The document discusses film institutions and the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).

An independent film company would be best suited to distribute the media product due to its lower budget and smaller target audience. Independent film companies like Independent Film Company and Supernova Films specialize in distributing smaller, lower budget films through online platforms rather than wide theatrical releases. They have experience with similar thriller genres to the media product, which involves a man being forced to deliver a mysterious package across London within a day to save his kidnapped girlfriend.

Written analysis of opening sequence
This opening sequence from I, Robot focuses on setting the scene and story through quick editing between titles and action scenes. It establishes the production companies behind the film before showing a robot pulling someone from a car at night, under dark and low lit underwater lighting. Camera shots are rarely used and instead the sequence relies heavily on CGI titles, but when used the camera moves frantically as if from a point of view during an accident. Minor string sounds build suspense between titles that display over action scenes with sound effects.

Initial ideas for thriller movie
This document outlines initial ideas for a generic thriller movie, including a narrative structure involving something happening that leads to action and a fight scene to figure out part of the plot, with the bad guys becoming good guys but everything ending badly with deaths. A potential plot involves a phone call with an unknown voice leading to a loved one's kidnapping, instructions to get them back, and the lover turning out to be the killer with the kidnapper being an ex-lover and then a happy ending, though the outline calls this plot horrible and corny. It also discusses uncertainty around the location, potential props like weapons and costumes, sound elements like music and effects, and initial characters.

The document compares the high-budget film Avatar to the low-budget film Halloween. Avatar had a $425 million production budget from 20th Century Fox, while Halloween had a $325,000 budget from Compass International Pictures. Avatar went on to make $2.8 billion, while Halloween made $70 million. 20th Century Fox is a major studio known for big-budget blockbusters, while Compass International Pictures was a smaller company that primarily produced horror films and declared bankruptcy in 1981.
Evaluation Question 3 ASMedia
The document discusses three potential media institutions for distributing a new horror film opening: 20th Century Fox, Hammer Productions, and Lionsgate. Hammer Productions is summarized as the best choice because it exclusively focuses on the horror genre, is more likely to take on an independent filmmaker's project, and has experience appealing to younger audiences. Lionsgate would be the second choice and 20th Century Fox the third, as their main audiences are older or focused on other genres.
Q3
This document discusses film distribution options. It explains that a distributor purchases rights to a film and shows it to buyers to get it in front of audiences. Major distributors like Warner Bros. and Universal typically distribute big-budget films they produce themselves. Independent distributors like IFC Films and Revolver handle more niche films, often discovered at festivals. The document suggests an independently produced LGBTQ film about a transgender girl would likely be picked up by an independent distributor like IFC Films, which has a section for LGBTQ films, or potentially a streaming service going forward as they expand into distribution. It would aim to be shown at festivals to attract distributors seeking such independent niche films.
Audience And Institutions Revision Pack

It identifies that independent distributors like IFC Films and Revolver often pick up niche films from the film festival circuit. The film's inspirations and subject matter suggest it would fit well within IFC Film's LGBTQ section. Streaming services are also presented as a promising distribution avenue. In conclusion, the filmmakers would pursue the festival and independent distributor route given their film's independent production and niche genre.
Evaluation #3
The document discusses potential film distributors and chooses Universal and Lionsgate. Universal is chosen because it has been successful with horror and apocalyptic films, filling a gap in its genre portfolio. Lionsgate is chosen despite being newer, as it has found economic success internationally through franchises like The Hunger Games. Both companies globally distribute through subsidiaries and exhibit films through national chains to reach broad audiences.
Insititution

This call sheet is for a music video shoot for the Foo Fighters song "Times Like These" taking place on November 23, 2013. It will involve shots of two actors, Michael Rowell and Mark Stewart, running around the Hartlepool Sixth Form College and surrounding areas. Andrew Tierney will direct and produce, bringing cameras, tripods, memory cards, and protective equipment. Costumes and a toy knife are needed as props.
Risk assessment
This document lists various risks associated with filming a project and the responsibilities for preventing each risk. The risks include adverse weather, actor scheduling conflicts, illness, equipment malfunctions, low batteries, injuries, broken equipment, props, poor actor performances, trip hazards on set, outdoor slip hazards, electrical shocks, traffic, and software issues. The document assigns responsibility for preventing each risk to either the filmmaker or both the filmmaker and actors. Prevention strategies include monitoring weather reports, carefully selecting available actors, having backup actors, using large memory cards, ensuring charged batteries, safety instructions for actors, having replacement equipment available, budgeting for props, retakes, hazard coverage/removal, location selection, equipment setup inspection, and frequent saving
Script
The document is a script for a scene in a movie where a killer approaches his target. In the scene, the killer engages the target in a game to throw rocks at a tree to get the target's attention while searching for rocks. While the target makes noises looking for rocks, the killer finds one and uses it to strangle the target to death.
Risk assessment
There are several risks involved in filming a movie that will need to be addressed to ensure actor safety. The film will be shot on dry, sunny days to prevent slipping on muddy or wet surfaces. Strangling and fighting scenes will use soft props and be performed gently. Actors will be carefully placed on dry, soft ground free of sharp objects for scenes involving being taken to the ground.
4
This document discusses the target audience for a media product. The target audience is people in their late teens and older, as thriller movies often appeal more to older audiences. While not restricted to only older viewers, the film is rated 15+ due to some intense scenes, such as a character being strangled. Similar successful thriller films also tend to appeal mainly to male audiences in this age range.
Question 6 media
The document discusses the strengths and weaknesses of camera equipment used for a film project. It notes the cameras' abilities to shoot in HD and ease of use as strengths, but identifies poor sound quality and lack of microphone ports as weaknesses. It also describes the filming process as easy but finding actors and suitable weather as challenges. New studio equipment was offered but not used, and editing software was found fairly easy to use by making shots darker for the intended tone. Garageband was not used to create the soundtrack due to unfamiliarity, and royalty-free music was used instead.
Question 7
The document discusses the learning experience of creating a film from preliminary planning to the final product. It notes that while the storyboard was not strictly followed, it helped with shot planning and understanding the story. The final cut needed to differ from the storyboard due to limitations. The document also reflects on improved use of shot types from the preliminary task to the final product, though some shots like shot reverse shot were not used. Finally, it expresses feeling more confident with the equipment used, but that better or more familiar equipment could have allowed better or faster work.
Question1
The document discusses how the filmmaker's thriller film uses generic conventions of the genre by building suspense through a sequence of shots and music. While it does not challenge conventions, it develops them by having a plot that builds tension until the climax.

9frame
The opening scene uses shallow focus and slow panning to show the burning White House, establishing a sense of unease. Next, a zombie charges the camera in front of the White House, setting up the main conflict of zombies attacking humans. CGI is then used to pull back and show the destroyed planet, with no signs of resistance against the zombies. Several shots throughout establish "rules" for surviving the zombie apocalypse, like shooting zombies or following safety protocols, as violations of these rules put the humans in danger. CGI is also used heavily to depict dangerous zombie encounters and the consequences of not following the rules.
Initial ideas for thriller movie
This document outlines initial ideas for a generic thriller movie, including a narrative structure involving something happening that leads to action and a fight scene to figure out part of the plot, with the potential for bad guys to become good guys and everything ending badly with deaths. A potential plot is described involving a phone call with an unknown voice leading to a loved one's kidnapping, instructions to get them back, and a twist where the lover is revealed as the killer and kidnapper is an ex-lover, aiming for a happy ending. Locations, props, sound, and main characters are listed but locations are still unsure.
