Media evaluation question 1
Bulldog Film Distribution would be the most suitable distributor for the filmmaker's media product. As an independent UK film distributor, Bulldog focuses on smaller films that it distributes across all platforms in the UK only. This narrow scope makes films like the filmmaker's, which has a British nature, more likely to be considered. In contrast, large Hollywood studios like Warner Bros have an exclusively large global scope and budget that does not align with the filmmaker's smaller-scale project.
Task 3
Distribution involves delivering a completed media product to audiences through various channels like DVD, television, streaming, and merchandise. Some major film distributors are 21st Century Fox, DreamWorks, Paramount Pictures, Sony, and Disney/Pixar, which could deliver a film based on its genre and similarity to the distributor's past successful titles. The document considers whether the sample film would appeal only to UK audiences or have wider global appeal, as well as potential marketing strategies and release options.
Exhbition and synergy ppt 2011
The document discusses film exhibition in the UK. It explains that exhibition involves films being shown in cinemas as well as through various ancillary markets like VOD, DVD, streaming, and TV. The arrival of multiplex cinemas in the UK in 1985 disrupted the market by offering more screens and choice but also caused many small independent cinemas to close. Major film studios and exhibitors practice synergy by coordinating the release of a film across multiple platforms like movies, merchandise, and games to maximize profits.
Presentation3 distribution
The document discusses potential media institutions to distribute the low-budget independent British film "Coldstream" based on its target audience of 15-25 year olds and limited budget. It considers Film 4, Vertigo Films, and Lionsgate as options, noting Film 4's Oscar-winning successes, Vertigo's diverse genres and box office hit Street Dance 3D, and Lionsgate's productions of The Hunger Games trilogy and Twilight saga films. Social media is suggested as a cost-effective marketing method for "Coldstream" to reach its target audience.
Presentation1
Film distributors in the UK spend £300 million annually bringing new releases to audiences. They identify films' target audiences and develop release strategies to maximize box office returns. A film's performance in its first 3 days generates 30% of total sales. Distributors consider a film's marketability, playability, director and stars when planning saturation or specialized releases across 1000+ screens or select theaters, respectively, to best reach interested audiences.
Uk film industry as media
The British film industry has experienced several booms and recessions since the 1930s. In the 1990s, costume dramas and comedies like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Brassed Off found success. National Lottery funding and the British Film Council provided support. Key choices for the industry included low-budget films for mainstream British and art house audiences, as well as international co-productions. A successful film industry is important for Britain's economy, bringing in much of its revenue from outside the UK. Government support and production companies have aided development, though partnerships with US distributors are often needed to achieve large profits.
Evaluation question 3
Film 4 would be the most likely media institution to distribute the media product because it supports independent UK filmmakers and has distributed many successful small-scale British films. As a company that funds productions targeting local audiences, Film 4 provides opportunities for independent films to reach audiences and gain recognition in the industry. Other options for independent film distribution include smaller companies like Microwave that provide funding to promote young UK filmmakers, as well as national lottery grants awarded by the BFI to encourage British film production and distribution.

Shifty case study
This is a complex question without a straightforward answer. A film's success is usually determined by both its appeal and the resources devoted to distributing and marketing it. Here are a few key points:
- A highly appealing film is more likely to find an audience, but it still needs exposure through distribution and marketing channels to reach its potential viewers.
- Marketing and promotion help raise awareness of a film and convey what it's about, which is important for driving interest and ticket/DVD sales. This is especially true for independent films with limited budgets.
- Wider distribution through more cinemas and territories increases the chances of finding an audience. However, distribution is costly and not guaranteed to overcome lack of appeal.

