Warner Brothers would be the most appropriate major film distribution company for the film due to its similarities to films they have previously distributed like I Am Legend that were successful. Warner Brothers targets the same 15-25 year old demographic as the film and has experience creating effective trailers by altering their logo to match the style of the film. Their trailers showcase clips that appeal to the target audience and are distributed on their YouTube channel and in theaters before similar genre films. While other companies like Paramount and Disney were considered, Warner Brothers has a track record of success distributing comparable post-apocalyptic films.

Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses potential distribution partners for a low-budget independent horror film. It analyzes why several major studios like Paramount, Disney, and 20th Century Fox would likely not be suitable partners given the film's genre and budget. It identifies Film4 as a good potential partner because they distribute a wide variety of genres including horror, they work with independent films, and their target UK audience would be a good match. Film4's reputation in the industry could help attract audiences. The document also discusses advertising the film online through its website and YouTube channel as well as pursuing film festivals and cinema screenings to build awareness and audiences.

The document analyzes the trailer for a James Bond film sequel. It summarizes that the target audience is 18-40 year old males and action/adventure fans, especially those who grew up liking previous Bond films. Through traditional Bond iconography, an absence of voiceover, fast pacing, and revealing that Bond is dead at the start, the trailer constructs a narrative that the film will be a complex, exciting action adventure typical of the Bond franchise. As a well-known franchise, the trailer does not need to promote the director or actors.
Evaluation question 3
Warner Brothers would be a good media institution to distribute the filmmaker's dystopian drama because:
- Warner Brothers has a history of producing films with similar tones and genres, such as The Dark Knight and I Am Legend, that also portray dystopian futures
- The filmmaker's movie shares similarities in storytelling techniques with these Warner Brothers films
- Warner Brothers has the large budget and resources needed to produce the special effects and hire A-list stars required for the film, and to market it for maximum profits given its wide audience appeal

