Independent film companies
The document summarizes information about several independent film production companies - Film4, BBC Films, Imagine Entertainment, Miramax, and Village Roadshow Pictures. It provides details on films produced by each company such as title, release date, budget, and genre. It also describes the typical target audience for each company's films. While the production companies sometimes attract similar audiences, their budgets vary dramatically with Village Roadshow Pictures having the highest budgets comparable to major studios.
Collective identity & UK film
This document discusses collective identity and British culture. It defines collective identity as a shared sense of belonging to a group and examines how British culture and films are defined. British films are divided into 5 categories based on factors like director, cast, production company, and level of British involvement and investment. Independent films typically have lower budgets than commercial films and feature unknown actors and urban settings, while commercial films are larger blockbusters released in cinemas. Case studies of the independent film Anuvahood and commercial film Bridget Jones's Diary illustrate these differences.
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.
Revengeance
The document provides a plot summary and background information for a film about an 18-year-old named Micky who turns to crime to support his ill mother after his father's gang-related death. Micky also seeks revenge against the gang responsible. Throughout his struggles, Micky falls in love with a girl named Rachel who is later killed, causing Micky to continue his quest for revenge until he is also murdered. The document then provides details on the target audience, production companies, locations and research done for the film.
Evaluation Question 3
Film 4 Entertainment would be a suitable initial distributor for the independent British film as it would showcase British talent. The film would likely gain attention at film festivals which could then attract the interest of a major studio like 20th Century Fox, known for distributing thoughtful films based on real events. 20th Century Fox's global distribution would expose the film and its story of the infamous Milwaukee Cannibal to broad audiences worldwide.
Casestudy fishtank
This document summarizes and compares two films, Fish Tank and The Hangover, in terms of their target audiences. Fish Tank, a British drama about a teenage girl, was aimed specifically at British audiences who would relate to the locations and language. In contrast, The Hangover, a comedy about a bachelor party in Las Vegas, featured famous American actors and locations that made it appealing to global audiences, while still adjusting the offensive language to suit different markets. Both films' marketing and the issues they raised demonstrate how content is tailored for specific national or local audiences.
Institutional research
This document discusses research into film companies and their horror films. It focuses on 20th Century Fox, Hammer Films, and certification ratings. 20th Century Fox is a major Hollywood studio known for franchises like Star Wars but also distributed some horror films. Hammer Films was a UK company famous for Gothic horror films in the 1960s. Certification ratings aim to classify films by age groups to target appropriate audiences. The document also provides details about the production, distribution, credits and release date that would be researched for a hypothetical horror film called "The Black Forest."

Britsh Films vs American Films
British films: famous films, ideologies usually seen in British films, production companies and funding.
American films: famous films, ideologies usually seen in American films, production companies and funding.
British vs American films
- British films tend to focus on reality and middle-class people while portraying different areas of the country, whereas American films portray an idealized "American Dream" and the entire British population as posh Londoners.
- British films receive government funding and support from smaller production companies to promote less mainstream films, while American films have larger budgets from major studios like Universal, Warner Bros, Disney, and Paramount to film in exotic locations with more CGI effects.
- Both British and American films are distributed by major companies, but British films also rely on smaller independent distributors to promote smaller films and get them into film festivals.
Working titles
Working Titles was founded in 1983 and produced films independently until partnering with Polygram in 1992. This partnership helped Working Titles grow and find success producing films for Universal. Universal's involvement helped Working Titles appeal to American audiences through adaptations that included American elements, leading to much higher domestic box office gross in the US. Key figures like Richard Curtis and recurring actors like Hugh Grant were also important to Working Titles' popular romantic comedies that targeted female audiences. When distributing films in the US, modifications were sometimes made to marketing, like alternative posters that focused less on British stars and more on storylines, to appeal to American audiences.
Warp and Working Titles
Warp Films and Working Titles are two British film production companies. Working Titles started as an independent company but was later bought by Universal Studios, giving it access to extensive international distribution. It produces films with well-known actors that have wide appeal. Warp Films is an independent company based in Sheffield and London that produces lower-budget films with less-known actors and more stylistic or controversial stories, relying on word-of-mouth for success. It distributes films more narrowly in the UK and Europe at first before expanding, if successful. Examples of films by each company, like Notting Hill and Submarine, illustrate their different approaches to production and distribution.
Question 3
Entertainment Film Distributors would be the most suitable company to distribute my film. As a British distributor of independent films in the UK and Ireland, they specialize in backing newcomers and low-budget films. They have distributed several romantic comedies, the genre of my film, including Run Fatboy Run, 17 Again, and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Their experience distributing popular romantic comedies in this genre would help ensure wide exposure for my film. Other companies like Momentum Pictures and Artificial Eye were less suitable - Momentum does not work with many low-budget projects and Artificial Eye focuses on art house and foreign films instead of my genre.
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.