What kind of media 1
Revolver Entertainment and Optimum Releasing are small, British independent film distributors that fund low-budget movies, making them good options to distribute the media product. Optimum Releasing previously distributed the independent British drama film "This is England" from 2006, directed by Shane Meadows, which reflected on political issues in 1980s Britain and was successful. As the media product was made on a low budget without many effects or stunts, these small distributors would be a good fit.
The film process
The key stages of the film process are production, distribution, marketing, and exhibition/consumption.
Production involves creating the film and arranging financing. Distribution gets the film to theaters and other platforms. Marketing uses techniques like trailers, ads, and publicity events to promote the film. Exhibition/consumption is when audiences view the film in theaters or at home.
Response to Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a British kidnap thriller film with a low budget of $1.5 million. It suggests that an independent British distribution company similar to CinemaNX, which successfully distributed the film "The Disappearance of Alice Creed", would be a good fit as they have experience with low-budget British thrillers. While smaller British companies like BBC Films or Film4 may be more likely to distribute a solely British film, they have less commercial success. A mainstream company like Sony could also potentially distribute the film widely and increase commercial success, since the film's genre, narrative structure, and rating make it appealing to a broad audience.
Presentation2
The document discusses which type of media institution would be best for distributing a low-budget horror film. It argues that a smaller, independent company like Warp Films would be more suitable than a major studio. Warp Films supports lower budget, culturally significant films. Examples like 28 Days Later were successful despite small budgets due to strong stories and characters. The summary also notes that the target audience for the film would be predominantly male ages 18-25, further supporting the choice of a smaller distributor suited for niche films within the mass market.
Film exhibition
The document discusses film exhibition, primarily in cinemas. It notes that films can be shown in festivals but the focus is on different types of cinemas and the films they show. The two main types of cinemas in the UK are multiplexes and independent cinemas. Multiplexes first arrived in the UK in the 1980s and were largely situated outside of towns. They were able to show a wide variety of films from different studios. Independent cinemas are typically smaller and show foreign, independent, and experimental films in renovated buildings. They offer a different experience compared to multiplexes.
Presentation2
A smaller distribution company like Warp Films would be more suitable than a major studio for my low-budget horror film. Warp Films focuses on culturally significant, niche films instead of large blockbusters. They have successfully distributed modestly budgeted horror films like 28 Days Later that found audiences through compelling stories and characters. My film would appeal to a specific target age and gender demographic, as is common for the horror genre, making it a niche product rather than mass market. A smaller company is more likely to take on a low-budget, specialized film.
Presentation2
- A smaller, independent film company like Warp Films would be more suitable than a major studio to distribute my low-budget horror film.
- Warp Films supports culturally relevant, grassroots films and has successfully distributed modestly budgeted horror films like 28 Days Later that had great stories and characters.
- My film also has a narrow target audience of 18-25 year old males, making it a niche product that a smaller company could more effectively promote.
Film Production Cycle
The key stages of the film process are production, distribution, marketing, and exhibition/consumption.
During production, a production company creates the film through pre-production, production, and post-production. Distribution involves releasing and sustaining the film in the marketplace through techniques like wide release, platform release, and limited release. Marketing employs strategies such as trailers, advertisements, publicity events, and product tie-ins to promote the film. Finally, exhibition makes the film experience available to audiences through cinema screenings and home media like DVDs, streaming, and TV broadcasts.
Distribution lesson1 24.11.11
Film distribution involves marketing films to audiences and exhibitors like movie theaters and television networks. A film distributor promotes and distributes films to maximize the number of viewers. For large studio films, the distributor is often affiliated with the studio. Independent films have a harder time finding distributors to help finance and promote their films. Distributors arrange for films to be shown in theaters, on television, and other platforms to generate revenue from ticket and disc sales.
Distribution lesson1 24.11.11
The document discusses how film distribution works, focusing on the role of distributors in marketing films to audiences and getting them exhibited in cinemas or on television. It notes the differences between film distribution systems in the US and UK, with US studios often controlling production and distribution, while UK distributor Film4 helped finance and distribute independent British films but struggled to appeal to both domestic and international audiences. The role of distributors in the film industry and challenges of independent films finding distribution are also examined.
Evaluation activity 3
This document discusses potential film distribution companies for a small, low-budget horror film production. It analyzes Film4, Lionsgate UK, and Studio Canal UK as options. Film4 is identified as the preferred choice as it specializes in smaller, UK-based films and has a track record of distributing successful horror titles. Though Lionsgate and Studio Canal also have experience with the genre, they tend to focus on higher budgets than the production being considered. Film4 could provide national distribution through its Channel 4 and E4 platforms, targeting younger audiences, and may allow global reach through partnerships.
Question 3
- Warp Films would be a good choice to distribute my low-budget film because they specialize in independently funding smaller, culturally relevant films.
- Their successful distribution of the low-budget horror film "28 Days Later" shows they are open to films with compelling stories and characters, even on a small scale, similar to my own film.
- My target audience of 18-25 year old males is quite niche, making a smaller production company a better fit than a large one focused on mass appeal.
EVALUATION.
The UK Film Council would be a suitable institution to distribute my media product. As a public body funded by the National Lottery, the UK Film Council supports both established and up-and-coming British film directors and backs hundreds of films. It aims to make the UK a global center for film and plays a key role in the country's cultural and economic success. The UK Film Council has partnerships with other film organizations and is focused on developing new talents, though it is selective in the films it chooses to back. Distributing through the UK Film Council would provide access to funding without budget constraints and help attract UK audiences to increase the niche audience for my thriller/social realism genre film.

