Film piracy involves illegally copying and distributing movies through various means. It has become popular in Britain as a cheap or free way for people to watch films without buying them legally or going to the cinema. However, film piracy has negative effects on the film industry. It causes studios to lose potential earnings, forces them to increase prices, and can lead to job losses and fewer films being made as budgets decrease over time. While it allows some free access to films, film piracy also provides lower quality versions and takes profits away from filmmakers.

This document discusses piracy in the film industry, noting both the negatives and positives for the industry and consumers. On the negatives side for the industry, piracy costs the film industry billions each year in lost revenue, which can lead to fewer large budget films and slower production. For consumers, pirated copies may be of poor quality and come with no refund policies. However, some benefits are also outlined, such as piracy potentially increasing awareness of films and consumers paying less for copies than cinema tickets. Streaming services are highlighted as an industry effort to curb piracy by offering affordable legal alternatives.
film piracy
Film piracy began in 1998 with cam recordings uploaded online before official releases. The earliest and most common types of pirated films are cam, telesync, and screener recordings. Film piracy costs the global film industry an estimated £1.5 billion annually in lost revenue and has contributed to the loss of over 30,000 jobs in the British film industry. While piracy provides free access to films, it often results in lower video and audio quality compared to official releases.
Anti film piracy
This document discusses the issue of film piracy in India. It begins by providing background on the history and popularity of cinema in India. It then defines film piracy as the illegal copying and distribution of movies. Several factors are cited as responsible for the rise of video piracy, including screenings of pirated films in various venues and the growth of cable television. The document outlines different types of pirated copies and describes a large piracy ring that was busted in New York in 1996. It then discusses an invention by Indian engineering students to use infrared sensors to detect piracy in theaters by blurring recorded images. The device works by emitting a frequency that creates an optical watermark on the movie screen visible only through cameras

The document contrasts mainstream and independent films. Mainstream films have larger budgets, are released widely in theaters, and marketed heavily. They appeal to broad audiences. The Incredibles is given as an example of a mainstream blockbuster. Independent films have lower budgets, limited releases, and appeal to specific audiences through word of mouth. Bullet Boy is used to illustrate an independent film shot on location in London on a low budget targeting 15-40 year old males.
Hollywood research
Hollywood is the world's oldest and largest film industry, located in Los Angeles. Some of the most famous and highest rated movies from Hollywood include Avatar, Parasite, 1917, Joker, Toy Story 4, and Avengers: Endgame. The origins of movies began in the late 1800s with early motion devices, and the first movie was created in 1872 by Eadweard Muybridge using multiple cameras. Hollywood is famous for its professionalism, variety of subjects, high-quality graphics, talented screenwriters, large budgets, worldwide audiences, and movies that are generally worth watching.
The long tail pp
The document discusses how the Long Tail theory, originally proposed by Chris Anderson in 2006, can be applied to the film industry. The theory describes how the internet has allowed niche products with smaller audiences to be profitable by reaching enough total customers. In the film industry, large retailers like Blockbuster that can only stock popular titles represent the "head," while online retailers like Amazon and Netflix that have unlimited shelf space represent the "long tail." This allows more niche films to be available and profitable compared to physical retailers with space constraints. The internet has shifted sales away from brick-and-mortar stores to online platforms.
Distribution of film
The primary distribution of films is through cinemas, where movies are shown for about 2 months before being released on DVD and streaming services. Cinemas remain popular because they provide the best quality viewing experience and make for a good day out. Secondary distribution includes illegal downloads, DVDs, and streaming. Illegal downloads and streaming are popular due to their low cost and convenience, though quality can vary. Piracy also allows films to be distributed illegally online, which hurts filmmakers' profits but allows free viewing for users.
Evaluation question 3
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a horror/thriller film. Mainstream cinemas like Odeon, Ambassador, and Vue are unlikely options as they primarily show popular fantasy/sci-fi films. The Commodore cinema may be more receptive given its isolated location and fewer options. The Electric cinema has limited offerings and could potentially show the film. Film festivals like BFI and Sundance that have histories of selecting horror/thriller genres would provide good exposure and distribution opportunities for an independent film.

Institutions correct
The document compares the institutions behind the low-budget film Insidious and the high-budget film Dark Shadows. It finds that Warner Brothers, which produced Dark Shadows, is a major studio with a large budget of $150 million, while the smaller Film District produced Insidious for only $1.5 million. However, Insidious went on to make $97 million at the box office, showing that a smaller company can still find success with a low-budget film. While Warner Brothers is a globally renowned producer of blockbusters like Harry Potter, Film District's breakout hit with Insidious helped establish it as a notable new player in the film industry as well.
Distributors
This document discusses distribution options for a student short film called "Enough Is Enough". It first defines film distribution as how a film is distributed to audiences after post-production. It then explains that the film will likely not be distributed by a major distributor since it has a very low budget and used few resources. Some marketing options for self-distribution are discussed, such as uploading to YouTube, showing in local theaters, and promoting on social media. Self-distributing the film would be very expensive and require funding for copying and delivering DVDs to theaters and audiences. Legal permits would also be needed to properly distribute and sell copies of the film.

