The document discusses options for production, distribution, and marketing of a film. For production, the BBC is proposed as a suitable local and cost-effective option compared to larger companies. Independent cinemas or hybrid distribution combining DVD/download sales are identified as affordable distribution approaches, though the latter would reach fewer viewers. Free marketing techniques mentioned include trailers to generate interest and low-cost print advertising through posters and magazines.

Evaluation question 3
An independent company would likely distribute the film "Patient Zero" because it has a limited budget and unknown actors. The film would be filmed in accessible local locations like woods near home to cut costs, rather than extravagant overseas settings. It would start in a few cinemas and increase screens over time as it becomes known, then move to television and online. Distribution would initially be just in Britain to experiment with audiences there, and potentially expand to the US later if successful. Advertising would be on low-cost websites and a short television spot, rather than extensive formats used by big Hollywood films due to the smaller budget. River Road Entertainment would be a suitable production company since they make low-budget films in similar genres.
distribuiFilm distribution research
The document discusses several film distribution companies and assesses their suitability for distributing a film trailer. It examines New Line Cinema, Screen Gems, Universal Pictures, and the now defunct Momentum Pictures. New Line Cinema and Universal Pictures are identified as good options given their success distributing similar genres. While Screen Gems also distributes similar films, it focuses more on romance and comedy. Momentum Pictures provided UK and Irish distribution before closing in 2013, but could still reach audiences in those markets.
Question 3
The document discusses which media institutions would be suitable to distribute the author's low-budget thriller film. It argues that television channels like Film4 would be the best option, as they often show similar low-budget and independent films, especially late at night when the film's darker content would be more appropriate. Film festivals could also provide an early screening and valuable feedback. Online streaming services like Netflix may also work well due to their willingness to show independent films at low cost. Cinemas and primetime television slots would not be viable given the film's low budget.
How are film trailers advertised
The document discusses how a film's trailers can be advertised, marketed, published, and distributed. It outlines several strategies: using social media, billboards, newspapers, magazines, TV advertisements, underground posters and bus stops to reach broad audiences. It aims to target teenagers 15+ through platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and youth magazines. It also plans to advertise on film-focused TV channels and in public transit areas with high traffic in London to maximize visibility. The filmmakers chose Paramount Pictures UK to publish and distribute the horror film since they have experience with similar genres which could help attract interested audiences.
Q3 Evaluation
The document discusses potential options for distributing a micro-budget film produced in London. It considers several film studios and schemes, ultimately identifying the Film London Microwave scheme as the best option. The Microwave scheme supports micro-budget films developed in London through funding from the BFI. It also discusses the benefits of a simultaneous release strategy for the film across cinema, DVD, video on demand to reduce marketing costs and maximize revenue from various sales channels. The marketing campaign would focus on releasing the film to 30 independent cinemas across the UK, each with 50 prints, to target a smaller, local audience.
Distribution
Optimum is a major UK film distribution company that releases over 200 films per year across four categories. It focuses on British and world cinema. The document discusses that Optimum would be interested in distributing a British independent film. It then contrasts the strategies of large distribution companies like Paramount versus smaller independent distributors. Large companies have major marketing budgets and cinema partnerships to ensure wide releases and profits. However, they typically require big budgets and stars. Independent distributors work with lower budget and non-star films, focusing on limited releases through independent cinemas and festivals. The document suggests an independent British horror film without stars or budget would be best suited to a small UK distributor.
Eval q 3 fini
The document discusses potential distributors for the independent film "Hanger Hill" based on its low budget. It suggests that New Line Cinema would be a suitable choice as they have previously distributed similar thriller films like "Se7en" that were financially successful. Alternatively, the British production company Film 4 could also distribute "Hanger Hill" as they regularly fund low-budget films focused on plot rather than large profits, such as the acclaimed film "Ex Machina".
Evaluation Question 3
An independent company would likely distribute the film "Patient Zero" because it has a limited budget, unknown actors, and would be watched on a small scale. It would be filmed in accessible local locations to cut costs and wouldn't have extravagant worldwide distribution. Icon Film Distribution would be a good fit as they have experience distributing similar small, low-budget psychological thrillers in the UK like "Triangle" and "Felicia's Journey".

