This document discusses potential media institutions to distribute a low-budget action thriller film set in England about a debt collector who works for a loan shark. Mainstream distributors like 20th Century Fox would be interested if the film had a bigger budget to allow for more extensive action sequences to attract larger audiences. However, an independent UK distributor like Momentum would be more likely to distribute the low-budget film, even if it couldn't afford big stars or action, as Momentum has distributed similar films in terms of genre, rating, and characteristics.

Question 3
The document discusses choosing a media company to distribute a low-budget British drama/thriller film. Soda Pictures is identified as a good choice as they distribute a wide variety of genres, focus on British and independent films, and have experience distributing similar low-budget films. Examples of three films Soda Pictures has distributed in the past are provided.
Question 3 final
Warner Bros or a major international studio like Universal would be good choices to distribute the film because they have wide global reach and have successfully distributed similar films in the past like I Am Legend. They would want to distribute the film because similar genre films have been very popular and profitable, even with low budgets. The film's unique selling point of focusing on an ordinary person's experience could help audiences relate to and empathize with the main character. Institutionally, the film is similar to popular outbreak films like I Am Legend, 28 Days/Weeks Later, and The Crazies that deal with virus outbreaks.
Question 3
Universal Pictures UK would be a good media institution to distribute the media product because they have experience distributing similar romantic comedies targeted at teenagers and young adults. Universal effectively promotes its movies through posters, trailers on websites and YouTube, and advertisements placed where the target audience will see them, like before shows popular with that age group. Distributing through an established company like Universal would help raise awareness for the new romantic comedy film.
Media
New Line Cinema would distribute the film Fracture because they have experience with independent films in similar genres such as crime and thriller films. Fracture has a budget of £800,000 which will be used for marketing to make people aware of the film. It will first be shown in independent cinemas where many people like to watch films for the better quality, and then distributed on DVD to reach the target teenage male audience who spend most of their time indoors. The film channel E4 may show Fracture after 10pm because its target demographic watches E4 16-25 hours per week and the channel shows films and TV above a 16+ rating after 22:00 due to violent and disturbing content.
Media distribution
The document discusses distributing a new psychological thriller film called "The Searchers". It considers several potential film distribution companies to partner with, including Rogue Pictures and New Line Cinema. Rogue specializes in thriller and horror films while New Line has had huge successes distributing films like Lord of the Rings. Self-distribution is also discussed but is not preferred due to the high budget of the film and desire to earn profits. The filmmakers believe the film could appeal to audiences in the UK and US due to similar cultures and language. Potential marketing strategies mentioned include television and radio interviews, billboards, TV trailers, and a London premiere.

This document discusses distributing the action film "Lethal Secret" and marketing strategies. It recommends distributing the film through 20th Century Fox, one of the major Hollywood studios, because they specialize in distributing mainstream action films similar to "Lethal Secret". Marketing would involve television advertisements during prime time on ITV to reach a wide audience, as well as promotions on Facebook which is commonly used by the target demographic. The goal is to get the wide release needed for a big budget action film through an established major distributor and broad marketing campaigns.
Evaluation 3
This document discusses distributing the action film "Lethal Secret" and choosing an appropriate distributor. It analyzes that action films appeal to a mainstream audience, so a major distributor like 20th Century Fox would be best, as they have experience distributing similar action films. 20th Century Fox would get the film into multiplex cinemas and shown to a wide audience of males over and under 35. Advertising would focus on prime time ITV to reach a mass audience, and Facebook to target the intended viewers. In conclusion, a major distributor like 20th Century Fox is recommended to distribute the film widely, while ITV and Facebook are suggested for advertising to the target demographics.
Question 3
ODEON Cinema would be the most suitable cinema to distribute the filmmakers' thriller "The Unseeable" for several reasons:
1) ODEON mainly shows thrillers and films with a 15+ age rating that would appeal to the film's target teenage audience.
2) ODEON's lower ticket prices relative to independent cinemas like Cinema City make it more appealing to the film's target demographic of students.
3) Cinema City shows more art house and indie films that don't fit the big budget thriller genre or trendy nature of "The Unseeable".

