Pathé research

Research into the distributor Pathé

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.

Target Audience, genres and films

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.

Would this distribution company be good for our film?
