Our film would be best distributed by an independent film company, as it is a crime drama genre film targeted at a niche audience interested in that genre. Independent films like Fargo that appealed to crime drama fans were able to profit despite a smaller audience. Larger distribution companies like Paramount Pictures also distribute crime drama films, and would be a good fit for our UK-based crime drama film as they have a UK distribution arm and appeal to younger audiences with films like crime dramas and Jack Reacher.

StudioCanal would be a good production company for the film based on similarities to Catch Me Daddy. StudioCanal produces a variety of films from big budget comedies like Shaun of the Dead to low budget British dramas like Catch Me Daddy. Catch Me Daddy was similarly low budget, socially realistic, and was successfully marketed and distributed through film festivals. Other options like Vertigo and Altitude could also work but StudioCanal is best suited due to previous similar films and Catch Me Daddy's success.
Evaluation Question 2
This is my answer to the Evaluation Question relating to production distribution and audience consumption.
Evaluation 3
The document evaluates several major film distribution companies as potential partners to distribute the author's horror slasher film. Universal Studios and 20th Century Fox are ruled out because they have not had much success distributing horror slasher films. Paramount Pictures is excluded because it has not distributed films similar in genre to the author's. New Line Cinema is selected because it has extensive experience and success distributing horror slasher films like A Nightmare on Elm Street, and it is owned by the very successful Warner Bros studio.
Question 3.
Metrodome would be the most suitable media institution to distribute the film One English Pound. One English Pound would be a low-budget British film with British actors telling the story of how ordinary people can fall into traps like alcoholism and prostitution, and how to prevent or reduce these issues. Metrodome has experience distributing similar films that follow characters through difficult life experiences and showing how they improve their lives. They also have a budget that would work for One English Pound, which does not require special effects, big-name actors, or expensive equipment.

Piper, a secret agent, must use her skills to save her kidnapped husband from Sergei while confined to her home. It reverses gender stereotypes with a strong female lead. The film is an independent thriller that the document's authors would want distributed by 20th Century Fox due to their success with similar action films like Taken. Their ideal cast includes Jason Statham as the villain Sergei, Rory Kinnear as the innocent husband John, and Natalie Portman as the heroic Piper. However, given the film's likely low budget, the preferred actual distributor would be Icon Films Distribution, a UK independent known for thriller, horror and mystery genres.
Evaluation: Question 3
New Line Cinema would be an ideal distributor for the film "Write of Passage" for several reasons:
1) New Line Cinema specializes in distributing mystery thriller films similar to the genre of "Write of Passage", which follows a teenage girl with split personality disorder who commits murders.
2) As a major film studio and distribution company founded in 1967, New Line Cinema has the resources and experience to finance, market, and promote the film through theatrical release and home viewing platforms.
3) New Line Cinema has previously distributed several highly successful mystery thriller films including the "Seven", "The Conjuring", and "Final Destination" franchises that would appeal to the same target audience as "Write

Evaluation task 3
The document discusses distribution strategies for a student film. It defines distribution as how a film is marketed and made available to audiences. It notes that bigger distribution companies include 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros, while smaller independent companies that might be suitable include Metrodome and Independent Distribution. The student's film is a drama/comedy, so Metrodome would likely be interested since they deal with similar genres. The film could have wider appeal beyond the UK since it has American teen drama themes but British features that would seem out of place in America. Marketing strategies proposed include a summer release date, trailers, posters, TV ads, possible promotion from Coca-Cola, interviews, premieres, and social media.

Vertigo Films would be the best company to distribute the movie Caleidoscopio. As a small, low-budget British film company, Vertigo Films could fund and produce Caleidoscopio for around $500,000, which matches its limited budget. Vertigo Films focuses on international sales that could build a large global fan base for Caleidoscopio. They also have experience distributing similar thriller/horror films with unknown actors shot on simple locations rather than flashy Hollywood productions, which is the best fit for Caleidoscopio's niche psychological thriller genre and production means.

The document discusses film distribution and recommends Vertigo Films as a suitable distributor for a short, independent horror film. It explains that a film distributor is responsible for marketing a film and lists the top 10 UK independent film distributors in 2013. While major studios like Warner Bros. and Lionsgate distribute big-budget horror films, Vertigo Films, as a growing intermediate UK company, would be more appropriate for a short, independent horror film without an extensive editing budget.
Media Distributors
Our low-budget British psychological thriller film would likely be distributed by a small independent film distribution company rather than a major Hollywood studio. Some potential options are Vertigo Films, DNA Films, and Film 4, which specialize in distributing smaller, independent films from non-professional filmmakers. DNA Films in particular seems well-suited as they have experience distributing similar low-budget, dark genre films like thrillers and our film's psychological thriller genre aligns with the types of films they distribute.

