Major film studios like Universal Studios, 20th Century Fox, and Disney produce big-budget blockbuster films targeting mass audiences around the world in popular genres like action, sci-fi, and adventure. These films often have large production budgets in the hundreds of millions but can gross billions globally. Smaller niche studios in Britain like Warp Films sometimes work with organizations like Film 4 to independently produce lower-budget films in genres like social drama that may struggle to find large audiences but can still be financially successful if their budgets are low enough.

Exam approaches and case studies
The document outlines key areas examined for media studies, including media institutions, audiences, and technology. It provides case studies of films to use as examples: an independent British film called "This is England"; the successful UK studio Working Title and its romantic comedies; and the big-budget US blockbusters "Star Trek" and "Avatar" produced by Paramount and 20th Century Fox respectively. Students are instructed to research additional case studies examining aspects of production, distribution, and exhibition/reception.
Revision Tips
This document provides revision tips and information about institutions and audiences in media studies. It discusses synergy and cross-media convergence in the film industry using Vivendi Universal as an example. Technological convergence is also examined by looking at different devices that can be used to watch films such as smartphones, MP4 players, games consoles, laptops, and home cinema systems. An overview of the film production cycle is given including the stages of production, distribution, exhibition, and marketing. Examples of different types of films and studios in both the UK and US industries are analyzed.
Uk film distribution (1)
The document discusses UK film distribution. It explains that distributors must identify the largest possible audience for films among the 500+ annually released, and generate buzz to get audiences in the first weekend which accounts for 30% of box office earnings. The distribution process involves acquiring rights, screenwriting, filming, post-production, presenting to exhibitors, and delivering prints to cinemas. Distributors must consider competition, whether a film is a blockbuster or niche, and star power when planning release strategies like saturation or limited releases. Distribution costs can range from thousands to £4-5 million depending on elements like prints, advertising, and talent. Small distributors like Vertigo Films and Film 4 specialize in low budget British films.
Lionsgate films
Lionsgate was chosen as the film distributor because it distributes a wide range of genres including crime thrillers similar to their film, it has successfully distributed over 200 films since 1997, and it distributes both British and American films. The film would be marketed through traditional methods like posters, radio ads, TV spots, and trailers as well as online through a YouTube trailer, Facebook page, and Twitter account. It would have a national theatrical release in UK cinemas and possibly in Europe, then be released on DVD, streaming services, and TV channels about a year later.
Task 3
An independent film distribution company like Vertigo Films would be best suited to distribute our low-budget, independent film. As a small production without major studio backing, the big production companies mentioned would not be interested. An independent distributor could promote our UK-focused film to English-speaking audiences and festivals like Sundance, where independent films are often found.
Presentation3 distribution
The document discusses potential media institutions to distribute the low-budget independent British film "Coldstream" based on its target audience of 15-25 year olds and limited budget. It considers Film 4, Vertigo Films, and Lionsgate as options, noting Film 4's Oscar-winning successes, Vertigo's diverse genres and box office hit Street Dance 3D, and Lionsgate's productions of The Hunger Games trilogy and Twilight saga films. Social media is suggested as a cost-effective marketing method for "Coldstream" to reach its target audience.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The document discusses potential film distribution companies for a low-budget British thriller/horror film. It analyzes Film4 Productions, Vertigo Films, Warner Bros., and Hammer Films, concluding that Film4 and Vertigo would be best as they are British companies that have successfully distributed similar low-budget films in the UK market in the past.
Isabella Evaluation Qu. 3
The document discusses potential film production companies to distribute a low-budget British horror film, including Hammer Films, Universal Pictures, Lionsgate Films, Weinstein Films, and Vertigo Films. It recommends Hammer Films or Vertigo Films due to their independent and British nature, but also considers Weinstein Films for its ability as a mini-major to more widely advertise the film. Of all the options, Hammer Films is seen as the most ideal due to being a small British company, but it also has partnerships that could allow for a larger budget and experience producing successful horror films like The Woman in Black.

