The american industry
The American film industry developed between 1895-1930 into an important popular medium. By 1930, it was dominated by big conglomerates that controlled vertical aspects of film production known as the big five studios. Now, major studios strike deals with independent production companies based on packages that include actors, genre, and script quality rather than long-term contracts. Blockbuster films are often released in summer and tend to be remakes, sequels, or based on existing properties to attract large, guaranteed audiences and maximize profits. The contemporary film industry is dominated by six major conglomerates that control around 90% of the North American market.

question 3 media evaluation
This document discusses options for distributing a thriller film. It considers using large conglomerate film companies in the US like Warner Brothers, New Line Cinema, and Paramount, which have global reach but may want to change aspects of the film. UK companies like Bedlam Productions, Between the Eyes, and Archer Street Films could keep the film's British identity but not have global distribution. Independent British companies could access lottery funding but films must meet criteria. The conclusion is that Between the Eyes would be the best choice as it has had success and influence to get the film recognized in UK cinemas while maintaining its British identity.
