The document discusses options for distributing an independent filmmaker's short film. As a new, unknown filmmaker, the best options would be distributing through small British companies like BBC Films or Film 4 that support up-and-coming UK filmmakers. Investors would see funding an unknown director as a gamble. For the filmmaker's opening scenes, they plan to post it on YouTube and social media and hold a screening for students at their sixth form centre to help promote their work.

Question 3
Kaleidoscope Film Distribution would be a good company to distribute the film because they specialize in psychological thrillers like the one being discussed. While a larger company might ignore an unknown writer, Kaleidoscope tends to notice and support new talent. The film will likely appeal more to audiences in the UK since the actors and characters are British, but Americans also enjoy British dramas that offer a change from big Hollywood films. Due to its broad audience appeal across different social groups, marketing strategies like social media, teaser trailers, and TV/radio ads could be used to create buzz and engage viewers.

The student believes their thriller opening could be distributed by Film4 or The Weinstein Company. Film4 focuses on British films that are critically successful but not mainstream, and the student feels their British thriller genre fits that profile. The Weinstein Company is known for working with Quentin Tarantino, and the student's use of postmodern techniques may appeal to them. The student also created their own production company, Evil Twin Productions, to work with larger distributors. The student argues their thriller could appeal to a major Hollywood studio like The Weinstein Company as an English thriller in a genre dominated by American films. Their thriller follows the model of successful films like Se7en and Black Swan. The student sees potential for their thriller to
Task 3
Our film would be most likely to interest smaller British distribution companies like Curzon Artificial Eye, as major studios tend to focus on blockbusters and not independent films. Curzon Artificial Eye specializes in distributing British films and films with horror and thriller elements like ours.
The film would appeal to UK audiences because of its British cast and UK setting, and also to international audiences given the global popularity of the psychological thriller genre.
Some marketing strategies could include creating social media pages, a film trailer, and submitting the film to film festivals like the Edinburgh International Film Festival to generate interest. The film would be well suited to a Halloween release period alongside other horror films.
Question 3
The document discusses potential distribution options for a film called "Impercieveable". It suggests that Paramount would be a good fit as the distributor since they have distributed similar films in terms of genre. Specifically, films like "Shutter Island", "Shooter", and "Friday the 13th" that are tension thrillers with atmospheric scenes. The document also notes that the film's appeal would likely be limited to UK audiences due to its storyline, and proposes some possible marketing strategies like television advertising, bus ads, magazine posts, YouTube spots, and actor interviews if Paramount were to distribute.
Evaluation task 3
A film distribution company is responsible for marketing a film and setting its release dates and methods of exhibition. Warner Bros. is a major distributor that releases big-budget blockbusters like Harry Potter and The Hobbit. Icon Film Distribution is an independent UK distributor that has generated over £150 million for films ranging from mainstream to specialty titles. The document discusses that the film discussed would be better suited to an independent distributor because it has a low budget and British cultural themes that may not appeal to international or American audiences. Possible marketing strategies include using social media like Facebook and Twitter to cheaply create buzz and reach the target audience.
Distributores
Film distribution is a competitive business that is important to the film industry. The distributor must promote each film starting from scratch by showcasing its potential and forgetting personal opinions. The document discusses distributing a UK-based film internationally. It believes the film could appeal in the UK and USA similarly to other successful films of that genre distributed by 20th Century Fox. To promote the film, it plans to use the BFI for distribution in raising funds for niche films, promote online, and release on DVD.
Task 3 - Distribution
The document discusses film distribution strategies. It defines distribution as sharing a film with an audience through a distributor. For their thriller film, they identify that Metrodome, a UK-based independent distributor, would be a good fit as the audience would be local and Metrodome could advertise and ship the film to British cinemas. Self-distribution is also considered but has disadvantages like being time-consuming and potentially limiting sales options without established buyer relationships.
Media presentation
1. Distribution is the process of getting a film shown in cinemas or art houses through distribution companies like Optimum or Fox Searchlight.
2. Optimum may be interested in distributing the film because it has classic thriller conventions but also twists the genre, and has a simple yet interesting plot about revenge that takes place in jails and cities.
3. The film could appeal to a worldwide audience, not just a UK one, since it has no distinctive British elements, so it could target American and European viewers as well.

