Paramount Pictures would be a suitable distributor for the film "Recollection" for several reasons:
1) Paramount has a history of distributing successful films similar in style to "Recollection" like "Shutter Island".
2) Paramount takes risks on films that could be big successes or failures, so they may take a chance on "Recollection".
3) Paramount has a strong track record of producing good films, so distributing "Recollection" could be worthwhile for them.

An independent production company called 17 Productions created a movie with a limited cast and crew due to a low budget. This type of youth drama film is most likely to be distributed by an independent company like 17 Productions or Deadline Entertainment rather than a major studio, as reflected in the simple title sequence with few credits. The small budget size required restricting elements to fit within financial means.

An independent company would likely distribute the film "Patient Zero" because it has a limited budget, unknown actors, and would be watched on a small scale. It would be filmed in accessible local locations to cut costs and wouldn't have extravagant worldwide distribution. Icon Film Distribution would be a good fit as they have experience distributing similar small, low-budget psychological thrillers in the UK like "Triangle" and "Felicia's Journey".

Their first film, "The Espionage," is an action/thriller targeting teenagers and adults with a budget of £2 million. They chose the small distributor Optimum Releasing due to its size being a good fit and genre suiting the film.

Our production company logo incorporates the initials of group members Paige, Jebba, Lana and Rebecca in black and red letters with a paint brush effect, to represent evil themes. Production companies are responsible for filming, funding, and developing new media like TV shows and films. Film distributors handle release dates and home/TV viewings, and can be individual people or companies. We would choose Maxim Media Marketing Film Distributors because they have successfully distributed similar genre films internationally. Our low-budget British horror film could be funded by Film4, a British digital channel that funds lesser known films. Film titles are important to credit all involved and attract interest from fans of well-known directors.

A production company is responsible for the actual production of a film, including funding, distribution to film studios and cinemas, and promoting the film. The authors chose Paramount Pictures as their production and distribution company because it is a large, well-known studio that could ensure their film was seen widely in cinemas across the UK. A distributor is responsible for releasing films to the public through theatrical screenings or home video formats like DVD. Paramount has its own distribution arm, making it a simpler option. The authors felt Paramount had a wide variety of genres it distributed and their psychological thriller would fit with films like Shutter Island the studio had previously distributed.

The document discusses the production and distribution of the film "The Unknown" by AMP Productions and 500 Distribution Co. AMP Productions took inspiration from other low-budget independent film companies like Big Talk Productions and Blumhouse Productions. While low budgets limit technology and big stars, they allow for more creative freedom and opportunities for new talent. 500 Distribution Co. will have a smaller release for "The Unknown" compared to major studios due to lower marketing/advertising budgets and an online-only distribution model.
Film piracy
Film piracy involves illegally copying and distributing movies through various means. It has become popular in Britain as a cheap or free way for people to watch films without buying them legally or going to the cinema. However, film piracy has negative effects on the film industry. It causes studios to lose potential earnings, forces them to increase prices, and can lead to job losses and fewer films being made as budgets decrease over time. While it allows some free access to films, film piracy also provides lower quality versions and takes profits away from filmmakers.

Low budget v high budget
Man of Steel had a budget of $225 million and was produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, while The Inbetweeners Movie had a much smaller budget of $5.7 million and was distributed by Entertainment Film Distributors. Warner Bros. Pictures is a major Hollywood studio that produces big-budget blockbusters, while Entertainment Film Distributors focuses on lower budget films in the UK. As a result, Man of Steel made over $660 million at the box office compared to $88 million for The Inbetweeners Movie. Choosing the right production and distribution company is important to secure an appropriate budget and marketing support based on the scale and ambitions of the film.
Question 3
Paramount Pictures would be a suitable institution to distribute the media product because it has a long history of high quality film and TV production using skilled professionals and advanced equipment. Though Paramount produces large-scale blockbuster films, this film was inspired by Psycho, one of Paramount's most famous and influential films. While the film may not meet Paramount's usual standards, distributing with Paramount could provide access to major advertising opportunities.
Warp Productions would also be a reasonable choice as the film is set locally like Warp's films. Though Warp has a smaller budget and audience reach than major studios, distributing with Warp would be less pressure on resources. However, Warp's more limited publicity could restrict the

The document discusses a small, British independent film company that focuses on social realism films with low budgets. They worked with three other companies to fund, produce, and distribute their film: a larger independent film company that lent money and helped with production; a Hollywood sports film company that enhanced their budget and experience; and a distributor that specializes in independent, low-budget films. Their company idents for the film openings were kept very simple and minimalist to not distract from the social realism genre or make the film seem more Hollywood.
Question 3
AnchorBay Entertainment would be a suitable distributor for the documentary title sequence. As they distribute films targeting teenagers and urban adults, like Honeytrap, they could reach the intended audience for the title sequence. AnchorBay distributes films nationwide digitally and theatrically. Additionally, the title sequence could be distributed online on platforms like Vimeo or in DVD format. Being distributed by a well-known company like AnchorBay would help the title sequence gain more exposure and popularity among teenage viewers.

The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a new production company's media product. It suggests that film festivals are a good option, as major production companies scout for new ideas at festivals and may promote or acquire independent films. Online distribution through platforms like YouTube or Netflix is also discussed as a profitable option with low costs. The production company could also partner with smaller companies like Isle of Man Films or directly distribute to streaming services and retailers like Amazon to market the film online and on streaming devices. Physical distribution methods like DVD or Blu-ray releases are also mentioned.