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.
Film distribution
Film distribution involves marketing and releasing films to audiences. Distributors control how films are advertised and sold through trailers, merchandise, and social media. They focus on theatrical release, home media release, and building the film's brand identity. Major distributors like Universal, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros., Columbia Pictures, and Lionsgate distribute blockbuster franchises globally. How a film is distributed can significantly impact its box office performance. Self-distribution allows retaining full ownership but requires extensive marketing work, while distributors have existing relationships but take a share of profits.
Quesiton 3 (denya lara)
Twisted Pictures is an independent film production company known for horror films like Saw and Texas Chainsaw 3D. These films targeted similar audiences as the document proposes - males aged 22-39 interested in horror. Saw was very successful worldwide while Texas Chainsaw 3D earned $47 million globally and promoted with a leather face action figure. Grizzly Pictures is proposed as the distribution company, similar to Ghosthouse Pictures which distributed horror films like Evil Dead. Grizzly Pictures has screened the proposed film locally and plans online and DVD distribution with social media promotion like Paranormal Activity to reach wider audiences.
Task3powerpoint
A production company is responsible for the actual production of a film, including funding, distribution to film studios and cinemas, and promoting the film. The authors chose Paramount Pictures as their production and distribution company because it is a large, well-known studio that could ensure their film was seen widely in cinemas across the UK. A distributor is responsible for releasing films to the public through theatrical screenings or home video formats like DVD. Paramount has its own distribution arm, making it a simpler option. The authors felt Paramount had a wide variety of genres it distributed and their psychological thriller would fit with films like Shutter Island the studio had previously distributed.
Q3
This document considers options for screening an amateur psychological thriller film. ODEON cinemas are deemed unlikely due to the film's niche genre and lack of professional production values or famous actors. Local independent cinemas are a better option as they attract niche audiences and give opportunities to smaller producers. However, entering the film in a young filmmakers' competition would be the most probable choice, as such events aim to showcase amateur works without expectations for budgets or industry connections.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The document discusses how the student's film opening sequence is similar to big budget action films produced by major studios. It analyzes how a company like Columbia Pictures, which is part of Sony, could potentially distribute the film widely using extensive marketing campaigns across multiple media platforms. With a blockbuster marketing budget and distribution through major cinema chains and later DVD/streaming, the document argues the student's film could succeed financially and possibly become a film franchise.
How did you attract/address your audience?
The primary audience for the film is 10-17 year olds who have a burning desire to pursue their dreams of becoming footballers. The film will appeal to this age range through its plot of a young boy pursuing his football dream despite struggles. It also contains exciting scenes like accidents and bullying. There is also a secondary audience of older, ambitious viewers who can relate to the inspirational story of persevering despite feeling defeated. As an independent film, low-cost marketing strategies like social media, film festivals, blogs, playing the trailer in sports-related places, and free radio interviews were used to promote the film to its target audiences. The film also cast relatively popular actors known to its target demographics to grab audience attention.
Question 3
A major film distributor would be needed to distribute the film Imperium because it is a mainstream drama/crime film that appeals to a wide audience. Warner Bros. UK or Paramount Pictures UK would be good choices as they have experience distributing similar successful gangster genre films. The film would be shown in multiplex cinemas for easy accessibility by its target audience of those over 35 years old. YouTube and advertisements before other films or on mainstream TV channel ITV would help market the film.
Task 3
Paramount Pictures would be a good institution to distribute our thriller film aimed at teens and young adults. As a major global producer and distributor, Paramount has experience distributing similar genre films to our target audience worldwide. While self-distribution could allow us to keep profits, we cannot reach a global audience that way. Marketing strategies like trailers on TV channels teens watch, posters on buses and subways, and ads before similar films should help promote our film to our target demographic.
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. Independent British companies could access lottery funding but films must meet criteria. The conclusion is that Between the Eyes would be the best choice as it has had success and influence to get the film recognized in UK cinemas while maintaining its British identity.
How did you attract/address your audience?
Our film targets 10-17 year olds who have a passion for football dreams, as the main plot follows an aspirational young boy pursuing his football dream despite struggles. It will also appeal to older, ambitious viewers through its message of perseverance. As an independent film with limited advertising budget, we used mainly social media to promote the film through posters, trailers and reviews. We also screened the film at festivals and played the trailer at sports and youth centers to attract interested audiences. The relatively popular cast and exciting trailers helped grab our target audiences' attention.
Question 3
The document discusses choosing a film distributor to market and release a new action/thriller film. It recommends selecting a large distributor like Universal Pictures that has experience distributing similar genre films. Alternatively, it suggests Paramount Vantage could distribute the film, as they have experience with smaller, independent action and crime films. The target audience is males and females under 35, so the film would be released in multiplex cinemas and advertised during other movies to reach mainstream viewers who watch films both in theaters and online.
Big budget v small budget (1)
The document compares a big budget film, Avengers Assemble, produced by Marvel Studios, to a small budget film, Saw, produced by Twisted Pictures. Avengers Assemble had a budget of $220 million and grossed over $1.5 billion worldwide, while Saw had a tiny budget of $1.2 million but was still very profitable. Though Twisted Pictures is much smaller and less well-known than Marvel Studios, both companies have found success producing films within specific genres - Twisted Pictures with horror and Marvel Studios with superhero films.
Evaluation Question 3
A production company makes films and television programs. For example, Aardman Animations produced the Wallace and Gromit series. A distributor is responsible for releasing the film for public viewing on a set date. For a low budget, independent film like the one described, funding would likely come from the national lottery as larger distributors may not recognize it. Film credits typically include actors, editors, producers, and directors while distributors are only listed once a film is released on DVD. The described film is similar to the low budget, independently produced British comedy horror Sightseers.
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.
Evaluation Question 3
An independent company would likely distribute the film "Patient Zero" because it has a limited budget, unknown actors, and would be watched on a small scale. It would be filmed in accessible local locations to cut costs and wouldn't have extravagant worldwide distribution. Icon Film Distribution would be a good fit as they have experience distributing similar small, low-budget psychological thrillers in the UK like "Triangle" and "Felicia's Journey".
Institutional regulations and institutions profile
This document discusses plans for filming a low-budget movie in an abandoned building. It notes that permission will need to be obtained from the local council to film there and for any activities that could disturb local residents, such as using flares. The document also recommends finding a small, niche production company that prioritizes quality over profits to produce and distribute the film. Two potential companies, Warp Films and Vertigo Films, are identified for their experience with independent 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.
Question 3
This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using conglomerate film companies versus independent film companies to produce and distribute a film. The key advantages of conglomerate companies are their large existing audiences and industry contacts that can help guarantee some level of success. However, conglomerates also want control and conformity to genres, which limits creative freedom. Independent companies allow full creative control but have less name recognition and industry connections, making success less certain. The document concludes that a UK-based independent company would best suit the filmmaker's rural British thriller since it would permit breaking conventions and appealing to a domestic audience.
Evaluation question 3
This document discusses the stages of film production and distribution. It focuses on who could distribute a low-budget independent film. Film 4 is identified as a potential distributor because they have a reputation for distributing independent films that find success, including those targeting younger audiences. While Film 4 distributes similar horror genres, the film's lack of experience and professional quality make it a risk. Online distribution is proposed to help the film gain exposure and potentially move to channels like Film 4.
4. How Are Crime Dramas Made?
Crime dramas are made and marketed by television institutions like the BBC and commercial broadcasters. They schedule many crime dramas in prime-time slots between 7-11pm to target large family and adult audiences. Public service broadcasters like the BBC aim to entertain audiences of all types, while commercial channels focus on mainstream groups to attract advertisers. Crime dramas are heavily marketed using trailers, websites, magazine articles, and publicity photos to capitalize on the "CSI effect" and popularity of shows like CSI that increased demand for forensic crime genres.
Question 3
This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using conglomerate film companies versus independent film companies to produce and distribute a film. The key advantages of conglomerate companies are their large audience reach and industry contacts that can help get a film shown in cinemas. However, conglomerates require adhering to conventions and take a large share of profits. Independent companies give more creative freedom but have less audience reach and distribution contacts. The document concludes that an independent UK-based company would be the best option to allow the filmmakers' creativity while appealing to a UK audience.

