PART TWO

Warp films was founded in 1999 by Warp records but Warp records was founded by Rob Mitchel and Steve Beckett so what had happened is after their record company they decided to create a film company and achieved this with distinction. But sadly Rob passed away in 2001 and Steve decided to carry on with Warp films and produced their first short film in 2002 called ‘ My wrongs’ and one a BAFTA the following year for best short film.

I think they would distribute our film as it is and interesting plot and threw market research and interviews there is a great interest for our type of film and I also think. Also as a new comer in the industry I feel as if Warp being an independent British company would sympathise and take on the challenge.

First of all in a general statement my film fits in with the companies general ethos because it is a low budget production and produced by a British production team which is one of their core values in the way that they really put Britain on the map of British film making.

This is evident because Warp won the Channel four low budget tender scheme meaning they obviously have a desire for low budget productions and making them of a high standard and turning over a high gross profit, which is very suitable for our film.

They would market the film as cost effective as possible as it would be low budget but this doesn’t mean it would be of low quality. For example some ideas would be exploiting the use of social media such as Facebook as its cheap and has a huge audience of 1,000,000,000 users, YouTube is another great way to advertise as it is also cheap and the use of YouTube stars can arouse conversation on expectations for a small fee. Another personal favourite of mine would be a publicity stunt such as false rumours to make the topic trending. This would be easy to do as I already know that Warp do advertise on Facebook and YouTube so they would have greater knowledge than my self on how to market the film.

I would not say that warp have a special genre but they do have films alike ours such as Four lions which even though it is a comedy it tackles controversial grounds and has suspense and thrills within.

Warp does not have a specific target audience but if I had to say I would say it was in the demographic of 18- 40’s as the films they distribute are contemporary yet intellectual at times hence why the target audience would start at 18 and above.
