very comfortable relying on 'Revolver Entertainment' to distribute our film.
Also while doing my research I found out that many British Youth Culture films have been produced by 'Revolver Entertainment' therefore our film would be perfect for their distribution company. As our film is set in Britain and has British themes we didn't need to worry about the big American companies like 'Universal' and 'Columba' as most Americans wouldn't understand the context of out film as it portrays the struggle of an everyday teenager in Britain.
In terms of money and marketing most of the money for our film would probably come from the National Lottery Film Council, who are known to support British independent films. The money from the National Lottery Film Council would most probably go towards props (for example guns, fake blood, football kits) and settings (for example if were to film in a football stadium.) We wouldn't need to spend much apart from that as it is a low budget British film and set mostly in an urban environment, they won't be many special effects and any A-list actors saving them a lot of money to spend. Once our film is produced we would then distribute it in cinemas and then distribute it in shops like HMV and online retailers like Amazon and iTunes.
