Monsters powerpoint
Vertigo Films exploited technology in the production, marketing, and distribution of 'Monsters' in several ways. They shot the film entirely in HD using compact, inexpensive camera equipment, allowing for a cinematic quality on a small budget. They conducted a viral online marketing campaign around the film's UK release. They also made the film available to watch online and through video on demand the same day as its cinema release, speeding up distribution and increasing profits.
Exhibition and Trends
The document discusses various aspects of film exhibition and distribution. It describes how films progress from theatrical release in cinemas to subsequent releases on home video formats, pay TV, and free to air television.

Film distribution companies are responsible for identifying large audiences for films and launching them into the marketplace through promotional marketing campaigns. They negotiate agreements with exhibitors to show films in cinemas and distribute prints to theaters.

Their role is to generate buzz and interest in new films.
Evaluation – question 2
This document discusses different types of media institutions that could distribute a media product and why. It analyzes large institutions like Warner Bros, Disney, and Universal Studios that have huge budgets and widespread marketing and distribution capabilities. It also discusses smaller independent companies like Working Title Films and Bedlam Productions that have more limited budgets. The document concludes that for a large-scale thriller film, Universal Studios would be the best choice due to its large budget, successful history distributing thrillers like Psycho, and potential for huge profits.
Netflix Company Report
This document provides a company report on Netflix. It details Netflix's market capitalization of $43.047 billion and $6.78 billion in revenue for 2015. The report outlines Netflix's history from its founding in 1997 to launching in over 130 countries in 2015. It discusses Netflix's strengths as addictive content, aggressive international expansion, and use of user data. Competition and a strong global user base position Netflix for long term success.
Distribution
A film distributor is responsible for marketing a film and arranging for it to be shown in cinemas and on television and digital services. The distributor promotes the film and finds appropriate exhibition outlets to get as many viewers as possible. Distribution is important for a film to earn a profit. For large studio films, the distributor is often affiliated with the production company, while independent films must find a distributor to help finance and promote the film. The distributor handles getting necessary ratings, arranging showings globally, providing prints of the film, and conducting marketing campaigns.
Distribution.
The document discusses the distribution of the 2014 British film '71. It was produced with financing from several British film organizations. As a low-budget film, Warp Films benefited from technological convergence which allowed for cheaper production and easier distribution across multiple platforms. Their collaboration with Film4 on the distribution provided additional financial support to overcome challenges of their low budget. Vertical integration, where a company owns different parts of the production process, can help reduce costs but relying on outside vendors also has advantages depending on the situation.

Warp films
Warp Films is an independent film distribution company based in Sheffield and London that would be well-suited to distribute a low-budget 5 minute film, as they have experience distributing smaller scale and lower budget films like Four Lions and Submarine, grossing almost a quarter million in its opening weekend on 60 screens.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
An independent film distribution company like Disney or Warner Bros would be best suited to distribute the film because they have the large marketing resources needed to ensure the film reaches theaters, even though the film is low budget. Additionally, the film would be shown at art house cinemas like RichMix in London, which feature independent and diverse films not typically shown at major multiplexes, since as an independent film it could not reach a wide audience or afford major marketing. Promotion would rely heavily on word-of-mouth and social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter to advertise with the limited budget.
Warp films presentation
Warp Films is an independent British film company established in 1989 by record label Warp Records. As an independent studio, Warp Films has small budgets and focuses on low-budget, unique films. It collaborates with other larger studios for resources and distribution. While independence allows Warp Films creative freedom, it also limits resources for effects, actors, and distribution. However, technological advances have helped independent films reach wider audiences through various devices and platforms.
Evaluation question 3
This document discusses potential options for distributing a horror/thriller film produced by the author. It analyzes several major distribution companies like Lionsgate and Film4 Productions and concludes they may not be the best fit due to the independent and low-budget nature of the film. It also discusses the possibility of using film funding companies like Creative England and the British Film Institute to fund production and self-distribution. Overall, the author determines that seeking production funding and self-distributing may be the best approach to ensure a profitable outcome, though success cannot be guaranteed. They ultimately created their own distribution company called "J&M Productions" to include in the film's opening ident.

