Universal Pictures or 20th Century Fox would be good choices to distribute a new drama film influenced by "Rush" (2013) due to their experience handling large budgets and special effects needs. Universal has distributed big-budget car films like Fast & Furious 7, while 20th Century Fox has handled some of the highest-grossing films ever with budgets over $200 million for Avatar and Titanic. Their experience with large-scale productions and genres like action dramas would help maximize distribution for a new film seeking a $100 million budget and wide release.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
This document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a low-budget independent UK film called "The Echoing." It analyzes several options, including independent UK distributors like Optimum Releasing and Revolver Entertainment, as well as larger studios. It determines that Optimum Releasing or Revolver Entertainment would be the most suitable choices, as they specialize in independent films and UK-only distribution, which matches the film's limited scope and budget. Bigger studios aiming for worldwide tentpole releases are deemed unsuitable due to their higher costs and ambitions beyond the film's means.
Sam Bellman Institution Task
The document compares the low-budget film The Blair Witch Project and the high-budget film The Hangover in terms of their production companies, budgets, box office earnings, and target audiences. The Blair Witch Project was independently produced for $500,000-$750,000 by the little-known company Haxan and grossed $248 million worldwide. In contrast, The Hangover had a $35 million budget from the major studio Warner Bros and grossed $467.5 million. Haxan typically produces horror and thriller films for audiences 15 and older while Warner Bros produces a variety of genres targeting those 18 to 34.
Question 1
Our film, titled "MINE" and about a stalker plotting to kill her ex's girlfriend, would be best distributed by Working Title due to their association with Universal Studios, which would provide access to American actors and a $35 million budget for production and marketing. Failing that, as a small independent production company, we would likely use smaller UK distributors like Warp X, Film4, or ones funded by the BFI and National Lottery, and submit our film to film festivals around the country.
UK Film Distribution For Our Film
Slide share of what the UK film distribution industry is, how it works and what company I would ideally have to distribute my AS media film.
Warner bros
Warner Brothers is a global entertainment company founded in 1923 that leads the film, television, and entertainment industries. It has produced hugely successful franchises like Harry Potter and Batman. The company is owned by Time Warner and produces around 20 films per year with an annual global box office of over $4 billion in recent years. Warner Brothers has extensive studio facilities in Burbank, California and a long history of producing acclaimed films, cartoons, and television programs.
Warner bros. ownership lesson
Warner Bros is owned by the conglomerate Time Warner which owns various media companies. This cross-media ownership allows Warner Bros to earn billions annually which provides large budgets for film production and distribution. As Warner Bros owns DC Entertainment, it can make films using the thousands of DC comic characters which have built-in fan bases. For example, The Dark Knight Rises characters are all from DC comics. Warner Bros was able to invest $250 million in production which funded special effects and A-list stars, and distribute the film widely on its owned platforms like HBO.
British and american film
The document provides a historical overview of British and American cinema from the late 19th century to the 2000s. It notes that early silent films were short clips shown before 1910, and pioneers like the Lumiere Brothers experimented with techniques. Charlie Chaplin became the first Hollywood star in the 1910s. Sound was introduced in the late 1920s. Iconic directors from the 1930s-1960s included Alfred Hitchcock and influential actors included James Dean. Popular genres of the 1990s-2000s included action, comedy, animation, and superhero films from directors like Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino.
Task 3
This document discusses distribution and marketing strategies for a psychological thriller film set in London. It defines distribution as making a film available for audiences and generating buzz through promotion. It notes that Lions Gate Entertainment would be a good independent distributor as it has successfully distributed similar films. The film would likely appeal most to UK audiences given its British setting and characters, but possibly also others interested in British culture. Suggested marketing strategies include ads on buses, trains, bus stops, billboards, social media, TV, and trailers in cinemas showing similar genres.

