The Eye is a thriller movie that is similar to our oppening sequence, especielly narrative wise.
The distributor company of this movie is Lions Gate, it is an Canadian entertainment company that has existed in different incarnations. It has distributed many movies and not just thriller anticipated movies showing how it is versatile. As of 2007, it is the most commercially successful independent film and television distribution company in North America. A company like this less likely to distribute our movie as our movie does not have a large budget and is British.
This is the trailer of The Eye Movie;
The fact that Jessica Alba is the main character in the movie itself tells the audience that it has been distributed by a well known established company as Jessica Alba is an A-list star making her very expensive to hire to star in a movie. Also there marketing techniques were heavy making it clearly that it is distributed by a strong American company that has the financial sources to do so.
27 Dresses is an American romantic comedy therefore it is very different to our opening sequence. Its distribution company is Fox 2000 Pictures, it is one of the six major American film studios as of 2010. It is also a large American company owned by News Corporation which is the second largest conglomerate, making it a successful distributer that has a lot of financial sources. Most movies that this company distributes are either "soft horrors", romantic comedies e.g. 27 dresses, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Therefore it would not be the ideal or matching distributer for our movie, especially as it is one of the six major American film studios and does not focus on our type genre (psychological thrillers).
This is 27 Dresses Trailer;
This trailer clearly shows that it is distributed by a major film company (Fox 2000 Picture) as it clearly shows the fact there are A-list stars in the movie, such as Kathrin Heigle and this itself identifies the movie by being high budget. Also it brings up the fact that it is from the producers of Devil Wears Prada which is also a well known successful movie, which all links back to the fact that it is clearly distributed by a well known established company that can afford to distribute a highly financed movie.
Donnie Darko is an America movie that was release in 2002 in the UK. It is a Sci-Fi thriller that revolves around a troubled teenager who is surrounded by visions of a large bunny rabbit that manipulates him to commit a series of crimes, after narrowly escaping a bizarre accident. Similarly to our opening sequence it revolves around a teenagers life making the target audience similar to ours, also the cast were mainly less known or established as actors at the time, making it also similar to ours, as the main focus does not surround around A-list stars, such as Jessica Alba in The Eye.
This is the trailer of the movie;
As you can see the movie is distributed by Pandora which is also the company that we chose to distribute our movie, this is a German independent production and distribution company that is not as "big" as Lionsgate or has a big share in the movie distribution business. As it is also a production company allowing us the co-produce the movie therefore helping us to finance the movie. We chose this company also to distribute our movie as it is international allowing the movie to be seen globally (At least around Europe) and as it distributes similar movies to ours making it more relevant to us as it has more experience in out specific genre. Also our movie does not have A-list stars or a large budget making a company like this more suitable. Also competition would be less fierce between the movies in the same distribution company unlike Lionsgate for example, as the distribute dozens at once limiting the focus on each film. (Pandora only accept independent films that are of a specific genre; including mystery, historical and experimental.)
