Distribution Plan

For the distribution of  my film, I want to have a short theatrical release, a re-release of the film in theaters, and a home media release that is exclusively digital download.

Theatrical release 

     For my theatrical release I want the film to have a shortened window. I want the film to be in theaters for three weeks. Most films make over ninety percent of their money in the first three weeks. I want to have this window because we can make mostly the same profit without having to keep the film in theaters too long which costs money. 

Re-release 

     There will be a re-release of the film in theaters a week after the first theatrical release has concluded. This version of the film will include bonus content and lyrics on the screen that allow the audience to sing along with the film. This will be available for two weeks. This will give the film a chance to pick up more profit from the theaters while it is still relevant. 

Home Media 

     For the home media release of the film, which takes place six weeks after the films initial release, the film will be made available on digital download only. This is because services like Disney+ and Hulu are becoming more popular and are at the point where they had replaced DVDs. Making the film available on these services ensures that it will have exposure for a long time and saves us the money of making it available on DVD which is becoming expensive and irrelevant.

Another marketing tactic used early on was interviews and TV show appearances with the lead actor Rami Malek talking about playing the character Freddie Mercury. Later on he made an appearance in character at Fox's CinemaCon. As things picked up other resources where used such as a deal with Wrangler creating a line of jeans inspired by the film. Also the band Queen, who was somewhat involved with the film as well, announced a reunion tour with Adam Lambert. Once the film had been in theaters for a while t...

Film Genre Research- A Star is Born

Image
"A Star is Born" opens by showing the Production company name with the sound of a crowd cheering in the background. Next the scene shows the main character backstage taking a handful of pills and walking on stage. The camera has a fish-eye effect to it to give the viewer the same intoxicated feeling that the main character is having. The band starts playing, he is playing the guitar. in the middle of the song the scene cuts to him entering the car with screaming fans behind him. The car rolls away and he starts drinking alcohol from the bottle as a ringing sound effect starts to build. This scene gives the feeling that the main character is exhausted from his life on the road. The film had a budget of 36 million dollars and a profit of 434.9 million dollars.
