Distribution Research- Pitch Perfect 3

"Pitch Perfect 3" is a musical/comedy film from 2017. Its genre is similar to my film because it has some aspects of humor and seriousness throughout the film. This film is rated PG-13, meaning it has some vulgar language and crude content. Because of this, my film and this film both target the older teen population. "Pitch Perfect 3" had its world premiere in Sydney, Australia, on November 29, 2017, and was released in the United States on December 22, 2017. This film was distributed by Universal Pictures, which is a well known and respected company. "Pitch Perfect 3" can be streamed on Amazon Prime, Google Play, MAX Go, HBO Go, Fandango Now, YouTube and iTunes. The DVD for the film was released on March 20, 2018. This allows for a larger audience who did not see "Pitch Perfect 3" in theaters, to see it afterwards. For our film we are going to do traditional distribution where it is in the theater for 90 days, then available for purchase on DVD, Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu. These methods will allow us to to target our main audience which is teenagers because they will be able to watch the film at home.

Third Quarter Submission

For our quarter three submission we revised some parts of our film. We re-shot the beginning of our film to slow down the pace of the film. We also added new fonts and coloring in the beginning of our film for our names and opening title, to have special effects and make it more personal. Our original titles were red and had no effect, so this time we added a pop-in special effect for "Girl's Night" title to create a theme for the film. Additionally, we added incidental music at the end of our film to create suspense and mystery. All these revisions were made to add a sense of reality and more suspense throughout our film. Throughout this new submission I learned how to edit sound and put it in the film, how to add special effects to titles, and how to work with PremierePro at a higher level.

Our target audiences are similar because teenagers go see movies with vulgar language and men go see movies about events they have experienced in their lifetime. "The Irishman...

In this film she is the teenage girl who is scared by a man in a black hoodie. We knew that Lily had a very projective voice and does not get stage fright in front of the camera or crowds. She was the perfect fit, us the directors, had in mind for our protagonist. Our next character was Lizzy, Lily's friend. We wanted to make it seem realistic, so we chose actual real life friends of Lily's for the film. Lizzy was picked for this role because she is very social and is funny.