The document discusses how the British film industry is influenced by Hollywood studios through co-productions and distribution deals. It notes that decisions about which British films to make and how to market them are often based on the tastes of American and domestic audiences. It also explains that Hollywood studios are large conglomerates that own different parts of the film production and distribution process, giving them power over the market. For the British film industry, this system can have drawbacks like profits not being reinvested domestically and a lack of control over distribution rights.
Film distribution
Film distribution is the competitive business of marketing and releasing films. Distributors are responsible for deciding release dates and theaters, advertising campaigns, and negotiating deals for home video and television releases. They aim to maximize revenue from theatrical showings, home video sales and rentals, pay-per-view, and television licenses. United International Pictures distributes films from major studios like Universal and Paramount internationally outside of North America.

Major film distributors that control much of the UK/Ireland market include United International Pictures, Warner Bros., Buena Vista, Twentieth Century Fox, Sony, Lionsgate, Walt Disney, Paramount, eOne Films, and Universal. The goal of distribution is to recoup the film's production costs and make a profit at the box office and through related merchandise.
Evaluation question 3
This document discusses potential options for distributing a horror/thriller film produced by the author. It analyzes several major distribution companies like Lionsgate and Film4 Productions and concludes they may not be the best fit due to the independent and low-budget nature of the film. It also discusses the possibility of using film funding companies like Creative England and the British Film Institute to fund production and self-distribution. Overall, the author determines that seeking production funding and self-distributing may be the best approach to ensure a profitable outcome, though success cannot be guaranteed.

The DCMS Jan 2012 Film Policy Review
The document summarizes the key points from the 2012 UK Film Policy Review conducted by Lord Smith. The review recommended that 1) producers should recoup funding from financially successful films to reinvest in future productions, 2) broadcasters like Sky and ITV should increase investment in British films, and 3) film education should be brought into every British school to develop new audiences. Some concerns about the review included that it may sideline independent films and focus funding only on commercial successes, which are difficult to predict. The overall goal appeared to continue supporting a wide range of British films and improve audiences for local films.
Horror film production companies
Hammer Films is a British film production company founded in 1934 and headquartered in London that is known for its horror films from the 1950s-60s such as The Curse of Frankenstein and Dracula. It was later sold to an investor who put £25 million towards new horror films in the 2000s including Let Me In and The Woman in Black.

It explains that vertical integration occurs when a company owns all steps of production, such as a company that owns a wheat farm, fertilizer company, and bakery.

Horizontal integration means one step of production is owned by a small number of companies, like one bakery owning all bakeries in an area. The document notes that Hollywood has realized there is money to be made internationally and invests heavily, keeping profits, while the British film industry relies on American distribution and sees little money returned. It challenges that the British industry

Radiographic film
X-ray film was originally recorded on glass plates but nitrocellulose film replaced them during WWI due to its greater feasibility. Double emulsion film was later found to respond faster to x-rays. By 1924, cellulose acetate replaced the flammable nitrocellulose film. Radiographic film consists of a polyester base and emulsion layers containing gelatin and light-sensitive silver halide crystals. Exposure to x-rays or light from intensifying screens causes a latent image in the crystals that is developed to produce the final image. Factors like contrast, speed, and spectral matching must be considered when selecting a film.

