Question 3
Retina Productions is a small, independent film distribution company that specializes in distributing independent films. The company will have a restricted local release of a low-budget film called Love into six independent cinemas around East London for one week. They will sell 100 DVDs of the film outside each cinema and have promoted it through social media and low-cost posters and flyers in East London due to their limited budget.
Q3
This document discusses potential media institutions that might distribute an independent, low-budget British thriller film called "Homeless". It suggests that regional independent cinemas like Picturehouse cinemas would be most likely exhibitors, specifically CinemaCity in Norwich where the film is set. It also argues online streaming services like LoveFilm and Channel 4 or Film4 television would provide good outlets for wider audiences due to their experience distributing similar British films. Mainstream cinema chains and most UK broadcasters are seen as less suitable due to their focus on large, mainstream audiences.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses potential distributors for an independent, low-budget film with a dark tone and 15 rating. It analyzes Warner Bros, Disney, Film4, and Microwave. Warner Bros and Disney are ruled out as they focus on big-budget blockbusters. Film4 and Microwave are presented as the most viable options as they specialize in smaller, British films and have experience supporting independent productions through funding and distribution. Microwave in particular offers financing up to £25,000 and has successfully distributed similar small, local films to UK audiences.
Institutional research
A film distributor is responsible for releasing films and connecting film production to exhibitors. They distribute films to cinemas and for home viewing through various sub-distributors. Different distributors focus on different genres and target audiences. The BBC Film Network focuses on distributing short British films online and providing resources for filmmakers. DNA Films is an independent UK production and distribution company known for films like 28 Days Later. Paramount and Warner Bros are major Hollywood studios that distribute blockbuster films worldwide.
Question 3
Film 4 and Warner Bros are traditional distributors that handle marketing and exhibition of films. Warner Bros is suited to larger budget blockbuster films while Film 4 focuses on smaller, British films. Microwave, funded by the BFI and BBC Films, helps produce and distribute independent films with budgets up to £25,000. They have had successful films that made returns despite small budgets. Given the dark tone, 15 rating, and low budget of the document's film, Film 4 and Microwave would be most viable to distribute it as they have experience with similar independent, local audience-targeted films.
Distribution
The document discusses several UK film distribution companies:
- Hammer Film Productions, known for Gothic horror films from the 1950s-1970s with low budgets but lavish sets.
- Dogwoof Pictures distributes documentaries and foreign films in the UK.
- The UK Film Council was set up in 2000 to develop and promote the UK film industry using National Lottery funds.
- Revolver Entertainment is a UK marketing and distribution company that has released films in various genres, including thrillers.
The most appropriate distributors for the low-budget UK film "Paperchain" would be the UK Film Council, to promote the domestic film industry, or Revolver Entertainment given their experience with similar genres.
Film exhibition
This document provides information about three different cinema options in the UK:
Cineworld Milton Keynes, The BFI Southbank, and The Rex Cinema in Berkhamsted. It summarizes the facilities, types of films shown, audiences catered to, locations, and some potential issues for each: multiplex cinemas like Cineworld versus independent cinemas like The BFI and The Rex. The document also discusses how the internet has changed film exhibition by allowing audiences to watch films online through services like Netflix and Amazon, as well as helping film companies market to wider audiences.
Independent vs mainstream cinemas
This document summarizes 10 different cinemas in the UK, including both mainstream cinemas like Odeon and Cineworld and independent cinemas like Prince Charles Cinema and Shortwave Cinema. It provides details on the types of films shown at each cinema, noting that mainstream cinemas primarily screen major blockbuster films while independent cinemas focus more on art films and smaller productions. The document suggests that independent cinemas attract more film-focused audiences interested in unique cinematic experiences, while mainstream cinemas appeal more broadly to families and those seeking popular films.

The document outlines the pre-production schedule and tasks for creating an opening title sequence. It allocates time from March 10th to 13th for researching existing title sequences to understand how they are structured. Each day will involve 2 hours of research. Planning activities include practicing different camera shots and angles to incorporate variety into the title sequence, as well as creating a storyboard prior to filming to improve time efficiency and organization. The same durations will be used for both the research and planning phases of pre-production.
