Q3
This document discusses potential media institutions that might distribute an independent, low-budget British thriller film called "Homeless". It suggests that regional independent cinemas like Picturehouse cinemas would be most likely exhibitors, specifically CinemaCity in Norwich where the film is set. It also argues online streaming services like LoveFilm and Channel 4 or Film4 television would provide good outlets for wider audiences due to their experience distributing similar British films. Mainstream cinema chains and most UK broadcasters are seen as less suitable due to their focus on large, mainstream audiences.
Idependent film vs multiplex
Stoke Film Theatre shows a wider variety of independent, foreign, and non-mainstream films compared to multiplex cinemas. Multiplex cinemas aim to make a profit by appealing to broad audiences with popular mainstream genres like comedy, romance, and action films. While multiplexes offer more total choices, their selections emphasize big commercial releases and cater mostly to mainstream tastes in order to earn higher revenues. Independent theaters help ensure diversity in cinema by providing access to films from different cultures and perspectives that might not otherwise reach audiences.
Q3
The document discusses potential media distributors for a film. It identifies Working Title and Warner Brothers as two suitable options, with Working Title being a British company that has produced many British films, and Warner Brothers being a major American studio that has produced thriller films like The Dark Knight that inspired the film. It also recommends using social media like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to advertise the film and encouraging people to watch it in cinemas for a better viewing experience.
Evaluation q3
An independent, low-budget British film about social issues would likely be distributed by smaller institutions targeting niche audiences, rather than mainstream channels. It would have a limited release in independent cinemas like Picturehouse theaters, rather than large chains. Specifically, the film discussed would plausibly premiere at CinemaCity in Norwich, as the film is set there, just as other locally-set films have premiered in their filming locations to attract local audiences interested in familiar settings. The film would also see distribution on DVD and streaming platforms to expand its audience beyond its theatrical run.
Distribution
The document discusses choosing Pathé Films as the distributor for a British film. Pathé was established in 1896 and has a distribution network through 20th Century Fox and Warner Brothers. Pathé has successfully distributed films with similar target audiences and genres to the author's film, such as Adulthood and The Virgin Suicides. Both films were coming-of-age dramas and performed well at the box office despite small budgets. Pathé's past distribution successes with comparable films makes them a suitable choice to maximize funding and audience for the author's British-produced coming-of-age movie.
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.
Film exhibition
This document provides information about three different cinema options in the UK:
Cineworld Milton Keynes, The BFI Southbank, and The Rex Cinema in Berkhamsted. It summarizes the facilities, types of films shown, audiences catered to, locations, and some potential issues for each: multiplex cinemas like Cineworld versus independent cinemas like The BFI and The Rex. The document also discusses how the internet has changed film exhibition by allowing audiences to watch films online through services like Netflix and Amazon, as well as helping film companies market to wider audiences.
Fish Tank Case study - Cross Media Convergence and Synergy
The document provides information about the 2009 British drama film "Fish Tank", including its release date, filming location in London, production companies, budget and box office revenues, promotion at film festivals, and awards won including the Jury Prize at Cannes Film Festival. It discusses how the film's social realism genre and unknown actors may have affected audiences differently than the popular romantic comedy "Four Weddings and a Funeral" starring Hugh Grant, which had broader national appeal through its relatable themes and middle-class focus.

