A producer oversees and delivers a media product to all relevant audiences while, and the same time preserves the voice and vision of the product. Some will often take personal financial risk by using their own money, especially during the early stages of production period, before the product is fully financially supported.
The producer is often active throughout the journey of the production, from development through to the completion and delivery of the media product. However, a concept can originate from any individual, such as screenwriters, directors, etc.
What is a distributer?
An organisation that is involved in the marketing process of a product, making it available for the consumer.
E.g. Miramax Films and Universal Studios distribute films via cinema release or home viewing (DVD, Blu-ray, download, television, etc.)
Period Drama & Distribution Companies
Working Title - Elizabeth(&Elizabeth The Golden Age)/Atonement/Pride & Prejudice/Nanny McPhee
Miramax Films - Emma/Becoming Jane/The Importance of Being Earnest/Mansfield Park
Universal Studios - Robin Hood/Nanny McPhee Returns/Pride & Prejudice/The Musketeer
Paramount Pictures - The Duchess/Sleepy Hollow
From this information, I would conclude that 'Working Title' would be the most likely company to distribute 'Devotion'. Already, Working Title are distributing similar products to our film, such as Atonement and Pride & Prejudice, which were the main influence during the planning stages. This would mean that the company have a wide knowledge of the target audience for period drama's and would therefore know which areas to target effectively. I feel that Working Title would be the distribution company I would pick to market our product.
