3) what kind of media institution might distribute your
This document discusses potential film distributors for a crime drama film opening set in North London. It analyzes that Warner Bros and Paramount are two of the top distributors of crime drama films based on IMDB data.

Piper, a secret agent, must use her skills to save her kidnapped husband from Sergei while confined to her home. It reverses gender stereotypes with a strong female lead. The film is an independent thriller that the document's authors would want distributed by 20th Century Fox due to their success with similar action films like Taken. Their ideal cast includes Jason Statham as the villain Sergei, Rory Kinnear as the innocent husband John, and Natalie Portman as the heroic Piper. However, given the film's likely low budget, the preferred actual distributor would be Icon Films Distribution, a UK independent known for thriller, horror and mystery genres.

Media as evaluation part 3
Columbia Pictures would be the best media institution to distribute the filmmakers' zombie movie. Columbia has a variety of genres, including many horror films, and also distributes comedies with dark humor, making it a good fit. Although 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures also distribute similar films, 20th Century Fox focuses more on family-friendly genres, while Paramount mainly handles much higher budget blockbusters than the filmmakers' $15 million budget zombie movie.
Evaluation question no 3
Warner Bros would be a suitable media institution to distribute the media product due to its large size and wide variety of film genres released each year, ranging from animated films, superhero films, and romantic films. Some of Warner Bros's most famous and successful franchises include Batman, Superman, Harry Potter, and animated characters like Bugs Bunny and Scooby Doo. Though most of Warner Bros's films are targeted towards children and young adults, the documentary being proposed would have a different storyline than typical Warner Bros films by having the main character die in the beginning, attracting audiences with its unconventional plot.
Clover case study
J.J. Abrams is the chairman and CEO of Bad Robot Productions, a production company he owns. Bad Robot is responsible for popular television shows like Lost, Alias, and Fringe, as well as films like Star Trek (2009) and Cloverfield (2008). Bad Robot pioneered viral marketing techniques for Cloverfield by creating fake websites and online profiles that provided clues about the film's plot before its release. This set a precedent in the film industry for using immersive viral marketing campaigns to generate buzz for new films.

Universal distributes films across many genres, including action, comedy, horror and thrillers. 20th Century Fox also handles a wide range of genres, such as comedy, romance, thriller and horror. Walt Disney Pictures was deemed unsuitable as they do not often distribute thrillers and aim their films at younger audiences.
Movie Institutions
The document discusses three major movie institutions - 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures, and Lionsgate. 20th Century Fox is known for comedy and family films but not horror. Universal Pictures has had some horror film success more recently but lacks a long history in the genre. Lionsgate is highlighted as primarily producing drama, action and horror/thriller films. They have successfully produced horror films for 10+ years. The document concludes Lionsgate would be the best choice to produce a new horror film due to their experience and audience in the genre.
Institutional research
The document discusses four major film studios - Warner Bros, Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, and 20th Century Fox. It analyzes the types of films each studio is known for producing, particularly thriller films, and determines that Warner Bros and Paramount Pictures have been successful with thriller films in the past so would be good options to produce a new thriller film, while 20th Century Fox would be best for distribution.
Distribution research
Warner Brothers is the best distributor for the filmmaker's horror movie trailer. While other distributors like Lionsgate and Universal focus more on action, comedy, or family films, Warner Brothers has experience distributing many successful horror films like The Exorcist and Friday the 13th. Their focus on paranormal horror subgenres matches the trailer concept. Choosing Warner Brothers over popular distributors of other genres like Lionsgate will help the trailer reach the intended horror audience.
Film institutions
This document discusses several major film studios and their suitability for producing and distributing a horror film trailer. It analyzes Lionsgate, Universal Studios, Walt Disney Pictures, Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, and Paramount Pictures. It determines that Warner Bros and Paramount have the most experience and success with horror films. Warner Bros has produced popular horror films like Friday the 13th. Paramount has created horror franchises like Ghost and Paranormal Activity, which could provide relevant experience for a paranormal-themed trailer.
4) institution research
20th Century Fox is a production and distribution company founded in 1915 that is known for family films like Avatar, Star Wars, and Chronicles of Narnia. While it has produced some popular horror films from the 1960s-1990s, most of its success comes from family films. For a horror film targeting a modern audience, the document recommends Blumhouse Productions, founded in 2000. Blumhouse is known for high quality, micro-budget horror films through partnerships with major studios. Its franchises like Paranormal Activity and Insidious have been very profitable while feeling contemporary.

Horror movie conventions sam tomlinson
The document outlines common conventions in horror movies. It discusses how settings are often isolated with dark atmospheres to build tension. Technical elements like camera work and sound are used to create fear through techniques like POV shots and diegetic noises. Iconography employs dark colors and lighting alongside props and masks that represent the genre. Narratives usually involve stalkers, mysteries or haunted houses. Characters typically fit stereotypes while villains are monsters or unknown killers. Overarching themes explore concepts like good vs. evil, madness, and the supernatural.
Still image analysis
This document analyzes two still images:
1) A close-up of a man's face that suggests he is a villain through visual clues like his unkempt appearance and angry facial expression.
2) A shot from the movie "You've Got Mail" showing a man and woman talking in a library. Their serious demeanor and the woman holding a knife hints at underlying tension, despite visual cues like their neat appearance that point to a romantic genre.
The document examines composition, props, lighting, and character details in both shots to infer possible meanings and narratives.
Weather research
This document discusses creating a spooky effect for a horror genre piece by using gloomy, foggy, dull, dark, and cloudy weather features. Filming on November 24th is planned to take advantage of the early evening sunset which will make the lighting dull and cloudy, working well for the horror genre.
Main location
We filmed at the location of 12 Nags head lane, and within the power point i can explain why this is effective and why we chose to film here
Audience survey
The document summarizes the results of a survey about music video viewing habits. It found that house music was the most popular genre, followed by indie. Most respondents said they watch music videos 4 or more times per week for pleasure and entertainment. They typically watch at home. Therefore, the group decided to make a music video for the indie genre using the songs of James Bay, as his music would appeal to those wanting to relax at home.

High budget vs low budget
- 1. High Budget Vs Low Budget Avatar Vs Paranormal Activity $237 Million Budget $15 000 $2,787,965,087 How much is made$193,355,800
- 2. Analysis Similarities and Differences Paranormal Activity is aimed at a wide variety of ages, for example people that like a tense horror film could be any age above 15 (since Paranormal activity is a 15) Avatar also had a very wide range target audience, quite a family based film, so all ages and it also has features of different genres within the film such as a bit of romance, a bit of action and a bit of animation, to suit all. Differences that occur between the two Movies however is their genre since paranormal activity is a super natural form of film however avatar is a mixture of typical family genres i.e. love, animation science fiction and action. Paramount pictures and 20th Century fox are very well known film production companies since they have both released very famous films over time. 20th century fox have released a number of very successful films including Titanic, X-men and Alvin and the Chipmunks, Titanic was a real life event and so the film was very famous all over the world, this was the main reason I believe for this film being so successful, however the majority of the films that are released by 20th century fox are very well known through the UK and America. Paramount Pictures also have released a great number of successful films such as Transformers, Indianan Jones, The Godfather and Star Trek, all of these are very well known, such as the film Transformers, this film was aimed mainly at teenage boys to men in their thirties, I expect since it was very action based. 20th Century Fox mainly released films based on a family orientated genres such as romance, mild action or comedy however Paramount Pictures releases more action/adventure/thriller based films. I Personally think 20th Century Fox will Continue to be more successful due to the range of films that are released, I personally overall like the films that are released through 20th century fox to the films that are released through paramount pictures