Institutions powerpoint
Vertigo Films would be a suitable institution to distribute a thriller film opening sequence. As an independent film company founded in 2002, Vertigo Films specializes in producing commercially successful independent films across genres including thriller, romance, mystery and drama. They take risks by funding films through public involvement and innovative financing. Their produced thriller film Pusher received good reviews, indicating their audience's openness to the thriller genre. In contrast, other institutions like Pixar are aimed at younger audiences through films rated U or PG, so they would not be a good fit for a thriller targeting audiences aged 16-30.
Evaluation question 3
The document discusses different types of media institutions that distribute films, namely conglomerate studios like Time Warner and independent companies like Warp X. Conglomerate studios distribute big-budget films with recognizable stars to appeal to mass audiences globally, while independent companies distribute lower-budget, niche films. The document uses the examples of the thriller Se7en being distributed by a major studio due to its large budget and stars, and Donkey Punch being distributed by an independent studio with a smaller budget and national stars. It determines that an independent studio would be the best option to distribute the film "The Syndrome" due to its low budget and lack of famous actors.
Task 3 film distibution
This document discusses film distribution and potential options for distributing a psychological thriller film. It identifies several major film distribution companies like Newmarket Films, Kaleidoscope Film Distribution, and Disney Pictures. Newmarket or Kaleidoscope would be good fits given they have experience distributing similar genre films. Marketing strategies like releasing around Halloween and creating trailers and posters on social media are also discussed. Both UK and US distribution is recommended given the film's British setting and popularity of psychological thrillers in the US.
Task 3
This document discusses potential film distributors for a media product and why. It states that smaller British distributors can only distribute through online platforms like YouTube and websites, while films are initially shown in cinemas and later released on DVD and Blu-Ray. Paramount is mentioned as a possible major distributor since they have distributed similar films in the past. Distributing with Paramount would appeal to a wider global audience. Self-distribution is also discussed as an option that maintains full control but is very time-consuming without the relationships of a major distributor.
Evaluation 3
A production company would be the most appropriate media institution to distribute the film because they are responsible for the production, marketing, and distribution of films. Specifically, an independent UK-based film company like Film4 that distributes low-budget horror films would be a good fit. Larger studios like Universal Studios and Lionsgate that are not focused on independent films would not be suitable to distribute the film.
Evaluation 3
This document discusses potential strategies for distributing an independent British film on a small budget. It suggests appealing to distributors like Momentum or Film 4 who focus on growth over large revenues. It also recommends direct online promotion through sites like IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, Facebook, and YouTube to build an audience. Generating controversy around the film's portrayal of racism could attract significant interest and criticism, similar to Four Lions. Creating an official website and product tie-ins could further promote the film.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
This document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute an independent media product and why. It analyzes several distribution companies/labels including Film 4, Vertigo Films, DNA Films, and creating your own label called Pyramid Productions. While Film 4 may be too large, Vertigo Films and DNA Films are presented as more realistic options for small independent films. Creating your own label could allow for receiving all profits if successful but would be difficult to promote.
Presentation 3
This document compares the distribution options for a small, independent British film versus a large Hollywood blockbuster. Small British films typically have much smaller budgets of around £1 million that must cover both production and distribution. This makes it difficult for the film to get mainstream cinema releases or do widespread advertising. In contrast, large blockbuster films can have budgets over £100 million that allow for extensive market testing, early release date announcements, and hype-building previews and interviews. Hollywood films also benefit from backing by major media companies. Given its smaller budget and target niche audience, the discussed film in this document would be best served by distribution as a small British film rather than attempting a wide release as a blockbuster.
Task 3- Film Distribution
Distribution involves sharing a media product with an audience through various platforms. Major film distributors like Paramount Pictures distribute films in theaters, through DVD/Blu-Ray, and on streaming platforms like Netflix. They market films through trailers on YouTube and TV ads. Independent distributors may rely more on online platforms. The document discusses how the psychological thriller film "Evade" could potentially be distributed by Paramount Pictures or Fox Searchlight Pictures due to their experience distributing similar independent or British films.
Evaluation question 3
The document discusses the roles of production companies and film distributors. It notes that production companies are responsible for creating the film, handling budgets and scheduling, and finding actors and directors. Distributors promote and distribute completed films by determining how many copies to make and previewing films for buyers like cinema owners. The document then analyzes why major Hollywood studios like 20th Century Fox and Paramount would not be suitable to distribute a low-budget British production. It recommends that Film4 and Working Title would be better choices as distributors since they support lower-budget independent and British films.
Number 3
Twentieth Century Fox would be the ideal media institution to distribute our psychological thriller film. As a major Hollywood studio, Twentieth Century Fox has worldwide reach and experience distributing a wide variety of thriller genres. They are lacking in psychological thrillers, so our film could expand their catalog. Alternatively, their indie division Fox Searchlight Pictures specializes in independent and British films like ours and would provide access to both UK and international audiences.