Task 3 presentation
A film distribution company that might distribute our crime thriller film is Kaleidoscope Film Distribution (KFD). KFD focuses on thriller genres and has released similar films to ours. As an independent company based in London, KFD is likely to be reasonably priced and help appeal our British film to a UK audience. Self-distributing through a program like 4-Wall Select could also allow us to retain full control and profits, showing the film in their New York theater for a guaranteed week.
Question 3
Warp Films is a local Sheffield production company that focuses on thought-provoking stories over special effects, which fits the film's emphasis on characters. However, Warp Films' audiences differ and distribution through an exterior company could reduce profits. Working Title is owned by Universal and has larger budgets up to £35 million, allowing more creative freedom and possibly better actors/effects. As a subsidiary of Universal, Working Title also handles its own distribution. However, Working Title prioritizes passion projects that are riskier, so the film may not be made or delayed.
Question 3
Film4 would be the best media institution to distribute the thriller film "TARGET" for three main reasons:
1. Film4 is a successful British film production company that has won numerous awards like 5 Oscars in 4 years and 3 BAFTAs in 2007, which would help attract the target audience.
2. As an established company, Film4 has wide audience recognition already, which could decrease advertising costs for the low-budget "TARGET" film.
3. Film4 is known to work with and support new filmmakers, providing the infrastructure and guidance needed to help expand their projects, which the "TARGET" filmmakers would benefit from.

New Line Cinema would be the best distributor for the media product. As a sub-unit of Warner Bros., New Line Cinema can attract both mainstream and independent audiences to maximize the potential viewer base. They manage many aspects of distribution internally, and also benefit from Warner Bros.' promotion. While not one of the highest-earning distributors, New Line Cinema's experience with horror genres suits the media product, and their promotion abilities outweigh the risk of lower profits compared to larger distributors.

Question 3
This document discusses several potential film distribution organizations for a small, low-budget horror film project. It suggests that Working Title or Warp Films/Film4 could distribute the project given their experience with smaller films. It also notes that The Hunt for Gollum distributed their micro-budget film online through social media sites like Facebook and Twitter as well as YouTube and Independent Online Cinema, suggesting this could work for the project. Overall it analyzes options for distributing a small horror film to niche audiences on a limited budget.
Evaluation task 3
New Line Cinema would be a suitable company to distribute the film because it has successfully distributed similar romantic drama films like The Notebook. The Notebook grossed $115.6 million worldwide in cinemas and continues to earn profits from DVD sales, so the filmmakers could be confident that their film would find similar success through New Line Cinema. However, as the film lacks big name actors, an independent film company like Film 4 may be better, as it showcases British independent films and uses its TV and online channels to advertise specific film showings, premieres and boost viewership, helping to launch the film without major Hollywood connections.
What kind of media institution might distribute your
Working Title Films would be more suitable than Paramount Pictures for distributing our thriller film Flash due to Working Title's focus on British films and talent as well as their ability to work with smaller budgets. While Working Title has fewer resources for marketing than Paramount, their connections could help the film find audiences in the UK and beyond. Self-distribution is also an option but comes with challenges around marketing, legal issues, and audience reach.
Question 3
Working Title could distribute the film as they produce small budget horror films and prefer working with new talent to reach wider audiences. Warp Films and Film4 similarly focus on niche audiences through smaller releases. They would be suitable distributors as they work on low budgets. The Hunt for Gollum used very little funding and was distributed online through social media and sites like YouTube to target 16-28 year olds, which could also work for this project.
Eq3
Warp Films and Film 4 Productions would have distributed and co-produced the media product. They specialize in independent, low-budget social realism films and have a history of successful collaborations. Pathe would have distributed the film. The film would have been released in arthouse cinemas and marketed through social media and word-of-mouth to attract its niche audience.
The film industry today jtw key terms
The major studios dominate film production, distribution, and exhibition through vertical and horizontal integration within large media conglomerates. They produce and distribute big-budget blockbusters to mass audiences. Independent studios produce and distribute smaller, art house films but many are being acquired by the majors. The majors exploit multiple distribution windows and use cross-promotional synergies to maximize profits from successful films. They widely release films through multiplex theaters and spend heavily on marketing. Independents struggle to access distribution and exhibition and rely on film festivals and word-of-mouth for success.
British Independent Film Company - Warp Films
Warp Films is an independent film production company based in Sheffield and London that has produced notable films such as This is England and Four Lions. The company focuses on lower-budget films than Hollywood and targets niche audiences through genres like social realism. Warp Films relies on partnerships with other companies to fund, produce, distribute and exhibit its films.
Evaluation question three
Cloud Eight Films would be a good choice to distribute the filmmaker's opening sequence because:
1) They are the filmmaker's production company so they know the film well and understand the vision trying to be achieved.
2) They have experience distributing similar low-budget, gritty British films that would appeal to the target 20-40 year old audience.
3) While they don't have experience with thrillers specifically, they would enjoy the challenge and promoting the film to a wide audience. Their past experience working with larger distributors could also help provide a well-rounded distribution strategy.
British Independent Film Companies - Warp Films
Here are some key differences in the production processes and technical specifications between an independent British film like 'This is England' and a major Hollywood blockbuster:
- Budget: 'This is England' had a much smaller budget of £1.5 million compared to tens or hundreds of millions for a blockbuster. This impacts the scale and scope of production.
- Crew/Cast: A blockbuster would have a much larger crew and be able to afford A-list Hollywood stars. 'This is England' likely had a smaller, independent crew and cast unknown actors.
- Technology: A blockbuster would utilize the best and latest cameras, lenses, film/digital formats for high production values. 'This is England' probably used
Evaluation q.3
Warner Bros would be the best company to globally distribute the thriller film because:
1) As a global company, Warner Bros could distribute the film worldwide, allowing international audiences to engage with the worldwide plot of a viral threat.
2) Warner Bros has experience and knowledge distributing successful thrillers, increasing the chances of creating a legitimate thriller.
3) As a subsidiary of Time Warner conglomerate, the film could later be broadcast on TV and released on DVD/Blu-ray, expanding its audience reach.
4) Private investment from Time Warner means a big budget for high production/distribution quality, allowing use of professional cameras and casting well-known actors.

