Institutional Research
Universal is currently the leading film studio with a 21% market share, up from 20% previously. It has had success with films like Despicable Me, Fast & Furious, and the 2013 horror film Mama which grossed $71 million. Paramount is second largest with a 20% market share and had moderate success with Star Trek and World War Z but the horror film Paranormal Activity 4 only grossed $18,971. The third largest studio is Buena Vista with a 15.6% share known for family films but the 2011 horror Fright Night was a flop, though Iron Man 3 grossed $409 million in 2013.
Audiences and institutions
While Hollywood films dominate cinema chains globally, British independent films can now target national audiences more cost effectively due to digital filmmaking technologies. Cinemas prefer blockbuster films that guarantee large audiences and additional concession stand sales. However, a film like "The World's End" was able to appeal to both British and American audiences through its marketing campaign that played on the franchise of the previous two films in the trilogy and its portrayal of traditionally British themes and settings. The development of new technologies has lowered production costs and allowed independent films to better compete with major studio films.
Media film industry
The document discusses several key aspects of the film industry, including that media conglomerates have significant financial resources to invest in film production and can market films through their various subsidiary companies. It notes that major media companies can own film studios, record labels, publishing houses, internet platforms, TV stations, magazines, and newspapers. There are five major film distributors that dominate the UK film industry: United International Pictures, Warner Bros, Buena Vista, 20th Century Fox, and Sony. Smaller British film productions sometimes work with outfits like Warp Films or the BBC for distribution and additional funding. The concentration of media ownership means the global film market is dominated by a few large Western conglomerates.
Question 3
This document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute an independent film product. It provides examples of major production companies like Warner Bros and 20th Century Fox that produce thriller films. It defines independent companies as those independent of broadcasters that produce programs for multiple broadcasters or for corporate clients. Lionsgate and Studiocanal are provided as examples. The document states that due to the filmmaker's amateur status and low-budget thriller film, a company specializing in the thriller genre would be most likely to distribute their product to the niche audience interested in that genre.

Level 4 response section b - media ownership
Media ownership has a significant impact on the successful distribution of films. Large companies like Time Warner, which owns Warner Bros., have a major advantage over smaller companies due to their ability to independently distribute films on a massive global scale through their ownership of production and distribution subsidiaries. For example, Warner Bros. was able to profit greatly from The Dark Knight Rises through extensive traditional and social media marketing campaigns made possible by their large size and resources. In contrast, smaller companies like Vertigo and Warp have much more limited distribution capabilities and rely heavily on film festivals and DVD sales rather than wide theatrical releases, making it difficult to compete with major studios.

Here is a draft section on film festivals:
Film festivals can be another important avenue for independent films seeking distribution. Some key festivals to consider include:
- Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) - One of the largest public film festivals in the world, held annually in Toronto, Canada. TIFF is a major launching point for Oscar contenders and international titles seeking North American distribution. Screening at TIFF can help generate buzz and interest from distributors.
- Sundance Film Festival - The largest independent film festival in the U.S., held annually in Park City, Utah. Sundance premieres both American and international independent films. Landing a slot at Sundance is highly competitive but can lead to acquisition deals, as many distributors
Q3
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.
Media powerpoint
An independent film industry like Warp Films would be best suited to distribute the author's low-budget film. Independent film industries provide funding for smaller, lower-budget films. Warp Films is a British digital film company founded in 1989 that has successfully distributed comedy films on a limited budget through social media advertising. As the author's film also has a low-budget, an independent distributor like Warp Films that specializes in this type of film could effectively distribute it through social media sites.
Film Distributors
Film distributors are responsible for marketing and setting release dates for films. 20th Century Fox is one of the major American film studios that distributes big-budget action films with special effects. While 20th Century Fox has distributed horror films, they focus on larger budgets than my UK film would have. Film4 is a British company that produces and distributes lower budget UK films for television and DVD, making them a good fit for my small, British production. DreamWorks distributes animated family films and would not be suitable since my film is not animated.
Question 3
Fox Searchlight Pictures is the most suitable distributor for the filmmaker's independent British horror film. Fox Searchlight specializes in independent and British films as well as horror, and has experience distributing low budget films that found commercial success, such as Slumdog Millionaire. As a division of 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight also has the reputation and resources to effectively distribute the film. Warner Bros, Disney and Entertainment Film Distributors were rejected as they primarily handle larger budget Hollywood productions rather than independent films.

The document discusses potential film distributors for a psychological thriller media project. It analyzes Universal and New Line Cinema as options.

New Line Cinema had success with films like Se7en and Lord of the Rings that inspired the project. Both companies effectively distribute films globally and exhibit in national theater chains to reach large audiences.

The document discusses sound choices for a production. The production team used some soundtrack sounds and Foley sounds to dramatize and give a thriller feel to the production, as decided by the group. As the camera operator, the author made behind-the-camera sounds to trick the audience into thinking a character was present when it was actually the operator, finding it more efficient than editing in sounds later.

Roland Barthes describes how a text can be unravelled and interpreted in multiple ways by pulling different narrative threads. He categorizes these narrative codes into five groups: action/enigma codes, symbols/signs, cultural references, descriptions, and narrative structures. Barthes also discusses how narratives are structured, with concepts like equilibrium, disequilibrium and resolution of conflict. A narrative can be comprehended through techniques such as dream sequences, repetition, characters' points of view, flashforwards, and pre-figuring of future events. Each story also has a location, whether physical, mythic, or virtual.

Synopsis
The two protagonists enter a dimly lit office to submit a legal document but encounter danger. They hear a strange noise and see the door slam shut behind them as a demon reveals itself. In a chaotic scene, they try to escape but one gets stuck under a table while the other tries to free them. As the demon's shadow crosses his body, the trapped protagonist begins screaming until the credits roll while the audience hears only his screams and a demonic laugh.
9 shots
This scene analysis provides details about shots in a scene to convey context and build tension. Wide shots establish the setting and show a woman outnumbered and handcuffed to a chair by threatening men. Close-up shot reverse shots show a man hitting the woman to assert authority over her and the impact it has. The wide shots and shot reverse shots help the audience understand threats to the woman's safety and life are in danger.
Break down of jaws
The woman runs into the ocean in a wide shot, showing the scenic beach backdrop as happy music plays. An underwater wide shot then shows the victim swimming as if the audience is watching her as a shark. She is captured by the shark and dragged around while appearing to laugh, confusing viewers. The gloomy, dark ending scene connotes death as darkness falls over the beach.
Preliminary task evaluation
As the camera woman, the respondent found the role difficult at times because they were responsible for ensuring all shots were clear and had a variety of angles, which meant informing the team if shots didn't work well and potentially receiving negative or positive responses. They enjoyed working with their creative and imaginative team who helped boost confidence and contributed ideas. Some small conflicts occurred due to differing visions, but the team was able to pull through obstacles with teamwork. Going forward, bringing new equipment could intensify shots and add tension to productions.
