Our film is a gothic horror featuring a 19-year-old protagonist who is mourning her mother's death when the villain knocks her unconscious and buries her alive. She manages to escape but believes the villain is still after her. Two similar films are Kill Bill and Twilight, with Twilight also being a gothic horror about supernatural creatures.

developing/challenging codes of conventions
The document discusses conventions in horror movie trailers that were researched and how the media product challenges some of those conventions. It explores common elements like protagonists being heroes, antagonists often wearing masks and being older individuals. The media product challenges conventions by having an older protagonist rather than a young white male, and featuring a young female as the antagonist rather than an older villain.
Media institution presentation
The document discusses potential media institutions to distribute a horror film called "Die-Ary" about an author who can write about people's deaths. It analyzes several potential distributors: Universal Studios may provide more funding but want more control; Lionsgate aims for darker content but is based in America; Hammer Film Productions is a UK-based independent horror film company that would likely give the filmmakers more creative freedom to finish the film as they envision, making them the best choice to distribute "Die-Ary".
Question 3 done
The document discusses the potential distribution of a crime drama film by Paramount Pictures. It analyzes Paramount's successful distribution of films like Psycho, Rear Window, and Vertigo. More recently, Paramount only distributed the film Paranormal Activity after it gained online views, without contributing to production costs. The author concludes that partnering with Paramount could benefit distribution of their film, as the company is well-known and has experience with the crime drama genre through films and TV shows like Criminal Minds.
Question 3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media projec...
Momentum Pictures would be a good choice to distribute the filmmaker's movie project. Momentum is a large UK film distributor that releases around 20 films per year, supporting projects with varying budgets. They have experience distributing both independent and larger films globally. Momentum also frequently partners with other distributors to help films break into other markets like the US. Their past support of new directors and willingness to take risks on lower budget films from first-time filmmakers suggests they may be open to considering distributing the filmmaker's project as well.
Evaluation q3
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.

Evaluation question 3
The media product would likely be distributed by a film studio. The production company, DDNJ, would be responsible for the physical production of the thriller and for raising funds. DDNJ stands for the first letters of the group members' names. Production companies are responsible for film production and raising funding, then selling the product to a film studio or presenting it in theaters. A film distributor releases films to the public through theaters or home video, sometimes working through other distributors or exhibitors like Warner Bros. or Universal Studios. The funding for a film like this one would come from an independent production company like DDNJ, owned by a larger company, that deals with financial backing. The film would be produced by an