Question 3
The document discusses the best type of media institution to distribute a film product. It argues that a conglomerate would provide more funding through multiple company partnerships, allowing for bigger budgets and visual effects. However, conglomerates want more creative control, so an independent English institution like Film4 Films may appeal more for a film focused on England. In the end, it recommends Legendary Pictures as the best choice, as a successful conglomerate known for thrillers that could fund and market the film well.
Assignment 32 distribution companies
The document discusses 5 major film distribution companies - New Line Cinema, Warner Bros, Paramount Pictures, and 20th Century Fox. It recommends these companies because they have successfully distributed films similar to the proposed idea, such as The Omen, that appeal to the target audience. Using one of these companies would be more suitable than others like Disney that aim at different demographics.
Audience research
The document discusses age ratings for films by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). It notes that 15 and 18 ratings are similar but 18 films contain more extreme content. It then discusses how film noirs were generally rated PG in the past but now receive 15 or 18 ratings due to modern audiences. The document's authors decided to rate their film sequence a 15 to target their audience of 15 years old and above since the script contains some colorful language. They profile 17-year old John Trent as their target audience since he enjoys film noirs and mystery films.
Evaluation 3
For our small, independent film that targets working class males ages 15-25, we would need a smaller, independent film distributor like Warp Films. Warp specializes in similar small budget, British crime/drama films that have found success through reviews and profits. They would be more likely to distribute our niche film by promoting and releasing it on DVDs in shops to reach our targeted audience. Our film would likely be shown in an independent art house cinema rather than a large multiplex cinema due to its specific target demographic. With a small budget, we would focus marketing on social media and YouTube rather than widespread advertisements used by bigger films.
Task 3 2-2
Icon Film Distribution or Film District would be the best choices to distribute the psychological thriller film. Both have experience distributing similar genre films like Paranormal Activity and Insidious. The film would appeal to audiences aged 15-50 internationally, as long as they understand English or subtitles. Marketing strategies would include releasing a trailer with scary scenes a few months before the October release date, when audiences are in a festive mood for this genre. Self-distribution is not recommended due to lack of experience, budget, and brand recognition compared to major distributors.
Evaluation 3
An independent film distributor would be best for our film. Smaller distributors can only release films on DVDs and Blu-Rays, fitting our film's working class target audience. Specifically, Warp Films would be a good choice as they specialize in similar small British crime/drama films that have found critical and financial success on DVD. Our film is also best suited to an independent art house cinema given its niche working class male audience, unlike large blockbusters shown in multiplexes. With a small budget, online and YouTube marketing would be most cost effective.
Question 4
The target audience for the opening sequence of the media product is 15-20 year olds due to the inclusion of street crime themes similar to other films rated 15. While the genre does not limit the audience to one gender, it contains some masculine themes. The film is set and produced in Britain so the intended audience is British residents who would find the setting and language familiar. The film genre is detective/thriller so it will appeal to fans of those genres, and it may also attract media students interested in low-budget or student films.

This document discusses film distribution options for a low-budget British horror film. It suggests that Soda Pictures, a UK film distribution company known for low-budget films, may be interested in distributing the film. Soda previously distributed the horror film "Only Lovers Left Alive," so they could appeal to the same audience. The film may also have wider international appeal beyond the UK because horror films have large global fan bases, and casting solely British actors makes it unique compared to American horror films. Marketing strategies discussed include releasing the film a few months after major blockbusters to take advantage of less competition. Self-distribution is also mentioned as an option.
Media - Evaluation
20th Century Fox would distribute the film because they have released similar crime-thriller films like Taken and Die Hard. While the film is also a crime-thriller, it breaks some conventions and targets a younger audience. This could allow the film to stand out and give 20th Century Fox another reason to potentially distribute it.

The document discusses film distribution, which is the process of making a movie available for audiences to watch through various methods like theatrical release or home video. Large distributors like 20th Century Fox have a better chance of getting a film noticed by more people. Low-budget films may struggle if they go with smaller distributors with less reach. The film being discussed is a British teen drama movie about college students, and the distributor has successfully distributed similar American teen films in the past. While aimed mainly at a U.K. audience given its location and themes, the film features three distinct character types to appeal to different audiences. The strategy suggested is to release a trailer in cinemas and on television to promote the genre of the