The document discusses independent film companies, conglomerate film companies, and three potential film studios - EON Productions, Universal Pictures, and Lionsgate Entertainment - for partnering to produce a spy/action fiction film and movie trailer. EON Productions would be a good fit since they produce James Bond films, but would require an additional deal with a distributor. Universal Pictures and Lionsgate are large conglomerates that handle both production and distribution, which would reduce costs. The movie trailer being produced would fit in the marketing stage of the film life cycle.

Our film will be distributed by the independent production company February Films and distribution company Jaman. As a low budget student film, a larger mainstream production or distribution company would not be suitable.

As we are independently produced and not owned by a major conglomerate, we will rely on online platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr to distribute the film and reach our target audience.

The document discusses potential film distribution companies for the author's horror film project. Lionsgate Films and Film4 Productions are considered as they have experience distributing horror and low-budget films. While Lionsgate has been successful with horror franchises, their American base puts the author at a disadvantage. Film4 specializes in drama but has also distributed some horror films, and they often work with low budgets. Warner Bros is rejected due to only distributing big-budget blockbusters, which does not match the author's smaller-scale project. Lionsgate and Film4 are deemed the most suitable options due to their experience with similar genres and budgets.

As an independent film, it had limitations like a small budget and no CGI effects. However, it also gave the filmmakers more creative freedom. The independent nature meant less marketing than major companies, but online distribution and film festivals could still help it reach its target audience.

This document discusses film distribution options for a low-budget UK film set in London about teenagers. It suggests that smaller independent distributors like Vertigo Films would be more suitable than major studios like 20th Century Fox. Vertigo can't spend as much on advertising but could distribute the film in some cinemas. Self-distributing could give more control over promotion but may lack industry contacts and expertise to distribute it properly. Releasing during the Easter holidays when few other films are out could help it avoid getting overshadowed.
What kind of media institution might distribute your
Working Title Films would be more suitable than Paramount Pictures for distributing our thriller film Flash due to Working Title's focus on British films and talent as well as their ability to work with smaller budgets. While Working Title has fewer resources for marketing than Paramount, their connections could help the film find audiences in the UK and beyond. Self-distribution is also an option but comes with challenges around marketing, legal issues, and audience reach.
Institutions evaluation
This document discusses the key institutions involved in the production, distribution, exhibition, and regulation of a media text. It describes choosing Hammer Films as both the production company and distributor due to their experience with horror and psychological thriller films. It also discusses exhibiting the film on subscription streaming services like Netflix for broad exposure to their target audience, and regulating the film as a 15 rating due to its violent and dark content.
Audience
The document discusses the target audience, production companies, budget, age classification, and features of a new film. The target audience is late teens interested in a change from typical action films, and the mystery/action/thriller elements may attract more girls due to the starring role. The production companies, Miramax and Bad Robot Productions, are experienced with similar genres. The budget is estimated at £8 million, requiring less well-known stars like Pulp Fiction. The age classification is 15 to target late teens and make more money. The film contains action and thriller elements to attract its target audience of older teenagers and young adults.
Question 3
The document evaluates potential distributors for a psychological horror movie. It suggests that Lionsgate would be the best distributor since they have successfully distributed similar low-budget horror movies like Saw and Bug. Lionsgate specializes in horror films and has a large market share and revenue. Self-distribution is not recommended due to the challenges of securing theater showings and large-scale advertising.
Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses a film production called MELD Productions and their choice of distributor, Black Robin. MELD Productions is an independent company with a low-budget teen psychological thriller that uses quality equipment but no big stars or CGI. Black Robin is a smaller distributor that would give the film a limited, national release with less marketing. They are well-suited to distribute the independent, low-budget film.

Q
- 1. Question 3 By Devon Muller
- 2. Production Company • Lionhall is a small independent film company. • Lionhall was our production company chosen to produce our teen film because of their qualities in producing independent films. Also they are experts in the genre of comedy which also helped as our teen film is essentially a comedy film. • This instantly makes them perfect to produce our teen film as our film is based in Seattle as well. • Also the fact our teen film is a low budget independent movie also helps as it specialises in that particular level of film production.
- 3. Distribution Company • LMA Company were chosen to be our distribution company. • They too are American based and specialise in the production of small, independent, American films. • This therefore makes them perfect to distribute our film due to their knowledge of distributing independent films.
- 4. Positives and Negatives of Lionhall Positives Negatives The use of this company allows young crew members and actors to gain valuable work experience which may push them on to bigger and better paying jobs at much bigger companies. Due to the films low budget, we did’nt have access to big named actors/actresses. Pretty much all of the profitable money goes straight to the owner of the film. Also we had reduced access to expensive post-production such as, CGI. You have more creative freedom with the film as well. We had less access to high quality equipment and effects. It also meant we had a smaller, inexperienced crew.
- 5. Positives and Negatives of LMA Company Positives Negatives Relaxed timing of release. Not much money for advertising. Our film is cheap to distribute. Will probably only get a small audience. Likely to do well at film festivals and do well in the small industry in general. Release could be restricted. Not a lot of technology to distribute the film.