The film industry is dominated by six major studios that are part of large media conglomerates. These studios vertically integrate production, distribution, and exhibition to maximize profits. They produce big-budget blockbusters using established concepts to minimize risk. Studios distribute films through numerous windows to generate revenue, and use marketing synergies within their conglomerates. They give major films wide releases in multiplexes, which are more profitable than individual theaters. Independent distributors sell lower-budget art films, but successful companies are often acquired by conglomerates. Independent films strive for festivals to attract distributors for wider release due to limited access to major networks.

The film industry is dominated by six major studios that are part of large media conglomerates. These studios produce big-budget blockbuster films aimed at mass audiences using established concepts to minimize risk. They distribute films through numerous windows to generate multiple revenue streams. Conglomerates maximize profits through synergies where different business units collaborate based on successful film brands. Independent films have difficulty accessing major distribution networks and target niche audiences through film festivals and limited art house cinema releases.
Distribution and exhibition
Distribution involves releasing films in the marketplace and involves either vertical or horizontal integration models. Films are usually launched on Fridays and marketed through various traditional and new technologies. Film distribution has unique procedures where success or failure of theatrical releases determines subsequent home media releases. Distribution is transitioning to digital with encrypted files being sent directly to cinemas for screening.

This document provides an overview of the film industry, focusing on production, distribution, and exhibition. It discusses how films are funded and made (production), marketed and released in cinemas and other formats (distribution), and consumed by audiences paying to view films (exhibition). The document outlines the key roles of major studios and distributors in controlling distribution deals and prioritizing large Hollywood blockbusters over independent and foreign films. It also notes the challenges that increased costs of production and distribution pose to Hollywood studios and independent filmmakers.
Film distribution
This document defines key terms related to film distribution and explains the film distribution process. It discusses how major film studios and independent producers distribute films differently. Film distribution involves acquiring legal rights to show a film, marketing and releasing prints/files to cinemas and stores. It is important for distributors to strategically plan cinema releases and marketing campaigns to maximize box office profits. The transition to digital distribution and projection has made the process more efficient but also benefits larger studios.
Film distribution
Film distribution is the third part of the film supply chain and involves marketing and circulating completed films to audiences. A film distributor acts as an agent between the film production company and audiences. Distribution methods include promoting films in theaters, on DVD/Blu-ray, television, and merchandise. Successful Hollywood films can earn $120 million from box office and $60 million from DVD distribution, as well as $50 million from merchandising. The UK distribution business works to deliver large audiences for diverse film genres across local markets. Major film distribution companies include Universal, Paramount, Warner Bros., Disney, Sony, and others.
Film distribution
Film distribution involves getting films from production to exhibition through deals with cinemas, television networks, and other outlets. Major film distributors in the UK control much of the industry and prioritize distributing large Hollywood blockbusters. This makes it difficult for smaller distribution companies to get their films shown widely, as they have fewer resources for prints and promotion. The digital age has also made film distribution more challenging for independent distributors.
Q3 evaluation
The document discusses distributing a media production called "Joel Beckford: On The Run" through a major distributor in order to maximize profits. It recommends distributing the film through 20th Century Fox because they do not have a spy franchise and this would give the production opportunity. Major distributors contribute to 95% of films shown and help independent films find global success. The document also recommends promoting the film through social media, releasing it worldwide simultaneously to reduce piracy, releasing the DVD later to drive people to theaters, showing it in IMAX, and releasing it on streaming services like Netflix after the theatrical run.
Nnn
