Abstract

Background: In the film industry, producers and distributors are responsible for producing quality films and ensuring they are effectively accessible to audiences. Therefore, the right distribution strategy is crucial to a film’s success in the market. Effective film distribution contributes to increased visibility of film works, revenue for producers and distributors, and awareness of film culture and stories. The same also applies to film production in Makassar. Local filmmakers often experience many obstacles in distributing films, ranging from limited budgets to the need for more screens due to a lack of audience enthusiasm. Therefore, marketing public relations is needed to reach the audience. Purpose: Therefore, analysing the barriers to distribution and promotion undertaken by filmmakers in Makassar is important to determine the proper distribution and promotion. Methods: This research uses qualitative research methods and uses a case study approach. Results: The research found that cinema remains the primary distribution channel for Makassar films despite limited screens and monopolistic practices. Filmmakers face challenges like unfavourable screening times and locations. Conclusion: Despite the rapid development of technology, cinema is still the most significant distribution and promotion dynamic. Even so, filmmakers can use alternative channels so that the right audience can consume films. In conducting the promotion, it is appropriate for Filmakker Makassar to use online media, offline media, and word of mouth. Through social media, promotion can reach a broader and faster audience; then, through offline media, such as roadshows, the filmmaker is able to attract support from various groups and local officials; the last is word of mouth. Community engagement can also attract potential audiences.

The research applied the Social Construction of Technology (SCoT) theory to analyze how social factors shaped and influenced technology. Results: In pre-production, technology helps with audience research and visual concept design; In the production stage, digital cameras increase image quality and flexibility. In post-production, advanced software allows for better editing and visual effects despite limited local experts; In distribution, it expanded from theaters to streaming platforms, reaching a wider audience. All stages benefit from better collaboration through digital tools. Conclusion: This study found that technology has significantly impacted all stages of filmmaking in Makassar.

Abstract

The state is an organization with a power structure and the population as members of the state. The state itself is an entity that interacts with other entities that can consist of other countries and their inhabitants, rules, and products. Because of this, a country needs an identity that can distinguish the country from other countries. The identity of a country is not the same as the identity of a product because a country is bound by history and images attached to foreign citizens’ minds. This inherent image is usually used to form a nation’s brand image. This study aims to discover how Malaysia’s nation brand image contributes to the trust of foreign nationals visiting their country by using a constructivist qualitative approach as a research method. It turns out that the results of the study show that the most powerful thing in determining Malaysia’s brand image is not tourism promotion. As a country with an image of different cultures, Malaysia will use this potential to visualize its tourism promotion to keep those images stronger. However, the experience of Indonesian citizens in interacting with the Malaysian state, with infrastructure, state norms, and citizens, is a determinant of how Indonesian citizens perceive Malaysia. What is inherent in the results of the experience of interacting in Malaysia is what Indonesian citizens will convey to others. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed to build a national brand image of Malaysia because what sticks in mind as an image of Malaysia in foreign nationals will show their trust in the country.
