In contrast, independent films are produced outside major studios with smaller budgets. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was produced by Color Force with a $130-140 million budget and earned $865 million worldwide through Lionsgate and other major distributors. Kidulthood was independently produced by Stealth Films in the UK on a £600,000 budget and earned £1.5 million in box office returns through the independent distributor Revolver Entertainment.

Independent cinema research
This document discusses the key aspects of independent cinema production, distribution and exhibition. It provides details on the different stages of production including development, packaging, pre-production, principle photography and post-production. It also discusses distribution through DVD, online platforms and television, as well as exhibition in theaters. Independent cinema is defined as films receiving less than 50% funding from major studios and being lower budget with more artistic focus. Mainstream cinema refers to blockbuster films funded by major studios. Examples are provided of both independent and mainstream films and their production, distribution and exhibition pathways.
Question 3
StudioCanal UK would be a suitable distributor for the film "Dirty Riches" for three key reasons:
1) StudioCanal UK specializes in releasing British films, which is relevant as the film's target audience is in the UK.
2) It is an independent distributor, which would make negotiating a deal easier as an independent production company.
3) While it is a smaller distributor than major studios, the film has a national UK focus so StudioCanal's reach would be sufficient.
Evaluation- Question 3
The document discusses potential media institutions to distribute a film. It analyzes Hammer, a British production company focused on thriller and horror genres like their film. While a good fit, Hammer has a niche audience in Britain only. Universal is discussed next, a wider distributor of mainstream, worldwide films like Jurassic World. Universal would help the film make more profit globally. In the end, the document decides to use both Hammer, for British audiences, and Warner Brothers, a worldwide distributor of films like Dark Knight Rises, to help the film succeed in Britain and worldwide.

The two main types of cinemas in the UK are multiplexes and independent cinemas. Multiplexes first arrived in the UK in the 1980s and were largely situated outside of towns. They were able to show a wide variety of films from different studios. Independent cinemas are typically smaller and show foreign, independent, and experimental films in renovated buildings. They offer a different experience compared to multiplexes.
Question 3
The document discusses potential media institutions to distribute a psychological horror film. It analyzes Xlrator Media, Warner Bros., Hammer, and Universal Studios. Universal Studios is selected because it is a well-known production company that specializes in horror films, though it has not recently distributed many psychological horror films specifically. Choosing Universal Studios over companies known for psychological horror allows the film to stand out.

Horror Trailer Institution Research
The document compares four film production companies - Blumhouse Productions, Hammer Productions, Lionsgate, and Universal Pictures - in terms of their experience in the horror genre and suitability for distributing an upcoming horror film trailer. Blumhouse is noted for its low-budget, profitable model and experiential events. Hammer Productions has a long history in horror and understands how to appeal to target audiences. Lionsgate has experience reaching younger audiences with teen-centered horror. Universal Pictures has a legacy in horror dating back to the 1920s-60s that still attracts audiences today.
Type of media institution
The document discusses three potential media companies to distribute a new media product:
Twisted Pictures is an American horror film production company known for the Saw films, but they are based in the US which does not suit the target British market.
Universal Studios is one of the major Hollywood studios that has produced legendary horror films but is also American-based and not suitable for a British audience.
Hammer Film Productions is a well-known UK-based film brand responsible for Gothic horror films and The Woman in Black. They would be very suited to distribute the media product as they specialize in horror and are based in the UK, the intended market.
Exhbition and synergy ppt 2011
The document discusses film exhibition in the UK. It explains that exhibition involves films being shown in cinemas as well as through various ancillary markets like VOD, DVD, streaming, and TV. The arrival of multiplex cinemas in the UK in 1985 disrupted the market by offering more screens and choice but also caused many small independent cinemas to close. Major film studios and exhibitors practice synergy by coordinating the release of a film across multiple platforms like movies, merchandise, and games to maximize profits.

