Distribution Research - Traditional Distribution

While trying to produce our film, digital distribution is very important. Digital distribution is the delivery of media content of media content to the public. It would be hard for Marin and I to distribute our film to the public as we are not part of a mainstream production company and are independent film producers in high school. However, there are many sources for independent filmmakers to digitally distribute their content to the public. In an article we discovered by PBS, they explain the many resources of production of digital distribution. For instance, CreateSpace on Amazon allows creators to post their films and have customers pay to download it online. Likewise, the website IndieReign is directed to fans of small production company films and allows filmmakers and connect with their audiences. Although these websites are a great aid in getting their content our there, many filmmaker can have trouble attracting audiences to their films. If we were to post our film to CreateSpace, it would be directed towards audiences with all audiences with or without a paid subscription to increase our viewer rates. From there, we would post the video to YouTube to expand our viewer rates even more. YouTube is a great alternative as many videos are connected by similar content, and if someone is watching a trailer for a romantic comedy playing in theaters, then our film may come up in the "Suggested Videos" bar on the side.