The group researched psychological thriller films and found that Warner Brothers was a common major distributor. Warner Brothers had distributed successful psychological thrillers like The Orphan and Copycat. The group decided Warner Brothers would be the best choice to distribute their film because films they distributed had large budgets and earned close to double their budgets. A large budget would allow for better production quality and marketing. Warner Brothers' experience distributing similar films would also help the group make a memorable and effective film. Choosing a major well-known distributor like Warner Brothers would help publicize and promote the film, increasing the chances of success and profit.

It considers potential distribution companies like Entertainment One and StudioCanal that have experience distributing similar films. Marketing strategies are proposed like trailers, posters, and social media to promote the film. The film could appeal to both UK and broader international audiences. Self-distribution is also briefly discussed but determined to be less advantageous than using an experienced distribution company.
A2 Media Studies: Question 6
The document discusses how narrative is portrayed in movie trailers through three main elements: setting, climactic scenes, and protagonists. It provides examples from the trailers for The Woman in Black, Jessabelle, and Mama. The settings establish where the main story takes place. Climactic scenes hint at key plot points without revealing too much. And details about the protagonists, like their backstories or reactions, give insights into the narrative. Overall, the trailers use these elements to immerse viewers in the story and pique their curiosity without fully explaining the complete plot.

Analysing Previous Students Work
This document analyzes and summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of previous students' films. For the film "The Edge", strengths included establishing tension through juxtaposition in the opening scene, using camera positioning to show who was being chased, incorporating non-diegetic music that built tension and changed to suit scenes, and using long shots and dim lighting to create an atmosphere of tension. Weaknesses were that the dark lighting sometimes made it hard to see, acting was weak at times due to a lack of dialogue, and the title font was confusing. For the film "Angel Dust", the analysis did not provide any details about its strengths or weaknesses.
Planning
The document outlines the plot of a film featuring three main characters who are introduced in the opening. Each character will reveal the struggles they are facing privately - one with cyberbullying, another contemplating suicide, and another with an eating disorder. In the final scene, the characters will gather at their school hall to overcome their issues together. The narrative examines the struggles of adolescence faced by the characters in dealing with their personal issues alone without support. The genre is described as social realism, showing the everyday difficulties and conditions experienced by ordinary people.