This document considers options for distributing a new thriller film. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using large Hollywood studios or independent film companies. While studios offer name recognition and distribution networks, they demand a large share of profits and may not appreciate the film's identity. Independent UK company Warp Films is proposed as a good choice since it has successfully distributed identity-focused films before and would preserve the thriller's British character while still gaining cinema exposure. Overall Warp Films is judged to best balance the risks and rewards of distribution.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Possible distributors
- 1. Possible Distributors Research into independent film distributors for our group film ‘The Next Target’.
- 2. • Gravitas Ventures is an all rights independent film distributor, this company releases via theaters and On Demand. Due to increased consuming and the proliferation of technology, Gravitas has the ability to release a film in over a billion homes worldwide, having the ability to connect filmmakers and producers with consumers through hundreds of media platforms. Gravitas was one of the first companies to develop a global network of digital media platforms and now has relationships with many of the key providers of cable video on demand VOD being one of them. Nolan Gallagher founded Gravitas Ventures in 2006 . Nolan believed that Gravitas could ‘build a bridge between filmmakers and consumer friendly technology offerings 'The company releases over 400 new films annually. As technology advances and new distribution opportunities arise, Gravitas follows this to provide to audiences worldwide. Films which this company has distributed are ‘The Doll’2017 ‘ The unraveling’2017 and ‘Gilbert’2017. The companies base, in Cleveland
- 3. Why Choose • A24 would suit our movie, being independent, it would be a cheaper option as appose to a bigger distributor for Hollywood movies such as Time Warner. A24 is suitable as it doesn't own any subsidiaries and is a small company to work with, making budget able and effective. It tends to differ from the rest, specialising in all areas of filming alongside distributing, showing a professional outcome as the founders all have experience and the company has began to become quite well known, meaning our film will perhaps be viewed more frequently. • Gravitas Ventures seems to provide many opportunities for our film. This company seems to be a modern company, having matched the advances in technology, constantly searching for new opportunities in film, releasing to a variety of platforms and reaching a wide audience. This is an independent film distributor, again matching our film, being independent. This company doesn't seem to provide as much experience as A24, as it only specialises in one area of distributing, rather than all processes of film. However this may be an advantage as we are searching for specifically just a distributor, as we are producing the film ourselves. This company tends to reach a wider global audience, meaning our product would have more of an advantage to reach a larger potential.
