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.

Low and high budget films[1]
The document compares the low-budget horror film Insidious produced for $1.5 million by the lesser known Film District studio to the high-budget film Dark Shadows produced for $150 million by the renowned Warner Brothers Pictures studio. While Dark Shadows had a larger budget and box office earnings of $245.5 million, Insidious was very profitable for its budget, earning $97 million at the box office. Both studios aimed their films primarily at male audiences but Film District outperformed expectations for an emerging studio given their success with Insidious and other films on smaller budgets than the well-established powerhouse Warner Brothers.
Low budget vs high budget
The document compares the high-budget film The Hangover Part III and the low-budget film Napoleon Dynamite in terms of their production companies and financial details. The Hangover Part III had a budget of $103 million and grossed $351 million, while Napoleon Dynamite had a much smaller budget of $400,000 but still grossed $44.9 million. Both films were produced by major studios, with The Hangover Part III produced by Legendary Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros., while Napoleon Dynamite was produced by MTV Films and distributed by Fox Searchlight Pictures.
Mainstream films versus independent films
This document compares mainstream films produced by Warner Bros. to independent films produced by IFC Films. Warner Bros. is one of the major Hollywood studios that produces big-budget films for mass entertainment. IFC Films is an independent distributor that produces lower-budget films focused on drama, documentary, and more challenging narratives. While Warner Bros. films make significantly more money, with budgets over $100 million and box office earnings in the hundreds of millions, IFC Films produces films on tighter budgets of only a few million that appeal to smaller audiences but provide more thought-provoking content. Overall, the document analyzes the differences in institutions, audiences, and film styles between mainstream blockbusters and independent films.
Independent vs mainstream films
This document discusses the differences between independent and mainstream films in the film industry. It provides details about two specific films as examples - Paranormal Activity as a low budget, independent film, and Titanic as a high budget, mainstream film. Some key points made are:
- Cinemas make most of their money from food/drink sales with mainstream films that attract larger audiences.
- It's harder for independent films to get cinema screenings as cinemas prioritize films that will bring in crowds.
- Paranormal Activity had an extremely low budget of $15,000 but made $193.4 million, while Titanic had a $200 million budget and made $2.187 billion.
Independent film
An independent film is produced outside of major Hollywood studios. It has more creative freedom but smaller budgets, crews, and distribution. The process begins with developing an idea, fundraising, completing production, and organizing distribution. While independent films face constraints like funding and marketing, some highly successful indie films like The Grand Budapest Hotel have grossed over $60 million.
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.

This was the final film in the hugely successful Harry Potter franchise, so Warner Bros knew it had a built-in audience that would drive box office success.
Marketing methods included massive trailers before other tent pole films, a viral marketing campaign using the film's themes, partnerships with theme parks and video games, and interviews/promotions from the beloved cast.

- 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.
Evaluation activity 3
Film4 would be the best distribution company for the filmmakers' low-budget horror film. As a UK-based company that specializes in distributing smaller, independent films, including horror, Film4 could nationally distribute their film through television channels they own like Channel 4 and E4. Internet distribution would also be effective since it's relatively cheap and broad in reach. While companies like Lionsgate and StudioCanal have success distributing horror films, they tend to focus on higher budgets than the filmmakers' production. Film4 offers emerging talent opportunities and has experience with similar low-budget, national distribution projects.