A2 Media Studies Evaluation Q1
The document summarizes the planning and research done to create a film trailer and accompanying promotional materials. It analyzes three existing trailers and posters to identify common codes and conventions. Key influences included the trailer for Friday the 13th for establishing shots and character representations. The student's own trailer challenges conventions by not showing explicit violence. Both the poster and magazine cover were informed by research of other examples to conform to real media conventions like fonts, colors, and cover images while promoting the intended film.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the film challenges conventions of the post-apocalyptic genre. While typical openings show heroic protagonists fighting enemies, the film opens with the protagonist preparing for a journey alone. It also challenges conventions by featuring a teenage protagonist, which is rare for the genre. Some conventions are followed, like using a derelict house to portray a ruined world on a low budget. Overall, the film develops conventions enough that the genre is clear without feeling identical to other films through techniques like a character voiceover.
A2 Media Studies
The trailer summarizes the plot of the horror film Jessabelle. It shows Jessie retreating to her late father's mansion after losing her fiancé. There, she finds mysterious tapes from her deceased mother warning that Jessie is not alone in the house. Strange supernatural events begin occurring that threaten Jessie's safety. Intercut with shots of the haunted mansion are clips of Jessie's mother from the tapes and flashes of the threatening supernatural force. The trailer builds tension and mystery around Jessie's mother's secret and the threat pursuing Jessie in the house.
Film certification 2
The British Board of Film Classification introduced the first film rating system in 1912 to categorize different film types and ensure safety. Originally there were only two ratings - U for universal and A for adult. Over time, additional ratings were added like H for horror in 1932 and PG in 1982. Today the UK system has ratings from U to 18. Other countries also have their own film rating systems that vary in levels and regulations. Film ratings can impact audience sizes and sales by limiting who is allowed to view certain films. Spider-Man is an example of a film that may have been more successful without the 12 rating restriction in place at the time in the UK.

Analysing previous students work
This document analyzes and summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of previous students' films. For the film "The Edge", strengths included establishing tension through juxtaposition in the opening scene, using camera positioning to show who was being chased, incorporating non-diegetic music that built tension and changed to suit scenes, and using long shots and dim lighting to create an atmosphere of tension. Weaknesses were that the dark lighting sometimes made it hard to see, acting was weak at times due to a lack of dialogue, and the title font was confusing. For the film "Angel Dust", the analysis did not provide any details about its strengths or weaknesses.

Evaluation question 3
Peter Kirkman evaluated potential film distribution companies for his low-budget thriller film. He determined that Disney, Paramount Pictures, and Entertainment One would not be suitable as they primarily distribute big-budget films. Film4 was identified as the best option as it distributes both small, independent productions as well as larger films and has a similar target audience age range. If chosen, Film4 would likely give the film a one-time screening due to its small production scale. The film could also be advertised through online platforms and distributed via streaming sites as part of the shift to web-based media consumption.
Evaluation – question 3 finished
This document discusses distributing a small, low-budget romance film. It would likely be distributed by an independent distributor like Warp Films due to its small scale and budget. The target audience is teenage girls and young women under 35 who enjoy romance genres. The film would be marketed on television after 8pm on channels they watch, across social media sites, and in magazines targeted towards teenage girls to reach the intended audience.
Question 3
1) A film distributor is responsible for marketing and distributing a film, and can help secure financing. They determine the release date and method of exhibition.
2) The document recommends using a major distributor like Blumhouse Productions to release the film widely in multiplex cinemas. Major distributors have successful track records and name recognition that can attract audiences.
3) Low-budget horror films have been very successful, such as Paranormal Activity and Insidious, which cost $15,000 and $1.5 million respectively. With the right marketing, low budgets need not limit a film's profits.
Question 3
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute the opening sequence film. It suggests that independent distributors may be interested because it is a short clip with an affordable horror story line. It also analyzes the horror film Jeepers Creepers which was distributed in cinemas by Lions Gate Entertainment. Lions Gate has distributed similar small productions before, so they could potentially distribute the opening sequence film. Expanding the film with more details and scares may attract a wider audience to cinema screenings and turn a profit.
Evaluation Task 3
- The document discusses options for distributing an independent film produced outside of major studios
- It considers targeting independent distributors like StudioCanal UK that have experience with low-budget, niche films from new directors
- Self-distribution is discussed but deemed riskier due to lack of experience, resources, and connections that distributors provide
- The author proposes marketing the film differently in the UK/Ireland versus the US, playing up its depiction of unfamiliar British youth culture to American audiences
Evaluation task 3 new
Warner Brothers would be the best distributor for the film because they have successfully distributed many psychological thriller films in the past with large budgets. Their experience distributing films in this genre would help the film succeed and they have the resources to promote the film widely in theaters. Choosing a major distributor like Warner Brothers over a small independent one would give the film a better chance of being shown in cinemas rather than just released online or straight to DVD.
Evaluation Task 3 - Who would distribute my Thriller
An institution produces and distributes media, while a conglomerate owns multiple companies across industries like film, TV, music, and publishing. Vertical integration is when one company owns production, distribution, and exhibition, while horizontal integration expands within an industry. Film distribution makes movies available to audiences through theaters or online. Digital distribution delivers content like films over the internet instead of physical media. The document discusses different types of media companies and how they distribute films.
Film producers question
A production company is responsible for the physical production of media like films, television, or radio. They raise funds for productions and aim to sell their products to film studios. Castlefield Productions is one such company created by students to produce their film. Universal is a major film production company they partnered with due to its experience and success producing thriller films. Film distributors are responsible for releasing films to the public through cinemas or other releases. They have input into the filmmaking process and work to sell films to buyers who will lease them. Universal was also chosen as the distributor due to its experience and reputation distributing successful thrillers in both the US and UK. Isle of Man Films is a popular UK film funding company that

