Difference between
mainstream distributors
and social realism
distributors
Mainstream distributors
distribute a low rate of
independent films whilst a great
number of what social realism
distributors distribute are
independent films.
This will benefit my
product because it is
independent and they are
more recognised by
social realism distributors
Mainstream distributors
have a wider audience
than social realism
distributors
This does not affect my product as
much as it is aimed towards a
specific audience so they could
focus on advertising it to them but it
will still not help as it will not get to
a lot of people nor will it be as
successful than if it was distributed
by a mainstream distributors
My product
Distributors that would
distribute my product and
why?
Vertigo films
Vertigo films distributed the film
"London to Brighton" which involves
the issues of violence, drugs and prostitution and
class and status and those issues and
themes are incorporated into my
product so therefore they may be
interested in distributing my film
Verve pictures
Verve pictures distributed 'Bullet
Boy' which includes the issues of
violence and crime my product
involves those issues thus why
they may be interested in
distributing my product
My Target Audience
British audience
Companies that distribute
british films

Males and Females
16+
The reason it is targeted to that age
group is because I believe that is the
age you would be more aware of
the issues that are in my product
Themes and Issues
Violence
Prostitution
Class and Status
Why would they be interested in my product
I would be raising awareness about a
very serious issue that is often brought up yet not addressed accuratly
My storyline is interesting
as you wonder what will
happen next and it is very
gritty
My product fits in with the social
realism genre as I made the storyline
gritty and real and is showing people
the side of drugs and crime
Genre
The social realism genre aim to
show a realistic depiction of life.
Social realism is often described as
gritty and the term social realism is
often used uncritically in film critism