The document compares the production of the high-budget film Avatar to the low-budget film Cockneys vs Zombies. Avatar had a budget of $237 million and was produced by major studios like Twentieth Century Fox and Lightstorm Entertainment. It made $2.7 billion. Cockneys vs Zombies had a tiny budget of £2.25 million and was produced by little-known indie companies. It only made $109,518. While Twentieth Century Fox is a hugely successful major studio, the smaller companies working on low-budget films may have to work harder with fewer resources.
Evaluation activity 3
This document discusses potential film distribution companies for a small, low-budget horror film production. It analyzes Film4, Lionsgate UK, and Studio Canal UK as options. Film4 is identified as the preferred choice as it specializes in smaller, UK-based films and has a track record of distributing successful horror titles. Though Lionsgate and Studio Canal also have experience with the genre, they tend to focus on higher budgets than the production being considered. Film4 could provide national distribution through its Channel 4 and E4 platforms, targeting younger audiences, and may allow global reach through partnerships.
Task 3 distribution 1
Distribution involves getting a film to audiences. Distribution companies acquire films through their own studios or film festivals. As our film is a complex, dark conspiracy thriller with a slow pace, it may appeal to distributors if it has a large enough audience. However, we would need to promote it at film festivals to get noticed. While our film features some universal themes that could appeal internationally, its dark tone may limit its foreign audience appeal. Exhibition strategies like film festivals and marketing through online ads, TV spots, and magazines could help distributors and consumers notice our film. It might be released in cinemas, on DVD/Blu-ray, online or on demand. We could also self-distribute to maintain more control
Short film vs feature length film
Short films are typically under 30 minutes while feature films are 70-210 minutes. Short films have small budgets so rely on festivals for distribution, while features get funding from major studios. Features can afford famous actors and locations, helping films like Get Out gross over $255 million. Meanwhile, short films tell relatable stories on modest budgets, with examples like The Silent Child winning awards. Major studios produce generic feature films, while independent companies take risks on niche short films.

Film production
This document discusses the film production process. It explains that there are four main stages: pre-production, production, post-production, and distribution. Pre-production involves developing the idea, storyboarding, and budgeting. Production is the filming stage. Post-production is where the film is edited together and promoted. Distribution is getting the film into cinemas by working with film distributors. Short films, foreign films, and independent films are also briefly mentioned.

- A list of key terms related to institutions, production, distribution, and the relationship between media texts, institutions, and audiences.
- Examples of past exam questions and topics that could be covered.
- Five case studies of films from 2012-2013 to use for exam preparation, including their budgets, box office performances, and production/distribution companies.
Evaluation question 3
This document discusses the stages of film production and distribution. It focuses on who could distribute a low-budget independent film. Film 4 is identified as a potential distributor because they have a reputation for distributing independent films that find success, including those targeting younger audiences. While Film 4 distributes similar horror genres, the film's lack of experience and professional quality make it a risk. Online distribution is proposed to help the film gain exposure and potentially move to channels like Film 4.
Global and local audiences 2015
Film companies must consider both global and local audiences when developing a film. For the pre-production stage, producers think about the target audience and how they will relate to the idea. They also consider how many people might watch the film. The Hobbit appealed globally due to its large-scale production values, A-list cast and crew, and storyline based on a well-known book. The Fifth Estate tried to appeal both locally and globally but failed globally due to less familiar subject matter and controversy around the Julian Assange story. Films like Shifty have more local UK appeal due to understated production and UK setting and cast, making them less appealing globally. Distribution is also a key factor - global films get major backing while local
Slumdog millionaire
Slumdog Millionaire was based on the 2005 novel Q & A by Vikas Swarup. Danny Boyle was drawn to the script and directed the film. It was produced by Celador Films, Film4, and Pathé Pictures International. Dev Patel and Freida Pinto were cast in the lead roles. The film was initially rejected for US theatrical release but was later distributed by Fox Searchlight Pictures. It received positive reviews but some criticism in India. The film was a commercial success upon release.
A2 evaluation question 2
The combination of the main film product and ancillary texts like the poster and radio trailer were effective due to their synergy. Both the poster and radio trailer embodied themes of danger, mystery, and action/thriller to match the film. Comparisons were made to successful real examples to guide the design of the ancillary texts. Audience feedback also confirmed popularity for the chosen genre, aiding promotion of the film to the target demographic. Overall, the research and matching of themes across products created a cohesive advertising platform.
Evaluation Question 3
Vertigo Films would be the best media institution to distribute the film. While larger distributors like Warner Brothers and Paramount may have distributed similar gangster films successfully, they are not a good fit due to the film's unknown actors and complex plot. Smaller, UK-based independent distributors like Vertigo Films, Film4, and Miramax were considered instead. Though Film4 and Miramax distribute some large films, Vertigo's past distribution of films with a similar target audience and subject matter make it the most suitable choice overall.

