Our thriller being made by an independent UK Business, our budget will be somewhere in the lower region of the market, this means that it will be very unlikely that out film would be distributed by the multiplex cinemas that show all the high budget Hollywood film like, Cineworld and the Odeon. becasue of our budget being low the distribution in cinemas will be a great smaller and shorter, although this may come a major problem our film will be distribute by the lower budget smaller cinemas so it is more likely that our Thriller will be played at local Picturehouses like the Duke of York Picturehouse or the Greenwich Picturehouse in London.
Because of our independence we feel like Smaller picturehouses are a good idea this is because will have a good attention from locals or many who enjoy the smaller places, it is also due to the fact that we would not be able to support having our cinema in the larger cinemas because our budget may just make the bigger cinemas or not at all. We can gather a small amount of members of the picturehouses, we will then draw up papers will all costs and share prices and finish agreeing how long and how frequent our film will be shown. if they are interested they will take on our film as one of there projects and display the film as agreed by the board members.
In the case that our film is less popular the most likely and most reliable way to distribute is to go straight to DVD, this will then lead to us relying on retail stores to gather sales on the film.
it is likely that if our film goes straight to DVD then it mean that it wasnt deemed popular enough and aswell as going straight onto DVD which will make profits fall it will not be produced on Blu-ray which is the up and coming next generation Movie format.
Blockbuster and HMV are two good examples of retail stores that may sell our film if it goes straight to DVD,
In the case that our film goes straight to DVD there is a chance that it can be redeemed by internet streaming website, this could include Netflix and Lovefilm which are becoming popular due to the instant streaming that you just need to click and watch.In current times this is a gamble because these forms of watching film has only just released in 2012 and may prove a success or may become shadowed and then rise in the future when the film has passed.
After a few years we mat then get picked up by ITV or BBC for free showing TV it is unlikely that BBC will pick it up but lower budget channels like VIVA or Film4 may chose it as a nights premiere.
Alternatively we look towards looking on on-line only stores. These stores are becoming more popular as the years go on, this would be especially good and will collaborate with if were to go straight to DVD. Having our product being distributed on-line may it be a physical DVD or a download code and having the option to have retail stores is a wise decision.
If our product becomes popular we will not need to worry about it because our download store wont run out of copies at all so we can continue to sell. There is only concern will download and that piracy which is a big problem in the on-line distribution.

As with other of your answers, this is really too similar to Scott's. You may have written the answers together, but as you are marked individually, they need to be individual and personal. You both need to rework the answers to reduce the similarities. Also here, there is too little evidence that you understand the process of distribution in this context. Show that you know what distribution actually is, and more of the process whereby a group like picturehouse would take a project on. You are expected to do your own research too for this, so look again at my blog and linked websites (eg guerrilla film making) and search via google. It's not difficult to do this! Look at level 4 examples from last year, but ignore some of the company details as they had a slightly different brief.
