2012, produced by Columbia Pictures with a budget of $200 million, made $769 million at the box office due to its intriguing premise of the world ending in 2012. In contrast, Open Water, produced by Lionsgate Films, Plunge Pictures and Eastgate Pictures on a mere $130,000 budget, made $54 million at the box office through its reenactment of a true story about two scuba divers who died, appealing to public interest in shark films. While Columbia Pictures typically only produces high budget films, Open Water demonstrated that a low budget film from smaller production companies can still achieve financial success with the right story.

Low and high film budgets
Columbia Pictures and Centropolis Entertainment are very well known production companies, with Columbia Pictures being more globally recognized. Working Title and StudioCanal are less well known but have produced some successful films. Shaun of the Dead had a much smaller budget of $6 million compared to 2012's unlimited budget, but was rated better despite making less at the box office due to 2012's larger marketing by Columbia Pictures. Both films were financially successful and appeared on cable television after their theatrical runs.
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.

Q3 media
The document discusses distribution options for an independent thriller film called "Press Play Productions". It describes creating an independent production company while distributing the film through a major company like Paramount Pictures. Independent films are often screened at film festivals before wider distribution in theaters or home release. The production company would first give the film a limited theatrical release, then distribute it on DVD, Blu-ray, or video-on-demand some time later to increase recognition. As an independent film, it could also be distributed digitally on websites popular with teenagers, like Netflix or Vimeo.
Question 3
The document evaluates potential distributors for a psychological horror movie. It suggests that Lionsgate would be the best distributor since they have successfully distributed similar low-budget horror movies like Saw and Bug. Lionsgate specializes in horror films and has a large market share and revenue. Self-distribution is not recommended due to the challenges of securing theater showings and large-scale advertising.
Possible Short Film Distributors
This is a presentation that includes the possible film distributors about our short, independent film.
Possible short film distributors
Our short film has a low budget and limited appeal, so it requires an independent distributor rather than a mainstream one. Tigris Entertainment is an independent film company based in both London and Hollywood that has successfully distributed similar low-budget and niche films before, generating sales of 55,000 copies total. As a company that works with low-budget short films and has an international reach, Tigris Entertainment would be a viable option to distribute our film to a wider audience across the UK and US markets.

Evaluation distributors
Working Title Films would be a good media institution to distribute the film. They have distributed many successful action films and have high ratings and box office takings. This could increase the chances of the film being hugely successful since Working Title has a track record of successful releases. They are also associated with Film4, so the film could be broadcast on TV to a broader audience. Distribution through Working Title would allow the film to be shown in cinemas and later released on DVD to an even wider audience if it performed well in cinemas. However, an initial distribution through YouTube and social media would allow the film to be seen globally for free and help generate recognition.
Evaluation question3
A film distributor helps fund and distribute films by getting them into theaters and on DVD. There are major distributors like Universal and Warner Brothers that appeal to mainstream audiences, and independent distributors like Blue Sky Studios and Rogue Pictures. The filmmakers chose Universal as their distributor because they focus on family films and comedies like their own. Major distributors can get films into large multiplex cinemas to reach a wide audience, which is important since their film targets mainstream viewers.

The document discusses the influences of nature (genes) and nurture (environment) on human behavior. It explores topics like evolutionary psychology, behavior genetics, twin studies, and the role of parents, peers, culture and gender in development.