The document summarizes information about major US film studios, including their founding dates, current ownership, and some recent popular films. It discusses Sony Pictures (founded 1919), Warner Bros (1918), 20th Century Fox (1935), Universal Pictures (1912), The Walt Disney Company (1923), DreamWorks (1994), MGM (1924), and Paramount Pictures (1912). Recent blockbuster movies from each studio are provided as examples.
3 Which Media Institute would distribute your product and why?
Our independent British film "Obsession" would likely be distributed by Working Title, a major British production company known for films appealing to both British and wider audiences. Alternatively, ScreenGems or Rainforest Films could distribute to reach broader audiences. Working Title has successfully distributed films with similar themes of relationships and emotions, while ScreenGems and Rainforest Films focus on genres aligned with our film and target audiences that could connect with its cast and themes. As an independent film, our lower budget also means lower risk if the film does not perform as well as hoped.
British film vs american film
The document compares key differences between British and American films. It notes that British films often feature location shooting, wide shots, unknown actors, semi-improvised scripts, and explore social issues in a realistic way. They also have a combination of humor and seriousness. American films typically have higher budgets, use of studios over locations, feature professional actors, focus on romance and escapism, and employ special effects. It then provides details on major British and American film companies and funding sources for British films.
Research into media institutions
Revolver Entertainment is an LA-based film distribution company that distributes independently produced films through various platforms like TV, DVD, theaters, and VOD. They use unconventional marketing tactics like guerrilla marketing with a small budget to connect each film to its target audience. For example, with the film Kidulthood they hired a large billboard with the film's cast faces replaced by UK government officials' faces to encourage debate. Revolver distributes films across genres including crime films like Act Of Grace and Tony.
Evaluation activity 3 (draft 2)
- A production company is responsible for organizing and distributing a film through tasks like scheduling, budgeting, scripting, and casting. They work with a distributor to market and promote the film.
- Possible distributors for the film include Film4, Lionsgate UK, and StudioCanal as they distribute smaller, UK-based films and have experience with the horror genre.
- Film4 would be the best choice as a distributor since they support emerging talent through lower-budget films and have successfully distributed independent horror films in the past.