Titles and credits
The document describes the title sequence for the 2013 film Evil Dead. It lists 21 shots that make up the title sequence. Each shot features a film credit such as the director, actors, or production designers in a bold red font to match the slasher film genre.

This document discusses the font, title, color, text, and animation planning for an opening title sequence (OTS). It states that the group decided to use Park Avenue typestyle because it is fancy and appealing. The colors will be red and black to relate to the slasher genre. The text will be small so it doesn't distract from the video but still readable. The animation will use either left-right or fade in/out transitions which seem more dramatic than other options. The text will start before the first shot, showing the production company, and continue during the OTS.
W smith assignment 40
The group decided to use Park Avenue typestyle for the opening title sequence (OTS) as it is quite fancy and appealing for viewers. The colors used will be red and black to relate to the slasher subgenre and grab audience attention when needed. The text size will be quite small so it doesn't distract from the OTS but is still readable. Animations will use left to right/right to left transitions or fade ins/outs which seem more dramatic. The text will begin before the first shot showing the production company, and credits will continue during the OTS.
Actors
The document describes three main actors in a film: Ollie Murray, who is bullied by the killer but seen in most shots and is a victim; Josh O'Reilly, who is first seen as the main bully but is later killed by the killer in a gory scene; Will Smith, who is initially a victim but is revealed to be the killer, appearing in scenes linking the film to the slasher genre.
Risk Assessment
Designating a specific person to create checklists of all equipment and props needed and double checking that everyone brings the correct clothing and gear can help mitigate the risks of forgetting items like cameras or tripods. Checking weather reports and ensuring safe stunt practices like soft landings can help lower risks from injuries or unfavorable conditions. Verifying medical information and careful handling of props can reduce risks of allergic reactions or body part injuries. Fully charging equipment beforehand reduces the chance of devices powering down prematurely during filming.
editing schedule
The document outlines Will, Tom, Josh and Ollie's editing schedule for their first and final drafts. They will edit their first draft daily from March 25th to April 1st from 1:30-3:05 pm, and on the 25th and 1st they will edit until 7:00 pm. They will edit their final draft daily from April 22nd to 29th from 1:30-4:30 pm, and on April 8th and 15th they will edit the first few scenes from 1:30-7:00 pm. This schedule allocates significant time for thorough editing of both drafts.
Revised pitch
Two boys get ready for a party but one forgets his wallet and returns home, where he finds his friend has been killed by an unknown assailant. As he flees in fear, he receives a threatening text message. The film draws inspiration from the graphic violence of Reservoir Dogs and the quiet yet deadly killer from the film Sim City. It aims to stand out by featuring two male leads rather than the more common male-female pairing seen in other films.
Asssignment 10
This document summarizes several films and their opening title sequences. It analyzes whether the OTS is linear, non-linear, or symbolic and notes interesting or effective elements. Films discussed include True Detective, The Conjuring, The Last of Us, Evil Dead, Bad Santa, Silent Hill, The Walking Dead, Zombieland, The Thing, The Fall, and Dexter. For Dexter, it notes the OTS is linear and subtly references the main character as a serial killer, establishing the psychological subgenre and Miami setting. It explores how the OTS challenges conventions and represents the main character as a normal man to contrast his true nature.
Target audience
The document discusses target audiences for different film genres including home invasion, slasher, and ghost/spirit films. It provides demographic information on the typical target audiences for these genres, which tend to be 15-35 years old and mostly male. Interview responses about home invasion films indicate audiences expect elements of suspense, violence, and danger from an unknown stalker. Feedback from audiences suggests they want to see suspense, violence, a mysterious stalker, and a normal house setting that creates jump scares.
Mass vs niche audience
Horror films typically have niche audiences rather than mass audiences. A niche audience is smaller but more influential than a mass audience, which consists of a large, varied group of people who enjoy mainstream or popular films. There are three main subgenres of horror films - home invasion, ghosts/spirits, and slasher. Home invasion films like The Purge target younger audiences aged 14-25, especially males due to the action. Ghost/spirit films like The Grudge target those aged 15-35, with more male viewers. Slasher films like Friday the 13th target those aged 15-24 and have a higher male viewership due to graphic violence, though still appeal to 30% of females.