Warp films
Warp Records founded Warp Films to produce music videos and short films. Warp Films' first short film to gain attention was Chris Morris' "My Wrongs", which won a BAFTA in 2003. Warp Films' breakthrough film was Shane Meadows' 2007 film "This Is England" which cost just £1.5 million to produce. Warp Films distributes its films through different partners in different countries to maximize exposure. It also promotes its films through the artists on its record label, like giving Richard Ayoade the opportunity to direct videos for Arctic Monkeys which later led to him directing the Warp Films production "Submarine".
Media powerpoint
This document discusses film distribution and potential options for distributing a low-budget drama film about an abusive relationship. It provides examples of major film distribution companies and explains that while companies like Columbia Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox have distributed similar drama films in the past, they may not be interested in a low-budget film. As a result, the document suggests exploring smaller distributors and alternative distribution strategies like film festivals and self-distribution on DVD.
Distribution
The document analyzes different film distribution companies to find the most suitable one for a low-budget media project. It reviews several action films and their distributors, including Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate, Magnolia Pictures, and Vertigo Films. The analysis determines that world-wide companies would not be interested due to the low budget, and recommends focusing on independent distributors that have successfully marketed similar small-scale films.
Target audience profile
This document provides a target audience profile for a film production. The target audience is males ages 15-35, as the film will contain adult content rated 15 by the BBFC. It will include themes of violence, crime, and detective work. The target audience enjoys being knowledgeable about films and writing reviews. They likely enjoy crime-focused movies and games like LA Noir or Heavy Rain. They also enjoy reading crime novels and listening to jazz or classical music. The psychographic profile that best fits the target audience is "The Reformer" - they value quality and intellectual entertainment over what is simply new or mainstream.
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.
As evaluation question 3
This document discusses distribution strategies for different types of films. It notes that the film Monsters had a cinema and DVD release distributed by Vertigo Films that earned 10 times the production budget. It was also distributed through video on demand on Momentum's website. Avatar had a huge global cinema release enabled by digital copies to prevent piracy. Iron Sky had a limited worldwide success, while a single day theatrical release and same week DVD release by Revolver Entertainment was a disaster. The author proposes distributing their low-budget, Tarantino-inspired British film similar to Monsters, by carefully targeting fans of specific genres as Monsters targeted monster movie and low-budget film fans.
The Source x Contraband Recap Final (2012)
This document outlines a 360 marketing campaign for the film "Contraband" that includes print, digital, social media, and press components. It discusses advertising in The Source magazine, digital ads on The Source's website and YouTube channel, promoted social media posts, and press coverage including articles and interviews. It also summarizes the results of exclusive screenings held in Philadelphia, Chicago, and Atlanta through partnerships with radio stations and grassroots marketing distributing passes to various local businesses. The screenings had high attendance rates between 75-98% capacity and engaged audiences.
Evaluation question 4- Lydia Sear
The document discusses the target audience for a gangster film containing graphic violence and strong language. It determines that the film would receive a 15 rating from the BBFC. Therefore, the target audience would be those aged 15 and older. Specifically, it aims to attract young adults and teens who are drawn to the rebellious nature of gangster characters. It also aims to appeal to patriotic Londoners through its portrayal of a British gangster character conducting business in New York while maintaining his British traits and accent.
Wolf of wall street trailer analysis
The trailer for The Wolf of Wall Street analyzes Jordan Belfort's rise from an entry-level job on Wall Street to founding his own highly successful but fraudulent brokerage firm. Through dialogue highlighting the immense wealth Belfort attained, scenes depicting lavish lifestyles and expensive possessions, and cinematography establishing Belfort's dominance over the FBI investigation into his actions, the trailer aims to intrigue audiences with the excesses of the financial world and life above the law that immense wealth can provide. Editing the credits to the beat of the soundtrack helps the audience easily follow the information being presented about the film.
Case Study: Bad Boy
Bullet Boy is a 2004 British drama film directed by Saul Dibb, starring UK rapper Ashley Walters. It tells the story of Ricky, a young man recently released from prison who struggles to leave behind a life of gang violence in London. The film realistically depicts the effects of Ricky's lifestyle on his family, particularly his younger brother. Though initially passed with a 12A rating due to its depiction of serious social issues, Bullet Boy was ultimately rated 15 for its strong language, violence and depiction of a brief but graphic sex scene. It went on to gross over £450,000 at the UK box office.
Life just is
This document provides information about the independent British film "Life Just Is", including its production company, cast, crew, distribution, marketing, and screening history. It was independently produced by Asalva and Patchwork Production and distributed by Independent Film Company. It tells the story of five university graduates struggling with adulthood. The film was promoted through social media and screened at several film festivals in the UK, including the Edinburgh International Film Festival, before its theatrical run at the BFI Southbank in London.
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.
Working Title vs. Warp Films
Working Title Films is a major British film production company founded in 1983 that is owned by Universal Studios, allowing it to produce high-budget films with famous actors and special effects. It produces mainly comedy and action films across a variety of genres. Warp Films is an independent British company founded by Warp Records that produces lower-budget, realistic dramas starring unknown actors that appeal to audiences by portraying relatable themes and portraying the real world rather than Hollywood productions. Examples of successful films by each company are provided.
