Distribution

After the production stages the film goes through the final stages, distribution. Films are sent out to the cinema's for first viewing. The films advertising becomes larger with posters and official trailers rather than teasers. Interviews from the production team or actors are sometimes used to comment on the film. After the film has been in the cinema's for a while the distributer will turn the film into DVD's, Blue-Rays and downloads so the audience can watch the film from home.

 

Some famous distribution companies are:

 

• Warner Bros
• Sony Film
• 20th Century Fox
• Entertainment Film Distributors
• Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures / Disney Pixar

 

 

All of these companies will send out a film made by a production company to cinemas and prepare for it to be released on other platforms such as DVD's and Blu Rays, downloads, accessible on programs such as NetFlix and Lovefilm and can be brought on a gaming console to watch. They will control most of the advertising and as distribution companies are usually well-known respected companies films will usually get more attention if being distributed by a famous distribution company.