A production company is responsible for making the film and raising funds, examples given are Lionsgate and New Line Cinema. The hypothetical production company created is called Vision, with a logo of a film disk as an eye to catch viewers' attention related to the name. A distributor is responsible for releasing the film, examples given are 20th Century Fox Films and Columbia Pictures. Paramount was chosen as the hypothetical distributor as they are well known for releasing popular teen drama films, making them a suitable partner who would fund the film in exchange for distribution rights.
The production process research task
Students are instructed to pair up and research a case study film for a fact sheet that will be added to the class blog. The fact sheet should include information about the film's production process, including the director, producer, key personnel and their roles, production companies involved, filming details like location and budget, and how the budget was spent. It should also include distribution details like the distributors, type of distribution, box office earnings over time and in different countries, theatrical release details like number of theaters and how long it was shown, and how the film can now be accessed after its theatrical run.
Big vs small
The document discusses the differences between big and small budget films and film companies. The big 6 film studios - Paramount Pictures, 21st Century Fox, Disney, Universal, Columbia, and Warner Bros. - are the largest and highest earning studios, producing big budget films. Independent film studios like Warp Films, BBC, Film 4, and Vertigo produce films without partnerships with the big 6, often on smaller budgets between £500,000 to £8 million. While big budget films from major studios can spend over £200 million, allowing for big stars, elaborate sets and special effects, smaller budget independent films focus more on story and meaning but have less guaranteed cinema distribution.
Question 3
Lionsgate would be well-suited to distribute the media product due to its reputation for distributing high-quality independent and action films. As the largest mini-major film studio in North America, Lionsgate has had success distributing several major film franchises. It also has experience with controversial films too risky for major studios. Lionsgate's library and partnerships with other distributors would help the media product reach a wide audience across various platforms. The poster of the media product is similar in style to Lionsgate's successful Expendables action film franchise, indicating it would appeal to similar audiences.

Sony is a large international conglomerate that produced and distributed the James Bond film 'Skyfall'. As a major Hollywood studio, Sony was able to utilize extensive cross-promotion across its various business divisions, including music, games, and consumer electronics. It also had the financial resources and industry clout to engage in widespread early publicity campaigns. In contrast, smaller independent films have far more limited marketing budgets and opportunities for synergistic promotion.
Evaluation 3
The document discusses choosing a media institution to distribute a British film. It analyzes potential distributors before selecting Film 4. Key reasons for choosing Film 4 include that it is a major name in British film distribution, has experience with similar films, invests £500,000 in productions, and owns popular TV channels for advertising and screening films. Other potential distributors like Working Title Films were rejected for not being a good fit for the film's genre.

