Question 3 for evaluation
Hammer Film Productions would be a suitable media institution to distribute my media product. Hammer Films is a famous UK-based film production company known for producing successful horror films. Distributing through Hammer would leverage their experience and reputation in the horror genre to effectively promote the production to teenagers and young adults. Hammer also has a partnership with Warner Bros, which could provide access to A-list talent, equipment, and publicity that would increase the financial success and recognition of the production.
Evaluation question 3
This document discusses film distribution and different types of distributors. It provides definitions of film distribution, a distributor's role, and compares indie films to working title films. The document analyzes the budgets and box office returns of films like "Donnie Darko" and "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" to show that indie films with unknown actors can still find success. It also discusses typical distribution methods like posters, trailers, and social media marketing. The document proposes that Pandora Cinema would be a suitable distributor since it successfully distributed the similar film "Donnie Darko". Alternately, the creator suggests using social media and local advertising if a distributor cannot be found.
Evaluation 3 what kind of media institution
Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox would be suitable institutions to distribute the media product. Universal Pictures distributes a variety of genres including action and thriller films aimed at older audiences. 20th Century Fox also distributes a range films across genres, such as thrillers and mysteries similar to the media product. Of the two, 20th Century Fox would be the ideal choice as they have a history of distributing films matching the murder mystery genre and target audience age range of 15-24 for the media product.
Industries
The document defines and provides examples of the major media industry sectors, including: the film industry (e.g. 20th Century Fox, DreamWorks, Disney), radio industry (e.g. rock, pop, and soft music stations), television industry (e.g. providers like Sky, BT, and Freeview), print industry (e.g. magazines, newspapers, labels), advertising/marketing industry, press/news media, and games design industry (e.g. for consoles and mobile devices). It describes some of the key aspects, companies, and products within each sector.
Media institution and audience research
This document compares three major film distribution companies - Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Brothers - and analyzes which would be the best fit for the author's film. Warner Brothers is identified as the best option due to its successful action films targeting similar audiences, its high production values and budgets exemplified by films like Harry Potter, and its strong reputation and profits compared to the other companies. The target audience for the author's film is identified as older teenagers and young adults due to its prison-based 18-rated subject matter.
Evaluation Task 3
Icon Film Distribution would be most likely to produce the filmmakers' thriller based on what they have created so far. As an independent UK film distributor that has produced over 200 films, including low-budget titles like Paranormal Activity, Icon supports original films from inexperienced directors. Similarly, 20th Century Fox could potentially produce the film as a full-length movie, as the proposed thriller shares conventions and elements with Fox titles like Alien that feature strong female protagonists and suspense. The filmmakers analyze why both studios might be interested in their idea based on their experience and openness to independent productions.
History of copyright video
The document summarizes several television and advertising campaigns from the 1990s to the 2010s addressing copyright and piracy. It describes campaigns from the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) in the 1990s and 2000s that warned consumers about counterfeit videos and links between piracy and organized crime. It also outlines campaigns from 2004 featuring slogans like "cool is copyright" and parodying stealing tangible goods. Later campaigns more gently encouraged supporting the film industry or highlighted the negative effects of piracy on the cinema experience.
Question 3
E-One Entertainment is chosen to distribute the film because it is a well-known, UK-based independent film distribution company that specializes in niche films with targeted audiences. E-One has successful experience distributing similar low-budget films and has the connections to get the film in front of audiences worldwide through its partnerships. Choosing a UK distributor will help support the domestic film industry.

Ill manors case study
Ill Manors is a 2012 British crime drama film directed by Ben Drew with a budget of $100,000 that grossed $1.1 million worldwide for a profit of over $1 million. It was distributed through various companies on DVD, Blu-ray, download and on demand to gain popularity. The film's release was promoted through a campaign combining traditional and digital advertising including tweets, posters and a protest music video by Plan B to raise awareness of issues facing London youth.
Research into Institutions
Columbia Pictures and Universal Pictures are both film production and distribution subsidiaries of large media conglomerates that allow them to profit from synergies across business units. Columbia Pictures, owned by Sony, has produced popular teen comedies like Superbad and social films. Universal Pictures, owned by Comcast and General Electric, has particularly found success distributing the American Pie franchise of R-rated teen comedies. Their parent company ownership allows both studios to heavily market and widely distribute films to maximize profits.
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.

The document discusses the acquisition of Marvel Entertainment by The Walt Disney Company in 2009. Specifically:
- Disney and Marvel are two major entertainment companies, with Disney known for films, theme parks, and television networks, and Marvel known for comic books and superhero films.
- In 2009, Disney acquired Marvel for $4.2 billion, making Marvel a Disney subsidiary. This expanded Disney's audience to include Marvel fans and allowed them to incorporate Marvel characters into their properties.