As media evaluation question 3
This document discusses distribution strategies for low-budget films. It analyzes how Vertigo Films and other companies have successfully distributed similar films. Vertigo Films distributes low-budget British films and helped films like Monsters (2010) find audiences. The document also discusses the fictional film Mendacity (2017), which will be distributed by the made-up company W Studios using strategies inspired by Vertigo Films, targeting fans of low-budget British crime thrillers.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The document discusses film distribution and the factors a distributor considers when deciding how to distribute a film. It describes the film being summarized as a low-budget British mystery thriller targeting audiences aged 15-40 interested in the genre. As the film has a niche crime/thriller audience without major stars, it would be distributed by a small British company like Vertigo Films or Film 4 rather than a large Hollywood studio. These small independent distributors focus on low-budget, niche films without major star power.

Recursion
The document discusses recursion, which is a technique that solves a problem by solving smaller instances of the same problem. It provides examples of recursive functions, including factorial, combinations, multiplication, Fibonacci, and greatest common divisor (GCD). Recursive functions contain a base case with a straightforward solution and recursively define the problem in terms of smaller instances until reaching the base case. C uses a call stack to maintain the state of each recursive call.

Independent production companies
The document discusses four independent film studios - Film4, BBC Films, Imagine Entertainment, and Miramax Films. For each, it lists some of their films from the last five years, common genres, example budgets compared to major studios, and the audiences they tend to attract. A fifth section discusses Village Roadshow Pictures and its co-productions with major studios across a variety of genres to attract a wide audience.
Distributors
Studio Canal primarily targets older audiences with thrillers and action films like Non-Stop and RoboCop. They have some comedic films like Paddington to reach different audiences. Their genres include action thrillers and comedy. Studio Canal has won many awards since 1986 for films like The Graduate and The Deer Hunter. While they distribute high-quality, award-winning films across genres, they may not be the best fit for a thriller-genre film since they have not widely distributed thrillers in the past.
Everybody's Fine
1) The marketing plan for the film "Everybody's Fine" targets adult audiences over 25, especially females, and will position the film as a family drama about togetherness and hope.
2) Advertising will include a large TV campaign, print ads in magazines, and an online presence to promote the film's release in mid-November.
3) The film aims for a wide theatrical release across over 3,000 screens to take advantage of its star power and generate an expected $60 million domestic box office total.
Independent company research
The document discusses several independent film companies and details their productions, audiences, and awards. Film 4 is a British digital TV channel that produces films for audiences aged 15-25, such as The Inbetweeners Movie. American Honey, produced by Film 4, won several awards and its target audience was 18-24. BBC Films is the filmmaking arm of the BBC, founded in 1990. Its films aim for an older, insightful audience. Miramax Films produces mainstream films targeted at younger viewers. Imagine Films' audience includes those who enjoy mainstream and romantic comedies. Village Roadshow Pictures produces films for a wide range of ages and genres. The document also provides examples of production budgets for small and large films.
Film
This distributor, Pathé, typically distributes drama films based on true stories with older target audiences and age-appropriate content. Their films include Mandela, The Queen, and The Duchess. While they work on low-budget British films, their focus on drama does not align well with the thriller genre being proposed. Their target audience would also differ from the younger audience envisioned for this film.
Vertigo
Studio Canal's main target audience is older viewers for thriller films like Non-Stop, but they have also distributed family films like Paddington. They have a long history of award-winning films dating back to 1986, including Oscars for The Graduate and The Deer Hunter. While Studio Canal is a well-known distributor that covers many genres and high-quality films, they may not be the best fit as they do not have much experience distributing thrillers for a younger audience.
Working titles & warp pictures
This document discusses several films produced by Working Title Films and compares British and American films. It provides details on the budgets, box office performances, directors, and target audiences for films like Rush, Thunderbirds, Paul, '71, Four Lions, and This Is England. Overall, it finds that British films focus more on realism and portraying everyday life accurately, while American films emphasize fantasy, humor, and visual effects to broaden their appeal.
Institutions
This document discusses major film institutions from around the world including the US, UK, France, Germany, India, Spain, and Australia. It provides examples of major production companies from each country/region and notes they each produce different genres of films and television shows. Smaller, independent production companies tend to have smaller budgets and distribute their films differently than larger, major studios. The success of a film depends on factors like the involved actors, director, and production company. Film awards are also discussed as a way for films and their creators to be recognized.
Fish tank case study
Fish Tank is a 2009 British drama film directed by Andrea Arnold. It had a budget of $3 million and grossed $5.9 million worldwide. It was produced by BBC Films, UK Film Council, and other production companies. The film focuses on a British teenage girl living in a working-class neighborhood and won several awards including the BAFTA for best British film. The targeted audience is British as the film depicts certain aspects of British culture that may not be as recognizable or relatable to international audiences.
Alex Richards- Christmas work
This document provides information on the marketing campaigns for several films released in late 2010, including Meet the Parents: Little Fockers, Love & Other Drugs, TRON: Legacy, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, 127 Hours, and Gulliver's Travels. It lists the genre, release date, director, distributor, stars, and details of the marketing strategies which included online promotion through trailers and websites as well as offline advertising through television, billboards, and point of sale materials like posters and cutouts in cinemas.