Independent vs mainstream cinemas
This document summarizes 10 different cinemas in the UK, including both mainstream cinemas like Odeon and Cineworld and independent cinemas like Prince Charles Cinema and Shortwave Cinema. It provides details on the types of films shown at each cinema, noting that mainstream cinemas primarily screen major blockbuster films while independent cinemas focus more on art films and smaller productions. The document suggests that independent cinemas attract more film-focused audiences interested in unique cinematic experiences, while mainstream cinemas appeal more broadly to families and those seeking popular films.
Evaluation q3 unmarked
Working Title Films is a British production company suited for independent, low-budget films like ours. Momentum Pictures distributes about 20 films per year to theaters in the UK and has a division for independent features. Picture House Films shows similar low-budget independent films but may not attract our target teenage audience. Odeon and Vue cinemas are major UK chains that could profitably reach our target demographic but may rarely show a small, independent film.
Question 3
The document discusses potential distribution options for an independent, low-budget thriller film. It analyzes why large chain cinemas and major TV networks would be unlikely given the film's scale. Better prospects mentioned include smaller UK film festivals in London focusing on student/indie films, and independent cinemas in London and Bristol that showcase new work. Young filmmakers competitions are highlighted as a good opportunity to screen the film. Online filmmaking forums are also identified as places for independent filmmakers to share knowledge and seek advice.
Media question 3
The document discusses potential film distributors for a low-budget production. It suggests that a small local film company called Alfresco would be a good choice as they have a low budget like the production and are more accessible than major Hollywood studios. It believes the film is good enough quality to be shown on TV despite the lack of expensive equipment or professionals. Alfresco would be more receptive than larger American companies due to their size and focus on British productions.
Warp film
Warp Film is an independent British film company based in London and Sheffield. As an independent studio, it has more limited funding than major studios but seeks financing from various UK film councils and organizations. It stresses the importance of using short films to impress potential funders and get noticed. Some of Warp Film's biggest successes include This Is England, which won several awards, and Submarine, which had a small £1.2 million budget but made over £2 million in profits. However, some of its films like Bunny and the Bull and Grow Your Own were financial flops. Warp Film's success is attributed to securing funding from multiple UK sources and producing low-budget films that are acclaimed and commercially successful.
Question 3
Retina Productions is a small, independent film distribution company that specializes in distributing independent films. The company will have a restricted local release of a low-budget film called Love into six independent cinemas around East London for one week. They will sell 100 DVDs of the film outside each cinema and have promoted it through social media and low-cost posters and flyers in East London due to their limited budget.
Interception
A spy agent is assigned to stop a bombing attack planned for East London. During the investigation, the spy receives help from intelligence services to locate the suspect by tracking their phone location. The film was produced by students with no additional budget. Equipment and costumes were provided by the school. Permission was granted to film in some specific places.
Q3 evaluation
There are three main levels of film distributors: local independent distributors, major Hollywood studios, and British distributors. British distributors like Verve Pictures focus on distributing smaller independent films to UK audiences due to their typically low budgets. While Hollywood studios distribute big-budget blockbusters globally, British films aim to attract audiences in the UK through festivals, online, and regional distribution to maintain low costs. The document discusses how a small, London-based independent film was distributed domestically in the UK by Candi Media Productions due to its regional focus and ability to work with low-budget films that lack star power for global distribution.

Warp Films is an independent film company based in London and Sheffield that produces low-budget films that often go on to critical and commercial success. They receive funding from various UK sources like the BFI and Film4. While their films have small budgets, many end up profitable at the box office and win numerous awards. Some of their most acclaimed films that found both success and acclaim include This is England and Submarine. Their ability to produce unique films on tight budgets that resonate with audiences is what makes Warp Films a successful independent studio.
Evaulation question 3
Is my film a British or Hollywood film? why? what distribution companies would be interested? what production companies would be interested?
Introduction to short films
Short films tell concise stories from a main character's perspective, often focusing on difficult topics not covered in mainstream films. They give filmmakers more creative freedom and the ability to take risks as they have a specific target audience. Good short films have exciting plots, strong scripts, appropriate actors, and high production values and new techniques. The London Short Film Festival is a premiere UK showcase for independent short films that has been running for 13 years, accepting both domestic and international submissions. It is an important event for young UK creative talent and short film fans.
Film Distributions
Distribution involves releasing films in cinemas and on DVD to keep them available to audiences. The distributor's main jobs are to negotiate with cinema chains like VUE and Cineworld to schedule when and for how long a film will play, and to organize the logistics of getting films from producers to retailers and rental companies through various distribution methods. Effective distribution is important for marketing films and keeping them available on local markets worldwide.
Jamie schwartz presentation
The document outlines a marketing campaign for the historical drama film "The King's Speech" which was facing a competitive release environment. The brief called for a campaign that would unite the British nation behind the film and position it as a "British institution". The campaign targeted both older and younger cinema-going audiences using inspirational imagery in posters, newspapers, and on public transport. The results of the campaign were very successful, with the film grossing over £3.5 million in its opening weekend and becoming the most successful independent British film of all time.