The document discusses different aspects of film marketing, including identifying the target audience, establishing unique selling points (USPs), and determining budgets for different marketing activities. It notes that marketing campaigns aim to identify what makes a film different from others in its genre in order to brand it as new and innovative. Both "above the line" costs like trailers and posters as well as "below the line" costs like premieres and interviews are considered. Cross-promotions with other companies and determining release strategies are also discussed.
Evaluation question 3
Summit Entertainment is a film production, distribution and sales company founded in 1991. They initially handled foreign film sales but later expanded into fully financing and producing their own films by the late 1990s. Summit distributes their films both theatrically and on home video formats internationally through partnerships with other major studios like Universal and Sony. As an independent studio with access to over $1 billion in financing, Summit would be capable of distributing films internationally but likely requires partnerships for domestic theatrical distribution in large markets like North America.
Film distribution
The document provides an overview of key concepts related to film distribution, including:
1) It defines film distribution as everything that happens between production and exhibition, including acquiring legal rights, marketing, and releasing prints/files to cinemas and stores.
2) It discusses major distributors that control much of the industry through vertical and horizontal integration, as well as the top 5 distributors in the UK.
3) It explains important distribution concepts like local distribution, the advantages of major studios over independent producers, and the transition to digital distribution and projection.
Global institutions and global audiences
Global institutions like Disney dominate media production through their vast financial resources that allow extensive marketing and distribution worldwide. However, independent films can still succeed globally with a quality product like "The King's Speech", which earned over $400 million despite a smaller budget and target audience. While institutions produce most films, independent companies demonstrate there is appetite for alternatives through viral marketing and a compelling story. Overall, global institutions largely control media production, but independent films can still achieve influence.
Revision institutions pdme and technology
The document provides information on the key aspects of film distribution including production, distribution, marketing, and exhibition. It discusses how films are financed and produced. It explains that distributors are responsible for printing copies of films and marketing them to audiences. Distribution involves positioning a film, circulating prints to cinemas, its release schedule, and extensive marketing. Marketing employs techniques like posters, trailers, advertising, promotions, and premieres. Films are then exhibited in cinemas globally and through home video platforms. Box office performance and revenues are important for recouping costs. New digital technologies are transforming distribution through simultaneous worldwide releases and electronic distribution.
Distribution
There are two competing views on who holds the most power in film distribution: 1) the audience, as studios are forced to cater to what audiences like through box office returns, or 2) the studios and distributors, who control marketing budgets and know which audiences will pay for their products. It is a complex issue with arguments on both sides. Distributors act as the link between filmmakers and audiences, handling theatrical release, home media, and television distribution. They must strategically plan release windows to maximize revenue across different platforms over time while avoiding conflicts. Power dynamics between studios, distributors, and audiences continue to evolve with changes in technology and consumption.
The british film industry2
The document discusses the British film industry and its relationship with Hollywood. It notes that British films have traditionally been reliant on Hollywood for funding and distribution, forcing filmmakers to sell intellectual property rights. More recently, British television and digital technologies are playing a larger role in the production and distribution of British films. The rise of social media and digital exhibition may allow British films more independence and autonomy in the future.

The boat that rocked (2009)
Based on the information provided, the target audience of The Boat That Rocked appears to be people who grew up in the 1960s and were fans of pirate radio stations and rock/pop music from that era. Some clues that indicate this:
- The film is inspired by the director's own childhood memories of listening to pirate radio stations like Radio Caroline in the 1960s.
- Much of the pre-release marketing involved partnerships with Radio Caroline to promote the authentic 1960s pirate radio experience to fans.
- The merchandise released like posters, albums and clothing seemed aimed at appealing to nostalgia for 1960s fashion and culture.
- The film premiered in London with many fans dressing in 1960s attire, suggesting the audience

