Our film would be well-suited for distribution by New Line Cinema or Universal Pictures due to their experience producing similar conspiracy thriller and action films. New Line Cinema in particular has released prestigious films like Domino and The Butterfly Effect. Universal Pictures founded in 1912 continues to produce thriller hits from the Bourne series to Dawn of the Dead. Additionally, our film could have been funded by sponsorships from companies that provided money in exchange for product placement within the film to help promote their brands.

Production
The production company featured in the film titles was Candi Media Studios because it would be unrealistic to feature major Hollywood studios given the extremely low budget. They had no funds and only a couple weeks to film and edit, so using independent UK companies would have been more realistic but they wanted to be creative and stand out by creating their own distribution company called Stomp Out Camp Distributions. Their target audience was teenagers and young adults who would immediately recognize it as being made by similarly aged people. However, the document's author acknowledges that with such a low budget, appealing to a mass market of 15-30 year olds would be difficult and a niche market using social media would be more realistic. The homemade production and distribution companies were chosen

A film distributor is responsible for marketing and distributing a film. They set the release date and choose how the film will be exhibited or made available for viewing, such as in cinemas or on DVD. Multinational distributors have larger budgets to distribute and promote films nationally or worldwide, while independent distributors have limited local promotion budgets. Left Films and Hammer Films are suggested as potential distributors for the filmmaker's slasher film because they specialize in low-budget horror and thriller genres. Film4 Productions is also proposed as they have successfully distributed similar films without any current competing titles.

Both companies have audiences interested in the thriller/horror genre and would help attract new viewers.

For funding, ICE Production Company determined a smaller, British production company would be more suitable than a large Hollywood studio due to lower costs and tax allowances.
Question 3
The document discusses two potential film distributors - Warp Films and Paramount Pictures. Warp Films is an independent UK-based company that would allow for a lower budget but more localized audience.

Warner Bros would be one media institution that could distribute the film as it is a major film studio that can provide a large budget for high production quality and employ well-known actors to appeal to a wide audience. However, as a large and successful company, Warner Bros may not be interested. Anthum Pictures is another option as an independent film company that has experience distributing horror films, but with a smaller budget the film quality may suffer and it would have a limited release and smaller audience than with a major studio.

Film4 specializes in drama but has also distributed some horror films, and they often work with low budgets.

Lionsgate and Film4 are deemed the most suitable options due to their experience with similar genres and budgets.
question 3 media evaluation
This document discusses options for distributing a thriller film. It considers using large conglomerate film companies in the US like Warner Brothers, New Line Cinema, and Paramount, which have global reach but may want to change aspects of the film. UK companies like Bedlam Productions, Between the Eyes, and Archer Street Films could keep the film's British identity but not have global distribution.

The document discusses appropriate media institutions to distribute a horror film media product. It suggests that Lionsgate Films would be a good choice as they have successfully distributed similar horror films in the past. Lionsgate and other production companies provide necessary resources like studios and makeup to filmmakers. Film distributors take on the important role of marketing and advertising movies to exhibitors and audiences to ensure the film reaches its target demographic. Investors are also discussed as a major source of funding for films, with larger budgets allowing for better advertising and production quality.

The document discusses the pros and cons of distributing a media product through a conglomerate company versus an independent company. The author argues that a conglomerate like Time Warner would be the best choice to distribute their film. Conglomerate companies have larger budgets and experience distributing films worldwide. They have a reputation for high quality productions and appealing to mass audiences. Choosing Time Warner could result in greater profits and distribution similar to successful films they have backed like The Dark Knight. While conglomerates may want creative control, the author believes reasonable discussions could limit their influence. Overall, the author feels a conglomerate is needed for the film's success.

Evaluation 3 - Distribution
Our production company, WeMadeIt Entertainment, would be well-suited to produce and distribute our thriller film, "Smoke and Mirrors." WeMadeIt Entertainment aims to collectively create original thrillers through hard work and determination. For production, we would partner with Blumhouse Productions, known for successful low-budget horror films. Blumhouse has connections to Universal Pictures who would provide wide distribution. For distribution, we propose partnering with independent distributor A24 who has experience with thriller films similar to ours. To fund the film, we propose using the crowd-funding platform Kickstarter, which has successfully funded many independent films.

Initial ideas
Taylor Cockley proposes creating two fashion adverts for a spring/summer collection - one for male clothing and one for female clothing. They also plan to create a web pop-up and television sponsorship sequence as auxiliary tasks. The target audience is teenagers and young adults aged 14-24, who Taylor wants to appeal to by making the brand seem edgy and fun. Taylor analyzed example fashion adverts and found common elements like showing prices, promotions, logos, vibrant colors, and happy atmospheres. They propose creating a television advert shown during similar genre programs, with the goal of persuading the target audience to purchase the clothing. ThumbsUps Productions would be assigned to create the advert due to their experience and London location

Evaluation Question 3
- 1. A M E L I A S C O T T INSOMN?AQuestion three – what kind of media institutions might distribute your media product and why? Although there are many different distribution companies for all different genres of film, I have decided that Hammer is the best company to distribute our film. Hammer is one of the most well-known film institutions in the UK and has produced over 150 feature films since 1934. Hammer is very well known for a lot of films in the horror genre such as ‘Woman in Black’ ‘Let me in’ and ‘The Curse of Frankenstein’. I was influenced a lot by the film ‘Woman in black’ therefore I used some of the conventions from this film such as the use of child actors, fear of the unknown and lighting, This made me feel confident that this distribution company is the right one for our film. Ichose this company because they have experience in distributing this specific genre of film therefore they can make sure our film reaches its full potential. As Hammer is a big company they would be able to give us a big budget meaning we can make our film exactly how we want to without being restricted. We wanted our film to be distributed by a parent company because it helps with the overall funding of our film. Hammer is the parent company of Spitfire pictures, an award winning Production Company and Exclusive films international, a distribution company. This is called vertical integration. This means that all areas of production and distribution are covered under this one company, saving time, money and making the whole process easier. Another reason we need a big budget for our film is because we would like special effects and other features that are very expensive and we would not be able to do them without it. Due to hammer owning a distribution company this means that our film would also be marketed by the same company, once again saving time, money and effort. It would also have experience therefore helping our film further. Due to hammer being a well-known name in horror the film industry they will already have a major fan base meaning that even before it has been advertised there would be people wanting to see films by them. This company would also know exactly what the best time to release the film is due to experience of good release dates and knowing what other films are coming out and when so that there is little or no competition.
