Warp Films would likely distribute the media product. They specialize in social realism films and are based in the UK. Film 4 Productions would be a suitable production company as they have experience with the genre and have worked with Warp Films previously on successful projects. The film would be released independently with a focus on word-of-mouth and social media marketing due to the low budget. Screenings would be in select UK cinemas initially and expanded based on popularity.

Evaluation q3
An independent, low-budget British film about social issues would likely be distributed by smaller institutions targeting niche audiences, rather than mainstream channels. It would have a limited release in independent cinemas like Picturehouse theaters, rather than large chains. Specifically, the film discussed would plausibly premiere at CinemaCity in Norwich, as the film is set there, just as other locally-set films have premiered in their filming locations to attract local audiences interested in familiar settings. The film would also see distribution on DVD and streaming platforms to expand its audience beyond its theatrical run.
Media presentation
The media institutions that could distribute the author's media product are the BBC, Vertigo Films, Film Four, and the UK Film Council. The BBC produces many successful British independent films. Vertigo Films distributes commercially driven independent films and ensures projects appeal to audiences. Film Four showcases a wide range of international films from low budgets to niche audiences. The UK Film Council was established to develop the UK film industry through funding and promotion. Any of these institutions could help attract UK audiences and contribute to the popularity of the author's media product.
Question 3
StudioCanal UK would be a suitable distributor for the film "Dirty Riches" for three key reasons:
1) StudioCanal UK specializes in releasing British films, which is relevant as the film's target audience is in the UK.
2) It is an independent distributor, which would make negotiating a deal easier as an independent production company.
3) While it is a smaller distributor than major studios, the film has a national UK focus so StudioCanal's reach would be sufficient.

The UK Film Council backs over 900 films to support upcoming British directors and make the UK a global center for film. They partner with other organizations to fund low-budget films appealing to niche audiences. BBC Films, Vertigo Films, and Film Four similarly produce and distribute independent British films, with an emphasis on authenticity and developing new talent on limited budgets. These institutions would be suitable to distribute a new UK-based social realist film.

Institution research-Warner brothers by shahrain shah
Warner Bros. is a major American film studio and subsidiary of Time Warner. It was founded in 1923 by brothers Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack Warner. Some key points:
- Warner Bros. is a global leader in film and TV production and distribution, with subsidiaries that include Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Animation, and DC Entertainment.
- It has produced over 6,500 feature films and 3,000 TV shows. Some famous movies include The Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, the Harry Potter series and Batman films.
- In addition to production, Warner Bros. has worldwide distribution operations and home entertainment divisions that distribute its content
distribution
The film is a low-budget British film that will be digitally distributed by Altitude, an independent British film distribution company, because they have experience distributing similar films. Distribution of British films is difficult compared to Hollywood films due to Hollywood's larger budgets and fame. The film will be distributed online through Netflix, Amazon Prime, and video on demand to reach a worldwide audience and make money without a cinema release, as advertising will be done through social media pages.

The UK film industry has six main components: development, production, facilities, distribution, exhibition, and export. It is made up of production companies, distribution companies, and exhibition companies. In 2007, 516 films were released in the UK, a 58% increase over the prior decade. The three largest film studios are Universal Studios, 20th Century Fox, and Film4. Universal Studios is owned by Comcast, 20th Century Fox by 21st Century Fox, and Film4 by Channel Four Television Corporation.
Warner Bros. Digital Strategy
The Warner Bros. were founded in 1923 by four brothers and have become a global entertainment company producing films, TV shows, video games, and more. A proposed digital strategy would focus on social media like Twitter and Instagram to help audiences get to know the people behind Warner Bros. productions, internet marketing to promote content, and a mobile app to interact with fans and provide notifications of screenings. The $48,000 budget would be allocated across SEO, social media, email marketing, and content creation with the goal of turning viewers into loyal customers by engaging them online.
FUNTORO licensing
This document discusses obtaining a public performance license from MPLC to screen copyrighted movies on coaches and trains. MPLC has rights from major film studios including 20th Century Fox, Universal, Paramount, DreamWorks, and Disney. The procedure involves selecting available titles, placing an order, and receiving copies within a month. Annual licensing fees range from $10-30 per screen depending on the year. Individual title fees are €50 for standard and €100 for rare titles. A service fee of €75 applies per media drive. Licenses prohibit advertising performances, limit screens to listed vehicles, and forbid commercials or edits to received files. A certificate will be issued directly to the licensee.
Audiences and institutions
While Hollywood films dominate cinema chains globally, British independent films can now target national audiences more cost effectively due to digital filmmaking technologies. Cinemas prefer blockbuster films that guarantee large audiences and additional concession stand sales. However, a film like "The World's End" was able to appeal to both British and American audiences through its marketing campaign that played on the franchise of the previous two films in the trilogy and its portrayal of traditionally British themes and settings. The development of new technologies has lowered production costs and allowed independent films to better compete with major studio films.
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.
Distribution
The film "On Three" would be best distributed by small, independent cinemas and through niche film funding organizations due to its small budget, first-time director, lack of recognizable stars, and abstract topic. Organizations like the BFI Distribution Fund and National Lottery BBC Films could provide funding. The film would likely screen in independent London cinemas catering to niche audiences, rather than large chains. Low-cost social media marketing on YouTube and a viral photo scavenger hunt campaign could help promote the film alongside the director's website.
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.
Question 3
PictureHouse would be the most appropriate media institution to distribute the filmmakers' independent thriller film. PictureHouse specializes in distributing non-mainstream, independent films in the UK market, which matches the niche style of the filmmakers' project. Previous films distributed by PictureHouse, like The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Lobster, have been alternative yet successful, making PictureHouse a suitable choice. Exhibiting the film at CinemaCity, which is owned by PictureHouse, would reach the intended arthouse audience.