The document discusses various stages of film production and distribution for an independent film. It describes planning the production, including casting, scheduling, and considering genre and audience. It proposes partnering with independent production and distribution companies Warp Films and Vertigo Films for funding, marketing, and distribution assistance. Various marketing strategies are proposed, including radio, posters, online promotion, and soundtrack release. Distribution is suggested through independent cinemas, film festivals, and digital platforms like Netflix and Amazon to target their sophisticated audience.
Question 3
Warner Brothers would be the best media institution to distribute the film for three key reasons:
1) Although the film has unrealistic elements and does not fit neatly into one genre, Warner Brothers has experience distributing a wide variety of films beyond just sci-fi and action.
2) Warner Brothers has the latest filmmaking technologies and software that would be needed to fully develop the film.
3) While the film may not fit traditional Warner Brothers genres, parts could include action and Warner Brothers has found success distributing non-traditional films, suggesting they would distribute a diverse film like this one if it proved profitable.
Question three
Warner Brothers would be the best media institution to distribute the film because they are a major studio with their own distribution companies that can advertise the film widely and maximize profits. As a mainstream action film, it would likely be shown in large multiplex cinemas like Cineworld and Odeon to reach the largest possible audience. Advertising in cinemas, on film channels like FilmFour, and through banners on buses and YouTube videos would be effective ways to promote the film to its target audience.

