For our movie, we would want to get our movie distributed by Universal Pictures. Since the trailer for our movie came out on January 31st, we were going to set the release date to be in April of 2020. But, we have now moved it to May of 2020 to gain some extra money from the start of the Memorial Day weekend here in the United States. We plan on DVD/ Blu ray versions of our film coming out 12-16 weeks after the premier date in May, which would be around August. This will increase the number of people viewing our film because a lot may have not seen it in the movie theater. After that we plan on having Netfix, Hulu and Amazon prime to release our movie and have it on their streaming services. This will happen about 4-6 months after coming out in May, which would leave it to come out around October.

The movie Mad Max used multiple ways to distribute their movie throughout the time it was released. First, they released the movie in theaters on May 15, 2015, and made it available on DVD to sell it in stores on September 1, 2015 as well as make it available for purchase and rent on Amazon. They also made it available on Hulu, HBO, and Netflix to watch. When looking at the distribution for this movie we felt as that we would incorporate some of the same aspects, such as using digital distribution and DVD form for our movie. 

The movie Transformers: The Last Knight has a similar audience to ours by having the action seeking audience. The distribution of the film was done by many different ways by Paramount Pictures, first the movie was put on the Blu-ray 4k and Blu-ray 3D. The movie was also put into DVD. By doing this it increased the number of people easily viewing the film. The film was released on July 21, 2017 and was put into DVD on September 26, 2017. Additionally in some places globally, Transformers: The Last Knight was available on Netflix. It is also availale other streamin services including, Hulu and Amazon Prime. They also started released the film with the previous Transformer movies to create a bigger package to promote older movies. By these distrubtion methods, there will be more access to watch the film. For our movie we should also have many other streaming platforms air our movie. 

For our second revision, we changed the font of the credits and the title. At first they were pretty generic and didn't really fit the theme, so after watching openings to movies that relate to pur film, we looked at fonts and changed them.

For our first revision we fixed the quality of the video. Before, the video was blurry and had very low quality. Before, the video wasn't uploaded from Logan's computer directly so, this time we uploaded it directly from Logan's computer which increased the quality of the video.

Fast and Furious 7 used multiple ways to distribute their movie throughout. First, they sold the movie in stores on DVD as well as make it available for rent or buy on amazon prime. They also made the movie digital on Netflix and available for purchase on HBO. We would incorporate these ways to distribute our movie by making ours available digitally as well as purchasable on other forms.

Traditionally, films distribute their movies within stores or digitally, such as amazon prime, Netflix,  Hulu, Target, Best Buy and more. For our movie I felt that we would go to the digital route and distribute our movie digitally. This would work better because our movie wouldn't be as well known as other movies so it would be easier for people to rent it. I feel as if we would make more money from our movie if we were to sell it digitally instead of spending all of the money to put it in theaters.

When planning out marketing for our film I believe we should do similar marketing ideas to the films we researched. I believed we should make a social media account to promote our movie. By having a social media account we can create ads that can be reposted to increase the audience of our film. It is also a quick, easy and free way to promote the movie. We can also have our actors post ads for the movie and with their following they can promote and share the film.