Overall, the author determines that seeking production funding and self-distributing may be the best approach to ensure a profitable outcome, though success cannot be guaranteed. They ultimately created their own distribution company called "J&M Productions" to include in the film's opening ident.
Media institution and audience research
This document compares three major film distribution companies - Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Brothers - and analyzes which would be the best fit for the author's film. Warner Brothers is identified as the best option due to its successful action films targeting similar audiences, its high production values and budgets exemplified by films like Harry Potter, and its strong reputation and profits compared to the other companies. The target audience for the author's film is identified as older teenagers and young adults due to its prison-based 18-rated subject matter.
Media institutions
This document discusses different types of film distributors and their roles. It explains that distributors are responsible for marketing and releasing films in theaters and on DVD. It also discusses targeting either broad "tent-pole" global audiences or more niche domestic audiences. The document provides examples of different distributors like Film 4, Lionsgate, and Working Title, noting their budgets and audience reach. It concludes that due to the niche motorsports drama topic, the film discussed should seek funding from organizations like BFI/National Lottery that support independent low-budget films.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
An institution is a media company that funds and distributes films and other media products for audiences. They help back films by providing funding and advertising. If funded, an institution would first distribute a film nationally and internationally in cinemas, then as DVDs and merchandise after the theatrical run. The document examines three potential institutions - JD Pictures, Film Four, and BBC Films - that would be good fits to fund and distribute the author's upcoming low-budget British music film based on their experience with similar projects and audiences.
Question 3
- Warp Films would be a good choice to distribute my low-budget film because they specialize in independently funding smaller, culturally relevant films.
- Their successful distribution of the low-budget horror film "28 Days Later" shows they are open to films with compelling stories and characters, even on a small scale, similar to my own film.
- My target audience of 18-25 year old males is quite niche, making a smaller production company a better fit than a large one focused on mass appeal.
Evaluation activity 3
This document discusses potential film distribution companies for a small, low-budget horror film produced by Dream Light Productions. It analyzes Film4, Lionsgate UK, and Studio Canal UK as options, as they have experience distributing similar films in the UK. Film4 is highlighted as a good choice as it supports emerging talent, has a strong online presence, and has successfully distributed films like "Kill List". While global distribution could provide more revenue, national distribution through Film4's UK channels is more realistic given the film's small budget.
Individ cs
This case study examines the 2012 film Johnny English Reborn. It discusses the film's production company Working Title, its director Oliver Parker, and stars Rowan Atkinson, Gillian Anderson, and Daniel Kaluuya. The film had a $45 million budget which was financed through Working Title's partnership with Universal Studios. During production, the film did not encounter any major issues and was shot both in studios and on location. Johnny English Reborn was distributed digitally, helping to market it to broad audiences.
Evaluation – question 2
This document discusses different types of media institutions that could distribute a media product and why. It analyzes large institutions like Warner Bros, Disney, and Universal Studios that have huge budgets and widespread marketing and distribution capabilities. It also discusses smaller independent companies like Working Title Films and Bedlam Productions that have more limited budgets. The document concludes that for a large-scale thriller film, Universal Studios would be the best choice due to its large budget, successful history distributing thrillers like Psycho, and potential for huge profits.
Institutions
This document discusses institutions, funding, production values, marketing, and examples of independent films. It notes that independent films are typically lower budget productions funded by multiple companies. Around 50% of the budget goes towards production values like setting and lighting. Marketing often involves film festivals and social media. Similar independent films like Winter's Bone had modest budgets but found success through festivals like Sundance. Warp Films is given as an example of a British independent production company.
Presentation2
The document discusses which type of media institution would be best for distributing a low-budget horror film. It argues that a smaller, independent company like Warp Films would be more suitable than a major studio. Warp Films supports lower budget, culturally significant films. Examples like 28 Days Later were successful despite small budgets due to strong stories and characters. The summary also notes that the target audience for the film would be predominantly male ages 18-25, further supporting the choice of a smaller distributor suited for niche films within the mass market.
Warp films distributor
Warp Films was chosen as the distributor because it is an independent film company based in the UK that specializes in controversial films suitable for the genre of the media product. Warp Films invests smaller amounts in more local films and is familiar with lower budget films, unlike larger studios that require bigger budgets. As a psychological thriller, the media product has a limited target audience, so Warp Films' focus on smaller demographics makes it a better fit than a major studio aiming for wide audiences.
Warp films distributor
The document discusses why Warp Films was chosen as the distributor for the media product. Warp Films is an independent film company based in London and Sheffield that has experience distributing controversial films suitable for the genre of the media product, which is a psychological thriller. As an independent company, Warp Films invests smaller amounts of money into more niche projects, making it a better fit than a larger studio like Warner Brothers that targets wider audiences with bigger budgets.
Film Distribution
The document discusses film distribution, which involves marketing and circulating films in theaters and home viewing formats. A distributor's main objectives are to persuade exhibitors like theaters to show the film and set up screenings. They handle advertising, securing contracts with theaters regarding ticket sales revenue, collecting additional profits from DVD/Blu-ray sales and streaming, ensuring copies of the film are delivered to theaters on time, and monitoring box office performance. Distributors must consider factors like the target audience, competition from other releases, and a film's star power when planning distribution. They use varying strategies based on a film's type, from big Hollywood releases to smaller foreign or independent films.
Film Distribution for The Searchers
Our film production company, Sinuous Pictures, produces psychological thrillers. Due to producing this genre of film, potential distributors that may be interested include New Line Cinema and Rogue, both of which have experience distributing similar thriller films successfully. A distributor is responsible for distributing the film to audiences by deciding where and when it screens, promoting the film, and organizing home video releases. We aim to appeal to both UK and international audiences, especially English-speaking markets, by promoting the film widely across various countries.