Task 3
Distribution involves delivering a completed media product to audiences through various channels like DVD, television, streaming, and merchandise. Some major film distributors are 21st Century Fox, DreamWorks, Paramount Pictures, Sony, and Disney/Pixar, which could deliver a film based on its genre and similarity to the distributor's past successful titles. The document considers whether the sample film would appeal only to UK audiences or have wider global appeal, as well as potential marketing strategies and release options.
Institutional decisions
Our production company is called Clockwork Productions. We chose this name because it sounds established like other major studios while also being short and catchy. For our logo, we designed a stylized image of clockwork in an old-fashioned style to represent our company's focus on quality work.
We will distribute our film The Dare Game through Revolver, a British distributor that has successfully released other thriller films targeting our intended audience.
The primary source of funding for The Dare Game will be a grant from the British film industry lottery fund, which supports new filmmakers. This funding source is the most suitable and ensures our film can be produced and distributed as planned.

Evaluation question 3: Renewed
Optimum Releasing would be a suitable distributor for the independent British thriller film. As an independent UK film company, Optimum specializes in distributing similar low-budget, British independent films and thrillers. They have had success distributing films with small budgets that appeal to younger audiences. Their marketing strategies, like using social media, would be a cost-effective way to promote the film to its target teen-adult demographic. Optimum also has experience distributing similar thriller genres to the one in the film, so they understand how to market and release that type of film.

Ealing Studios dominated the 1950s British film scene with popular comedies like The Ladykillers.

3. The Exorcist was controversial upon release for its portrayal of possession but its themes of good versus evil and its unsettling realism left even sceptics shaken. Some viewers had such extreme reactions that some cinemas banned it.

Training day scene analysis
The scene analyzes the poker scene from the film "Training Day" between two police officers. Cinematography is used to portray one officer, Alonzo, as more powerful through low camera angles, while the other officer, Jake, seems inferior through eye-level shots. As they walk through a gang-populated neighborhood, gang members are shown separately in shallow focus, making the officers seem unwelcome. Jake appears fearful as he turns to look at a gang member who comments, showing he feels less threatened than Alonzo. The director aims to make the audience worry for Jake's safety and connect with his character through the visual techniques.

In the 1940s, during World War 2, governments began funding the development of early computers like ENIAC to help with weapons development and calculations. The first programmable, general-purpose, electronic digital computer was the Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine, which ran its first program on 21 June 1948. Major advances in the 1970s included the invention of the hard disk drive and the first operating system for microcomputers, CP/M. By the 1990s, advances in integrated circuits made computers much smaller, cheaper and more accessible to the public.

Production and distribution media (kamron grant)
- 1. Production and distribution In my opinion universal pictures would be a great production company to produce our film as it has produced award winning films such as King Kong and the famous JAWS, Jurassic Park and Despicable me .universal pictures is an American film studio, owned by Comcast through its solely owned subsidiary NBCUniversal, and is one of Hollywood’s biggest film companies. Universal produces, acquires, and distributes direct-to-DVD titles, classic titles from the Universal library, consumer products and specialty motion pictures under Focus Features. Through its international production group, the studio partners with leading international film companies to make and acquire films for wide commercial release or distribution in specific countries. Universal Studios, Inc. is active in a variety of entertainment enterprises. Its Universal Studios Group division offers production facilities in various cities such as California, Orlando and Florida to independent producers of filmed entertainment and commercial advertising. The company's motion picture distribution operation includes outstanding video and DVD distribution. Universal also produces organised televisions shows and airs its documentation of television shows and motion pictures on international and domestic cable networks. Universal's content is released across traditional and digital distribution channels, including theatrical exhibition, physical and electronic home entertainment, pay and free television, and subscription on-demand services. Across all traditional categories, as well as interactive and wireless platforms. Much of Universal's studio facilities are open for public tours and offer attractions and rides based on motion picture and television themes. This would be great for the promotional business aspect of film as it will capture a large audience. Movie theme parks are also in operation in Spain and China, this again is great for business is because we will gain many viewers from different backgrounds, thus creating a diverse audience. Other business activities involve licensing for consumer products, such as apparel with movie and television characters, the chain of Spencer's Gifts stores , online shopping , archives and interactive electronic games.
