Production log task 3
A film distributor is responsible for marketing and financing a film by setting its release date and format. Independent distributors operate within one country, while multinational distributors sell films globally. The document then profiles three major film distribution companies - 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, and Warner Bros. - noting their nationality, films distributed, and genres specialized in. It determines that while all three companies are too large, 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. may be better suited to distribute a low-budget, non-professional British slasher film due to their location and genres respectively.
Institutions Research
The document discusses several major film studios and their involvement with film noir. It describes Focus Features' history from 1992-2001 and their distribution of the neo-noir film Brick. It outlines Warner Bros.' founding in 1923, ownership by Time Warner, distribution of many film noir films, and neo-noir films like L.A. Confidential and Blade Runner. The document also notes Paramount Pictures' founding in 1912 and 1914, ownership by Viacom, revenues, digital distribution, and distribution of the film noir Double Indemnity. Universal Studios is described as founded in 1912, owned by Comcast through NBCUniversal, generating $4.239 billion in revenues in 2011, distributing films like Jaws
Evaluation Question Three.
1) A distributor buys, warehouses, and resells noncompeting products or product lines to retailers or end users. For films, a distributor handles theatrical release and marketing of DVDs, downloads, etc. in a particular country.
2) For an independent film company, options for distribution include large Hollywood studios for global audiences or smaller companies for local/niche audiences.
3) The filmmakers decided to get funding from grants like the BFI since their film is small and independent, and chose a small distributor like Film 4 to reach their domestic audience.
Presentation1
Film distributors in the UK spend £300 million annually bringing new releases to audiences. They identify films' target audiences and develop release strategies to maximize box office returns. A film's performance in its first 3 days generates 30% of total sales. Distributors consider a film's marketability, playability, director and stars when planning saturation or specialized releases across 1000+ screens or select theaters, respectively, to best reach interested audiences.
Evaluation question 3
Film 4 would be the most likely media institution to distribute the media product because it supports independent UK filmmakers and has distributed many successful small-scale British films. As a company that funds productions targeting local audiences, Film 4 provides opportunities for independent films to reach audiences and gain recognition in the industry. Other options for independent film distribution include smaller companies like Microwave that provide funding to promote young UK filmmakers, as well as national lottery grants awarded by the BFI to encourage British film production and distribution.
Evaluation task 3
A film distributor is responsible for marketing and distributing a film. They determine the release date and method of distribution (theatrical or home video). Their job is to advertise and market the film to reach the largest audience possible through word of mouth. Independent distributors operate within a single country, while multinational distributors sell films worldwide. The document then profiles three major multinational distributors and discusses why an independent horror distributor like Troma would be better suited to distribute the author's low-budget slasher film.
Presentation3 distribution
The document discusses potential media institutions to distribute the low-budget independent British film "Coldstream" based on its target audience of 15-25 year olds and limited budget. It considers Film 4, Vertigo Films, and Lionsgate as options, noting Film 4's Oscar-winning successes, Vertigo's diverse genres and box office hit Street Dance 3D, and Lionsgate's productions of The Hunger Games trilogy and Twilight saga films. Social media is suggested as a cost-effective marketing method for "Coldstream" to reach its target audience.
Independent cinema research
The document discusses various aspects of independent cinema production, distribution, and exhibition. It describes the typical 5 stages of film production as well as multiple sources of revenue for distribution, including theatrical showings, online distribution, and streaming. It notes that independent films are typically exhibited online, at independent cinemas, or film festivals. The document provides examples of both independent and mainstream production and distribution companies.