Kaleidoscope Film Distribution in London distributes documentaries and special events films but may not be suitable for a psychological thriller.

This document discusses film distribution options. It explains that a distributor purchases rights to a film and shows it to buyers to get it in front of audiences. Major distributors like Warner Bros. and Universal typically distribute big-budget films they produce themselves. Independent distributors like IFC Films and Revolver handle more niche films, often discovered at festivals. The document suggests an independently produced LGBTQ film about a transgender girl would likely be picked up by an independent distributor like IFC Films, which has a section for LGBTQ films, or potentially a streaming service going forward as they expand into distribution. It would aim to be shown at festivals to attract distributors seeking such independent niche films.

New Line Cinema would be the most suitable media institution to distribute my horror/thriller film product. As a subsidiary of major studio Warner Bros, New Line Cinema would provide sufficient financing and worldwide distribution to maximize publicity and revenue. New Line Cinema has a track record of successfully distributing similar horror films like The Conjuring series that relate to the paranormal plot of my product.

Film distribution is the process of making a movie available to an audience. A distributor decides which elements will attract an audience, what type of audience it will appeal to, and how to maximize the number of viewers. Major distributors include 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate, and Paramount Pictures UK, while independent options are Altitude Film Distribution, Metrodome Distribution Group, and Network Releasing. Our film would likely be distributed by Warner Bros., part of one of the "Big Six" major studios, due to its similarities to films like Inception. It will primarily appeal to a British audience given its language, storyline about a married businessman who suffered abuse, and characters.
Women's Bane Distribution PowerPoint
Lionsgate would be a suitable distributor for the film "Women's Bane" for several reasons:
1) Lionsgate has successfully distributed similar thriller/horror genre films on budgets ranging from $1.2 million to $30 million.
2) At a budget of $40 million, Lionsgate would be able to finance "Women's Bane" whereas an independent distributor could not.
3) Lionsgate has had blockbuster successes with R-rated thriller films like the "Saw" series and "American Psycho" that share similarities to "Women's Bane," suggesting they could successfully distribute this film as well.
Evaluation Question 3
Warner Brothers would be an ideal distributor for the film because it is a fully integrated global entertainment company that distributes films across theaters, home video, and digital platforms. Warner Brothers has a long history of distributing superhero films like Batman, about a billionaire who takes on the identity of a masked vigilante to save his city from evil forces, which is similar in theme and genre to the film about a boy who was abducted and fights his way to escape.

Touchstone Pictures and Columbia Pictures would both be suitable media institutions to distribute the film. Touchstone Pictures has had success distributing similar films like Armageddon and Enemy of the State, which involved disaster/environmental themes and genres like government agents/conspiracy that relate to the film. Columbia Pictures is a large global company that distributes both blockbusters and alternative films, and films like Salt and The Da Vinci Code that were similar in genre became very successful. Overall, Touchstone Pictures would be the best choice as a smaller company more appealing for a non-blockbuster, alternative thriller.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Lionsgate would be the best distribution company for the filmmaker's psychological thriller "The Final Chapter". Lionsgate specializes in distributing thriller and horror films, like the similar film "Gone Girl". As an independent film distributor, Lionsgate would partner with the filmmaker and be easier to negotiate with than a large conglomerate. The filmmaker would also have more input into how their film is distributed. Lionsgate is well established, reliable, and has a history of successfully distributing films that go on to be box office hits. As a major independent film company, Lionsgate could also distribute "The Final Chapter" internationally.

Universal Pictures would be a suitable distributor for the film "Heist Girls" for three key reasons:
1) Universal has experience distributing similar films involving armed robberies, hostage situations, and fast-paced escapes (such as Public Enemies).
2) While Universal distributes some action-comedy films, like Central Intelligence, there is still a gap in the market for films that combine action conventions with comedy.
3) "Heist Girls" has the potential to appeal to both action film fans and comedy fans, increasing its audience and box office earnings. Combining genres in this way could make "Heist Girls" a success for Universal.

This document discusses self-determined learning (heutagogy), an evolution in learning theory where learners take control of their own learning. It notes that humans are inherently conservative and irrational, with mental models that can obstruct change. However, humans are also self-determining agents whose unconscious minds control most behaviors. Heutagogy focuses on learner exploration, experience, hypothesis generation, collaboration, and developing research skills to facilitate deep, self-directed learning. The role of educators is to provide resources and flexibility while empowering learners to design their own learning process and content.

