Marketing & Distribution
Marketing is the process of promoting a product to increase sales by making the public aware and meeting customer needs and wants. Distribution makes a product available to customers by moving it through a chain from manufacturer to retailer to consumer. Modern marketing often uses social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube due to their wide reach and lower costs.

It finds that setting/location is the most important factor in an action movie, while lighting is the least important. Trailers are the most enticing factor for viewers in watching a movie. When asked about preferred subgenres within action, half of respondents chose comedy and a quarter chose adventure. The majority of 85% felt the filmmakers' plot was a good idea. Intense music was the most popular choice for action movies.
Levi strauss
Levi-Strauss developed the binary opposition theory which states that all narratives can be broken down into opposing pairs such as good vs evil, strong vs weak. He believed meaning is constructed through these binary opposites. Binary opposition analysis examines the opposing forces in a text and how they reinforce each other and create meaning. Strauss realized that words act as symbols representing societal ideas and meanings come from relationships between opposing concepts rather than fixed definitions.
Risk assessment
The document identifies four risks associated with filming a movie scene: 1) getting into an accident with a car while filming near a road, 2) getting scratched or stung while hiding in a bush, 3) restricting an actor's breathing by tying a scarf too tightly around their mouth, and 4) the lighting becoming too hot and burning the person controlling the lights. For each risk, it explains why it is a risk and provides a way to prevent or mitigate the risk.
Evaluation
The document evaluates the improvements made between the initial draft and final edit of an opening scene for a film. It notes that the quality, lighting, softness of shots, actors, shaky camera, and shots had significantly improved. This allowed them to learn new skills and better understand how to produce a professional, high-quality opening scene that engages viewers. Comparative images demonstrate improvements like clearer views of actors' faces and expressions, better lighting, and smoother shots from using a tripod. The document concludes that the final footage is of good quality and contains edits designed to make the video more attractive to audiences.

Evaluation 3
Columbia Pictures, The UK Film Council, and Vertigo Films are all media institutions that could potentially distribute a film product. Columbia Pictures is a major American film studio that has backed over 1000 films, including comedies like Bad Teacher. The UK Film Council (no longer operating) was a public body that funded over 900 British films to develop the UK film industry and attract global audiences. Vertigo Films is a British production and distribution company founded in 2002 that has produced films like Bronson and Monster and aims to produce and distribute four films per year.
Task 3
This document discusses distribution and marketing strategies for a psychological thriller film set in London. It defines distribution as making a film available for audiences and generating buzz through promotion. It notes that Lions Gate Entertainment would be a good independent distributor as it has successfully distributed similar films. The film would likely appeal most to UK audiences given its British setting and characters, but possibly also others interested in British culture. Suggested marketing strategies include ads on buses, trains, bus stops, billboards, social media, TV, and trailers in cinemas showing similar genres.
Media insti
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
task 3
This document discusses film distribution and provides examples of distribution companies. It defines distribution as making a film available for audiences and generating awareness through marketing. It describes 20th Century Fox and Lions Gate Entertainment as major distributors, with 20th Century Fox distributing big blockbusters and Lions Gate focusing more on independent films. The document proposes Lions Gate as the best choice to distribute the author's psychological thriller film targeting UK audiences, since Lions Gate has experience with similar lower-budget British films. Suggested marketing strategies include billboards, buses, social media, and TV ads on specific channels to reach the target audience.
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.
Evaluation: Question 3
This document discusses potential film distributors and recommends BBC Films and MGM. It notes that BBC Films produces and co-produces successful British films that align with its mission to inform, educate and entertain viewers. MGM is a large distributor commonly used for spy films, making it a good fit for the document's British spy film featuring modern portrayals of women and ethnic groups. BBC Films and MGM would help distribute the film internationally while reflecting its cultural themes.
Distribution powerpoint
1) Distribution involves a company handling the marketing and release of a film in cinemas and on DVD/Blu-ray, as well as decisions around online/TV distribution.
2) Several major film studios like 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros are described as examples of distribution companies.
3) Self-distribution is considered as it allows a filmmaker to keep all box office profits and get their film seen without relying on other distributors. However, it requires marketing and releasing the film independently.
Evaluation Question 3
This document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a romantic comedy film called "Unrequited Love". It identifies several options: LoveLife Productions (the film's own production house), Working Title Films (a major UK production company), Universal Studios (Working Title's parent company that could provide international distribution), Universal Music Group (for the soundtrack), iTunes (to sell the soundtrack), Netflix/LoveFilm (for online streaming), YouTube (for trailers and clips), Vevo (to promote the soundtrack on YouTube), and Sky Movies (for television premiere). These institutions would help finance production, market the film, and expand its audience through cinema showings, home media, streaming, and television broadcast.
Media presentatioopn
The document evaluates potential media institutions to distribute a film. Film4 is discussed as a suitable option as it produces a variety of genres, including thrillers, and would get the film recognized in the UK. Metradome is also mentioned as a realistic option for up-and-coming producers as it produces films in a cost-effective manner across all genres. Hammer Films, based in London with US distribution ties, could benefit the film given its history of popular horror films and international distribution. However, distributing via social media or targeting specific audiences through unconventional advertising may also be considered.