Question 3
The document discusses potential distribution methods for a British thriller film with a low initial budget. It considers uploading scenes to YouTube to generate early publicity at low cost. Independent British film companies like the BFI and Microwave Scheme could provide funding and help the film reach its target audience while maintaining its identity. While larger studios like Paramount could ensure wider access, they may demand changes that affect the film's identity or claim a large share of profits. The best option is an independent UK company like Working Title, or generating buzz through film festivals to attract interest from potential distributors.
Task 3
Our film would be best distributed by Twentieth Century Fox, a major American production and distribution company known for thriller films like Star Wars, Alien, and Die Hard. As a large international company, Twentieth Century Fox could distribute our film worldwide to both American and UK audiences. Even if our film does not fit with their main productions, their subsidiary Fox Searchlight Pictures focuses on independent and British films like ours. Distributing with Twentieth Century Fox would help expand their thriller catalog and reach a wider audience for our film.

Lionsgate Films would be a suitable media institution to distribute our horror film. As a major film company that creates and distributes many horror films, Lionsgate would be interested in our film since it falls into their genre. While our low-budget British film may only appeal to UK and US audiences, Lionsgate has the international reach, especially in the US, to distribute it to those markets. Marketing strategies like social media promotion would be important to target our teen and young adult audience.
Film distribution in the uk
Film distribution in the UK is a competitive business with over 500 films released each year. Distributors must identify the largest possible audience for each film. In the crucial first weekend, distributors publicize films as much as possible since on average 30% of profits are made in the first 3 days. Factors considered for developing release plans include the target audience, competition from other films, and whether the film has big name stars that can draw audiences. Distribution methods range from wide "in cinemas everywhere" releases for blockbusters to more specialized launches in select cities for art films, with total distribution and promotion budgets varying greatly per film.
Evaluation Question 3
This document discusses various aspects of film production and distribution, including:
- Three major production companies (Universal Studios, Warner Bros Pictures, Lionsgate) that would be well-suited to fund the author's thriller film.
- Universal Studios would be the preferred studio choice due to their success producing top thriller films in 2012.
- 20th Century Fox would be a suitable distributor since they distributed the inspirational film "Taken".
- However, the large studios may not be receptive to funding an unknown producer so an independent company like Film 4 would be a better option.
- The BFI could also be approached for funding since they support British-themed films.

Distribution involves getting a film to audiences through deciding showtimes, locations, release dates, and marketing. Producers can directly distribute to theaters and home video themselves or work with a distribution company. The document discusses three potential distribution companies - Lionsgate, Warner Bros Pictures, and Rogue Pictures - that would be suitable for the author's psychological thriller film based on their past releases. Self-distribution is an option but would be very time-consuming, so the author prefers working with a distributor in order to earn back the film's high budget. Effective marketing strategies discussed include trailers, interviews, advertising, premier events, websites, and merchandise. The film will likely appeal to UK and US audiences given its English language and setting
Media institution
A film distribution company is responsible for marketing and releasing a film to audiences. It agrees to terms with studios and determines how many copies to release. It also obtains rights to distribute films through various formats like DVD and streaming. StudioCanal UK would be a suitable distributor for the film because it has experience distributing similar horror films. As an independent horror film, it would likely be released in theaters on Halloween and shown in independent cinema chains and festivals. The marketing strategy would include ads in cinemas, on streets, and promoting through social media and YouTube trailers.