Presentation1
Film distributors in the UK spend £300 million annually bringing new releases to audiences. They identify films' target audiences and develop release strategies to maximize box office returns. A film's performance in its first 3 days generates 30% of total sales. Distributors consider a film's marketability, playability, director and stars when planning saturation or specialized releases across 1000+ screens or select theaters, respectively, to best reach interested audiences.
EVALUATION.
The UK Film Council would be a suitable institution to distribute my media product. As a public body funded by the National Lottery, the UK Film Council supports both established and up-and-coming British film directors and backs hundreds of films. It aims to make the UK a global center for film and plays a key role in the country's cultural and economic success. The UK Film Council has partnerships with other film organizations and is focused on developing new talents, though it is selective in the films it chooses to back. Distributing through the UK Film Council would provide access to funding without budget constraints and help attract UK audiences to increase the niche audience for my thriller/social realism genre film.
Independent cinema research media molly
The document discusses the process of independent filmmaking, including developing a story, pitching ideas, creating storyboards and scripts, filming, editing, and distribution. It contrasts independent films, which are lower budget and not funded by major studios, with mainstream films from large studios that have bigger marketing budgets. It also lists some UK independent film producers and festivals that can help get independent films exposure.
British Film Distribution
The document discusses various film distribution methods in the UK, including cinema, which allows small budget films to find large audiences, as well as distributors like Icon, Sony, Film 4, and Fox Searchlight. It concludes that cinema is the best distribution method, followed by a DVD release later, as this approach has been shown to generate revenue and benefit distributors.
Task 3
Distribution involves delivering a completed media product to audiences through various channels like DVD, television, streaming, and merchandise. Some major film distributors are 21st Century Fox, DreamWorks, Paramount Pictures, Sony, and Disney/Pixar, which could deliver a film based on its genre and similarity to the distributor's past successful titles. The document considers whether the sample film would appeal only to UK audiences or have wider global appeal, as well as potential marketing strategies and release options.
Distribution and exhibition
The document discusses film distribution procedures. It notes that the success of a cinema release determines subsequent DVD and TV releases. Film distribution rights are sold separately for different territories like the UK. Most major Hollywood films in the UK are distributed directly by the financing studio. The top 5 distributors in the UK account for around 90% of box office rentals. A Hollywood blockbuster is typically given a wide release of 400-500 prints costing around £1000 each, representing a significant investment. Extensive promotion is conducted for the opening weekend to create buzz around the film.
3
StudioCanal UK would be the media institution that would distribute the horror movie, as they have previously distributed a similar film called "Attack the Block" set in a London estate. StudioCanal UK would likely be interested in distributing the film and have sufficient financial backing. They would also be a suitable institution for reaching a British audience.
Distribute
Revolver Entertainment would be a suitable distributor for the film because it specializes in distributing socially realistic films similar to those mentioned, like Kidulthood. Revolver has distributed films dealing with urban living and emotional abuse that have found popularity. As a British film distribution company established in 1997, Revolver would sign an agreement with the producer specifying distribution rights and provisions for revenue sharing and local editing if needed.
Evaluation question 3
Film 4 would be the most likely media institution to distribute the media product because it supports independent UK filmmakers and has distributed many successful small-scale British films. As a company that funds productions targeting local audiences, Film 4 provides opportunities for independent films to reach audiences and gain recognition in the industry. Other options for independent film distribution include smaller companies like Microwave that provide funding to promote young UK filmmakers, as well as national lottery grants awarded by the BFI to encourage British film production and distribution.
Presentation10
This document discusses potential media institutions for distributing the author's media product and why. It suggests that major film distributors like 20th Century Fox would likely not accept it due to its lower budget. Independent distribution through new media outlets online is the cheapest option but may not reach a large enough audience. Preferably, the author would want a company like Film 4 to distribute it as they specialize in successful independent films. Alternatively, Entertainment Film Distributors, which has distributed mainstream horror films independently and successfully, would be an ideal choice given the author's film genre.
Uk film industry as media