1) Technology in film and TV has changed significantly, particularly with the rise of 3D cinema after Avatar, online streaming services like Netflix, and improvements in camera quality.
2) 3D cinema provides audiences a more immersive viewing experience but can cause eye strain, while producers aim to increase profits from 3D showings. However, 3D may just be a passing fad.
3) Online streaming through services like Netflix has greatly increased accessibility of films and popularity of streaming, benefiting both audiences and producers. However, it relies on internet access.
4) Camera technology has significantly reduced in size while improving image quality up to 8K resolution, providing audiences highly immersive viewing and benef
Distribution among independent films
Independent films typically do not have large budgets for theatrical releases. However, some independent films are picked up by larger distribution companies and shown in theaters. For most films with budgets under $3 million, DVD distribution was once common but online viewing platforms like Netflix, iTunes, and BitTorrent are now more typical release methods.
Some independent films are able to get distribution deals by attracting audiences with popular source material or genres. Films like Room and Carol were based on famous novels while Suffragette covered a popular British history topic.
The best online distribution platforms depend on a film's budget and goals. Netflix reaches the largest audience globally but isn't ideal for prestige films seeking awards. BitTorrent and Vimeo
Question 3
This document discusses choosing the appropriate media institutions to distribute a film based on its genre. It explains that audiences associate certain institutions with specific genres and will have expectations based on the institution distributing the film. The document then discusses choosing small, independent production (C&I Productions) and distribution (Revolver Entertainment) companies for a youth drama film, as these types of films are typically produced and distributed by smaller companies rather than major studios. Choosing these companies would be consistent with other similar films and help audiences recognize the film's genre.
Media genre change
Genres change over time due to several factors:
Target audiences for films have become younger leading to more teenage characters and relatable stories. Audiences are also more familiar with genre conventions which raises expectations.
Censorship standards have relaxed significantly since the 1960s, allowing for more graphic content.
Individual influential texts, stars, and directors can redefine genres or spark renewed popularity. For example, Hitchcock's suspense films still influence modern thrillers.
Advances in technology like stabilized cameras, digital editing, and special effects have impacted genres by allowing new types of shots and more realistic graphic content.
Impact of new technology
The document discusses the impact of new technology on film institutions. It examines factors such as quality, cost-cutting, piracy, exhibition, marketing, access for audiences, the viewing environment, audiences as producers, and marketing to audiences. For each factor, it lists pros and cons. Overall, the document analyzes how technology has affected the film industry, both positively through opportunities for higher revenues, wider distribution, and lower costs, and negatively through threats like piracy and increased competition from streaming services.
Amina
The document outlines plans for a low-budget horror film called "The Second Me". It will target teenagers aged 13-19 and use drama students as actors. Promotion will be done through social media, posters, leaflets, and uploading the film to YouTube. Advertising will be in local newspapers and online through posters, leaflets, and social media. Funding may come from crowd-funding while equipment and music will be provided by media students and independent musicians, respectively. The film will be shown on YouTube and submitted to film festivals.
EVALUATION QUESTION 3
This document discusses potential media platforms to show a film, including major cinemas like Odeon, indie cinemas like Godalming Cinema, film festivals like the Surrey Film Festival, and TV film channels like Film4. Major cinemas mainly show large budget, mainstream films and would not be suitable. Indie cinemas and local festivals could work but have limitations in audience size. TV channels like Film4 that show a variety of films could provide a broader viewership.
Media q3 eval
The film was exhibited online through paid memberships or pay-per-view platforms to target teenagers and young adults who spend much of their time online rather than going to cinemas. It had a low budget and received tax relief and funding from the BFI as a British film. It was released in October near Halloween to match its autumnal forest and thriller themes. Marketing was done primarily online through social media promotion and an official website linking to streaming platforms. The film was self-distributed without a fake production company, similarly to small independent British companies like Bedlam Productions known for low-budget thrillers.
Clerks Presentation
This document compares the independent film Clerks to the mainstream superhero film Deadpool. Clerks had an extremely low budget of $27,575 that was entirely self-funded by director Kevin Smith, while Deadpool had a $58 million budget from 20th Century Fox. As a result, Deadpool had much higher production values with elaborate sets, visual effects, and a star-studded cast including Ryan Reynolds. Both films used different marketing strategies due to their disparate budgets. While Clerks targeted independent film fans, Deadpool aimed for broader superhero and comedy audiences.