An independent film industry like Warp Films would be best suited to distribute the author's low-budget film. Independent film industries provide funding for smaller, lower-budget films. Warp Films is a British digital film company founded in 1989 that has successfully distributed comedy films on a limited budget through social media advertising. As the author's film also has a low-budget, an independent distributor like Warp Films that specializes in this type of film could effectively distribute it through social media sites.
Film Distributions - Logisitics
Distribution involves releasing films in cinemas and on DVD to keep them available to audiences. Distributors negotiate with cinema chains to determine when and for how long a film will play in theaters. They must also organize getting DVDs from producers to retailers and rental companies, as well as distributing film reels which cost thousands of pounds each to cinema companies that typically rent rather than purchase them.
The Inbetweeners
The Inbetweeners Movie was a spin-off from a successful British TV series that enjoyed 3 seasons. The film had a very successful opening weekend at the box office, grossing over £13 million and becoming the most successful comedy film opening in the UK. It retained the #1 spot for 4 weeks. The film was produced by Bwark Films and distributed by Entertainment Film Distributors. It had a primarily young male audience who were fans of the TV show. The DVD release in December also performed very well, becoming one of the fastest selling British home media releases that year.
Institutions two
The UK Film Council, Film Four, and Vertigo Films are three institutions that could potentially distribute the filmmakers' opening sequence. The UK Film Council distributes around £54 million annually from the lottery and government to support short films and film production. Film Four invests around £500,000 per film for their 20 films produced per year, making their budget suitable. Vertigo Films is an independent film company that funds films of varying budgets and allows films to be downloaded, helping redistribute films and provide new experiences, making them the best institution to exhibit the filmmakers' opening sequence.
Distribution Company
The document discusses choosing a film distribution company, listing several options including New Line Cinema, Paramount, Anchor Bay, and Compass International. It recommends Lionsgate, a large conglomerate that can provide worldwide distribution similar to their distribution of The Haunting in Connecticut, which earned over $55 million globally on a $10 million budget.

This document analyzes and compares three potential UK film distributors - StudioCanal, Soda Pictures, and Vertigo Films - for a small independent British production company. StudioCanal is selected as they have experience working with small British companies and distributing films both domestically and internationally. While Soda Pictures and Vertigo Films have strengths, StudioCanal is deemed the best partner due to its size, experience, and track record of successfully distributing similar independent and British films.
What kind of media institution might distribute your
The UK Film Council would likely have distributed the filmmaker's zombie film. As a now-defunct organization, the UK Film Council backed over 900 films, including features and shorts from upcoming directors. They produced 28 Days Later, a similar zombie apocalypse film. While BBC Films and Big Talk Productions make films, they likely would not have selected a low-budget zombie horror. Film 4 produces challenging lower-budget British films but their horror selections do not relate closely to the filmmaker's concept. The UK Film Council would help address any budget issues.
Shifty case study
This is a complex question without a straightforward answer. A film's success is usually determined by both its appeal and the resources devoted to distributing and marketing it. Here are a few key points:
- A highly appealing film is more likely to find an audience, but it still needs exposure through distribution and marketing channels to reach its potential viewers.
- Marketing and promotion help raise awareness of a film and convey what it's about, which is important for driving interest and ticket/DVD sales. This is especially true for independent films with limited budgets.
- Wider distribution through more cinemas and territories increases the chances of finding an audience. However, distribution is costly and not guaranteed to overcome lack of appeal.

It considers several film studios and schemes, ultimately identifying the Film London Microwave scheme as the best option. The Microwave scheme supports micro-budget films developed in London through funding from the BFI. It also discusses the benefits of a simultaneous release strategy for the film across cinema, DVD, video on demand to reduce marketing costs and maximize revenue from various sales channels.

This document discusses potential film distributors for a supernatural horror film called 3:17AM produced by an independent UK film company called TC Productions. It analyzes that an art house release of around 20 prints to cinemas would be suitable given the small budget. Potential distributors discussed are Microwave Film, StudioCanal UK, and Warp X.

Assignment #10
Film distribution companies are responsible for releasing films to the public through cinema screenings or home video releases like DVD. There are different types of distributors that specialize in certain genres or budget levels. For a low-budget British film that wouldn't require expensive stunts or be a major blockbuster, the author considered smaller, low-budget British distributors would be the best fit to target the film's audience.