Production & distribution research
This document provides information on 8 films including their production companies, distribution companies, budgets, and release details. It includes both blockbuster films like Divergent, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, and Taken 3 as well as independent films like This is England, Metro Manila, and In our name. The blockbuster films typically had larger budgets in the tens or hundreds of millions and were distributed by major studios like Lionsgate and 20th Century Fox. The independent films had smaller budgets in the millions or less and were distributed through independent means or film festivals.
Uk film industry as media
The British film industry has experienced several booms and recessions since the 1930s. In the 1990s, costume dramas and comedies like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Brassed Off found success. National Lottery funding and the British Film Council provided support. Key choices for the industry included low-budget films for mainstream British and art house audiences, as well as international co-productions. A successful film industry is important for Britain's economy, bringing in much of its revenue from outside the UK. Government support and production companies have aided development, though partnerships with US distributors are often needed to achieve large profits.
Case studies for presentation
The document compares the production, marketing, distribution, and reception of the films The Force Awakens and Suffragette. The Force Awakens had a $245 million budget from Walt Disney Pictures and grossed over $2 billion globally. Suffragette had a smaller $14 million budget from independent studio Ruby Films and grossed $16 million in limited release. While The Force Awakens saw widespread success due to its large budget and Disney backing, Suffragette faced challenges in distribution and scale as an independent film. Both films received critical acclaim, though The Force Awakens was commercially far more successful.
Independent versus mainstream film
This document discusses the differences between independent and mainstream films. Mainstream films are produced by major Hollywood studios, have large marketing budgets, star-driven narratives, and aim for mass appeal and commercial success. In contrast, independent films have limited distribution and marketing, explore challenging themes, use unconventional styles, and aim more for critical appreciation than box office returns. Gravity and The King's Speech are provided as examples of mainstream and independent films respectively to highlight these differences.
Production, distribution and exhibition companies
The document discusses different types of film companies, including production companies that provide the physical basis for films, distribution companies that are responsible for marketing films, and exhibition companies that sell the experience of publicly screening films. It provides examples of major production companies like DreamWorks Animation, distribution companies like Lionsgate Entertainment known for distributing horror films, and exhibition companies that have no direct input in creating films but exhibit them for the public.
Publishers and distributors
Hammer Film Productions will publish The Woodman, a company founded in 1934 that became famous for partnering with major US studios like Warner Bros. Brain Damage Films will distribute the film worldwide, having been one of the largest independent horror film distributors since 2001. C.Consortium cyrte investments recently acquired Hammer Film Productions and plans to invest $50 million in new horror films.
Independent vs mainstream film
This document compares the blockbuster film Avatar to the independent film Hunky Dory in three key areas:
1. Avatar was produced by several major Hollywood studios with a budget of £237 million and profits of £2.788 billion. Hunky Dory had unknown funding from smaller independent producers and made £12,629 in profits.
2. High budget films aim to make profits and are associated with commercial success, while low budget films focus more on critical success and artistry.
3. Both types of films ultimately want to create quality films and make money, even if profit goals differ, and can both achieve success through different means.
Black swan case study
The document discusses the history of 20th Century Fox film corporation, formed through the merger of Twentieth Century Pictures and Fox Film Corporation in 1935. It then provides production details about the 2010 psychological thriller film Black Swan, including its $13 million budget, $106.9 million domestic gross, production companies involved, and cross-promotional marketing strategies used.