Courtship and entertainment differed between classes according to strict social rules that separated the classes.
Lecture 06.culture and types
Culture is an important concept in sociology and is defined in various ways by different sociologists. Culture includes knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals, customs, and other capabilities acquired by humans as members of society. It is learned and transmitted between generations. Culture has both material and non-material aspects. It is shared within a group and influences human behavior. Culture is also changing over time as it adapts to different environments.
Social groups
Social groups consist of people who share a common identity and goals. Social organizations are highly structured groups that perform complex tasks to achieve goals efficiently. There are different types of social groups including primary groups based on intimate relationships and secondary groups based on more impersonal ties. Formal organizations use rules, hierarchies, and procedures while informal groups provide relaxation and social well-being. Bureaucracies are large, formal organizations with division of labor, hierarchies of authority, written rules, impersonal relationships, and employment based on technical qualifications.
Cultural Diversity
Cultural values form the core of cultures and can include factors like time orientation, family obligations, communication patterns, interpersonal relationships, gender, education, socioeconomic status, and religious beliefs. Cultural diversity is important for businesses and communities to not only survive but thrive, as all community members need to feel respected and utilized. A culturally diverse workplace can provide benefits like improved customer service, access to new markets, and innovative ideas from a range of viewpoints, while a lack of diversity can lead to tensions, low morale, and poorer service quality.
What is culture?
The document discusses the concept of culture and how it has been defined and categorized. It states that culture distinguishes humans from other animals, and consists of patterns of behavior and thinking that are learned, created, shared and adaptive. Culture includes material, social and ideological aspects as well as the arts. It notes that while high culture was traditionally associated with the elite, popular or mass culture is now widely accessible with the influence of television and other media. Globalization has increased cultural exchange and the spread of globalized pop culture, which some argue can threaten local cultures through dilution or loss of original aspects.
Types Of Social Groups Powerpoint
A social group is formed when two or more people are aware of each other's presence. There are different types of social groups including transitory groups, recurrent groups, formal groups, and informal groups. Groups can also be primary groups, which involve strong emotional attachment between members, or secondary groups, which focus more on the purpose of the group than interpersonal relationships.
Influence of media on society ppt
The document discusses the influence of media on society. It outlines both positive and negative effects. Positively, media educates people and spreads information quickly. However, it can also encourage unhealthy behaviors in children through advertising and depictions. The document suggests reducing screen time, censoring violent content, building strong family relationships, and praising positive behaviors to counter the negative influences of media on children.
AQA GCSE Sociology - Socialization
Socialization is the lifelong process by which individuals learn the norms, values, behaviors, and social skills needed to function in society. It involves both primary socialization by families and secondary socialization by other institutions like schools and peer groups. Gender socialization begins in early childhood and involves learning different norms for masculine and feminine behavior through canalization. Social control regulates behavior and conformity through both informal socialization processes like praise and sanctions as well as formal systems like criminal laws and courts.
Unit 3 Sociology: Beliefs in society
Religion plays complex and varied roles in society according to different sociological perspectives. Functionalists view religion as primarily serving conservative functions by promoting social solidarity and stability. However, Marxists see religion as an ideological tool used by the ruling class to legitimate inequality. Feminists argue that most religions reflect and reinforce patriarchal values and the subordination of women. Some sociologists such as Weber view religion as capable of driving social change, while others see it more as a conservative force seeking to maintain traditional beliefs and social structures. Debates also exist around secularization and the declining importance of religion in modern societies.