An institution distributes media products to audiences and releases films into cinemas nationally or internationally before distributing them on DVD or as soundtracks. Institutions also fund films by pitching ideas to producers and directors. The document discusses targeting institutions like Film4, Warp Films, and LionsgateTelevision to distribute a social realism film called Homicidia, as those companies have experience with that genre from shows like This is England and Orange is the New Black.
Question III
Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Dreamworks are potential media institutions to distribute the film. Universal Pictures has a proven track record of successful global distribution over 100 years. 20th Century Fox has found great success distributing films with similar target audiences. Dreamworks is a good fit as it is known for films with young actors and a more contemporary style that matches the genre of the film.
AS Revision Powerpoint
Ben Wheatley directed the 2011 film A Field in England, which follows a group of deserters who are forced to help an alchemist, O'Neil, search for treasure in an overgrown field during the English Civil War. While crossing a mushroom circle for food, the group descends into chaos, fighting, and paranoia as it becomes clear the treasure may not be gold. The film was produced by Claire Jones and Andy Starke through Rook Films and written by Wheatley and Amy Jump.
Distribution
The document discusses several UK film distribution companies:
- Hammer Film Productions, known for Gothic horror films from the 1950s-1970s with low budgets but lavish sets.
- Dogwoof Pictures distributes documentaries and foreign films in the UK.
- The UK Film Council was set up in 2000 to develop and promote the UK film industry using National Lottery funds.
- Revolver Entertainment is a UK marketing and distribution company that has released films in various genres, including thrillers.
The most appropriate distributors for the low-budget UK film "Paperchain" would be the UK Film Council, to promote the domestic film industry, or Revolver Entertainment given their experience with similar genres.
Distribution and exhibition
The document discusses film distribution and exhibition. It notes that major studios are vertically integrated media conglomerates that dominate the film industry. It also discusses how major studios distribute their own films both domestically and internationally, controlling a large percentage of box office revenues. The document outlines various distribution windows studios use to continue generating revenue from successful films through things like DVD/Blu-ray, TV, downloads, soundtracks, merchandising and more. It also discusses how conglomerates use synergy across their businesses and how marketing budgets for major studio films now often exceed production costs.
Distribution
Here are the answers to the questions:
1. The 'big six' distributors (Warner Bros Pictures, United International Pictures (Paramount), 20th Century Fox, Buena Vista (Walt Disney), Columbia Tristar Pictures, Universal) dominate around 90% of the UK cinema box office market in any given year.
2. It is important that distributors ensure timely delivery of films because cinemas spend money publicising film play-dates and times, so there is an imperative for the distributor to deliver the film on time.
3. A 35mm film print typically costs around £1,000, or twice that if subtitled.
4. A feature film print will usually
Task 3
Distribution involves delivering a completed media product to audiences through various channels like DVD, television, streaming, and merchandise. Some major film distributors are 21st Century Fox, DreamWorks, Paramount Pictures, Sony, and Disney/Pixar, which could deliver a film based on its genre and similarity to the distributor's past successful titles. The document considers whether the sample film would appeal only to UK audiences or have wider global appeal, as well as potential marketing strategies and release options.
Research into Horror Institutions
The document compares four institutions involved in the horror genre - Blumhouse Productions, Hammer Productions, Lionsgate, and Universal. It analyzes the work each has produced previously and how they might be suitable partners for distributing the author's horror film trailer. Blumhouse is noted for its low-budget, high-quality films and live events. Hammer Productions has experience and prestige in both classic and modern horror. Lionsgate has successfully targeted younger audiences and distributed controversial films. Universal has a long history in horror and a loyal built-in audience due to its classic monsters.
Media q3
This document discusses potential distributors and methods of distribution for a UK film made by a British company. It identifies FilmFour and Metrodome as two UK distributors that may be interested. It notes that digital projection in cinemas, online platforms like Netflix and LOVEFiLM, television channels, and DVDs are effective distribution methods that allow viewers to watch at home and attract different audiences than cinemas. It provides an example of a similar UK film distributed by Metrodome that was also released on Netflix, LOVEFiLM, and DVD.
Revision Tips
This document provides revision tips and information about institutions and audiences in media studies. It discusses synergy and cross-media convergence in the film industry using Vivendi Universal as an example. Technological convergence is also examined by looking at different devices that can be used to watch films such as smartphones, MP4 players, games consoles, laptops, and home cinema systems. An overview of the film production cycle is given including the stages of production, distribution, exhibition, and marketing. Examples of different types of films and studios in both the UK and US industries are analyzed.
Uk film distribution (1)
The document discusses UK film distribution. It explains that distributors must identify the largest possible audience for films among the 500+ annually released, and generate buzz to get audiences in the first weekend which accounts for 30% of box office earnings. The distribution process involves acquiring rights, screenwriting, filming, post-production, presenting to exhibitors, and delivering prints to cinemas. Distributors must consider competition, whether a film is a blockbuster or niche, and star power when planning release strategies like saturation or limited releases. Distribution costs can range from thousands to £4-5 million depending on elements like prints, advertising, and talent. Small distributors like Vertigo Films and Film 4 specialize in low budget British films.
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.
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.
Evaluation 3
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute, fund, and produce the film. It recommends:
- Using Twisted Pictures as the production company since they specialize in horror films like Saw.
- Partnering with Lionsgate Entertainment for distribution since they have successfully distributed similar horror films.
- Applying for funding from the UK Film Council's New Cinema Fund which supports new and innovative filmmaking.
- Modeling the film's budget, cast/crew size, and release strategy after low-budget horror films like Cabin Fever that were released theatrically and on DVD.
Type of media institution
The document discusses a horror film called "Die-ary" about an author who can kill people by writing their deaths in his diary. It was inspired by "Cabin in the Woods" and its use of horror tropes. Twisted Pictures and Universal Studios were considered to distribute the film but rejected due to being American companies. Hammer Film Productions was selected as the preferred distribution partner because it specializes in horror films, is based in the UK for the intended British audience, and has multiple platforms to publish and distribute the film.
Exam approaches and case studies
The document outlines key areas examined for media studies, including media institutions, audiences, and technology. It provides case studies of films to use as examples: an independent British film called "This is England"; the successful UK studio Working Title and its romantic comedies; and the big-budget US blockbusters "Star Trek" and "Avatar" produced by Paramount and 20th Century Fox respectively. Students are instructed to research additional case studies examining aspects of production, distribution, and exhibition/reception.

Teen culture involved going to the cinema and being exposed to new influences like sex and drugs through rock music.
1950 teen
The document summarizes teen culture in the 1950s. Teens were influenced by rock and roll music which brought a culture of rebellion.