1) Technology has greatly impacted the movie industry since its inception, from the invention of celluloid to advancements like 3D.
2) The Hollywood studio system rose to power in the 1920s through practices like block booking and vertical integration that dominated the industry.
3) Television posed a challenge to Hollywood in the 1950s, leading studios to adapt through new technologies and genres, though they remain a major force today through consolidation and blockbuster hits.
Question 1: Evaluation
The document discusses how the media product, a trailer for a horror film, uses and develops conventions of real trailers, movie posters, and magazine covers. For the trailer, it follows conventions like Vladimir Propp's narrative theory of character types and includes common horror themes like the supernatural. The movie poster uses typical elements like a close-up image, strapline, dark colors and lighting, and social media links. The magazine cover draws on Empire magazine as inspiration, employing relevant colors to the genre, a long shot main image, and multiple cover lines. Overall, the media product challenges some conventions like using a female lead character but largely conforms to expected forms for these media types.
Audience Research
This document discusses different methods for classifying audiences, including demographics like gender, age, and location, as well as socioeconomic class and lifestyle segmentation models. It describes several popular audience classification systems such as using socioeconomic class labels (A, B, C1, C2, D, E), the 4C's Marketing Model that places audiences into groups based on cultural characteristics, and The LifeMatrix approach which defines ten audience categories based on values, attitudes, and demographics.
Professional Budget
The document provides a budget breakdown for the costs of producing a trailer. It estimates the professional costs of camera hire at £159 for 1 day, including a camera for £140 and tripod for £19. Cast and crew costs are estimated at £1848.53 to pay 3 actors £299.51 each for 1 day of filming and 2 directors/producers £475 each. Costume costs total £380.95 for 3 outfits. As filming was on their own property, there was no cost for the set location. The total estimated budget for the trailer is £2988.48.
Evaluation 6
Taking photographs for the magazine project allowed me to learn about smartphone camera capabilities. I used the iPhone 5 camera and editing apps like VSCO Cam and Afterlight. While convenient, smartphone editing was less professional than desktop programs. Creating the magazine involved using various technologies like Weebly for online publishing, Prezi for presentations, and Adobe Fireworks for image editing. Prezi was easy to use but Fireworks was difficult to learn, resulting in edited photos not making the final product. Overall, the project was a learning experience about different technologies for media creation.
Who would be the audience for your media?
The document discusses identifying the target audience for a media product. It analyzes the audience using several frameworks: by their class as young working adults with low incomes; through the 4C's marketing model as "Explorers" who seek new brands and are young students; under the Life Matrix as "Tribe Wired" and "Fun/atics" who are young, digital and free-spirited; and through an audience profile of a 17-year old female student interested in alternative music.
Photography Plan
The document outlines a photo shoot plan for a punk magazine. It will feature 17-18 year olds styled to look like punk band members, using props and clothing like skinny jeans and bandannas to convey the punk genre. Photos will include mid and full shots to show clothing, body language, and attitude. High key lighting and Photoshop will be used. Inspiration photos show rebellious, cool styles the photographer aims to achieve. Friends will model, styled with typical punk fashion, hair, and makeup. Photos will take place in a well-lit corridor against a white wall for quality natural light.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The document summarizes the ways in which the magazine "PUNKED" represents the punk/rock genre and social groups through its visual imagery and content. Some key aspects included using younger models aged 18-25 to attract a younger audience, portraying the "bad boy" personality through aloof facial expressions and rebellious styles, and featuring modern hairstyles and fashion popular with younger punk/rock bands. The magazine aims to represent current trends within the genre while appealing to middle-class audiences.
Mind Map
The document provides ideas for developing a magazine focused on punk music, including potential masthead names like "Smashed" and "Punked". It suggests colour schemes like black, white, and red. It also discusses establishing a consistent brand identity across social media, websites, and a house style. Potential straplines are proposed such as "In new music we trust" and "What you really want to hear". Story ideas include exclusive band interviews, competitions, reviews, and music news.
Survey Monkey Evaluation
Bethany Vaughan conducted a survey to help design a new music magazine. Most respondents were young females who did not frequently buy magazines. Popular magazine types included gossip and music magazines published every 2 weeks or monthly. The survey found that alternative music was most popular. Respondents enjoyed exclusive interviews, free items, competitions and reviews. This information will help Vaughan design a fortnightly magazine focused on alternative artists that includes popular features like cover lines about top songs to attract a young female audience.
Mood Board
Bethany Vaughan created a mood board for a rock/punk pop music magazine. The mood board includes photos of bands and artists from those genres to attract teen and adult readers who identify with the musicians. It also features covers of mainstream music magazines targeted toward rock and punk pop fans that convey a rebellious attitude fitting for the genre. The magazine cover images provided inspiration for the style, colors, and front cover conventions for Bethany's proposed magazine.
Production Plan
The document outlines the magazine production process for 'KERRANG' magazine. It begins with setting a publication date, usually the first Saturday of the month. This is followed by acquiring content through in-house writers and freelancers. The content is then sub-edited for accuracy and layout is designed on desktop publishing software. Proofreading occurs before filing to the printer. The printer prints and the magazine is distributed to retailers and readers. Producing a weekly magazine like 'KERRANG' requires working far in advance to research and acquire timely content that will appeal to their target young adult audience.
Audience Profile
The target audience for the punk rock magazine is people of all genders aged 14-25. This age group is associated with rebellion and the magazine will feature pop-punk and punk rock bands to appeal to younger and older readers within this demographic. The socio-economic needs of the target audience will mainly be students and unemployed people in the lower E economic group who will not have much disposable income, so the magazine price must reflect this. According to uses and gratifications theory, readers will identify with the cover stars and buy the magazine to learn more about bands they already like. The consistent brand identity will also provide a sense of reliability to the target audience as 'survivors' seeking entertainment according to Maslow's hierarchy of