- The deal increased Disney's power in the film industry, giving it a near-monopoly. It allows Disney to more widely distribute Marvel content and dominate the superhero genre going forward.
Evaluation Question 3
There are two main types of film distributors - major film studios like Paramount Studios and independent film studios like Film 4 Productions. Major studios have large budgets and distribute widely in theaters, earning tens of millions opening weekend, while independent studios have more modest budgets but also distribute on DVD earning millions more. The documentary recommends distributing their independent production with both a major studio for a wide theater release and on DVD, as well as at local art houses, to reach their target teenage audience through an online advertising campaign using social media.
Casestudypownership
The document summarizes the Walt Disney Company's business structure and operations. It discusses that Disney has four major sectors: media networks, parks and resorts, studio entertainment, and consumer products. It also describes that Disney has grown through conglomeration, globalization, integration, and media synergy. Disney faces competition from other companies targeting similar family audiences, such as Nickelodeon, but has maintained an advantage through its iconic characters and expansive theme park attractions.
Level 4 response section b - media ownership
Media ownership has a significant impact on the successful distribution of films. Large companies like Time Warner, which owns Warner Bros., have a major advantage over smaller companies due to their ability to independently distribute films on a massive global scale through their ownership of production and distribution subsidiaries. For example, Warner Bros. was able to profit greatly from The Dark Knight Rises through extensive traditional and social media marketing campaigns made possible by their large size and resources. In contrast, smaller companies like Vertigo and Warp have much more limited distribution capabilities and rely heavily on film festivals and DVD sales rather than wide theatrical releases, making it difficult to compete with major studios.
Media task 3 bbbb
The production company is responsible for funding and creating the film. To release the film publicly, the production company must partner with a distribution company. The document discusses using a nonprofit short film distributor like Cinereach as it is suited for low-budget short films. Film festivals are also an option but are usually for feature films with large audiences. Modern distribution options include streaming sites like Netflix and digital downloads from iTunes. The film aims to appeal globally through relatable relationships and horror appealing to those who enjoy being scared. The release strategy is to present the film in cinemas, DVD, and digital download once production is finished with a campaign targeting the right audience. Major film distributors are listed like Paramount, DreamWorks

Task 1 structure and ownership of the media sector
The document provides information on different types of media ownership including private, public service, independent, conglomerate, horizontal integration, vertical integration, cross media convergence, and synergy. It also discusses the structure and ownership of Walt Disney as a case study, noting that it is a large global media conglomerate that owns film studios, TV networks, cable channels, publishing, music, and theme parks. Disney uses horizontal integration to own various TV companies under the Disney Media Networks division. The document also gives some competitor and audience information about Disney and mentions a few historical rumors and scandals related to the company.
Global institutions and global audiences
Global institutions like Disney dominate media production through their vast financial resources that allow extensive marketing and distribution worldwide. However, independent films can still succeed globally with a quality product like "The King's Speech", which earned over $400 million despite a smaller budget and target audience. While institutions produce most films, independent companies demonstrate there is appetite for alternatives through viral marketing and a compelling story. Overall, global institutions largely control media production, but independent films can still achieve influence.
Independent film company
Warp Films is an independent British film company that struggles to compete with large conglomerate studios like Disney due to a massive budget gap. For example, the budget for Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean was $300 million, compared to just £1.5 million for Warp Film's 2007 movie This is England. New technologies like HD filming and digital distribution have helped Warp promote and distribute films at a lower cost. However, conglomerates have more resources to combat piracy and reach a much broader audience with big-budget blockbusters aimed at all ages.
The long tail pp
The document discusses how the Long Tail theory, originally proposed by Chris Anderson in 2006, can be applied to the film industry. The theory describes how the internet has allowed niche products with smaller audiences to be profitable by reaching enough total customers. In the film industry, large retailers like Blockbuster that can only stock popular titles represent the "head," while online retailers like Amazon and Netflix that have unlimited shelf space represent the "long tail." This allows more niche films to be available and profitable compared to physical retailers with space constraints. The internet has shifted sales away from brick-and-mortar stores to online platforms.
Question 3
Entertainment Film Distributors would be the most suitable company to distribute my film. As a British distributor of independent films in the UK and Ireland, they specialize in backing newcomers and low-budget films. They have distributed several romantic comedies, the genre of my film, including Run Fatboy Run, 17 Again, and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Their experience distributing popular romantic comedies in this genre would help ensure wide exposure for my film. Other companies like Momentum Pictures and Artificial Eye were less suitable - Momentum does not work with many low-budget projects and Artificial Eye focuses on art house and foreign films instead of my genre.