Shifty case study
This is a complex question without a straightforward answer. A film's success is usually determined by both its appeal and the resources devoted to distributing and marketing it. Here are a few key points:
- A highly appealing film is more likely to find an audience, but it still needs exposure through distribution and marketing channels to reach its potential viewers.
- Marketing and promotion help raise awareness of a film and convey what it's about, which is important for driving interest and ticket/DVD sales. This is especially true for independent films with limited budgets.
- Wider distribution through more cinemas and territories increases the chances of finding an audience. However, distribution is costly and not guaranteed to overcome lack of appeal.

Assignment 39
The distribution company chosen was Warner Bros Entertainment for several reasons:
1) Warner Bros has successfully distributed similar films in this genre, such as the Twilight saga and Interview with the Vampire, showing they can market and exhibit films of this type.
2) As one of the six major conglomerates, Warner Bros can invest significant money into marketing and publicity for the film, increasing the chances of profit.
3) Warner Bros releases and exhibits films in UK cinemas, including local cinemas, allowing local audiences to see the film and relate to the British story.
Film studio research
The document discusses independent film companies, conglomerate film companies, and three potential film studios - EON Productions, Universal Pictures, and Lionsgate Entertainment - for partnering to produce a spy/action fiction film and movie trailer. EON Productions would be a good fit since they produce James Bond films, but would require an additional deal with a distributor. Universal Pictures and Lionsgate are large conglomerates that handle both production and distribution, which would reduce costs. The movie trailer being produced would fit in the marketing stage of the film life cycle.
Question 3
The document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of independent and mainstream film distributors. It suggests that Warp, an independent distributor, might be interested in distributing the film as they offer more flexibility and a friendly contract, though have less money. A mainstream distributor like Warner Bros could offer more money but would likely take more control over the film. Ultimately, the document recommends Safehouse Pictures UK as they are a small, local horror film distributor who would build a personal relationship and give the filmmakers more control, helping to reach their niche audience.
What Kind Of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product And Why?
News Corporation would be the ideal media institution to distribute the author's media product. News Corporation owns hundreds of media companies like 20th Century Fox, which is already well known and could instantly increase popularity and coverage of the film. As a commercial film producer, 20th Century Fox would be well suited to distribute the author's mainstream, commercial horror film. Alternatively, Icon Film Distribution UK could also distribute the film as it has successfully distributed low budget horror films like Paranormal Activity, which has similar characteristics to the author's low budget horror film.
Evaluation question 3 Marco
This document evaluates potential media institutions that could distribute a psychological thriller film. It is suggested that independent cinemas, film festivals like the British Film Institute Festival, and online streaming services on platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube would be good fits. The document analyzes current films showing at local cinemas and determines they do not typically feature psychological thrillers. It is concluded independent cinemas and online streaming would provide the broadest reach and be best suited to showcase the film.
Q3
Focus Features was considered as a distributor for the independent neo noir film "Red" because it distributes independent films. However, Focus Features only has 3.5% of the market share, so it may not be able to reach as wide an audience as other distributors. Additionally, the genres of films Focus Features has been most successful with in the past, such as Brokeback Mountain, do not match the genre of "Red", so Focus Features may not be interested in distributing a neo noir film.
Question three
Universal Pictures and Entertainment One would be suitable distributors for the film. Universal distributes many big Hollywood films through theaters and DVD/Blu-Ray. They have distributed similar thrillers like "The Girl on the Train". Entertainment One also distributes films theatrically and through home entertainment, TV, and digital formats in countries like the UK and US. They have experience distributing thriller films as well. The film would be released first in theaters through companies like ODEON and Vue, then on DVD/Blu-Ray and video on demand to reach more people.
Who would distribute my film eval 3
The document discusses options for distributing a low-budget, independent British film. It identifies Revolver Entertainment as a suitable distributor because they specialize in distributing similar low-budget, independent films with urban and gritty thriller genres. While Film 4 is also a British distributor that has successfully marketed films, Revolver Entertainment is considered a better fit since they have experience with films that have comparable budgets, genres, settings, narratives and target audiences to the film being discussed.
Institutions
This document discusses key aspects of producing an independent film, including institutions, funding, production values, marketing, similar products, and distribution. It would produce the film independently and seek co-funding from multiple companies. Around 50% of the budget would go towards production values like setting, lighting, and sound. Marketing would utilize film festivals and social media. The film's target audience of 30-40 year olds and university graduates would be reached through newspapers and online platforms. It would be distributed by StudioCanal UK, known for independent films.
Current consumer issues
1. The document discusses different ways people consume movies like cinema, streaming services, DVDs, and discusses piracy.
2. It provides statistics on movie piracy and discusses how the film industry is trying to adapt to new forms of digital distribution and piracy.
3. Newer films are being released simultaneously in theaters and on digital platforms like VOD and streaming, indicating studios see trends in media consumption shifting away from traditional release windows.
Media institution
Film distribution involves making a film available for audiences to view through various mediums like movie theaters, television, or home video. 20th Century Fox would be a good potential distributor for our thriller film as they have distributed similar genres in the past. However, our independent film may only appeal to UK audiences due to its British culture and characters, and the high costs of international distribution. We could use both traditional marketing strategies like trailers and premiers or newer digital strategies like social media and viral campaigns to promote our UK-only release.
Own experiences
The candidate discusses how their personal experiences with media consumption illustrate broader audience trends. Films are no longer only viewed at cinemas, but can now be watched at home on televisions, phones, and other devices. Media companies have adapted by offering deals to attract viewers and purchasing rights to show films on television channels. This has taken viewers away from cinemas and placed them in similar home viewing situations, while also changing how films are marketed through ubiquitous blockbuster advertising that can drown out smaller film companies.