Our product is created by an independent production company called "Alpha Pictures" which oversees the project from concept to completion. They are responsible for the budget, crew, script, and scheduling. An independent distributor is needed to fund and distribute the supernatural thriller film to cinemas, DVD/Blu-ray. The distributor negotiates deals with exhibitors. To attract potential distributors and funding, the film company could enter independent film festivals in the UK like the London Independent Film Festival. The British Film Institute and UK Film Council are willing to fund first-time independent producers with budgets under £2 million, though they only provide production funds not distribution. Paramount Pictures may potentially distribute if the film performs well with a
Q.3
A small independent production company called Drunken Monkey Productions would be well-suited to distribute the media product because it focuses on independent films with niche audiences. Drunken Monkey Productions makes small, risky films that sometimes gain cult followings and profits despite low budgets. Alternatively, the small distribution company FlobrosFilms could handle the film by showing it in independent cinemas and select large theaters for a limited time to attract audiences before the opportunity ends. Distributing with a small, British company like FlobrosFilms is more affordable and efficient than using a larger one to show the film, which has a British target audience, in cinemas across the country.
Evaluation question 3 Marco
This document evaluates potential media institutions that could distribute a psychological thriller film. It is suggested that independent cinemas, film festivals like the British Film Institute Festival, and online streaming services on platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube would be good fits. The document analyzes current films showing at local cinemas and determines they do not typically feature psychological thrillers. It is concluded independent cinemas and online streaming would provide the broadest reach and be best suited to showcase the film.
Evaluation presentation media
Film 4 would be the most suitable media institution to distribute the film. As an independent British film made on a small budget, it would best fit the profile of films typically distributed by Film 4 rather than larger studios. Film 4 has experience distributing similar small, independent British films that achieved success, such as The Inbetweeners Movie. While other potential distributors like BBC Films or Entertainment Film Distributors may also be good fits and have advantages, Film 4 is a more realistic choice given the scale of the film and Film 4's track record of marketing and finding audiences for comparable films.
Production Companies
The document discusses several film production companies and their relevance to producing a psychological thriller film for a British audience. It notes that one British company mainly produces films for a British, mature audience and produced "We Need to Talk About Kevin". It mentions that Fox Searchlight Pictures has a high budget and produced "Black Swan". Another British company produces films that appeal to a British audience. Finally, it outlines that a British horror film producer could work but has a lower budget, and Netflix is moving into film production but films would only be on their site.
Evaluation Q3
Revolver Entertainment would be a suitable distributor for the film "Paperchain" for three reasons:
1) Revolver specializes in distributing thriller genres like "Paperchain" and has experience with films set in London.
2) Distributing with Revolver would help establish the film's actors and actresses in the UK market.
3) "Paperchain" presents a unique psychological thriller perspective set in London that has not been widely seen before, unlike typical UK films about gangs and drugs.
Evaluation question 3
The document discusses the distribution and production companies used for a low budget thriller film. For distribution, the filmmakers created their own company called THOR Distribution due to copyright issues and the low budget. For production, they used Candi Studios, a smaller independent company funded by the city, as they were pleased to collaborate on the low budget film. These two companies were best suited for the low budget thriller. The film was given a cinematic release at The Screen in Angel, Islington and will have a 250 DVD release alongside an internet release on Vimeo.

British independent films typically have lower budgets than Hollywood blockbusters because British production companies cannot afford large budgets. Most British films do not use many production and distribution companies either, as they cannot pay for production and distribution due to their small budgets. In contrast, Hollywood blockbusters have higher budgets as they are funded by major conglomerates like Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. These large companies can afford big budgets for popular films that attract large audiences.

Evaluation question 3
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a media product. It suggests that Netflix would be a good option due to its history of supporting independent films and having a catalog of similar genre films. Certain multiplex cinemas could also work as some have shown independent British films before. The BFI cinema may be suitable since it occasionally shows indie films to engage varied audiences, in addition to major films.
Momentum pics
Momentum Pictures is one of the leading independent film distributors in the UK and Ireland, releasing around 20 films per year. The document's author has chosen Momentum Pictures to distribute their film "Injustice" because Momentum has a track record of commercial success with both low-budget British films and bigger-budget movies with top stars. They believe Momentum could help push the thriller to success internationally, not just in Britain, as the film deals with relevant issues around terrorism and the hierarchy system in a traditional British setting that could appeal widely.
Presentation for pitch
The document provides details about a proposed film titled "Murder" including a summary, cast, crew, and budget. It discusses choosing well-known British actors like Kaya Scodelario, Luke Pasqualino, and Daniel Kaluuya for the lead roles. The film has a budget of over £3 million and involves 8 weeks of filming. The target audience is teenagers aged 12-18, especially males, as the horror genre will appeal to them. The proposed release date is in August to coincide with school holidays.
Evaluation 3
The document discusses potential distribution outlets for a short film opening sequence with no budget. It notes that major cinema chains like the Odeon would not be suitable due to the very short length and lack of profit potential. Independent cinemas also may not accept it if the genre is not popular locally. Online indie websites are suggested as they have lower costs and barriers. Television stations like BBC and Film4 that seek to make profits are also not realistic options. The conclusion is that platforms like BBC Three or free online movie websites may be best for a no-budget short film.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

evaluation question 3
- 1. Takeapicture,it’lllastlonger Independent British film company, quite small scale but it is god for helping small films to be produced. British film distributer, it has distributed films such as Lady Macbeth and is quite a large independent British distributer and so would be good to get our film across to wide audiences. It will be released on the 31st of October 2017, this will be the best day to release the film because, as it is a thriller the best seasonal time to release it would be around Halloween time, this is because most horror and thriller films are in demand then because they relate to the time of year. Our funding for the film was very low budget, we had £100,000 that was funded to us from the BFI in order to complete the film and we made £200,000 from the sales of the film. The film is shown at small film festivals and at big cinemas when they have events for low budget movies as our film is an independent low budget film.