Flipped assessment
The document discusses current issues with assessment in higher education and proposes alternatives for the 21st century. It argues that higher education focuses too much on summative assessment like essays and exams that test memorization of facts rather than higher-order skills. A new approach is needed that focuses on formative assessment of skills like problem solving, analysis, and reflection. The document proposes "flipped assessment" where students are assessed on their ability to research and prepare for collaborative problem solving in flipped classrooms, rather than through traditional summative exams.
Sat chatcuratedconversation
This document summarizes a discussion on heutagogy, or self-determined learning. Heutagogy focuses on facilitating the learning process rather than dictating content. The learning leader observes students and changes their approach based on students' emerging questions. While curriculum provides a framework, it must evolve with students' interests. Heutagogy is informed by constructsivism and recognizes learning as non-linear and individualized. It emphasizes reflection, collaboration, and developing research skills. While heutagogy shows promise, applying it broadly in education faces challenges due to conservative tendencies that favor traditional teaching methods.
Audience profiling
The target audience for this media product would primarily be male students aged 15-22, as the film contains an unpleasant scene involving a female victim that may put off some female and feminist viewers. Most of the audience would be on a low income as students, relying on pocket money from parents, grants, or retail jobs, so they would prefer to wait for cheaper viewing options like DVD or on-demand rather than seeing it in theaters. The audience would also mostly be of black ethnicity, as the film prominently features black representations, and would watch films either monthly if living at home or every 3-4 months if at university and focusing on education costs first.

The learning leader
This document lists several traits and abilities that are important for leadership, including the capacity to deal with ambiguity, foster engagement, learn, and use open systems thinking. It also emphasizes traits like openness to experience, interpersonal effectiveness, empathy, optimism, flexibility, and the ability to motivate, share knowledge, foster collaborative learning, and empower others. Overall, the key leadership qualities highlighted are the ability to learn, motivate others, adapt to changing situations, and empower teams through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning.
Principles of heutagogy
The principles of heutagogy involve making the learner a partner in designing their own learning process and content. The curriculum should be flexible to allow exploration of new questions and understanding, and learning is recognized as non-linear and individualized. Assessment is flexible or negotiated, and learners contextualize concepts while using experiential learning techniques in a collaborative environment that facilitates reflection and metacognition.
How humans learn
The document outlines evidence related to how humans learn and develop memory. It notes that experience shapes the brain differently for each person and that brains are influenced by culture and environment. Learning involves effort, occurs in small chunks, and is enhanced through personalization, sharing information with others, and multi-sensory experiences linked with emotion. Repetition, gaining attention initially, and learning in an enriched environment also impact the learning process.
Keynote address about Heutagogy to New Zealand National Tertiary Learning and...
This document discusses the concept of heutagogy, which is self-determined learning led by the learner. It provides evidence on how humans learn best, such as learning in small chunks, learning through immersion, and emotions being linked to learning. It suggests that with heutagogy, the learner would be involved in designing their own curriculum based on their needs and interests. The teacher acts more as a coach to help facilitate the learner's goals and questions. Real learning occurs through constructivist and experience-based methods that engage the learner's emotions.

Some key principles of heutagogy are that it involves learners in designing their own learning process and content, uses a flexible curriculum, provides many resources for exploration, and values informal and collaborative learning. The document advocates applying these heutagogy principles to ensure deep and effective learning.

Heutagogy is a learner-centered approach where learners determine their own learning needs, processes, and desired outcomes. It is influenced by humanism, constructivism, neuroscience, and complexity theory. Traditional educational systems are based on models from the industrial revolution and do not reflect how the brain works. Evidence shows learning is enhanced through effort, multi-sensory experiences, curiosity, emotion, resolving incongruity, and brain plasticity. Heutagogy involves deep learner engagement, flexible curricula, learner-generated contexts, negotiated assessment, and coaching models. It applies to online learning and allows for self-directed, reflective learning throughout life.
Self-determined learning
- The document discusses the concept of heutagogy, which is defined as self-determined learning. It originated from the idea that people are naturally very efficient learners and current education systems do not fully utilize this.
- Heutagogy is based on humanism and constructivism, which emphasize the learner being at the center of the educational experience. It draws from theories like andragogy and focuses on the learner determining the process and taking control of their own learning.
- Recent advances in neuroscience have provided new insights into how learning occurs in the brain, which challenges traditional definitions of learning that focus more on knowledge acquisition than cognitive processes. Understanding brain plasticity and how neuronal pathways are formed supports a model

