WHY IS IT A GOOD DISTRIBUTOR FOR ARE MOVIE?
Vertigo suits are genre of film, also may have the finance and ideas to continue
the process of the beginning

Vertigo seems that they may do too many kid films and this may get in the way
of creating a catchy thriller.

and like a lot of action, aged around 15-20.

20 Academy Awards, 77 Academy

Why would it be a good distributer for my film:
As it would suit the idea of a good plot with a
lot of action.
Why would it not be a good distributer for my
film:
The stories aren't as serious as a thriller would
be, it would focus on the story

6. Target Audience, genres and films
Pathé have created films such as:
Mandela
The Queen
The Duchess
Philomena
These films are all of the drama genre but are
also based on a true story. They tend to have a
older target audience, this is due to the fact
that the characters are also within this age
frame and therefore the audience may find it
easier to relate to them but also that they are
based on historical events that the audience
may be interested in. All the above films have a
rating of a 12 and therefore have only
moderately offensive behavior in the movies
that a older audience would not object to.
These films would also appeal to people who
enjoy critically acclaimed films as these films
all received nominations for and some cases
won awards.

7. Not particularly as though Pathé are know to
work with British companies and on low
budget movies they wouldn’t be the best fit as
we are working towards making a film for the
thriller genre, when Pathé tend to work more
heavily on dramas. But not only this there are
differences in our target audiences are we are
pushing towards a younger target audience
that would be more open to seeing violent and
probably more offensive footage that they
distributer is used to publishing.