This document summarizes the target audience, social representations, potential distributors, and conventions used for a student's media project film. The target audience is identified as teenage to young adult males interested in parkour and action films. The film represents middle-class white males and portrays teenagers as athletic. Distribution on websites and through UK film institutions like the UK Film Council is discussed. Inspiration is drawn from parkour videos like Storm FreeRun and Rory Campbell - The Edge in terms of locations, choreography and concepts like chase scenes.
Evaluation question 3
An independent company would likely distribute the film "Patient Zero" because it has a limited budget and unknown actors. The film would be filmed in accessible local locations like woods near home to cut costs, rather than extravagant overseas settings. It would start in a few cinemas and increase screens over time as it becomes known, then move to television and online. Distribution would initially be just in Britain to experiment with audiences there, and potentially expand to the US later if successful. Advertising would be on low-cost websites and a short television spot, rather than extensive formats used by big Hollywood films due to the smaller budget. River Road Entertainment would be a suitable production company since they make low-budget films in similar genres.
Evaluation Question 3
This document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a romantic comedy film called "Unrequited Love". It identifies several options: LoveLife Productions (the film's own production house), Working Title Films (a major UK production company), Universal Studios (Working Title's parent company that could provide international distribution), Universal Music Group (for the soundtrack), iTunes (to sell the soundtrack), Netflix/LoveFilm (for online streaming), YouTube (for trailers and clips), Vevo (to promote the soundtrack on YouTube), and Sky Movies (for television premiere). These institutions would help finance production, market the film, and expand its audience through cinema showings, home media, streaming, and television broadcast.

The document discusses trends in media consumption among young people and how they relate to Working Title Films. It notes that young people have short attention spans unless something grabs them instantly, and they prefer instant gratification over slow narratives. They also tend to watch media alone on personal devices and are used to amateur visual styles from YouTube. As a result, young people may find films too long and passive compared to other media. The document asks the reader to reflect on which Working Title films they have seen and how, and whether those films seem intended for their demographic.
Media evaluation q3
The document discusses potential media distributors for a new film project called Magnum. It analyzes DCN, the fictional production company, and determines the target audience is likely teenage males due to the crime/action genre content. Momentum Pictures is identified as the most appropriate distributor because it focuses on independent films from a variety of genres and distributes over 20 films per year. While a major distributor like Columbia could be difficult to secure due to the independent nature and smaller scale of Magnum, Momentum is more geared towards and likely to approve such films.

The document discusses how video technology and costs have changed, making video a more accessible medium for learning and training. It notes that video uploading and viewing have increased dramatically in recent years. Additionally, equipment and production costs have dropped significantly, removing major barriers to creating video. These changes mean that video is no longer just for polished, technical productions, but can be used more casually and engaged to grab attention in short clips. It encourages attendees to experiment more with creating video.Question 3
The document discusses two potential film distributors - Warp Films and Paramount Pictures. Warp Films is an independent UK-based company that would allow for a lower budget but more localized audience. Paramount Pictures is a major Hollywood studio that would provide a larger budget but also greater expectations and less focus on the local audience. Both companies have experience distributing similar genre films to the one being discussed.
Film Piracy Powerpoint
Film piracy involves illegally copying and distributing movies through various means. It has become popular in Britain as a cheap or free way to watch films. While it provides advantages to consumers, film piracy has negatively impacted the film industry over the past 5-10 years by reducing profits, potentially leading to higher prices, lower quality films, and job losses in the long term as funding for projects decreases. Examples of short term effects include lost potential earnings from blockbuster films and fewer people watching in cinemas.

Film piracy
Film piracy involves illegally copying and distributing movies through various means. It is a popular way for people to access movies cheaper or for free, but it costs the film industry an estimated £500 million per year in lost revenue. While piracy provides free access to movies, it has significant negative consequences for the film industry through reduced profits. This can damage filmmakers' ability to fund future projects and put jobs in the film industry at risk long-term. Some evidence also suggests links between film piracy and organized crime or terrorist groups that use it to generate illegal profits.
Supply and demand
The document discusses the relationship between the film industry and audiences, noting that while the industry aims to pressure audiences into buying products, audiences also wield influence over the industry. It traces the rise and popularity of cinema from the early 1900s through the mid-20th century, then discusses factors that have led to a decline in cinema attendance in recent decades, such as the availability of films through other mediums like online streaming and DVDs.
Film production presentation - re uploaded
There are two main types of film production: independent and studio. Independent films typically have much smaller budgets ranging from £18,000-£50,000 and rely on organizations, charities or crowdfunding for financing. They have less restrictions but also less money for equipment, marketing and distribution. Studio films have much larger budgets from tens of millions and are financed by major film studios. They have more resources but the director has less creative control.