12 years a British Film?
The document discusses the criteria for what qualifies as a "British film" for the BAFTA awards. It explains that 12 Years a Slave, despite having a British director and lead actor, was not considered for best British film because its producers did not select the box indicating it was a British film. Meanwhile, films like Gravity and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom were considered British films even though they do not take place in Britain or have predominantly British casts, because they involved significant British creative involvement in areas like visual effects, crew roles, and production companies. The criteria for British films considers factors like the director, cast, crew, and location of filming and production, and the definitions have become more complex as the
Media Distributors
Our low-budget British psychological thriller film would likely be distributed by a small independent film distribution company rather than a major Hollywood studio. Some potential options are Vertigo Films, DNA Films, and Film 4, which specialize in distributing smaller, independent films from non-professional filmmakers. DNA Films in particular seems well-suited as they have experience distributing similar low-budget, dark genre films like thrillers and our film's psychological thriller genre aligns with the types of films they distribute.
Research on Film Institutions
Lionsgate was founded in 1995 by Frank Giustra, a Canadian investment banker hoping to capitalize on the growing film industry. Lionsgate acquired production companies and distributors and grew significantly. Lionsgate would be a good choice to produce and distribute the film because its focus on genre films matches the project and Lionsgate could help provide recognition for the film.
Working title
Working Title Films is the most successful British film production company, co-founded in 1984 by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner. They have achieved success by making broadly appealing films with European ideas and American stars that appeal to international audiences. This approach has attracted some criticism of their "mid-Atlantic" nature. Working Title has benefited from partnerships with major Hollywood studios that provide financial stability and access to international markets. They focus on character-driven narratives and have produced over 95 films that have earned $4.5 billion globally. Their model has helped sustain the British film industry despite predictions of its decline.
Working titles
Working Titles was founded in 1983 and produced films independently until partnering with Polygram in 1992. This partnership helped Working Titles grow and find success producing films for Universal. Universal's involvement helped Working Titles appeal to American audiences through adaptations that included American elements, leading to much higher domestic box office gross in the US. Key figures like Richard Curtis and recurring actors like Hugh Grant were also important to Working Titles' popular romantic comedies that targeted female audiences. When distributing films in the US, modifications were sometimes made to marketing, like alternative posters that focused less on British stars and more on storylines, to appeal to American audiences.
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
Film exhibition is the final stage in the film release process where movies are made available for audiences to watch. There are different types of exhibition including theatrical releases in movie theaters, home entertainment, television, and online streaming. Exhibitors work with distributors to promote films and negotiate revenue sharing agreements based on factors like the size of the film and location of the cinema. Revenue is used to cover production costs and fund future films.
Warp and Working Titles
Warp Films and Working Titles are two British film production companies. Working Titles started as an independent company but was later bought by Universal Studios, giving it access to extensive international distribution. It produces films with well-known actors that have wide appeal. Warp Films is an independent company based in Sheffield and London that produces lower-budget films with less-known actors and more stylistic or controversial stories, relying on word-of-mouth for success. It distributes films more narrowly in the UK and Europe at first before expanding, if successful. Examples of films by each company, like Notting Hill and Submarine, illustrate their different approaches to production and distribution.
Warp films
Warp Records founded Warp Films to produce music videos and short films. Warp Films' first short film to gain attention was Chris Morris' "My Wrongs", which won a BAFTA in 2003. Warp Films' breakthrough film was Shane Meadows' 2007 film "This Is England" which cost just £1.5 million to produce. Warp Films distributes its films through different partners in different countries to maximize exposure. It also promotes its films through the artists on its record label, like giving Richard Ayoade the opportunity to direct videos for Arctic Monkeys which later led to him directing the Warp Films production "Submarine".
Film Production, Distribution and Exhibition
The document discusses several film production companies, distribution companies, and exhibition. It provides details on 12 prominent production companies such as New Line Cinema, Dimension Films, and Rogue Pictures. New Line Cinema and Dimension Films are highlighted for their successful horror films. The document also discusses two distribution companies - Lions Gate Entertainment and Hammer Films. Hammer Films in particular distributes both international and British films. Finally, it defines film exhibition as the public screening of films in movie theaters.
Productions institution.finished
Lionsgate was founded in 1995 and began as a small production company buying other small studios, eventually becoming a major studio. It was founded by Frank Giustra hoping to capitalize on the growing film industry in his hometown of Montreal. The document discusses that Lionsgate has been chosen as the film institution to produce the title sequence for a project due to fitting the genre well and being a recognizable major studio.
Evaluation: Question Seven
The document provides an evaluation of Gaby Stocker's film planning, camera skills, editing, sound creation, ident creation, and teamwork for a preliminary film project and a final opening scene. For the final opening scene, more detailed storyboarding was used, more variety in shots, steadier camerawork, easier editing in iMovie rather than Premier Pro, mixing of voiceover and soundtrack sound levels, and an ident was created after audience testing. Teamwork was effective with communication and contributions from all group members.
Evaluation question 7
The document discusses the learning process between the author's preliminary film project and their full film project. Some key points:
- For the preliminary film, there was minimal planning and the storyboard was basic, but these improved greatly for the full film.
- The author gained experience with camera skills, editing software, and incorporating different shot types between the two projects.
- Their group collaboration was effective for both projects, but grew stronger with an additional group member for the full film.
- While an ident was created for the full film, the author recognizes it could have been more polished with additions like animation or separate music.

Evaluation 2
The document discusses how two characters are represented in a media product: an old man and a racer. For the old man, stereotypical clothing of a coat and hat are used, along with 1970s music and a walking stick to indicate his age and possible disability. The lighting is adjusted to create a calm atmosphere when showing him. For the racer, a racing suit with close-ups of gloves, boots, and helmet clearly show his role, supported by filming at a race track location. Dark and dramatic lighting and sound are used to subvert stereotypes of racing as happy and create tension for the audience.
Evaluation question 5
The document discusses how the filmmakers addressed their target audience. They researched similar motorsport films to understand audience appeal. They conducted audience testing through focus groups and questionnaires to get feedback on different sections of the film. Their opening scene aims to make the audience feel empathy for the main character. They want viewers to feel like a "friend" to him by the end. The filmmakers hope to convey that people should never give up, no matter the circumstances.
Evaluation Question 6
The document discusses various technologies used during the filmmaking process, including WordPress for blogging, Facebook Messenger for communication, Office 365 for emailing documents, a Nikon camera for filming, phones for additional filming and editing, Premiere Pro for video editing, YouTube for embedding videos and tutorials, Microsoft Office for planning documents, SlideShare and Prezi for presentations, Adobe Illustrator for title design, and websites for copyright-free music. The student learned how to use many of these technologies through tutorials and hands-on experience during the project.
Evaluation Question 2
This document discusses how a film represents social groups through its characters, locations, camerawork, sound, and editing. The film has stereotypes of disability and gender. It features a disabled male race car driver as the protagonist. Flashbacks show him racing and happy, while present-day scenes depict him alone and sad in a wheelchair. Camera movements are slow in present but fast during flashbacks. Sound and editing with filters distinguish flashbacks from present to convey emotion and the narrative.
Evaluation Question Three.
1) A distributor buys, warehouses, and resells noncompeting products or product lines to retailers or end users. For films, a distributor handles theatrical release and marketing of DVDs, downloads, etc. in a particular country.
2) For an independent film company, options for distribution include large Hollywood studios for global audiences or smaller companies for local/niche audiences.
3) The filmmakers decided to get funding from grants like the BFI since their film is small and independent, and chose a small distributor like Film 4 to reach their domestic audience.