- 4. Question 2 • How much money was used to produce these films (the budget)? • Insidious Budget: $1.5milllion • Dark Shadows Budget: $150million
- 5. Question 3 • How much money was made from each of these films? • Insidious box office: $97,000,000 • Dark Shadows box office: $245,500,000
- 6. Question 4 • How well known are the production companies for both the high-budget and low- budget film? • Film District was not known before they made their successful film Insidious which got them known in the film business. • Warner Brothers is one of the big six and is known globally and made successful films like Harry Potter.
- 7. Question 5 • List the differences between the high-budget film and the low-budget film in terms of the institutions. • The institution of Warner Brothers spend a lot of their high budget on special effects, cast and directors. • The institution of Film district spend a lot more of their money of promotion and trailers because they’re less known.
- 8. Question 6 • List any similarities that exist between the high-budget film and the low-budget film in terms of the institutions? • The similarities between these high budget and low budget film institutions is that they spend the majority of their money on the production of the film.
- 9. Question 7 • What other films has the production company made? Were these as successful? Why/why not? Low budget • The most of the Film Districts films were made after Insidious (2010) because this was their big break into the movie business. But they made films like Looper that was very successful having a budget of $30million but having a box office of $176,000,000. The reason it was successful because it had a unique storyline that come across in the trailer.
- 10. High Budget • Warner Brothers have been a distinguished movie company for many years and have made one of the most successful Franchises of all time Harry Potter. This film had a budget over the 8 films of 1 billion and had box office earnings of 7 billion. Why this was successful I think is because it took people to a magical place which had never been done before also it established itself well over the first few films so people wanted to come back.
- 11. Question 8 • What genre of films does the company usually produce? Is this important when considering who could produce your film? Why? • The genre of film Film District usually produces is normally action based like Olympus Has Fallen and Looper. • Warner Brothers produce a variety of different genre films but mostly Action, Horror and Comedy with films like Dark night, The Orphan and The Hangover all of which has been successful in some way.
- 12. Question 9 • What audiences do each of the institutions aim to appeal to? Is this reflected through their film choice, or does this vary? • These films both aim to appeal to a male or teenage audience as Film District produces films in the genre of sci-fi and action like Evil dead and Looper. Whilst Warner Brothers spend most of their money on action films as there most expensive films are action like Superman and Inception. These type of films generally would appeal to males or teenagers.
- 13. Question 10 • Which institution do you feel outperforms the other and could claim to be more successful, considering your research? Explain your reasons? • Obviously Warner Brothers have been an established power house since the 1970’s and continue to produce successful films. But considering Film District is not nearly as established as Warner Brothers it had a sharp incline to a well respected film company with a series of successful films like Looper, Insidious and Olympus has Fallen.