This document discusses film distribution and potential options for distributing a low-budget drama film about an abusive relationship. It provides examples of major film distribution companies and explains that while companies like Columbia Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox have distributed similar drama films in the past, they may not be interested in a low-budget film. As a result, the document suggests exploring smaller distributors and alternative distribution strategies like film festivals and self-distribution on DVD.
Films
The document discusses various options for distributing a low-budget British crime thriller film called "Hunted" created by the author. For cinema distribution, Working Title would be a good fit as they focus on lower budget films. For TV distribution, the BBC would be suitable as it aims to develop British talent and focuses on British films. For social media distribution, YouTube would be best since it reaches the target 18-34 demographic well. DVD distribution is also considered but profit may be harder than distributing through a company.
Task 3
The document discusses distribution of films. It explains that distribution involves getting a film to its audience. Distribution companies can acquire films through their own studios or by scouting film festivals. The document then discusses an independent thriller film called "The Lost City" and strategies for getting it noticed by distributors and audiences. These include promoting it at film festivals, through online and traditional advertising. It also discusses the option of self-distributing the film to maintain full control rather than partnering with a distribution company.
Slashers
The document discusses the evolution and conventions of the horror genre. It begins with the origins of Gothic horror literature in the 1600s and covers major developments like the Universal Monsters films of the 1930s, Hammer Horror films of the 1950s-1970s, and slasher films of the 1970s-1980s like Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. It outlines common conventions for different subgenres and provides summaries of influential films like Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Scream. The document concludes by noting the popularity of "found footage" and psychological horror films in modern cinema.
Conventions of horror films
Horror films commonly use certain conventions including dark colors, low lighting, isolated settings, exaggerated sounds, and specific props associated with villains. The characters are usually placed alone in isolated small towns or abandoned places with a dark history. Common character types include the main protagonist or victim/hero, a villain such as a monster or serial killer known for their killing method, and stereotypical teenagers who are killed. Camera techniques like handheld shots and close-ups create a sense of realism and observe emotions. Themes often involve good vs. evil, revenge, madness, nightmares, or the supernatural.
Horror producers and distributors
The document discusses three British film production and distribution companies involved in horror films between the 1950s-1970s: Hammer Film Productions, known for gothic horrors from the 1950s-1970s; Amicus Productions, which produced films from 1962-1977 and distributed one called "Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D." in 1966; and Tigon British Film Productions, founded in 1966 and producing horrors from 1968-1972 while also distributing three films between 1971-1975.
Distribution of film
This document discusses different genres of films including comedy, horror, sci-fi, and action. It provides statistics showing that comedy has the highest ticket sales and market share of 23.54% despite having fewer movies produced than genres like horror. The document also discusses factors like target audiences that influence a genre's success, noting that comedy appeals to a wide range of ages while horror targets older viewers. Distribution and promotions are mentioned as important for raising film awareness and profits. Examples like Hammer Film Productions and their horror movies are provided to illustrate successful genre films and marketing techniques.
Hammer films
Hammer Film Productions is a UK-based film company founded in 1934 known for its Gothic "Hammer Horror" films from the 1950s-1970s which dominated the horror genre. They found success through partnerships with major US studios that gave their low-budget but suspenseful films featuring Frankenstein and Dracula sequels worldwide distribution. The document seeks inspiration from Hammer Films' ability to satisfy horror audiences on a small budget through simple yet effective use of props and effects to create thrills.
Film studies hammer studios
Hammer Studios is a legendary British film studio based in London that is being reinvigorated through new investment. It is a subsidiary of Exclusive Media Group and was not in production from the 1980s until recently. Some of Hammer's most successful horror films were produced in the 1960s in partnerships with major US studios. To survive now, Hammer needs to create more modern, higher budget films for an 18+ audience with diverse characters to keep viewers engaged.