The British film industry has experienced several booms and recessions since the 1930s. In the 1990s, costume dramas and comedies like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Brassed Off found success. National Lottery funding and the British Film Council provided support. Key choices for the industry included low-budget films for mainstream British and art house audiences, as well as international co-productions. A successful film industry is important for Britain's economy, bringing in much of its revenue from outside the UK. Government support and production companies have aided development, though partnerships with US distributors are often needed to achieve large profits.
The DCMS Jan 2012 Film Policy Review
The document summarizes the key points from the 2012 UK Film Policy Review conducted by Lord Smith. The review recommended that 1) producers should recoup funding from financially successful films to reinvest in future productions, 2) broadcasters like Sky and ITV should increase investment in British films, and 3) film education should be brought into every British school to develop new audiences. Some concerns about the review included that it may sideline independent films and focus funding only on commercial successes, which are difficult to predict. The overall goal appeared to continue supporting a wide range of British films and improve audiences for local films.
Distribution
Distribution is the process by which a film is made available to audiences through a film distributor who decides on the marketing and release medium such as DVD, cinema, or television, as well as the release date. The document discusses potential UK distributors for a low-budget British horror film, such as Left Film Distribution and Arrow Films, which specialize in independent and horror cinema. Word of mouth on social media and film festivals are suggested as low-cost marketing strategies. Self-distribution through organizations like Quad Cinema is also presented as an option.
Distribution research
A film distributor is responsible for marketing and exhibiting a film by setting its release date and making it available for viewing in theaters and home video formats. Distributors either directly own theaters and distribution networks or work with exhibitors and sub-distributors to release films. They acquire rights to films and cover all costs of printing, advertising, and negotiating percentage deals with cinema owners based on the film's size. Distributors find new films at festivals and markets, require proper contracts, and distribute films through both major studio networks and independent channels without formal connections between producers and exhibitors.
Independent cinema research
The document discusses the film production and distribution processes. It explains that a film can be produced independently or by a major studio. The production process includes development, packaging, pre-production, principal photography, and post-production.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media products and why?
The document discusses film distribution and which media institutions might distribute a horror media production. It analyzes the distributors of films like Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, and Insidious - mainly American companies like Paramount Pictures and Orion Pictures. It also looks at British distributors like Artificial Eye, Entertainment, and Lionsgate UK, concluding that Lionsgate UK would be the best choice as it specializes in horror films. Distributing the media production first in movie theaters would generate publicity and interest before releasing it on DVD, online, and television.
What defines a British film?
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is responsible for setting policy to support the British film industry through funding, tax incentives, and the Cultural Test, which determines if a film qualifies as British; the DCMS works with organizations like the British Film Institute (BFI) and provides lottery funding and financial support for production. The DCMS also negotiates co-production agreements and issues film certificates to allow companies to claim tax relief.
The Toronto Film And Television Cluster Presentation
The Toronto Film and Television Cluster contributes $1.1 billion annually to the local economy through its highly developed infrastructure and state-of-the-art facilities. Toronto was rated one of the top 10 North American cities for independent productions. Current news includes concerns that proposed federal legislation could curb production in Toronto by allowing the government to cancel tax credits for films deemed offensive. Toronto is also working to become a leader in green film production practices. The Montreal Film and Television Cluster hosts many major players in fields like special effects and gaming.
Film institutions
This document summarizes research on three major film studios - 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros, and Universal Pictures - as potential partners for producing and distributing a horror film. 20th Century Fox primarily focuses on comedy, fantasy and family films, and prefers to distribute rather than produce horror. Warner Bros has produced and distributed many well-known horror films. Universal Pictures has less experience with the horror genre and its horror films were not as successful as Warner Bros'. Therefore, Warner Bros is concluded to be the best partner out of the three studied.