3 Which Media Institute would distribute your product and why?
Our independent British film "Obsession" would likely be distributed by Working Title, a major British production company known for films appealing to both British and wider audiences. Alternatively, ScreenGems or Rainforest Films could distribute to reach broader audiences. Working Title has successfully distributed films with similar themes of relationships and emotions, while ScreenGems and Rainforest Films focus on genres aligned with our film and target audiences that could connect with its cast and themes. As an independent film, our lower budget also means lower risk if the film does not perform as well as hoped.

Columbia Pictures would be a good media institution to distribute the romantic comedy film "Two Faced" for three key reasons:
1) Columbia Pictures releases a variety of genres, including many successful romantic comedies.
2) They have released highly profitable blockbuster films that appeal to wide audiences, similar to the intended audience for "Two Faced".
3) Their financial resources could help fund "Two Faced" and allow it to be shot on location in cities like New York, enhancing the romantic mood of the film.

A film distributor is responsible for marketing and distributing a film. They set the release date and choose how the film will be exhibited or made available for viewing, such as in cinemas or on DVD. Multinational distributors have larger budgets to distribute and promote films nationally or worldwide, while independent distributors have limited local promotion budgets. Left Films and Hammer Films are suggested as potential distributors for the filmmaker's slasher film because they specialize in low-budget horror and thriller genres. Film4 Productions is also proposed as they have successfully distributed similar films without any current competing titles.

