Hello Year 12! I am marking your coursework.

Make notes on how The Force Awakens has been distributed to audiences for home viewing, as opposed to cinema.


  • What formats is it available on? 
  • Why is it available on different formats? 
  • What is the advantage of this for the distributor and Disney?
  • Have some distributors (such as iTunes) any exclusive features that others lack? Why do you think this is? 
  • How does the home distribution of The Force Awakens differ from; 
    • A Field In England (In terms of format, sales figures, and release windows) 
    • Another independent British film released at a similar period (i.e. in the last three months)