Evaluation Question 3
Entertainment Film Distributors would be the most suitable company to distribute the author's movie. As a UK-based independent film distributor specializing in horror genres, they have successfully distributed many low-budget British and international horror films. In contrast, companies like Warner Bros. and Lionsgate focus more on larger-budget Hollywood productions. Fox Searchlight and Momentum Pictures were also considered but Entertainment Film Distributors is the clear best choice given their experience and focus on independent horror films.
Assignment 15
Production companies are responsible for creating films and ensuring they appeal to target audiences. They handle budgeting, scheduling, scripting and production. Film distribution companies market and distribute films after production to wider audiences. Their role is to maximize profits by appealing to target audiences through marketing and distribution. Major distributors like Universal, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Bros have distributed profitable horror, vampire and zombie films through appealing to genre fans.

Film Distributors
Film distributors are responsible for marketing and setting release dates for films. 20th Century Fox is one of the major American film studios that distributes big-budget action films with special effects. While 20th Century Fox has distributed horror films, they focus on larger budgets than my UK film would have. Film4 is a British company that produces and distributes lower budget UK films for television and DVD, making them a good fit for my small, British production. DreamWorks distributes animated family films and would not be suitable since my film is not animated.
Evaluation Q3
The document evaluates several major media institutions as potential distributors for a small, independent film production. It determines that Warner Bros would be the most likely choice, as while it typically distributes high-budget films, it has also frequently aided smaller companies by providing funding, equipment, and assistance with production and distribution, allowing both parties to profit from a successful partnership.
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.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Entertainment Film Distributors would be the most suitable distribution company for the filmmaker's low-budget supernatural horror film. EFD specializes in distributing independent British films and has experience with horror genres like Saw and The Final Destination. They could help the film reach a large audience without a huge budget. StudioCanal UK and EFD both work with small British productions, but EFD may require less money to distribute and promote the film using social media.

Film 4 Entertainment would be a suitable initial distributor for the independent British film as it would showcase British talent. The film would likely gain attention at film festivals which could then attract the interest of a major studio like 20th Century Fox, known for distributing thoughtful films based on real events. 20th Century Fox's global distribution would expose the film and its story of the infamous Milwaukee Cannibal to broad audiences worldwide.

Evaluation Question 3
The filmmaker conducted audience research including a focus group and survey to get feedback on their horror film. From the survey responses, they learned sound was most effective at conveying the horror genre followed by lighting, typography, and camerawork. For lighting and sound, most audience members felt it was good but some scenes could be improved. Based on the feedback, the filmmaker made adjustments like increasing silence, adjusting lighting in some shots, and removing shaky shots of the antagonist. The focus group was also positive with only a comment about dialogue volume, which the filmmaker felt was an intentional directorial choice.