The document then reviews several major film distributors - Lionsgate, Universal, Paramount, Columbia, and Warner Brothers - and determines that Warner Brothers would be the best choice since they have successfully distributed many psychological horror films similar to the genre of the film trailer being distributed.
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.
The big 6, American Film companies
The document outlines the six major American film studios known as the "Big 6": Warner Bros. Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, Universal, Columbia Pictures, 21st Century Fox, and Paramount Pictures. For each studio, it provides a brief history and highlights some of their most successful films based on box office earnings, such as The Dark Knight, Pirates of the Caribbean, E.T., Spider-Man, X-Men, and The Godfather.
Warner bros media presentation
Warner Bros. was established in 1923 by the Warner brothers and released the first "talkie" film in 1927. It is now a global entertainment company that produces over 6,500 films and 3,000 TV programs. Warner Bros. produces around 18-22 films per year that it fully finances or co-finances and distributes worldwide. Recent blockbuster films like The Dark Knight Rises and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey have earned Warner Bros. over $1 billion each. Warner Bros. has a wide range of genres but focuses on action, comedy, and horror films and spends $150-200 million on major releases that earn several hundred million globally.
What kind of media institutions would distribute
Based on the document, there are several media institutions that would be suitable to distribute an independent horror film with a low budget:
Universal, Lionsgate, Blumhouse Productions, and Vertigo Entertainment. Universal has a history of distributing indie horror films. Lionsgate is very influential and has found success with horror films like SAW. Blumhouse Productions has produced highly profitable horror films like Paranormal Activity and Insidious. Vertigo Entertainment focuses on horror films, bringing international titles to American audiences. Deal with the Devil, the production company mentioned, could also seek distribution from these established horror film distributors.

Q 2 (as)
This document discusses different types of media distributors for films and which might be suitable for distributing a low-budget, independent psychological horror film. It outlines major film studios like Universal Music Group and indie labels like Soda Pictures. Majors tend to distribute big-budget, star-studded films, while indies handle lower-budget, art-house films and unknown casts. The document proposes that Lionsgate, known for distributing films like American Psycho, or UK-based Revolver Entertainment would be good fits as they have experience with similar independent, low-budget horror genres.
Institutions for representation
Lionsgate distributes a wide variety of films, especially foreign and independent films, including successful franchises like The Hunger Games and Saw. They distribute films to both cable and broadcast television. As a conglomerate, Lionsgate has the funds to expand into other mediums like television and music.
Universal Pictures distributes films worldwide from their bases in California and New York. Though large, they do not pursue convergence in other mediums. Their horror films include Mama and Jaws.
Warner Bros is another huge conglomerate that distributes films globally across genres. As they expand into other mediums like television and music, they use convergence to build their brand image and become a global business.
Media warner bros.

Warner Brothers owns many subsidiary companies including Warner Bros. Studios, Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Comics, and New Line Cinema. Some of their most successful films include The Dark Knight trilogy and the Harry Potter franchise, benefiting from established brands and targeting wide audiences. Their extensive library of over 6,650 films and 40,000 TV titles has also contributed to their ongoing success.

Avatar was a blockbuster film from 2009 directed by James Cameron with extensive marketing including trailers and social media. It had the highest worldwide gross of any film at $2.8 billion. Warp Films is a small, independent British company founded in 2001 known for films like This is England.

Task 5
The document summarizes information about 5 independent film production companies - Film 4, BBC Films, Imagine Entertainment, Miramax, and Village Roadshow Pictures.