Task 3 film distribution
Film distribution involves making movies available for audiences to view through various methods. Major film distribution companies like Warner Bros distribute films to movie theaters, home media formats like DVDs and Blu-Rays, and streaming services. While self-distribution gives filmmakers full control over their work, it is also a time-consuming process that requires marketing the film, filling out paperwork, and establishing sales without the resources of a large distributor. Lionsgate is an example of a company that distributed the low-budget horror film Heartless through both theatrical release and home media.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media products and why?
The document discusses film distribution and which media institutions might distribute a horror media production. It analyzes the distributors of films like Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, and Insidious - mainly American companies like Paramount Pictures and Orion Pictures. It also looks at British distributors like Artificial Eye, Entertainment, and Lionsgate UK, concluding that Lionsgate UK would be the best choice as it specializes in horror films. Distributing the media production first in movie theaters would generate publicity and interest before releasing it on DVD, online, and television.
Evaluation Task 3
Icon Film Distribution would be most likely to produce the filmmakers' thriller based on what they have created so far. As an independent UK film distributor that has produced over 200 films, including low-budget titles like Paranormal Activity, Icon supports original films from inexperienced directors. Similarly, 20th Century Fox could potentially produce the film as a full-length movie, as the proposed thriller shares conventions and elements with Fox titles like Alien that feature strong female protagonists and suspense. The filmmakers analyze why both studios might be interested in their idea based on their experience and openness to independent productions.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Entertainment Film Distributors would be the most suitable distribution company for the filmmaker's low-budget supernatural horror film. EFD specializes in distributing independent British films and has experience with horror genres like Saw and The Final Destination. They could help the film reach a large audience without a huge budget. StudioCanal UK and EFD both work with small British productions, but EFD may require less money to distribute and promote the film using social media.

- Working Title produces films for both UK and US audiences. Before being acquired by Universal, Working Title only produced films for the UK market.
- Marketing is important for a film's success. Techniques used include trailers, posters, celebrity appearances, and red carpet premieres. However, films generally have more marketing success and higher budgets in the US compared to the UK.
Evaluation question 3
The document discusses several film production and distribution companies including Relativity Media, Rogue Pictures, and Working Title Films. It also discusses options for distributing an independent film such as through the internet or film festivals. Finally, it notes that partnering with an established production company could help get an independent thriller film global distribution and funding for future productions through their marketing resources and established reputation.
Evaluation question 3
Relativity Media is a film production and distribution company founded in 2004 that specializes in thriller films such as Limitless, Safe Haven, and Out of the Furnace. Rogue Pictures is a subsidiary of Relativity Media that has produced around 25 films since being founded in 1997. Working Title Films is one of the world's leading film production companies, co-chaired by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner since 1992. It has produced over 100 films that have grossed nearly $6 billion worldwide and won 10 Academy Awards.
Distribution
This document discusses film distribution strategies, focusing on independent films. It explains that distribution involves releasing films in the marketplace and marketing them locally. For independent films, producers typically do not have long-term ties to distributors. The document recommends Momentum Pictures as a potential UK distributor and discusses simultaneous streaming/cinema releases as an option. It also explores releasing the film on streaming services like Netflix or television channels like Sky Movies.