It explains that distribution is key to a film's success and involves negotiating deals with agencies to show the film in cinemas and on home video. A success story describes how Lionsgate's distribution of The Hunger Games propelled it to major studio status. A failure story outlines how a last-minute change to a one-day cinema release for Iron Sky hurt its earnings potential.
Evaluation Activity 3
Universal Pictures would be a good media institution to distribute our gangster thriller film "God of the Hill" for several reasons:
1) Universal has a history of producing and releasing gangster films of similar genres.
2) They provided financial support and assistance in producing our film.
3) Their global reach and reputation would help market our film worldwide.
Institution
Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures produced the high budget blockbuster Tangled with a budget of $260 million. The film went on to make $591.8 million at the box office. In contrast, the low budget film Paper Towns was produced by Temple Hill Productions and TSG Entertainment on a budget of just $12 million, and made $85.5 million at the box office. Walt Disney is a much larger and more established production company than Temple Hill or TSG Entertainment, having produced many iconic animated films over many decades that appeal to both children and families.
Evaluation Question 3
Entertainment Film Distributors would be the most suitable company to distribute the author's movie. As a UK-based independent film distributor specializing in horror genres, they have successfully distributed many low-budget British and international horror films. In contrast, companies like Warner Bros. and Lionsgate focus more on larger-budget Hollywood productions. Fox Searchlight and Momentum Pictures were also considered but Entertainment Film Distributors is the clear best choice given their experience and focus on independent horror films.
Evaluation Activity 3
A production company oversees all aspects of filmmaking from pre-production through post-production and is responsible for the budget, script, actors, and ensuring a successful film. Terror Craze Productions is a new production company that chose its name to sound professional and indicate it is a production company. A distributor handles marketing, promotion, release dates, and distribution of a film to theaters and home release. For their small-budget film, Terror Craze Productions would choose a smaller distributor like Lionsgate in the UK to first release in art house cinemas then DVD, Blu-Ray, and on demand, in order to distribute the film cost effectively within their means as a new, small production company.
Institution
- The main audience for movies are those aged 16-24, though box office numbers do not typically include tickets for those under 15.
- Cinemas make most of their money from food and drink sales, not ticket sales, since concessions have high profit margins. Popcorn in particular is very popular and profitable.
- To get a new film into cinemas, distributors work to distribute films to theaters. Smaller films may try to convince cinemas directly to screen their movie.
Celador ao1 task 1
Celador Films is a small, independent British film and television production company founded in 1983 by Paul Smith and Jasper Carrott. It is best known for producing the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and the film "Slumdog Millionaire". Celador owns 18 radio stations in the UK. As an independent company, Celador often co-produces films with larger distributors to help fund projects, such as partnering with Pathé to produce the horror film "The Descent". Due to its small size, Celador relies on freelance crews and past profits to fund new productions.
Evaluation 3
Our production company, Grave Productions, focuses on thriller/horror films. It aims to help independent filmmakers get their work noticed. As an independent British production company, it received funding from the film council to produce its film opening. The opening credits featured individual credits for the British cast and crew in traditional order, with the director's name last. Similar independent films like "Amy" had limited releases in art houses and independent cinemas before expanding. For distribution, the production company chose Sigma Films in Scotland due to its success with the similar genre film "Citadel" and support for small producers through events like Film City Glasgow.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
This document discusses potential film institutions that could distribute Oliver Pilcher's thriller film "White Walls". Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks are ruled out as Paramount rarely produces thrillers and Dreamworks focuses on children's films. Lionsgate could be a possibility due to its similar target audience but may not distribute due to its large budget focus and US location. Film4 Productions is identified as the most likely choice as it is a British company interested in independent films, backs around 20 films per year through various distribution channels, and seeks diverse films.
Institutions High/Low Budget Films
This document discusses different film institutions and compares low and high budget films. It notes that there are major film studios like Universal Pictures, part of the "Big Six", as well as smaller independent studios like arieScope Pictures. Universal Pictures produced the big budget blockbuster Jurassic Park for $63 million, while arieScope Pictures produced the low budget Frozen for an undisclosed smaller amount. Jurassic Park was hugely successful making over $400 million, while Frozen only made $243,000. The differences between low and high budget films are the budgets, production team sizes, and commercial success, while they have similarities in funding sources and production roles.
Film production company Case Study
This document provides information about the film Skyfall, including its production company Eon Productions, director Sam Mendes, writers, budget, box office earnings, promotional activities, soundtrack, and merchandise. It also includes summaries of the production companies Eon Productions and Marv Films, as well as the film Harry Brown.
Celador
Celador is a small British film production company founded in 1989 that is best known for producing the successful TV quiz show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?". Some of Celador's most successful films include Dirty Pretty Things, Slumdog Millionaire, and The Descent. While Celador operates on a project-by-project basis with freelance staff, it has been able to fund productions through profits from prior films and TV shows. Though a smaller producer than major studios like Sony Pictures, Celador has found commercial success with lower-budget films that earn substantial profits.
question 3 evaluation
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute an independent romantic comedy film with a low budget. Universal Studios is identified as the top choice due to its wide promotion of the genre and ability to bring attention to the film. However, the document later acknowledges that a smaller independent distributor like Sony Pictures Classics may have been a better fit given the film's budget. It also notes that self-distribution through online platforms is a viable option in today's media landscape.
Low budget v high budget
Man of Steel had a budget of $225 million and was produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, while The Inbetweeners Movie had a much smaller budget of $5.7 million and was distributed by Entertainment Film Distributors. Warner Bros. Pictures is a major Hollywood studio that produces big-budget blockbusters, while Entertainment Film Distributors focuses on lower budget films in the UK. As a result, Man of Steel made over $660 million at the box office compared to $88 million for The Inbetweeners Movie. Choosing the right production and distribution company is important to secure an appropriate budget and marketing support based on the scale and ambitions of the film.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
This document discusses film distribution and provides examples of major film distribution companies. It analyzes Universal Studios and Metrodome as distribution case studies, concluding that Metrodome would be the best fit for distributing their film due to its focus on smaller, UK-based releases. Marketing strategies discussed include theatrical release, home video, trailers, interviews and promotions to appeal to their target UK audience. Self-distribution is considered but rejected in favor of an experienced distribution company.
Celador
Celador is a British film production company founded in 1989 that is best known for producing the TV game show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?". Some of Celador's most successful films include "Dirty Pretty Things" from 2002 and "Slumdog Millionaire" from 2008, which won several Golden Globes and BAFTAs. As a small production company, Celador funds its films on a project-by-project basis through initial investments, partner companies, and profits from previous successful films and TV shows. Major competitors of Celador include larger studios like Sony Pictures that produce blockbuster films with budgets of over $100 million.
Possible distributors
The document compares three potential film distributors - BFI, Cinema 16, and Left LTD. BFI is an experienced distributor with connections to cinemas and festivals but the film may get lost among their large catalog. Cinema 16 focuses on short film DVD releases and has worked with major directors, but only offers DVD distribution. Left LTD distributes across cinema, DVD, and online formats and helps with marketing, but their films are mostly comedies unlike the psychological thriller being considered.

