In this slideshow I will be focussing on the different institutions that are involved in the distribution of low budget, independent British films.
Media presentatioopn
The document evaluates potential media institutions to distribute a film. Film4 is suggested as a suitable option as it produces a variety of genres, including thrillers, and would get the film recognized in the UK. Metradome is also discussed as a realistic option for up-and-coming producers as it produces films in a cost-effective manner across all genres. Hammer Films, based in London with US distribution ties, could benefit the film given its history of popular horror films and international distribution. However, distributing via Lions Gate may be difficult given the film's low budget. Hammer Films and online distribution are also mentioned as potential options.

Warp would be the best media company to distribute our media product because it is a small, independent UK film company. Distributing with Warp would allow our film to have the full backing of a wholly dedicated company, unlike larger conglomerates that divide focus between subsidiaries. Also, Warp's independent status would permit more controversial content than larger companies. However, Warp's smaller size means a limited budget, restricting special effects, and a smaller worldwide release compared to bigger companies.

Evaluation - Question 3.
This document discusses potential media institutions to distribute an independent thriller film and analyzes the pros and cons of each. It recommends Studiocanal as the best choice. Studiocanal is well-established across Europe distributing over 50 films annually and has experience with thriller genres. While Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox are very large, they were deemed not the best fit due to high costs and focus on different genres. Warp Films was ruled out for being too small to adequately distribute the film.
Evaluation question 3
This document discusses potential film distribution companies for a psychological horror film. It analyzes Sony, Warp Films, and 20th Century Fox as options. Warp Films is selected because, as an independent UK company, it focuses on niche stories and British issues, allowing controversial subjects without pressure to appeal to mass markets. While Warp Films' smaller budgets mean fewer screens and locations, the content and style would be less affected than the budget. Warp Films has successfully distributed similar British films dealing with controversial topics.

Lighting research
The document discusses the lighting techniques used in three films: Kingsman: The Secret Service, Before I Disappear, and American Ultra. For Kingsman, natural tones are used with brighter colors or less saturated tones used for CGI scenes. Before I Disappear features dark lighting with colored LED lights and filters to make scenes more vibrant. American Ultra starts with natural tones but gets darker and more saturated as the intensity increases, with lights placed both in front of and behind actors to convey being chased.
Fonts
The document discusses different film title fonts and how they are designed to convey information about the film's genre through subtle cues while distracting from explicitly stating the genre. Some fonts hide "The" in letters to seem more sophisticated while obscuring the comedy genre. Others use bolding, special effects, or unique individual letters to hint at comedic, action, or thriller elements in a subtle, quirky way without outright declaring the genre.

Lifecycle of a GME Trader: From Newbie to Diamond Hands
Your phone buzzes with a Reddit notification. It's the WallStreetBets forum, a cacophony of memes, rocketship emojis, and fervent discussions about Gamestop (GME) stock. A spark ignites within you - a mix of internet bravado, a rebellious urge to topple the hedge funds (remember Mr. Mayo?), and maybe that one late-night YouTube rabbit hole about tendies. You decide to YOLO (you only live once, right?).
Ramen noodles become your new best friend. Every spare penny gets tossed into the GME piggy bank. You're practically living on fumes, but the dream of a moonshot keeps you going. Your phone becomes an extension of your hand, perpetually glued to the GME ticker. It's a roller-coaster ride - every dip a stomach punch, every rise a shot of adrenaline.
Then, it happens. Roaring Kitty, the forum's resident legend, fires off a cryptic tweet. The apes, as the GME investors call themselves, erupt in a frenzy. Could this be it? Is the rocket finally fueled for another epic launch? You grip your phone tighter, heart pounding in your chest. It's a wild ride, but you're in it for the long haul.