How Does The Music Industry Operate?
The music industry involves the process of creating, recording, and selling music made by various artists. It includes musicians, producers, artists, distributors, advertisers, and technicians. There are various music genres like pop, rap, jazz, rock, dance, and R&B. Record labels sign artists and help promote their music and albums. Music is recorded, videos are produced, and the songs are marketed and released. Profits depend on sales. Streaming has increased while purchases have decreased, impacting industry profits. The industry has adapted by focusing on tours, merchandise, and creative marketing. Reaching audiences now involves sharing videos on YouTube and social media like Facebook and Twitter.
Action Plan
The document outlines a plan for creating a digipak cover for a love song. It will feature a mid-shot photograph of the singer on the front to portray the artist's emotions and represent that artists experience the same feelings as ordinary people. Mid-shots of the actor will also be used when photographing for ancillary tasks, as they show facial expressions and body language to give insight into the music. Photographs will be taken on September 28th when filming the music video, since the actor will already be in costume and hair and the sunny weather will improve shot quality and save time.
Questionnaire Results Analysis
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire about music video viewing habits. It found that most people watch music videos on their phone/iPod and online. Respondents said this is because mobile devices allow easy, anytime access to choose what music to watch. When making their own music video, the group will upload it to YouTube so it can be viewed on mobile. The questionnaire also found that camera shots and the setting were the most important technical aspects for music videos. Representations of gender in videos were seen as mostly positive but other factors like age, ethnicity and disability were seen as both positive and negative depending in the video. An effective narrative was also deemed important for a music video to be understandable, realistic, relatable
Ellie Goulding Analysis
The music video for "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding features several locations including a mansion and parking lot. It shows Ellie Goulding wandering the mansion and dancing with a man, intercut with scenes from Fifty Shades of Grey. The video uses low-key lighting to create a romantic atmosphere and costumes to contrast Ellie in black versus the woman in pink. It effectively syncs the visuals to the music and lyrics through techniques like montage and pacing shots with the music. The video promotes the Fifty Shades of Grey movie soundtrack through integrated scenes and narrative elements.
Action Plan Week 5
The action plan for week 5 includes continuing textual analysis and trying to finish it as Zaneta has a shortage of time, starting to think about questions and prepare the final version by the end of the week as assigned to Simran, and uploading any more completed work to their blogs.

This action plan outlines tasks for week 2 of a project reviewing music videos. On Monday, the plan is to begin analyzing the first of four music videos and link relevant music video theory. On Tuesday, the analysis of the first video will continue and permission will be requested to use the final song. Thursday tasks include starting analysis of the second video in a different program than the first and presenting the findings. Friday focuses on continuing the second analysis and considering creative presentation methods for the third video analysis.
Andrew Goodwin Music Theory
- Music videos are essentially advertisements that ignore common narrative structures and allow viewers to create their own meanings from songs.
- Goodwin believed music videos work best when artists perform or act out roles in the videos to make the story seem more realistic and increase authenticity, helping audiences connect with the song.
- There are three main ways videos promote songs: illustrating lyrics, repeatedly amplifying meanings, or creating disjuncture by ignoring the song's meaning.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Media Evaluation
- 2. A media institution is a company, either public or privately owned who produce and/ or distribute media products. I believe that there are a range of media institutions that would distribute our product, such as: ◦ 20 Century Fox ◦ Sky ◦ Columbia Pictures ◦ Youtube
- 3. 20th Century Fox 20th Century Fox is an American film studio that was formed on May 31st, 1935 by William Fox. This media institution has distributed many films and TV programmes: ◦ X-Men ◦ Die Hard ◦ Alvin & The Chipmunks ◦ Star Wars ◦ Avatar ◦ The Simpsons ◦ How I Met Your Mother I believe this will be a great company who would distribute our product as they are a large, well known organisation and have distributed action/ adventure films which is the genre for our opening scene.
- 4. Sky is also another institution that provides television, internet and telephone services to consumers in the UK. They distribute many films, TV programmes and music of all different genres to the public. Sky would distribute our product on their movie channels as they are a trusted company, and most of the films that get released in cinemas then get distributed by the Sky institution. Almost everyone is aware of the company and they have a good reputation around the UK. Sky
- 5. Columbia Pictures is another American film studio who produced and distributed films such as: ◦ Spider Man ◦ Smurfs ◦ Ghostbusters ◦ 21 Jump Street ◦ Bad Boys I consider that Columbia Pictures would distribute our product because they are one of the eight major film studio in the United States, therefore most people will recognise the company and audiences may be enticed into watching the film as the company has distributed many successful films. Columbia Pictures
- 6. YouTube is an institution that was founded in February 2005 and it allows billions of people across the world to discover, watch and share originally created videos, trailers and even movies. Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals who have a passion in creating videos, however there are some media corporations such as: CBS, Vevo and the BBC who present their material via YouTube as an advertising technique. This will be a great way to distribute our product, due to the fact that almost everyone uses YouTube and are familiar with it, and people become aware of movies via YouTube by seeing their trailers as advertisement before their actual video that they have searched for comes up. YouTube
- 7. By distributing our product on these media institutions our opening scene will become familiar with people around the world, it will become successful and will entice users into watching the full movie when it is releases in cinemas.