- Avatar was a groundbreaking film that helped popularize modern 3D cinema through its use of motion capture and stereoscopic filming techniques. It became the highest grossing film of all time.
- Since Avatar, there has been a large increase in 3D films released but also some signs of fatigue from audiences as not all films are well-suited for the 3D format.
- Transformers: Dark of the Moon employed state-of-the-art 3D filming techniques that generated awe in viewers but its plot was seen as secondary to the technology. This highlights ongoing challenges around using 3D solely as a gimmick rather than enhancing the story.
Hollywood marketing
The marketing campaign for Cloverfield had a low budget but was highly successful. It targeted internet-savvy young people by releasing minimal information and clues over time to generate buzz and discussion online. This included a cryptic teaser trailer, a website with time-stamped photos, fictional character social media pages, and an alternate reality game, all encouraging speculation and demand to see the movie. Though traditional advertising was also used, the slow release of details and unanswered questions meant the only way to find answers was to see the film. This viral campaign established an entire fictional universe and left many plot points unresolved, fueling discussion and speculation about a potential sequel.
Hollywood production
Hollywood produces around 120 films per year with high production values through large budgets that afford special effects, big name actors, great scripts, and exotic locations. Blockbuster films in particular have massive budgets in the hundreds of millions of dollars. They are aimed at mass audiences and rely on merchandising like toys, drinks, and clothing to maximize profits beyond just box office totals. Spiderman 2 for example had a budget of $200 million, with $30 million going to script and character licensing, $100 million to the actual production shoot including $30 million for the cast led by Tobey Maguire, and $70 million for post-production effects and music. Additional tens of millions were spent on marketing the film for its
Stereotyping teens2
Stereotypes of teenagers are often reinforced by media representations and politicians looking to blame youth for social issues. However, the facts show that youth crime has declined in Britain while educational standards have risen. While some teenagers engage in anti-social behavior, most volunteer and are no more likely than adults to commit crimes. Negative stereotypes fuel "moral panics" about youth but ignore inequalities experienced by many teenagers today.
1950s 1960s teen subcultures
The document summarizes several 1950s-1960s teen subcultures in the UK, including Mods, Teds, Freaks, Hippies, and Bikers. Mods originated in London in the late 1950s and were known for modern jazz, soul, and R&B music as well as tailored Carnaby Street fashion. Teds adopted a working class style with long jackets, velvet collars, drainpipe trousers, and brothel creepers. Freaks in the late 1960s listened to artists like Bowie and Pink Floyd and had long hair and alternative gatherings. Hippies in the 1960s embraced psychedelic rock, drugs, and simple lifestyles as part of a
Collective identity 2011
Collective identity refers to a shared sense of belonging to a group based on real or imagined attributes. It is a perception that may be constructed rather than directly experienced. Scholars debate whether collective identity is more a social construction imposed by outsiders rather than a true reflection of one's identity. The document discusses how young people's identities are often represented negatively in media through dominant images but they also create their own subcultures and collective identities through music, art, fashion and lifestyle choices. It tasks students to create a self-representation chart considering individual and collective identities as well as conscious choices of included and excluded images and their connotations.
Magazine front covers inspiring
Magazine covers employ various artistic approaches to attract readers' attention. Some magazines use provocative images to spark controversy and discussion. Effective covers balance artistic expression with commercial objectives to increase sales and engagement.
Collective identity 2011
Collective identity refers to a shared sense of belonging to a group based on real or imagined attributes. It is a perception that may be constructed rather than directly experienced. Collective identities can be imposed by outsiders and depend on some acceptance by those they are applied to. The document discusses how collective identities are mediated and often more a construction than a true reflection. It explores how young people are represented in media with dominant negative images and how they create their own subcultures and collective identities with their own values and codes of conduct.
Magazine front covers controversial and inspiring
This document discusses magazine front covers and focuses on Rolling Stone's most controversial covers as well as artistic approaches to covers. It also provides a link to further reading on music magazine covers from The Guardian.
Music video narrative
The document discusses narrative theory and its application to analyzing music videos. It addresses how to examine the narrative structure, characterization, conflict, and use of technical elements like music, editing and mise-en-scene to tell the story. Key questions are posed about how the narrative is organized, how the viewer relates to characters, and how sound and visuals work together to convey themes. Common narrative types in music videos like performance, narrative and conceptual are described.
Video games
This document discusses representations of gender and masculinity in video games. It notes that many early adventure and beat 'em up games were designed by male developers for male audiences and featured stereotypical masculine themes. While the gaming audience has grown more diverse, representations of females tend to emphasize sexualization and stereotypes like the damsel in distress. The document also examines claims about effects of violent games and discussions around improving representation and diversity in games.
Images of modern men
The document examines representations of masculinity in media from the 1930s to present day. It provides examples of iconic images from advertising in different decades that promoted idealized versions of manhood, often emphasizing strength, independence, and heterosexuality. More recently, representations have become more complex and varied, incorporating vulnerability and highlighting the socially constructed nature of gender roles. The document also discusses the potential influence of unrealistic media images on men's self-esteem and body image.
Fight club confused masculinity
This document discusses how the story of Fight Club explores modern men's confusion over masculine identity and roles. It provides three examples: (1) the narrator's emasculated life pre-Fight Club, focused on materialism without real connections; (2) a testicular cancer support group whose members failed to fulfill traditional roles; and (3) the Fight Club group, which initially seems to offer answers but ultimately devolves into another empty form of confused masculinity through its neo-fascist Project Mayhem plans.
Videogames
Videogames are an important medium to study alongside film for media examinations. While videogames share similarities with film as a contemporary media, they differ in that players are both the audience and actively participate through gameplay. Many early videogames, especially adventure and beat 'em up genres, tended to represent masculinity through themes of violence, misogyny, and portraying men as thuggish and women as victims or sexual objects. Although the average gamer is now older, historically most games were designed by mostly male developers for a perceived core male audience.