20 th fox 1
20th Century Fox was founded in 1904 by William Fox. They are known for musicals from 1935-1960s and the film "Poor Little Rich Girl." They target older audiences, young adults, and teenagers with widely appealing entertainment. Their two most successful films, Star Wars and Avatar, had large production budgets and visual effects. They distribute films to over 200 countries through mass advertising and cinema/DVD.
Submarine: British Film Case Study
The film Submarine is a coming-of-age comedy-drama directed by Richard Ayoade that follows the life of Oliver Tate, a young Welsh boy narrating his life. It was produced by British film company Film4 and distributed in the UK by Studio Canal UK. The main cast includes Craig Roberts as Oliver Tate, Yasmin Paige as his love interest Jordana Bevan, and Sally Hawkins and Noah Taylor as Oliver's parents.
Vertigo films
Vertigo Films is a British independent film company that produces around 4 films per year. Though large for an independent British company, it is still much smaller than major studios like Warner Bros. Vertigo finances its films through various partnerships and co-productions. It has worked with companies like the BBC, MySpace, and Warner Bros to produce and distribute its films. Vertigo also leverages pop culture and new media technologies to promote its films and attract younger audiences. Examples include using Britain's Got Talent contestants in StreetDance and releasing films in 3D formats and for online streaming and purchase. This strategic use of synergy and cross-media convergence helps Vertigo find audiences and success despite its smaller size compared to Hollywood
Ana slumdog
The document provides a detailed analysis of the lighting, camera shots, sounds, and colors used in the opening scene of a film. It examines how these technical elements set tones of intimacy, mystery, danger, and artificiality. Key shots include a close-up of a character's face looking at something ambiguous, money being scattered to imply winning or losing, and a character being tortured in the blurred background while another looks on in sorrow. The last shot shows an exhausted character under relatively bright lighting as non-diegetic music starts, signaling the end of the opening scene.
The New Age of Education Reform
The document discusses the need for educational reform to address social and economic factors in addition to test scores. It presents views from experts like L.L. Suprunova that reform requires foundations in economics and society. The Grand Rapids Reform Initiative argues that communities and families benefit from educated youth. Reform should build on past achievements while innovating to meet current needs. Problems discussed include over-reliance on test scores, lack of community involvement, and inadequate teacher training. Proposed solutions encompass improving social conditions, community engagement, and enhanced teacher development.
2012 Aquatic And Recreation Conference
The document is about using social media for aquatic and recreation conferences. It discusses using platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to promote conferences and engage attendees. It provides the hashtag #Aquarec2012 to tag posts and some groups in the aquatic and recreation space to follow. It also gives tips on developing a content plan, integrating social media with a website, and using tools like Tweetdeck and Hootsuite to manage multiple accounts.

Q3 evaluation
The document discusses distributing a media production called "Joel Beckford: On The Run" through a major distributor in order to maximize profits. It recommends distributing the film through 20th Century Fox because they do not have a spy franchise and this would give the production opportunity. Major distributors contribute to 95% of films shown and help independent films find global success. The document also recommends promoting the film through social media, releasing it worldwide simultaneously to reduce piracy, releasing the DVD later to drive people to theaters, showing it in IMAX, and releasing it on streaming services like Netflix after the theatrical run.
Evaluation 3
This document discusses distributing the action film "Lethal Secret" and choosing an appropriate distributor. It analyzes that action films appeal to a mainstream audience, so a major distributor like 20th Century Fox would be best, as they have experience distributing similar action films. 20th Century Fox would get the film into multiplex cinemas and shown to a wide audience of males over and under 35. Advertising would focus on prime time ITV to reach a mass audience, and Facebook to target the intended viewers. In conclusion, a major distributor like 20th Century Fox is recommended to distribute the film widely, while ITV and Facebook are suggested for advertising to the target demographics.
Evaluation 3 (updated)
This document discusses distributing the action film "Lethal Secret" and marketing strategies.

The document discusses how independent films are distributed as real media products. It explains that independent distributors like Verve, Vertigo, and Warp Films specialize in distributing independent films in theaters and on DVD worldwide. Warp Films in particular is chosen as a suitable distributor because they target distinctive, independent content. The role of distributors is to sell films to theaters to generate revenue by identifying the audience, building interest, and converting that interest into ticket sales. Modern distributors also utilize digital distribution methods and spend more on digital marketing like short trailer ads on YouTube to promote films.
Evaluation activity 3
This document discusses potential film distribution companies for a small, low-budget horror film production. It analyzes Film4, Lionsgate UK, and Studio Canal UK as options. Film4 is identified as the preferred choice as it specializes in smaller, UK-based films and has a track record of distributing successful horror titles. Though Lionsgate and Studio Canal also have experience with the genre, they tend to focus on higher budgets than the production being considered. Film4 could provide national distribution through its Channel 4 and E4 platforms, targeting younger audiences, and may allow global reach through partnerships.