Louis i kahn
Louis Kahn was an influential American architect born in 1901. Some of his most notable works include the Salk Institute, the Yale Center for British Art, and the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad. Kahn's style was defined by simple platonic forms and the use of materials like brick and concrete to create monumental yet sympathetic designs. He was inspired by both beaux arts training and a personal desire to develop unique architectural forms. His buildings are considered monumental beyond modernism and make unique use of geometry, light, and spatial relationships. Kahn had a profound influence on architecture in India and the development of architectural education.

1. The exam questions may focus on various areas related to the film industry such as media ownership, synergy and cross-media convergence, new media technologies, how major industries target audiences, and personal media consumption.
2. Large media conglomerates own film studios, TV stations, record labels, magazines, newspapers, books, and internet platforms, allowing them to synergistically market and distribute their films across multiple subsidiaries. However, some independent films are produced outside the major studios with smaller budgets.
3. Technological convergence through devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops, and game consoles, as well as services like video on demand, have changed how audiences consume media and given independents new distribution opportunities
Working title
Working Title is a British film production company founded in 1983 by Tim Bevan and Sarah Radclyffe. It produces comedies starring actors like Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Grant. Working Title has survived in the American film industry due to its parent companies NBC Universal and Universal Studios, which provide funding, and its internet service provider owner Comcast, which allows for promotion. An example of one of its successful films is 2011's Johnny English Reborn, which had a $45 million budget and grossed $160 million worldwide.
Evaluation question 3
Summit Entertainment is a film production, distribution and sales company founded in 1991. They initially handled foreign film sales but later expanded into fully financing and producing their own films by the late 1990s. Summit distributes their films both theatrically and on home video formats internationally through partnerships with other major studios like Universal and Sony. As an independent studio with access to over $1 billion in financing, Summit would be capable of distributing films internationally but likely requires partnerships for domestic theatrical distribution in large markets like North America.
Evaluation question 3: Renewed
Optimum Releasing would be a suitable distributor for the independent British thriller film. As an independent UK film company, Optimum specializes in distributing similar low-budget, British independent films and thrillers. They have had success distributing films with small budgets that appeal to younger audiences. Their marketing strategies, like using social media, would be a cost-effective way to promote the film to its target teen-adult demographic. Optimum also has experience distributing similar thriller genres to the one in the film, so they understand how to market and release that type of film.
Evaluation – question 2
This document discusses different types of media institutions that could distribute a media product and why. It analyzes large institutions like Warner Bros, Disney, and Universal Studios that have huge budgets and widespread marketing and distribution capabilities. It also discusses smaller independent companies like Working Title Films and Bedlam Productions that have more limited budgets. The document concludes that for a large-scale thriller film, Universal Studios would be the best choice due to its large budget, successful history distributing thrillers like Psycho, and potential for huge profits.
Introduction to film finance
The cost of films varies greatly depending on factors like production requirements, rights, success of the production company, crew size, length of production, and distribution costs. Very low budget films like 'The Blair Witch Project' were made for only $60,000 by using unknown actors, minimal crews who also filmed, and natural lighting. Government grants and tax schemes are available to encourage film production and bring jobs and culture to a country, but securing major investment usually relies on pre-sales of distribution rights to studios.
Working title
Working Title is a British film production company that has been very successful in producing popular and profitable films since its founding in 1983. It was originally owned by Polygram but is now a subsidiary of Universal Studios. Working Title is known for producing major box office hits like Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Love Actually, and Shaun of the Dead with very small staff and limited budgets. Their association with Universal Studios provides benefits like larger budgets and global distribution for their films.

G322 film industry revision1
The document discusses media institutions and audiences in the context of the film industry. It provides information on several key areas:
1) Media conglomerates that own film studios, TV stations, and other media properties and can leverage synergy across platforms.
2) Independent films that typically have smaller budgets than major studio films but sometimes find success with distribution through larger studios.
3) Technological convergence, where media companies distribute content across multiple owned platforms like films released with soundtracks, online, and in owned theaters.
4) New technologies that have changed film production and consumption, such as digital filmmaking and viewing films on various devices.
L3A&1
Working Title Films was founded in 1984 as an independent film company but was later acquired by larger media conglomerates seeking synergies. It was first bought by PolyGram in 1992, then by Universal and GE in 2004. As part of these conglomerates, Working Title gained access to larger budgets and global distribution but lost some independence and control over content. Their films have been criticized for portraying an idealized version of Britishness that lacks diversity in an effort to appeal to international audiences.

Evaluation Question 6
Microsoft Office was useful for creating director notes like a diary to present information in an interactive visual way and store it electronically. IMDB and YouTube provided useful information about movies and access to trailers and comments. Blogger allowed information and notes about the filmmaking process to be stored, posted, viewed, and updated online. A digital camcorder captured high quality footage and allowed playback and storage on the device. Adobe After Effects created special effects like explosions while Adobe Premier Pro edited video/audio and added effects based on timelines.
Location Scouting
The document discusses three potential film locations: 1) MI6 headquarters in London which would be the site of a massive explosion to kick off the plot. 2) The London Eye Ferris wheel, a iconic landmark that represents London for dialogue scenes. 3) The author's home, a simply brick wall setting that would focus audience attention on character dialogue at the start of the film.
Media Studies Questionnaire

skyfall - Opening Credits
The document describes the order of credits in the opening titles of the James Bond film Skyfall. It explains that the credits are ordered to convey status within the film's production. Producer Albert R. Broccoli's name appears first to signify his importance. Daniel Craig's name comes next to highlight his central role as James Bond. Later credits include more recognizable names like Javier Bardem and Judi Dench. Lower-level positions like makeup artists are credited towards the end, followed by names of higher status like the director of photography and music. The director, Sam Mendes, appears last despite his high status, likely because he was less known in Hollywood than the film's stars.
Skyfall - Opening Credits
The document describes the order of credits in the opening titles of the film Skyfall. It explains that the producer Albert R. Broccoli is listed first to signify their importance. Daniel Craig's name is second to highlight his central role as James Bond. The Bond novelist is also high in the credits to honor the source material. Lower names like makeup artists are listed towards the end, while higher positions like cinematographer and composer are near the middle. Although Daniel Craig is first among the actors to showcase his starring role, the British director Sam Mendes is listed last despite his importance, since he was less known in Hollywood prior to Skyfall.