Hammer horror presentation
Hammer Horror is a British film production company founded in 1934 that had great success in the 1950s with its Gothic horror films, particularly its series of Dracula films starring Christopher Lee as Count Dracula. The Dracula films employed vivid colors, graphic violence, and suggestive sexuality to dramatize Bram Stoker's novel and were worldwide hits, but the company ceased film production in the mid-1980s. Terence Fisher directed the first Dracula film in 1958 that launched the Hammer Horror franchise.

Hammer Film Productions is a British film, TV, theatre and publishing company founded in 1934. It is best known for its horror films from the 1950s-1970s including The Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula which cemented its name. During the late 1960s-1970s, the company struggled due to losing American funding and eventually ceased production in the mid-1980s. It has since changed ownership multiple times with new owners pledging to restart film production, and has produced several new horror films since 2007.
Audience survey: Film poster and radio trailer
The document discusses surveys conducted with an audience to determine the most effective horror film posters and trailers. It was found that trailers that included shocks and a sense of realism, like Chucky and Scream 3, were most memorable. Respondents said they want trailers to include conventions like blood and jump scares while leaving some suspense and not revealing the whole plot. Most said they prefer red and blood color themes in posters over black and grey, and find posters most memorable when they include vivid images that instill fear like body parts in Saw posters. The majority also said they prefer simple poster layouts without catchphrases that don't reveal the full narrative.

Q 3
A distribution company would distribute the film to theaters and streaming services. A smaller but not major distributor like Icon Productions would be suitable, as they have experience with thriller films but aren't too large to work with on the planned $7 million budget. Marketing would be limited due to budget, focusing on magazines, trailers, and internet/social media to reach the target audience of those over 35 as well as expand the audience among younger internet users.
Question 3
A subsidiary film distributor would be best suited to distribute our film in order to appeal to both our mainstream and niche audiences. While our film has mainstream appeal, some unique stylistic elements may attract a more niche crowd. A subsidiary could distribute the film widely to cinemas while also placing it on streaming services to reach niche viewers. Our estimated $7 million budget would require a smaller distributor. Marketing would focus on magazines, film trailers, and internet/social media ads due to budget constraints.
Question 3
The document discusses distributing a low-budget film. It suggests that an independent film company like Patchwork Productions would be more suitable than a major studio due to their lower budget needs. Distribution as a straight-to-DVD or downloadable online film is recommended as the cheapest options. Marketing through social media platforms and paper advertising is suggested over television due to budget constraints.