Left Films would be a suitable distributor for the film as they specialize in distributing low-budget horror and thriller films, including slasher films similar to the one being proposed. Hammer Films and Film 4 Productions could also effectively distribute the film given their experience producing successful horror films and willingness to work with lower budgets. Both companies have audiences interested in the thriller/horror genre and would help attract new viewers.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
This document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a low-budget independent UK film called "The Echoing." It analyzes several options, including independent UK distributors like Optimum Releasing and Revolver Entertainment, as well as larger studios. It determines that Optimum Releasing or Revolver Entertainment would be the most suitable choices, as they specialize in independent films and UK-only distribution, which matches the film's limited scope and budget. Bigger studios aiming for worldwide tentpole releases are deemed unsuitable due to their higher costs and ambitions beyond the film's means.
Task3
Lionsgate UK or Verve Pictures would be good options to distribute the film "Charlotte" because they specialize in distributing low-budget, independent British films in the thriller genre. Lionsgate has experience with horror and thriller films like "Cabin in the Woods" and the "Saw" franchise. Verve Pictures is distributing a new thriller called "Freeze Frame" in June, so they may be interested in "Charlotte" as well since it has a similar style to their other films.
Question 3 as media evaluation
The document discusses potential film distributors for an action/thriller film. It analyzes several major distributors like Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures, as well as some independent British distributors. It determines that Lionsgate Entertainment would be the most suitable choice, as it specializes in action films like The Transporter trilogy and The Hunger Games. Distributing the film through Lionsgate could benefit both the film and the company by appealing to action film fans and filling a gap in Lionsgate's portfolio with a thriller genre film.
Evaluation question three
This document discusses potential distributors for an independent horror film made on a low budget with local actors. It analyzes how two potential distributors, StudioCanalUK and Lions Gate Entertainment, would be suitable options. StudioCanalUK releases many independent British films and has distributed similar horror films. Lions Gate Entertainment is a successful North American independent film company that has distributed a wide variety of genres, including horror films. Both companies' experience with independent and genre films could help distribute and promote the film.
Evaluation Question 3
Hammer Films would be a suitable distributor as they regularly produce similar thriller and horror genres. However, as a British institution, Hammer Films may not provide broad international recognition. 20th Century Fox would be a better choice as a major American studio that distributes globally. They have experience with thriller films and their recognizable logo would signal that the product is worth watching. Disney would not be a good fit as they focus on family-friendly content, whereas thrillers are not family oriented.
Question 3
Entertainment Film Distributors would be the most suitable company to distribute my film. As a British distributor of independent films in the UK and Ireland, they specialize in backing newcomers and low-budget films. They have distributed several romantic comedies, the genre of my film, including Run Fatboy Run, 17 Again, and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Their experience distributing popular romantic comedies in this genre would help ensure wide exposure for my film. Other companies like Momentum Pictures and Artificial Eye were less suitable - Momentum does not work with many low-budget projects and Artificial Eye focuses on art house and foreign films instead of my genre.
Evaluation Question 3 ASMedia
The document discusses three potential media institutions for distributing a new horror film opening: 20th Century Fox, Hammer Productions, and Lionsgate. Hammer Productions is summarized as the best choice because it exclusively focuses on the horror genre, is more likely to take on an independent filmmaker's project, and has experience appealing to younger audiences. Lionsgate would be the second choice and 20th Century Fox the third, as their main audiences are older or focused on other genres.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The document discusses film distribution and different film distribution companies. It examines the distributors of the films "Psycho," "Silence of the Lambs," and "Insidious" - Paramount Pictures, Orion Pictures, and FilmDistrict respectively. The document also discusses several British film distributors like Artificial Eye, Entertainment, and Lionsgate UK. It recommends that for a small, independent British film, Lionsgate UK would be the best distributor as they specialize in horror films similar to the proposed media product.
What Kind of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product and Why?
The document discusses potential film distribution companies for a low-budget horror/thriller opening sequence. It analyzes companies that have distributed similar films like Unfriended and Friend Request. While conglomerates like Warner Bros and Universal Pictures would be unlikely due to the low budget, an independent UK company like Icon Productions would be a good fit. Icon specializes in horror films and is one of the leading independent distributors in the UK, which could help the opening sequence gain publicity among a UK audience.
Evaluation question 3
This document discusses how a film institution called Hammer Films would be suitable for distributing the author's thriller film. Hammer Films specializes in horror and thriller genres, distributing successful films like "The Woman in Black" and cult classics like the 1958 "Dracula" film. Distributing the author's supernatural thriller through Hammer Films could attract the target audience of young people interested in horror and thrillers. Hammer's existing fan base and experience with similar films suggests they could successfully market and build an audience for the author's new film.
Question 3
ODEON Cinema would be the most suitable cinema to distribute the filmmakers' thriller "The Unseeable" for several reasons:
1) ODEON mainly shows thrillers and films with a 15+ age rating that would appeal to the film's target teenage audience.
2) ODEON's lower ticket prices relative to independent cinemas like Cinema City make it more appealing to the film's target demographic of students.
3) Cinema City shows more art house and indie films that don't fit the big budget thriller genre or trendy nature of "The Unseeable".
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The document discusses film distribution and the factors a distributor considers when deciding how to distribute a film. It describes the film being summarized as a low-budget British mystery thriller targeting audiences aged 15-40 interested in the genre. As the film has a niche crime/thriller audience without major stars, it would be distributed by a small British company like Vertigo Films or Film 4 rather than a large Hollywood studio. These small independent distributors focus on low-budget, niche films without major star power.
Question 3
Vestron Pictures would be a suitable distributor for the author's thriller film. Vestron previously distributed similar low-budget films like Parents that had comparable themes and genres to the author's thriller. They have experience distributing films with first-time directors. Now owned by Lionsgate, Vestron could utilize Lionsgate's successful marketing techniques, such as incorporating real blood into print advertisements for Saw III, to promote the author's film. Vestron targets teenage to young adult audiences, which matches the target audience for the author's thriller. Their partnership with Lionsgate could help the author's film find wider success.
Insitution
The document discusses which media institution would be best to distribute an independent romantic comedy film. It suggests that Film4, a British independent film distributor, would be the best option. Film4 produces and broadcasts alternative films and has theme nights with similar genres that would appeal to the target audience. Although independent, Film4 also shows blockbuster films, which could attract viewers. It also moved from pay TV to free-to-air, allowing wider free access to independent and blockbuster films.
Question 2 final
The document discusses the target audience and distribution options for an independent romantic comedy film. The target audience is identified as being ages 15-20, with a potential preference for female viewers given the male lead. Major distribution companies like Universal and Warner Bros. release large studio films, while independent companies like IFC Films and Film4 specialize in smaller, independent films. The document concludes that Entertainment Film Distributors would be the most suitable independent distributor given their experience distributing similar low-budget, independent romantic comedies.
Question 3
Film production companies that specialize in horror films, like Lionsgate Films and Hammer Films, would be best suited to distribute the media product. These companies have experience and focus on the horror genre, understanding how to efficiently produce and distribute horror films. While larger companies may provide a wider initial audience, there is no guarantee they would fully exploit the film's potential. Independent horror film companies would give the media product attention and focus to help ensure its success, even if it means starting with a smaller audience.
