Set Your Content Distribution Strategy Right, from the World Go! |
There are no points for guessing why the
market for content has opened up so much in the entertainment industry
recently. It is definitely because of the number of platforms that have emerged
in the recent times. Making movies has also become not-so-expensive. Anybody
with a good digital camera, a small yet good team can produce amazing films!
Although everything looks very romantic from the outside, there are some harsh
truths that need to be considered as well.
Since filmmaking has become a bit
easier, what matters the most today is the content. Content definitely is the
King that separates mediocre, good and extraordinary films. Amidst all this
mayhem, what has become even more crucial is content distribution. What is the
point in making a film and keeping it in the backburner for years? All that
money and effort almost goes into the drain if the film is talking about
something very contemporary. A few years down the line, the film would become
obsolete and not-so-relatable.
It is always advised that even before the
film is made, you need to think some sound content distribution strategies so
that you are not running towards a dead end or fighting a lost battle. There
are many content distribution companies in India which already have their
markets and networks all over the world.
All you have to do is tie up with one of the content distribution companies and they would take the onus of distributing your films worldwide.
Over the years, sensibilities of audiences
have also changed as they are exposed to a whole variety of films. Most indie
films today are taken to different content markets and festivals before they
are screened in their respective countries. So basically content distribution
companies help you sell the film before they are released. What you make after
the theatrical release is a bonus. Also when your content is distributed via
various international markets, you start getting a sense of what the response
is like. To top it, your film gets a lot of traction if it has done the
festival rounds before it is screened. More people are curious of watching a
critically well-acclaimed film that has got a good response.
Yes. Strategy is everything.. Thanks for sharing this information on Content Distribution!