Q 3
1) The document evaluates different options for distributing a film, including large conglomerate companies, independent distributors, and alternative methods like online streaming services.
2) While conglomerates offer name recognition and wide distribution, they are hard to work with and may take creative control. Independent distributors allow more profit and control but smaller reach.
3) The best option is distributing through an online streaming service like Netflix for a fast growing global audience, followed by the independent British distributor Warp Films. This balances wide release with maintaining the film's identity.
Evaluation 3
This document discusses plans for a psychological thriller film called "Dark Minds" produced by Element Productions. Element Productions chose Universal Pictures as their production company and distributor due to Universal's experience and success with blockbuster films. The budget will be spent on advertising a trailer to generate interest in the full film. The film is inspired by psychological thrillers like The Silence of the Lambs and Sinister that aim to unsettle viewers' minds rather than rely on graphic violence. Element Productions wants the film distributed on various platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, DVD, and in cinemas to reach a wide audience.
Evaluation question 3
Film4 may be interested in distributing the film because they distribute similar thriller genres in the UK and understand the target audience. Distributing with Film4 would benefit them by not changing their known audience. Advertising strategies for the film would include billboards in city centers, bus ads, and trailers before similar rated films in theaters to attract the target demographic. Online distribution through sites like Amazon Prime and Netflix as well as film festivals could also help reach audiences interested in this type of film.
Evaluation question 3
Revolver Entertainment and Momentum Pictures are suggested as appropriate UK-based independent film distribution companies to distribute the film. Revolver Entertainment has experience distributing thriller films including horror thrillers like House of Last Things. Momentum Pictures previously distributed major horror titles before being acquired but is looking to rebuild recognition. Working with these London-based companies would allow for easier communication and initial UK-only release to gauge critic reception before pursuing worldwide distribution.
Q3
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.
Question 3
The document discusses distributing a low-budget film. It suggests that an independent film company like Patchwork Productions would be more suitable than a major studio due to their lower budget needs. Distribution as a straight-to-DVD or downloadable online film is recommended as the cheapest options. Marketing through social media platforms and paper advertising is suggested over television due to budget constraints.
Evaluation question 3 media
The document discusses options for distributing a student film project called "Imperial Productions". It suggests that a small UK production company could be used to keep costs down since the film comes from an unknown studio. It also notes that film festivals are an opportunity to find investors and get distribution deals. The document considers how similar films have been distributed and whether this film could be released by a major studio or as a TV film.
Question 3
A film distributor is a company that releases films to theaters, TV, and online platforms. They promote the film and arrange showings. For a low budget independent film, a smaller, more independent distributor would be more affordable and could still successfully promote and distribute the film. Examples given of low budget films that did well with smaller distributors include Paranormal Activity and Four Weddings and a Funeral. Fox Searchlight Pictures is mentioned as a distributor that specializes in independent and British films and has had successes with low budget films.

Evaluation question 3
- 1. Evaluation question 3 What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? I believe that in the event our film was successful, the distribution company most likely to distribute our product would be warner brothers. This is because they have previously distributed films such as I am legend, this film shares similarities with our film and for that reason would do well if distributed by warner brothers. Due to our film sharing similarities with previous post-apocalyptic movies distributed by warner brothers, the target audience of 15-25 year olds will be attracted to our film. Looking at the demographics of previous post-apocalyptic films by warner brothers, it is likely that the film would be very successful with our initial target audience. This would be attractive to warner brothers as it would create the most revenue for them When our film was reaching the point where it was almost ready to be released, it is likely a teaser trailer would be released. What makes warner brother trailers effective is the fact that they alter their logo to match the style of the film they are shown before; here are a few examples of this When seelcting the clips from the film for the trailer, the clips chosen would be the type of scnes that appeal most to the target audience of the film. For example due tio the film being posy apocalyptic, shots in the trailer could include things suggesting the reason for the apocal without giving too much away. The trailer would also include snippets of action. All tralers released by warner brothers can be found on the warner brothers youtube channel, here fans can watch the films and leave feedback. Also the trailer will get played before apropraite films at cinemas. This is usefull because they can play it before films of a similar genre. Automaticlly reaching out to the target audience.
- 2. When I conducted my research on distribution companies I did not consider warner brothers as a possible distributor for my product, however I now feel it is the most apropriate. I previously reserched paramount. Paramount pictures is another company I looked into, however after watching clips and film openings from paramount, I felt that our film shared more silmilarities with the warner brothers films. We wanted to choose a distribution company that has already had success with films like ours. We felt that warner brothers had, and paramount had not done this. Walt disney studios is the third distibution company I looked at to possibly distibute our product. We felt that trhis was a very poor option as walt disney mainly focus on light hearted films that share very few similarities with our film. This would mean a smaller amount of people would see our film if distributed by this company so would decrease revenue
- 3. A third film company looked into is ‘vertigo films’. They are an indipendant film distibution compant and would be effective in the case that our film does not take the world by storm but is intead, mainly succesfull in this country alone. We belive that vertigo films would allow our film to be succesfull in the UK due to their previous success with relativlly small budget british films. They include films such as ‘the football factory’ and ‘the sweeny’. These gritty british films share similiratities with our film which leads us to believe our film would share similar success. To conclude, I feel that if our film was to make it big time. Warner brothers would definitely be the most apropriate distibution company. This was due to a combination of factors including their world wide influence as well as their previous success with films very simmilar to ours. However whilst our film is still relativlly small time, an indipendant film company like vertigo. This is because although I believe our film would see success with warner brother, veryigo films would be the better option to spread the film through the UK, which is more of a realistic option.