Film distribution is the process of making a movie available to an audience. A distributor decides which elements will attract an audience, what type of audience it will appeal to, and how to maximize the number of viewers. Major distributors include 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate, and Paramount Pictures UK, while independent options are Altitude Film Distribution, Metrodome Distribution Group, and Network Releasing. Our film would likely be distributed by Warner Bros., part of one of the "Big Six" major studios, due to its similarities to films like Inception. It will primarily appeal to a British audience given its language, storyline about a married businessman who suffered abuse, and characters.
Media evaluation distribution
Distribution involves sharing a film with an audience through a film distributor. For a low-budget independent psychological thriller, suitable distribution companies may include Momentum Pictures, which distributed Christopher Nolan's early film "Following," or Polygram Filmed Entertainment, which has distributed both big-budget Hollywood films and smaller British independent films like "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." The film also has potential wide appeal, not just in the UK but also in the US, as although British, it has an American feel and themes common to American thrillers.
Research into distributors
This document discusses several major film distributors including Entertainment One, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Lionsgate. It notes that Entertainment One is known for distributing high-budget films like The Hunger Games, while Paramount and 20th Century Fox have had success with franchises such as Transformers, Mission: Impossible, and Star Wars. The document also explains that a filmmaker chose to use Lionsgate for distribution over the major studios because Lionsgate makes similar films and would cost less.
Question 6
The document discusses different technologies used at various stages of a film project. In pre-production, a blogger site was used to house all project materials in one place. Free music websites provided tracks for the film during production. Post-production evaluations were done across multiple programs to provide different perspectives. A HD camera captured footage easily and a tripod enabled good shots. Social media distributed questionnaires to gather audience feedback on the film.
Quesion 4 - Audience
The document discusses research conducted to determine the target audience for a film. Based on questionnaires, the target audience is identified as being between 15-18 years old since younger audiences may not understand topics and older audiences may not relate to the 17-year-old characters. Most respondents also believed the film would appeal more to female audiences, so the film features two strong female lead actresses. Common interests of the potential audience that may influence their interest in the film include psychology, murder mysteries, the supernatural, drugs, and crime. Since the film will be distributed by Film Four, profits may rely more on DVD and streaming services than box office sales. Race, sexuality, and socioeconomic class were not factors considered for the target audience.
2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The document discusses how a media product represents social groups such as gender, age, regional identity, and other social groups. It asks how the media product represents particular social groups.
Question 3 - Distribution
The document discusses how a media product represents different social groups. It focuses on analyzing the representation of gender, age, and regional identity in the product. For gender, it notes that only female characters are shown initially, which could promote stereotypes, but this was intentional for the plot. The camera angles look down on the women, making them seem weak. For age, the 17-year-old characters may fit drug user stereotypes and be more relatable to the target audience. For regional identity, the film portrays the North of England negatively by showing people from there taking drugs and drinking, reinforcing stereotypes.

This document discusses the various technologies used during the process of creating a media production project. It describes using Blogger for pre-production research and planning, a Sony HD100 camera and tripod for filming, Final Cut Express for editing, free sound effect and music sites to add audio, Google Docs questionnaires to gather feedback, and social media like YouTube, Tumblr and Twitter to share work and gather a wider audience for feedback. The document indicates that while some technologies like Blogger and Google Docs were familiar, others like the camera and Final Cut Express required learning but were relatively easy to learn and use.
4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
The document summarizes the pre-production research a film group did to determine the target audience for their film "Vodka and Coke". They created a questionnaire to gather feedback on the initial film storyline. Most respondents were aged 15-18, fitting the target of young adults aged 15 and older. Both males and females said they would watch it, though they aimed particularly at females by including strong female leads. They also wanted to attract those interested in genres like psychology, crime, horror and drugs. Their goal was to have the film widely available on streaming services and DVD.
AS Media Product Evaluation- Question 1
The document discusses how a student media product uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real supernatural thriller media. The narrative is nonlinear and open-ended, with the most significant event occurring before the credits. Various aspects of the film, like isolation and mysterious events, fit the chosen supernatural thriller genre. Cinematography, editing, lighting, sound, mise-en-scene, and typography were all intentionally manipulated to create feelings of tension, suspense, confusion, and isolation for the audience, as is common in the supernatural thriller genre.
Media Evaluation Part 3
An independent media company would be the best choice to distribute the film. Independent companies tend to take more risks and are less focused on wide audience appeal, allowing for more creative freedom. While the budget and production sophistication would be lower, the style of the film would be more similar to the finished product. A mainstream company could drastically change the film by providing a larger budget for effects and locations, but the film's low-budget style and complex storyline make it unsuitable for a wide audience. An independent distributor like Verve Pictures that specializes in small, low-budget student films would be the ideal choice.
AS Media Evaluation part 7
In their preliminary task, the students shot a short scene using a basic camcorder. For their final film, they had more freedom and used a more advanced camera. They learned how to use different camera settings, angles, and shots. They also improved their editing skills in Final Cut by learning more tools and getting better at managing their time. While they carried over techniques like match-on-action from the preliminary, they developed their skills in areas like camera operation, shot variety, and moving shots.

Common settings include banks, shops, and gang hideouts. These films use cinematography techniques like low-key lighting, angle changes, and different shot types to add mystery and tension. Background music and sounds are also usually present throughout the movie. Examples given are The Untouchables, Now You See Me, and Ocean's Eleven.

