Would they be interested in publishing my film?

Yes, my film would have an interesting storyline and would appeal to various age groups. In terms of quality, acting and plot, I think they would be interested in my film. This is because my product will be similar to films they have dealt with in the past, the example for this being the list of sports films listed above. Also, warner has no popular sport films to do with athletics, so it will be beneficial to them because it draws in a wider audience.

How will this affect my ideas?

This will influence me to showcase my production and increase its level of appeal by associating big-name productions along with my production, whether it be film or distributor. Already, it is set for high standards and is a reminder of overall quality whilst making the trailer – motivation to live up to the names it has been associated with.

At the same time, it appeals to my audience because the films and distributor it is paired up with – expectations and standards are already set at a high bar, allowing people to have a great justified interest in seeing my production, curious to whether my production could be just as good in quality and representation as the distributor film company and films it was said to be constructed similarly too.

For example, “from the makers of fast girls” or, “Made by Universal Studios”