Distribution and exhibition
- 1. Distribution and Exhibition Further info KKS
- 2. Major Studios are vertically, horizontally and laterally integrated and are now part of massive media conglomerates which has created an ‘oligopoly’ in the film industry, the so called ‘Big Six.’ Big budget Blockbusters often follow the ‘high concept’ model in order to appeal to a mass audience. Films are often sequels, prequels and remakes or based upon a successful book, TV programme or even video game to minimise financial risk and to increase profit. Ownership and Production – The Hollywood Majors
- 3. Most Hollywood films are distributed directly by the studio which financed the film. In the UK the cinema box office is dominated by a handful of major distributors. In any year, the 5 major distributors will account for 90% of the box-office rentals. Film Distribution in the UK
- 4. Distribution is the most important sector of the industry. Studios create numerous ‘distribution windows’ in addition to theatrical exhibition to generate more revenue; A successful film brand can be ‘sold’ in a number of different ways apart from theatrical exhibition, for example: DVD/Bluray On Demand TV Network TV Internet Downloads Soundtrack albums Video games Novelisations Merchandising Distribution – The Hollywood Majors
- 5. Conglomerates will try to use synergy within sectors of the corporation to maximise profit. For example a soundtrack album could be produced by the record company, a novel could be produced by the publishing house, a video game could be produced within the computer software division etc. Synergy is where multiple products and services are created on the basis of a successful brand within the same corporation. Every ‘spin off’ product or service helps create interest in the film, hopefully improving box office receipts and DVD sales. More money is spent upon marketing and advertising a major studio film than was previously the case. Press junkets are organised by distributors to generate press interest. For a major blockbuster the marketing and advertising budget may will exceed production costs in order to stimulate demand and get people into the cinemas/buy DVDs. This would have been unthinkable during the studio era. Distribution (cont) – The Hollywood Majors
- 6. Top 20 Box Office Films in 2004:
- 7. The Exhibitors (cinema chains) in 2004: Only Showcase remains in American hands, but all the other chains are deeply committed to distributing American films.
- 8. A Hollywood blockbuster is released ‘wide’ (or ‘blanket’ or ‘saturation’)with one or more prints sent to each multiplex. Typically 400-500 prints, each costing £1000. So, a significant investment. The wide release depends on blanket promotional and advertising coverage for the first weekend to create a ‘buzz’ about the film. Free trailer packages and electronic press kits are sent to radio and TV stations and newspapers. Preview screenings for journalists are arranged. Stars give interviews and newspaper and TV advertising guarantees exposure. Cost – over £1m but rely on opening £2m or more at box office Typical Practice: Wide Release