The document discusses various stages of film production and distribution for an independent film. It describes planning the production, including casting, scheduling, and considering genre and audience. It proposes partnering with independent production and distribution companies Warp Films and Vertigo Films for funding, marketing, and distribution assistance. Various marketing strategies are proposed, including radio, posters, online promotion, and soundtrack release. Distribution is suggested through independent cinemas, film festivals, and digital platforms like Netflix and Amazon to target their sophisticated audience.
Question 3
A film distribution company that is smaller than a major studio but larger than an independent distributor would be best suited to distribute our film. While our target audience is older adults over 35, choosing a mid-sized distributor would allow the film to be shown in multiplex cinemas as well as some independent theaters catering to niche audiences. With a budget of around $7 million, on par with American Psycho, we could afford marketing through magazines and movie trailers but not television ads. Additional online and social media marketing would help expand our potential audience.
Question 3
1) A film distributor is responsible for marketing and distributing a film, and can help secure financing. They determine the release date and method of exhibition.
2) The document recommends using a major distributor like Blumhouse Productions to release the film widely in multiplex cinemas. Major distributors have successful track records and name recognition that can attract audiences.
3) Low-budget horror films have been very successful, such as Paranormal Activity and Insidious, which cost $15,000 and $1.5 million respectively. With the right marketing, low budgets need not limit a film's profits.
Media coursework
The document discusses film distribution and potential companies to distribute a new film. It describes film distribution as getting a film shown in cinemas, TV, DVD, or online. Distribution involves legal rights, marketing, and releasing the film. The document recommends two potential distribution companies - Metrodome and Revolver Entertainment. They were chosen because they have distributed similar genre films to the one being discussed. The document proposes using viral marketing tactics like business cards, emails, websites, and potentially t-shirts due to the film's limited budget.

Question three
Warner Brothers would be the best media institution to distribute the film because they are a major studio with their own distribution companies that can advertise the film widely and maximize profits. As a mainstream action film, it would likely be shown in large multiplex cinemas like Cineworld and Odeon to reach the largest possible audience. Advertising in cinemas, on film channels like FilmFour, and through banners on buses and YouTube videos would be effective ways to promote the film to its target audience.