Momentum pictures for "Gone"
This document discusses potential film distribution companies for the movie "Gone" and recommends Momentum Pictures. It outlines Lionsgate as a major studio known for action films, Momentum as a leading UK independent distributor releasing around 20 films per year of various genres including horror, and Universal as one of the largest studios with a global reach but diverse films. It chooses Momentum because they are UK-based, specialize in horror, and would be a good fit as an independent studio for a first-time film.
Gone
The document discusses plans for a horror film. It will focus on the missing of a young boy in a park known as the place he disappeared. The opening scene will feature the boy walking in the foggy park. Most scary scenes will take place in this park. The film aims to include horror conventions like darkness and eerie music. It will target an audience aged 15-45 and receive a 15 certificate. The opening will introduce the main characters and setting while leaving an air of mystery. Influence will come from titles of popular horror films like The Conjuring and Sinister. Production companies will include Clear View Studios and distribution is by Clear View Studios.
Marketing campaign
The marketing campaign for the film "Gone" will include a mysterious television advert using a sinister clip to convey the horror genre without revealing too much of the plot. Posters will be displayed on public transport like buses to target their audience and in shopping centers and high streets with high foot traffic. A website will be created to provide updated information and preview trailers while maintaining an air of mystery around the film. Social media accounts will also be made on platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to engage more of the audience and hold competitions to increase popularity and success.
Individual Film pitch
The film pitch proposes an opening scene for a drama film called "Dangerous Ground". The opening would show a man walking in a mysterious place after a murder, with flashbacks to the crime. The goal is to hook viewers within the first 3 minutes with a tense, dramatic sequence inspired by films like "Layer Cake" and "Seven" that establish mystery and anxiety. The target audience for this 15-rated drama film would be those aged 15 and older, appealing to fans of the drama genre broadly.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