The passenger genre:audience analysis
The document analyzes how the genre of horror is established in the short film "The Passenger" through various film techniques. It discusses how the isolation of the setting, low-key lighting, disruption to the protagonist's life, and use of dark colors and unsettling sounds cue audiences familiar with horror tropes to interpret the film as dangerous and scary. Key elements like the messy title, isolated location shots, and insertion of an unknown figure are understood as horror conventions that signal to audiences the threats and fears commonly found in the genre.
Genre and Audience Analysis: VICIOUS
The document analyzes how the horror film "Vicious" establishes its audience and genre through various cinematic techniques. It discusses how the isolated house setting, low-key lighting, dark colors, use of silence and eerie sounds, and themes of isolation and disruption are commonly used in horror films and would be decoded by audiences familiar with the genre as signs of danger, fear, and scare. These elements attract horror-fluent fans and provide them pleasure through generating a sense of being scared.
Definition of short films
This document defines conventions of short films. It notes that short films are typically between 2-20 minutes long. Due to their brevity, short films often focus on disrupting an equilibrium and achieving recognition or resolution, rather than following the full narrative structure of equilibrium-disruption-recognition-resolution. They usually focus on a single event within a single timeframe told from the perspective of one or two characters, without extensive backstory development. Short films also have small, independent budgets that result in minimal credits and production teams.
History of horror
The history of horror began with Gothic literature in the late 1700s and was first brought to film in the 1890s. German Expressionist films popularized the genre after World War 1. In the 1930s, Universal Studios produced iconic horror films with sound like Dracula and Frankenstein. Independent, low-budget films in the 1940s-50s like Cat People proved horror could be commercially successful on a small scale. Major directors adopted the genre in the 1970s, bringing prestige and bigger budgets to films like The Exorcist and Halloween, spawning many subgenres that are still popular today like slasher, torture porn, and found footage films.

Evaluation Q3
- 1. Evaluation Q3 What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
- 2. Introduction The filming industry relies on distribution companies. The big conglomerate companies in the industry invest in smaller companies, which allows them to vertically integrate into different areas of the media industry. Distributors are there to advertise any new films in theatres, and in todays world, its a lot faster and cheaper as its now all done digitally, whereas it was done with analogue technology. Bigger production companies sometimes help smaller film companies, such as independent film companies like Film 4, because it gives them a bigger budget and allows them to distribute their film on a larger scale. Our film's genre is a drama, which has been influence by ‘Rush’ (2013), which shows the life of a famous racer and his accomplishments and failures Our film would have a high budget, so we’d be looked for a Big distribution company such as Universal Pictures or 20th Century Fox. This would be because we want there to be a lot of special effects (CGI of cars crashing etc), expensive cars and high profile actors, to entice people to watch.
- 4. Universal Pictures One of ‘The Big 6’ Subsidiary of NBCUniversal Founded in 1912 Located in California, US They create and distribute theatrical and non- theatrical filmed entertainment. Universal's theatrical slate includes films developed internally, along with co-productions, acquisitions, and films developed by outside partners and distributed by the studio. Biggest Releases: Jurassic World (2015), Fast & Furious 7 (2015) and Minions (2015) Jurassic World Budget: $150 Million Fast & Furious 7 Budget: $190 Million Minions Budget: $74 Million The budget our film would be hoping for would also be around the $100 Million mark, as we would need lots of expensive props and special effects, just like Fast & Furious 7 did. They also specialise in drama and action, and specifically FAF7, which is a car film, relates a lot to our genre, so this would be an advantage in deciding which distributor to use.
- 5. Walt Disney Pictures One of the ‘Big 6’ Division of Walt Disney Studios Founded in 1923 Located in California Biggest Releases: Frozen (2013), Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006) and Toy Story 3 (2010) Frozen Budget: $150 Million Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest Budget: $225 Million Toy Story 3 Budget: $200 Million They specialise in Kids/Family movies, which isn’t the genre of our film, so if they distributed this, their target audience wouldn’t want to see our film so it wouldn’t get as many sales.
- 6. Warner Bros. Pictures Division of Time Warner Entertainment Founded in 1923 Located in California They release Tv shows and music, as they have a number of different subsidiaries. Biggest Releases: The Dark Knight (2008), The Dark Knight Rises (2012) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011) The Dark Knight Budget: $180 Million The Dark Knight Rises Budget: $250 Million Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Budget: $250 Million They specialise in sci-fi films, and therefore doesn’t follow our genre so their target audience may not want to watch the film.
- 7. 20th Century Fox One of the ‘Big 6’ Subsidiary of 21st Century Fox Founded in 1935 Located in Los Angeles They’re known for distributing the 1st and 2nd highest grossing films ever (‘Avatar’ and ‘Titanic’). They also release TV shows such as ‘The Simpsons’ and ‘Glee’ Biggest Releases: Avatar (2009), Titanic (1997) and Star Wars: Episode I (1999) Avatar Budget: $237 Million Titanic Budget: $200 Million Star Wars: Episode I Budget: $115 Million I would definitely choose this company to distribute our film as they have the 1st and 2nd highest grossing films ever, and they also give you a very good budget.