Who would distribute my film eval 3
The document discusses options for distributing a low-budget, independent British film. It identifies Revolver Entertainment as a suitable distributor because they specialize in distributing similar low-budget, independent films with urban and gritty thriller genres. While Film 4 is also a British distributor that has successfully marketed films, Revolver Entertainment is considered a better fit since they have experience with films that have comparable budgets, genres, settings, narratives and target audiences to the film being discussed.
Insitution
The document discusses which media institution would be best to distribute an independent romantic comedy film. It suggests that Film4, a British independent film distributor, would be the best option. Film4 produces and broadcasts alternative films and has theme nights with similar genres that would appeal to the target audience. Although independent, Film4 also shows blockbuster films, which could attract viewers. It also moved from pay TV to free-to-air, allowing wider free access to independent and blockbuster films.
Media Studies Evaluation 3
The student analyzed potential media institutions to distribute their post-apocalyptic film. Major studios like Warner Bros and Lionsgate were deemed unsuitable due to the film's low budget and lack of famous actors. Independent British film companies like DNA Films and Palace Pictures would be more interested since they distribute similar genre films set in Britain. The student also proposed advertising the film at small UK film festivals focused on new British directors, such as the British Independent Film Festival, rather than large cinema chains that prioritize blockbuster films.
Film Distribution Media AS 2013
An independent UK film distribution company like Dogwoof would be best suited to distribute our new psychological thriller film called "The Obsession". As a low-budget British film that focuses on gritty urban scenes and doesn't include Hollywood-style stereotypes of the UK, it would appeal more to an independent distributor and UK audiences rather than a major company. Releasing it around Halloween and promoting it through social media could help it find an audience. While self-distribution would retain full control, the legal and sales expertise of a distributor would help maximize profits.
Q3
A smaller, independent distributor like Cinema For All would be best suited to distribute the film Snitch because it has a low budget and niche audience. Large distributors like Universal Pictures focus on big budget, mass appeal blockbusters, and would likely change elements of Snitch like its cast and writing to broaden its audience. While distribution by a major studio could increase box office returns through wider reach, it would alter the independent style and lower budget nature of the film.
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.
task 3
This document discusses film distribution and provides examples of distribution companies. It defines distribution as making a film available for audiences and generating awareness through marketing. It describes 20th Century Fox and Lions Gate Entertainment as major distributors, with 20th Century Fox distributing big blockbusters and Lions Gate focusing more on independent films. The document proposes Lions Gate as the best choice to distribute the author's psychological thriller film targeting UK audiences, since Lions Gate has experience with similar lower-budget British films. Suggested marketing strategies include billboards, buses, social media, and TV ads on specific channels to reach the target audience.
Media task 3
Distribution is the process of getting films noticed by audiences through identifying the target demographic, estimating revenue potential, and convincing exhibitors to show the film. The UK has six main distribution companies linked to Hollywood studios, such as Entertainment One and Metrodome. The film Exile is a British independent thriller/crime/romance hybrid that would appeal most to a UK audience given its low-budget, British actors and setting. Metrodome may be a good fit as they have distributed similar British "indie" films in the past like Shifty.
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.
question 3 evaluation
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute an independent romantic comedy film with a low budget. Universal Studios is identified as the top choice due to its wide promotion of the genre and ability to bring attention to the film. However, the document later acknowledges that a smaller independent distributor like Sony Pictures Classics may have been a better fit given the film's budget. It also notes that self-distribution through online platforms is a viable option in today's media landscape.
Evaluation task 3
The document discusses distribution strategies for a student film. It defines distribution as how a film is marketed and made available to audiences. It notes that bigger distribution companies include 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros, while smaller independent companies that might be suitable include Metrodome and Independent Distribution. The student's film is a drama/comedy, so Metrodome would likely be interested since they deal with similar genres. The film could have wider appeal beyond the UK since it has American teen drama themes but British features that would seem out of place in America. Marketing strategies proposed include a summer release date, trailers, posters, TV ads, possible promotion from Coca-Cola, interviews, premieres, and social media.
Question 3 media
This document discusses marketing strategies for a low-budget thriller film called "BREAK IN". It will target audiences ages 15 and older. Due to the low budget, it will be distributed initially in the UK and US, which have large audiences interested in stalking thriller genres. Marketing will focus on word of mouth, free screenings to gather feedback, an online distribution site for independent films, and film festivals with simple advertisement options. The goal is to test audience reception and see if the film could later expand to more countries.
What kind of media institution might distribute your