Film Four, a UK-based television film channel, would be well-suited to distribute the psychological thriller film. Film Four has a reputation in the film industry and shows different genres on special nights each week. As the film is a thriller, showing it on Film Four's thriller night would boost marketing to their audience interested in that genre. Additionally, airing the new thriller "Possessed" on the same channel that shows classics like "The Exorcist" would allow audiences to compare the films and recognize the influences.
Media question2
The document analyzes potential film distribution companies for a new independent British movie with a young adult audience. Film4 Productions is identified as the best fit as it focuses on producing new British movies and has successfully distributed similar low-budget, independent films that launched careers of new talent. Examples are provided of how Film4 advertised locally to reach the target audience. Studio Canal is also mentioned as another potential option since it recently produced a film with comparable themes of a young couple learning about each other. However, major studios like Warner Bros. are deemed unsuitable given the small scale and specifically British themes of the new movie.
Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses potential film distribution options for the film "Fix Me". It considers both major Hollywood distribution companies like Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. that could widely distribute the film due to their marketing resources and experience with similar supernatural genres. It also discusses smaller, independent British distributors like Hammer Films that may be better suited due to a focus on similar film genres and a potentially better understanding of the British teenage target audience. Ultimately, the document concludes that an independent distributor coupled with online and social media marketing followed by a limited cinema release and availability on streaming platforms like Netflix would be the best strategy to effectively distribute the film.

Momentum Pictures would be a suitable media institution to distribute the film because they have a history of releasing similar drama/action films on low budgets of $1.5-7 million, which matches what the film could afford. Momentum also finds success with films that do not rely heavily on big name actors. Distributing with Momentum could attract more UK audiences as their films often feature British actors and they are a UK-based company.
Presentation2
A smaller distribution company like Warp Films would be more suitable than a major studio for my low-budget horror film. Warp Films focuses on culturally significant, niche films instead of large blockbusters. They have successfully distributed modestly budgeted horror films like 28 Days Later that found audiences through compelling stories and characters. My film would appeal most to 18-25 year old males, a targeted demographic suited for a smaller company rather than a major studio seeking mass market hits. Warp Film's model of investing in low-budget cultural films makes them the best choice to distribute my project.

Warp Films focuses on culturally significant, niche films instead of large blockbusters. They have successfully distributed modestly budgeted horror films like 28 Days Later that found audiences through compelling stories and characters. My film would appeal to a specific target age and gender demographic, as is common for the horror genre, making it a niche product rather than mass market. A smaller company is more likely to take on a low-budget, specialized film.
Evaluation presentation media
Film 4 would be the most suitable media institution to distribute the film. As an independent British film made on a small budget, it would best fit the profile of films typically distributed by Film 4 rather than larger studios. Film 4 has experience distributing similar small, independent British films that achieved success, such as The Inbetweeners Movie. While other potential distributors like BBC Films or Entertainment Film Distributors may also be good fits and have advantages, Film 4 is a more realistic choice given the scale of the film and Film 4's track record of marketing and finding audiences for comparable films.
Media eval task3
The document discusses different options for distributing a media product. It describes various types of distributors, from large Hollywood studios to independent distributors specialized in particular genres. For a psychological thriller film like the one discussed, the document suggests an independent distributor like Stage 6 Films would be a good fit, as they distribute 10-15 low-budget films per year within that genre. Self-distribution is also discussed but noted as a difficult and risky option, so the document concludes an independent distributor combining various marketing strategies would be the best approach to reach the intended target audience.
Media eval task3
The document discusses different options for distributing an independent film project. It describes various film distribution companies and strategies. Based on the genre of the student's psychological thriller film project, an appropriate distribution partner would be Stage 6 Films, an independent company that specializes in low-budget films. Stage 6 distributes 10-15 films per year, making it a good fit for an independent student project. Marketing strategies like film festivals, posters, and social media could help get the film noticed by its target audience. Overall, an independent distributor is recommended over self-distribution due to the distributor's experience and resources.
Question 3
Film 4 would be a suitable media institution to distribute the author's drama/action film because they have previously distributed similar British genre films like "A Very British Gangster." The author researched Film 4 and found they focus on distributing non-Hollywood blockbuster films for younger audiences. Another potential option is a website that advertises both independent films and major Hollywood productions from large studios to promote a wide range of films.
Question 3
Film 4 would be a suitable media institution to distribute the author's drama/action film because they have previously distributed similar British films like "A Very British Gangster". Film 4 focuses on distributing films with younger audiences and does not concentrate on Hollywood blockbusters. Another potential option is a website that advertises both its own films and major Hollywood productions from large studios, to gain broader exposure.
Evaluation activity 3 (1)
A production company is responsible for creating a film through budgeting, scheduling, scripting, casting, and more. They find directors and actors and are responsible for any issues during filming, like injuries.
A distributor's role is to promote and distribute the finished film to audiences. They determine the release date and strategy for promoting the film through previews, advertising, and releasing copies to cinemas and for home viewing.
The filmmakers' project would be eligible for funding from the UK Film Council and BFI Film Fund as it is a British independent production with a UK cast and crew. Film4 would be a suitable distribution partner as they focus on similar lower-budget British independent films.