Production
Hammer House Productions is a production company established in 1934 that specializes in horror films. The creators decided to partner with Hammer House to produce their new horror trailer. They created Gunshot Productions as a subsidiary focused on gore and serial killer films. Gunshot Productions was later acquired by Hammer House in April 2013. For distribution, they chose Rogue Pictures, a subsidiary of Relativity Media known for distributing successful horror films such as "The Stranger" and "The Unborn".
Production companys
Dimension Films would be a good distributor for the film. Dimension Films specializes in distributing horror films, comedies, and action films. They have successfully distributed other slasher horror films like Scream and Halloween. Dimension Films is owned by The Weinstein Company and was formerly used to produce and release genre films for Bob Weinstein when he was at Miramax. New Line Cinema and Universal Pictures would also be good potential distributors as they have both had success distributing popular slasher horror films in the past. A major studio would be best to distribute the film in order to market it widely to its target young adult male audience.
Fast and furious 7 (1)
Fast and Furious 7 was the seventh installment in the Fast and Furious franchise directed by James Wan. It starred Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Dwayne Johnson continuing the story of Dominic Toretto and his crew facing off against the assassin Deckard Shaw seeking revenge. The film was in development when Paul Walker tragically died during filming, requiring extensive reworking of his character's storyline and use of CGI. It was a major commercial success grossing over $1.5 billion worldwide, serving as a tribute to Walker.
Institutional research
The document discusses four major film studios - Warner Bros, Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, and 20th Century Fox. It analyzes the types of films each studio is known for producing, particularly thriller films, and determines that Warner Bros and Paramount Pictures have been successful with thriller films in the past so would be good options to produce a new thriller film, while 20th Century Fox would be best for distribution.
Resident Evil case study
The Resident Evil franchise began as a popular video game series in 1996 and was adapted into a film series starting in 2002. The first Resident Evil movie was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starred Milla Jovovich and Eric Mabius. It was produced and distributed by several film companies and was marketed towards the existing fan base of the video game series. While the movie was financially successful, it received mixed reviews from critics who felt it lacked substance beyond style.
Question 3
Hammer Films would be well-suited to distribute the film because it is an independent horror film company that has distributed over 150 films worldwide, including well-known psychological horror titles. Hammer Films is synonymous with the horror genre and has a history of distributing similar psychological thriller films. Columbia Pictures could also distribute the film effectively given its wide global reach and reputation for distributing films across genres to all audiences, including psychological horror films aimed at young adults.
Audience Feedback Session
This document contains the presentation materials for a student media studies project on horror film trailers. It includes two potential story synopses, details on planned scare techniques, potential film titles, suggested filming locations, and links to example trailers to get audience feedback on effectiveness and how to improve a horror trailer.
Media evalution main task
The document evaluates the ways a media product develops conventions of real horror films. It notes that the horror film uses conventions like an early killing, killing the man instead of the woman, an unseen killer, and no attempts to escape. However, it also challenges conventions to bring variety and make the film different than others. The document also discusses that Dimension Films would be a suitable media institution to distribute the film, as they have successfully distributed many similar popular horror films in the past.
Types of film
The document discusses three different types of films:
1) Mainstream films like "Jackass: The Movie" which have large budgets, widespread advertising and promotion, and are shown in major movie theaters to appeal to a broad audience.
2) Independent films like "MacBeth" which have smaller budgets and are produced outside the major studio system with distribution from independent companies.
3) Niche films like "Paint Drying" which appeal to a very small, specialized audience and involve unconventional or unusual subject matter that most general audiences would not have interest in or patience for.
Develop or challenge conventions
The document discusses how the media product's trailer challenges conventions of the horror genre. It researched conventions like low-key lighting and isolation. It had low lighting in a hospital scene but also used gore. It challenged having a white antagonist by choosing a teenager. The trailer aimed to create realism by exposing the bloodied antagonist in a gown. It was influenced by revenge themes and had voiceovers to project messages. It challenged genres by having an older protagonist rather than the typical young white male, and having a young female as the vulnerable yet threatening antagonist.
Four Lions Case Study
Within the film 'Four Lions', a group of young British men become radicalized and aspire to become suicide bombers. They attend a terrorist training camp in Pakistan but it fails, so they gather materials in the UK to make improvised bombs with no clear target. They eventually plan to attack wearing mascot outfits but have doubts. When one bomb detonates, police try to shoot one member while another's bomb explodes after he is given the Heimlich maneuver. Later, one takes a kebab shop hostage before being raided by police. In the epilogue, Osama Bin Laden kills two members after a rocket misfires in Pakistan.
Taken
- The director of Taken was Pierre Morel and it was produced by Luc Besson's company Dune Entertainment. It was distributed by 20th Century Fox.
- The target audience was young adults who enjoy violent, thrilling movies. It was rated 15-18 due to strong drug themes.
- The genre is thriller and action adventure. It contains conventions of this genre like chase scenes, a protagonist vs antagonist, and fight scenes.
Inseption
1) Inception was directed by Christopher Nolan and produced by Emma Thomas for Warner Bros. Pictures.
2) The target audience was teens to adults due to its 12 rating and complex plotline that could confuse and intrigue viewers of all ages.
3) The film is a thriller genre, featuring conventions like a confusing plot, action scenes, protagonists versus antagonists, and a soundtrack building tension. It leaves the viewer questioning what happened at the end, like typical thrillers.
71
1. The film '71 follows a young British soldier who is abandoned by his unit in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1971 during violent riots. Alone and disoriented, he must survive the night and find safety.
2. It was produced by Crab Apple Films, Protagonist Pictures, and Warp Films with funding from the British Film Institute, Film4, Creative Scotland, and Screen Yorkshire.
3. The film had its premiere at the 2014 Berlin International Film Festival but did not do well at the box office, only making $2.9 million against its $8.1 million budget.
Evaluation question 2
Film 4 would likely distribute the horror product because they have a "Fright Night" program featuring scary films, making it a good fit. Twisted Pictures would also distribute it as one of the largest horror producers, known for films like SAW that influenced the product. Hammer Film is suggested due to being the top UK horror film distributor, though mainly from the 1950s-1970s, but still a well-known name in horror.

Finally, it discusses the original 1953 film "The War of the Worlds" and its 2005 remake, focusing on political factors. The document analyzes box office earnings, production budgets, distribution companies, and star power between the originals and remakes.
Researching film institutions
Warner Bros is a major film studio known for producing and distributing films across many genres, though it has found less success with thrillers. 20th Century Fox focuses more on comedy and family films. Universal Studios produces drama, romance and adventure films as well as some thrillers, but tends more toward action. Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment, its subsidiary, specialize in drama, romance and thrillers, with Summit being a smaller company better suited for lower budget films.