Question 3
Film distributors play an important role in distributing films to various markets and platforms. For short films, distributors represent the film at festivals and markets worldwide to sell it to companies that screen shorts. For feature films, distributors handle theatrical releases in specific countries as well as marketing and home video/streaming distribution. Distributors will source new films at festivals like Cannes and Sundance.
For a horror film, an independent distributor would be suitable as horror films tend not to get major releases but are well advertised. Independent distributors like Icon Film Distribution and Vertigo Films have experience with successful horror films and could benefit from a hit. Bigger companies also provide experience distributing a wide variety of films. Specialist horror dist
Question 3
A film distributor is a company that releases films to theaters, TV, and online platforms. They promote the film and arrange showings. For a low budget independent film, a smaller, more independent distributor would be more affordable and could still successfully promote and distribute the film. Examples given of low budget films that did well with smaller distributors include Paranormal Activity and Four Weddings and a Funeral. Fox Searchlight Pictures is mentioned as a distributor that specializes in independent and British films and has had successes with low budget films.
Evaluation question 3
Warner Brothers would be an ideal company to distribute the film "anonymous" due to their successful track record distributing thriller and action films. They are one of the major film studios in Hollywood and produce and distribute around 18-24 films per year. The film would be marketed using both traditional (posters, billboards) and viral digital strategies (social media, online forums). The marketing campaign would begin with reveal trailers released 7 months before the film's cinema release to generate buzz online. The film would be first released in cinemas, then on DVD 4 months later, and finally made available on streaming platforms like Netflix and demand services provided by cable companies. Additional content like merchandise, soundtrack, and behind-the-scenes
Evaluation Question 5
An independent film distribution company called Coffee Films would be suitable to distribute the document author's low-budget thriller film. Coffee Films specializes in thriller genres and produces similar low-budget, niche films. They could help the author market and distribute the film online through partnerships with websites that target the author's intended 17-31 year old audience, allowing the film to reach its niche viewers and potentially earn a profit.
Evaluation question 3
Peter Kirkman evaluated potential film distribution companies for his low-budget thriller film. He determined that Disney, Paramount Pictures, and Entertainment One would not be suitable as they primarily distribute big-budget films. Film4 was identified as the best option as it distributes both small, independent productions as well as larger films and has a similar target audience age range. If chosen, Film4 would likely give the film a one-time screening due to its small production scale. The film could also be advertised through online platforms and distributed via streaming sites as part of the shift to web-based media consumption.
Where campaign would be placed in the market
This document discusses the three main stages of film production: production, distribution, and exhibition. It focuses on an independent sci-fi film and how it would utilize production companies like Warp Films and distributors like Vertigo Films at each stage. For production, it describes planning cast, timing, and targeting the genre and audience. Distribution involves marketing through posters, radio, and online platforms to promote the film's small target audience. Exhibition plans to debut the film in independent London cinemas and film festivals to build publicity before possible wider distribution.
Evaluation Task 3
- The document discusses options for distributing an independent film produced outside of major studios
- It considers targeting independent distributors like StudioCanal UK that have experience with low-budget, niche films from new directors
- Self-distribution is discussed but deemed riskier due to lack of experience, resources, and connections that distributors provide
- The author proposes marketing the film differently in the UK/Ireland versus the US, playing up its depiction of unfamiliar British youth culture to American audiences
Question 3
The document discusses the filmmaker's plan to distribute their independent horror film. They would seek distribution from a company like Warp Films that distributes low-budget, niche films. Social media would be important for free advertising. The film could be distributed in mainstream cinemas due to its single plotline and lack of challenging concepts, though it may find more success through online streaming services given its smaller scale. Distribution is key to building an audience and creating buzz through word-of-mouth.
Question 3
Showtime Networks would be a good potential distributor for the film because they have experience distributing similar thriller genres that deal with bullying and crime stories. Showtime Networks distributes films and TV shows like Scream and Bang Bang You're Dead, which the film is based on. They understand how to market and distribute this type of film. While self-distribution could allow keeping all profits, it would be very time consuming without the industry connections that distributors have.
Question 3
A film distributor is responsible for marketing and distributing a film. They help finance films and decide how and when films are released, such as in theaters or for home viewing. For a low-budget horror film, the ideal distributor would be Blumhouse Productions, as they specialize in horror and have had success releasing similar films in movie theaters. If partnering with a major distributor is not possible, the film could be independently distributed, but it would likely earn less money and reach a smaller audience. To maximize viewership and profits, the film should be distributed in theaters, through online streaming services, and video-on-demand to access different types of audiences.

Question 3
- 2. I researched at many different production companies such as Hammer Film Productions, Amicus Productions and a few local production companies such as the BBC. These production companies have produced many films of the thriller genre; this would make it suitable for our film. The more popular production companies are known worldwide and are extremely expensive and the films that they produce would be put straight into main- stream cinemas. Although it would be extremely beneficial for us to produce our film with a well-known company, it is way too expensive. The company that would be more suitable is the BBC as they are local and more cost effective. They recently produced a TV series that is in the thriller genre called 'Hinterland'. We based our film on that TV series so it has some similarities such as the scenery. This would also give us a better chance of producing our film with them.
- 3. There are many ways to distribute my film. The techniques I could use are independent cinema, main-stream cinema, download, straight to DVD and hybrid distribution. The one I would use is either independent cinema or hybrid distribution. Independent cinema because I could personally go and pay them to show our film at their cinema and from that it could get more popular and could possibly end up in main-stream cinema. This option would be more time consuming but cost effective. My second option would be hybrid distribution as I could make money from selling the DVD's and selling digital downloads but the film wouldn't be seen by as many people as if it was in a cinema. But is still extremely cost effective and not very time consuming. To market my film I could use many free and popular techniques. For example if I wasn't able to get my film into the cinema I could show the trailer, this would be extremely effective as it would give the audience a taster of what the film is about and may interest them. Another way is print based advertising. This way I could advertise our film in posters and magazines for virtually nothing and it could be productive if the posters were put up in a public place and if the magazine is popular.