It also notes that institutions can fund film projects by agreeing to back directors' or producers' pitches. The document then examines specific popular UK institutions like the BBC, UK Film Council, Vertigo Films, and Film4 that have distributed films like "Last Resort," "This is England," and "Half Nelson." It provides details on the goals and practices of each institution in identifying and supporting new filmmakers and projects.

Question 3
Vertigo Films would be the best institution to distribute my thriller film. Vertigo has a wide genre range, has successfully distributed similar low-budget films, and their website would help promote the film to interested audiences. Social media also needs to be incorporated into the distribution plan to target my intended audience, though illegal downloads are a risk and the film would need to be monitored online.
Evaluation 3
The document discusses potential media institutions to distribute the author's film. The author identifies BBC and Channel 4 as options because they have channels like BBC Three and Film 4 that broadcast similar films. Film 4 would be an ideal choice as it has a large, general audience of various demographics and only distributes films, like the author's thriller film. The author's film would also be a good fit for Film 4 and BBC as they have successfully distributed similar films in the past with unknown actors, like the ones featured in the author's film.
Creative Critical Reflection Question 3: Engagement And Distribution
The document discusses identifying the target audience and distribution strategies for short films. It identifies the target audience for the author's short film as British males and females aged 18-45 who enjoy thriller and crime drama films. It considers different distribution companies like Warp Films, Verve Pictures, and Vertigo Films. It also discusses modern distribution methods like streaming on Netflix, YouTube marketing, and the importance of a clear target audience profile for effective distribution.

Question 3
- 2. Examples of production companies: UK USA
- 3. Media institutions The kind of media institution that might distribute my film would be a small British company like BBC films or Film 4. This is because I am a small independent film maker who is very new to the industry and completely unknown The BBC films and film 4 are known for supporting new, up and coming film makers from the UK.
- 4. Investors As I am a new film maker, investors will be taking a gamble if they agreed to distribute my film as they would not know if the film will make any profit If I was a well known and well respected director like Christopher Nolan or Steven Spielberg. One of the Big 6 studios and their distributors would definitely want to distribute my film as the risk of not making any money would be very small
- 5. Funding I could apply for funding on a scheme like the “microwave” scheme or from an institution like the BFI to help develop my film and help to get it to audiences
- 6. Screening In reality I have made the opening few minutes of a thriller film and so I am not going to be distributing it like a finished feature film To distribute the film that I have produced this year, I am going to post it on Youtube, link it to my Twitter and Facebook account to try and make sure as many people see it as possible I am also going to hold a screening of it in my sixth form centre to show it to students that are not in my media course.