The document discusses options for distributing a new psychological thriller film called "Subjected". It notes that similar films like "Se7en" were distributed by New Line Cinema. Due to its similarities in theme and genre, the author believes "Subjected" would be best distributed by an independent film distributor like New Line Cinema that specializes in thriller and horror films. Self-distribution is also considered but deemed challenging due to lack of marketing resources and name recognition compared to major studios. The target audience is identified as UK audiences ages 15-30 of any gender due to the film's psychological themes being less common in Hollywood.
Distributor research
This document considers potential film distributors for a new psychological thriller film with a low budget. It analyzes both mainstream and independent distributors. For mainstream, Newline Cinema is identified as the best choice as it has successfully distributed similar psychological thriller films like The Butterfly Effect and Se7en. For independent distributors, Warp Films is identified as the most realistic option given its focus on low budget British films and audiences, making it a good fit for the new film's British actors and locations.
Question 3
The document discusses potential media institutions to distribute a new British thriller film. It suggests distributing through a British company like Entertainment Film Distributors, the largest UK distributor known for films like The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Working Title Films, a British production company, could help finance the film. For a small independent British thriller, Metrodome Distribution may distribute it through their microwave scheme that funds low-budget UK films. The film could be viewed digitally or online, and viral marketing through social media and emails would help promote the small-scale film in a cost-effective way.
Question 3
Kaleidoscope Film Distribution would be a good company to distribute the film because they specialize in psychological thrillers like the one being discussed. While a larger company might ignore an unknown writer, Kaleidoscope tends to notice and support new talent. The film will likely appeal more to audiences in the UK since the actors and characters are British, but Americans also enjoy British dramas that offer a change from big Hollywood films. Due to its broad audience appeal across different social groups, marketing strategies like social media, teaser trailers, and TV/radio ads could be used to create buzz and engage viewers.
Q3
The film would be distributed to media institutions that specialize in action genres. As an indie film, it may receive funding from the British Film Institute or through self-funding, but this funding would not allow for large advertisements or screenings in major cinemas. Therefore, the best distribution method would be onto DVD. Columbia Pictures, an American film company owned by Sony and known for successful action films, would be a suitable distributor as their ident is present in the film's production.
Evaluation question 3
This document discusses what type of media institution might distribute a film product and why. It suggests that a major film distributor would be best suited to distribute the film, which is an action genre film about a girl kidnapped by a drug organization. Major distributors like 20th Century Fox would be most appropriate as they have experience distributing similar action films. Distributors are responsible for cinema release, marketing, release dates, and making films available on various platforms. They are important for a film's success and ability to reach its target audience. As the film has elements like special effects that require a larger budget, a major distributor would be needed to fund distribution and wide-reaching marketing campaigns.
Evaluation Task 3
Film distribution involves a distributor representing a film at festivals and markets to make it available to audiences. Major distributors like 20th Century Fox have more resources to hire famous actors compared to independent distributors like The Works. The document discusses distributing the film "The Wimp", about bullying, which could appeal to wide audiences given the global issue. 20th Century Fox may be interested since it distributed the popular similar film "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". Self-distribution has advantages of full control but is time-consuming without a distributor's industry relationships.
Q3 AS Media Studies
A media institution that would be well suited to distribute the film "Crush" is Optimum Releasing in the UK. Optimum Releasing focuses on distributing films targeted towards British audiences, including films with unknown actors. They have previously distributed successful films like Submarine that share similarities to "Crush" as a British romance film. Optimum Releasing evaluates films based on the strength of the storyline rather than just the fame of the actors. Their openness to challenges like unknown actors makes them a good fit to distribute "Crush".

Evaluation Question 3
- 1. What kind of media institutions might distribute your media product and why QUESTION 3
- 2. This is a film that is based in England about a debt collector that works for a loan shark, he became a debt collector after not being able to pay back a debt and that was the only way to stay alive. Our film is an action thriller with an age rating of 15. THE AGGREGATOR
- 3. MAINSTREAM DISTRIBUTORS Our film is similar to the film ‘The Transporter’ which also is a action thriller and was distributed by a mainstream company, having a mainstream distributor like ‘20th Century Fox’ our film would do better, as we would have a better budget and could do more extreme action sequences to attract more of a larger audience, but due to our film being a low budget production, they wouldn’t be interested in taking it on.
- 4. INDEPENDENT DISTRIBUTORS The UK distributor ‘Momentum’ have distributed American movies such as ‘Snitch’ which has many of the same characteristics as our own film and also has the same age rating and genres, an independent distributor like momentum would be more likely to distribute our low budget film even though we wouldn’t be able to afford more well know actors and bigger action scenes.