Institutional and film classification research
This document discusses several major film studios and their history in the horror genre. It summarizes Twisted Pictures as an American independent studio founded in 2004 known for the Saw films. Hammer Productions is identified as a UK studio founded in 1934 best known for Gothic horror films from the 1950s-1970s like Curse of Frankenstein and Dracula. Universal Studios is described as the oldest American studio still in production, founded in 1912 and distributing classic horror films like The Wolf Man. The document also briefly outlines 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate Films and the UK film classification ratings system.
Project Evaluation
The document discusses conventions used in the opening scene of a horror film project. It begins by outlining conventions incorporated from other horror films like The Shining, Scream, Saw, and The Blair Witch Project. Darkness, emptiness, innocent/mysterious protagonists and antagonists are used. Unsteady camera shots are also included to mimic the "home movie feel" of Blair Witch. The opening introduces the antagonist, builds suspense, and raises questions like other horror films. It represents males in the roles of both victims and killer, challenging typical female victim stereotypes. The intended audience is described as teenagers and young adults seeking thrills.
Eval task 3
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 III
Our film company YRS Entertainment created a psychological horror film titled "Opening Title Sequence" based on the manga Death Note. The film involves three college students where one student finds a notebook that can kill people by writing their names. This inspires one student, Jenny, to start killing criminals but her actions are stopped. Given the horror genre and inspiration from manga/Japanese films, potential distributors for our film include Adult Swim, Mad House Productions, Manga Entertainment, and A24. These companies specialize in distributing similar genre films and have experience with Japanese source material.
Evaluation question 3
The document discusses choosing Dark Castle Entertainment as the media institution to distribute the film. Dark Castle Entertainment specializes in psychological horror films, such as "Orphan", which inspired the filmmaker's storyline. They were chosen over larger studios because Dark Castle Entertainment only releases one or two horror films per year, allowing each film to be heavily promoted and earn more money through word-of-mouth advertising. Their association with the horror genre would help market the film as such.
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.

Screen Gems is also a subsidiary of a major studio, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and is known for thriller and horror movies like Underworld, Resident Evil, and Prom Night.

As one of the largest modern film franchises, Fox has experience producing across genres, including blockbusters like Avatar, Star Wars, Ice Age, and X-Men.
Evaluation Question 3
Film 4 Entertainment would be a suitable initial distributor for the independent British film as it would showcase British talent. The film would likely gain attention at film festivals which could then attract the interest of a major studio like 20th Century Fox, known for distributing thoughtful films based on real events. 20th Century Fox's global distribution would expose the film and its story of the infamous Milwaukee Cannibal to broad audiences worldwide.

The film "Cabin in the Woods" inspired the film's use of horror tropes like the jock, geek, stoner and innocent characters. While Twisted Pictures and Universal Studios would be suitable due to their horror films, they are American companies, so Hammer Film Productions is the best choice as a UK-based company that specializes in horror.
Evaluation q3
The document discusses potential film distribution companies for the student's low-budget British horror film project. The student analyzes Studio Canal and Universal Studios as options. Studio Canal previously distributed the similar low-budget British film "The Kill List", while Universal distributed the 2004 remake of "Dawn of the Dead", which also had female leads and a similar target audience. The student concludes that Studio Canal would be the better choice as it focuses on the UK market, limiting financial risk, and they could do their own social media marketing as a low-budget film.

Presentation on Production Company
- 2. Our film... Our main task is gothic horror and similarly in horror films, features a protagonist, 19 year old Ava Van Camp (main character) and an antagonist (villian). The storyline is of the main character mourning her mother's death in a graveyard when the villian knocks her unconscious and buries her alive. She then manages to get out and runs away, but can't help thinking that the antagonist is after her.
- 3. Other films like ours: These two films can be said to be similar to our main task mainly because they are based on horror. 'Kill Bill' was released on 2003-4 by Miramax Films and 'Twilight' distributed by Summit Entertainment on 2008. The film 'Twilight' is most like ours because it is on gothic horror, although Kill Bill has some aspects which are also similar, like the fact that they have someone buried alive by the antagonist. Twilight may not compare to our film though, as it features supernatural creatures. http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/movie-news/9-film-characters-who-were-buried-alive/ This is a link we have found that includes 9 movies since 1971 to 2004 that all have the idea of someone getting buried alive.
- 4. A potential production company... ...which could distribute our film. Summit Entertainment is an American film studio, headquartered in California with international offices in London. It was originally founded in 1991. It's initial aim was to handle film sales in foreign countries. It later expanded into producing and co- financing films in 1995, and started fully financing films by 1997. Some films they have distributed are: The Cold Light of Day, Step Up Revolution,
- 5. Why Summit? Summit Entertainment would be our ideal production company to distribute our film. One of the main reasons why is because they have distributed Twilight which has made them more popular among other production companies. After releasing Twilight, they have become well recognised and successful in distributing other films that aren't horror like 'The Perks of being a Wallflower' and 'Step Up 3D'.