Media task 3
Distribution is the process of getting films noticed by audiences through identifying the target demographic, estimating revenue potential, and convincing exhibitors to show the film. The UK has six main distribution companies linked to Hollywood studios, such as Entertainment One and Metrodome. The film Exile is a British independent thriller/crime/romance hybrid that would appeal most to a UK audience given its low-budget, British actors and setting. Metrodome may be a good fit as they have distributed similar British "indie" films in the past like Shifty.

Evaluation Question 3
DNA Films would be the best media institution to distribute 'The Cycle'. As an independent British film production company, DNA Films has experience distributing similar small, independent British films. They have a distribution agreement with Fox Searchlight, allowing DNA Films' films access to Fox's funding and global distribution network. This partnership has proven successful for films like 28 Days Later and The Last King of Scotland. In comparison, while Lionsgate has successfully distributed large-budget films like The Hunger Games, their size would make it difficult for a small, independent British film like 'The Cycle' to secure a distribution deal with them.
As media evaluation question 3
This document discusses distribution strategies for low-budget films. It analyzes how Vertigo Films and other companies have successfully distributed similar films. Vertigo Films distributes low-budget British films and helped films like Monsters (2010) find audiences. The document also discusses the fictional film Mendacity (2017), which will be distributed by the made-up company W Studios using strategies inspired by Vertigo Films, targeting fans of low-budget British crime thrillers.
Film distribution
Film distribution involves marketing and releasing films to audiences. Distributors control how films are advertised and sold through trailers, merchandise, and social media. They focus on theatrical release, home media release, and building the film's brand identity. Major distributors like Universal, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros., Columbia Pictures, and Lionsgate distribute blockbuster franchises globally. How a film is distributed can significantly impact its box office performance. Self-distribution allows retaining full ownership but requires extensive marketing work, while distributors have existing relationships but take a share of profits.
Evaluation question 3
The document discusses potential options for distributing an independent student film called "Animus". Large film studios would likely not support the film due to its low budget and unknown producers. However, Film London could help by providing information, funding, and support for filming in London. The document also discusses using social media advertising campaigns and hosting a school screening to distribute the film to other students.
Evaluation activity 3
Film4 would be the best distribution company for the filmmakers' low-budget horror film. As a UK-based company that specializes in distributing smaller, independent films, including horror, Film4 could nationally distribute their film through television channels they own like Channel 4 and E4. Internet distribution would also be effective since it's relatively cheap and broad in reach. While companies like Lionsgate and StudioCanal have success distributing horror films, they tend to focus on higher budgets than the filmmakers' production. Film4 offers emerging talent opportunities and has experience with similar low-budget, national distribution projects.
Media task 3
The production company is responsible for funding and producing the film. To distribute the film publicly, the production company must partner with a distribution company. The document discusses using a small, non-profit distributor like Cinereach that supports short, low-budget films and has been nominated for Oscars. Film festivals are also an option but are usually for feature-length films with large audiences. Large distributors like MGM have links to cinema groups. Modern distribution options include websites like Netflix and iTunes. The document emphasizes researching the target audience to guide the film and ensure it appeals to the intended viewers.
Film studio research
An independent film company is a small company that is not part of a larger conglomerate. They have lower budgets than major studios and target niche markets. In contrast, a conglomerate film company is a large, Hollywood studio that is both horizontally and vertically integrated to control all aspects of film production and distribution. Conglomerate studios can target mass markets due to greater resources and funding.
Evaluation 3.
The Big 6 film studios, including Disney, Warner Bros, and Universal, release high-budget blockbusters but would not be suitable for distributing a low-budget, inexperienced group's film. Smaller institutions like Film Independent are better suited as they support novice filmmakers through educational programs and grants and help distribute independent films to large audiences through film festivals. Film Independent in particular draws huge crowds to its LA film festival and is effective at getting small films seen widely due to its nonprofit model and commitment to helping aspiring directors and producers.
Q3
Warp Films would be well-suited to produce our film given its small budget and focus on creative freedom. Additional funding could come from Film Four and the BFI film fund. Studiocanal would be an ideal distribution partner since they have experience distributing similar independent and British films through previous collaborations with Warp Films and Film Four. Their success in distributing niche films in the UK market makes them a good fit to handle our film.
Evaluation question 3
This document discusses what type of media institution might distribute a film product and why. It suggests that a major film distributor would be best suited to distribute the film, which is an action genre film about a girl kidnapped by a drug organization. Major distributors like 20th Century Fox would be most appropriate as they have experience distributing similar action films. Distributors are responsible for cinema release, marketing, release dates, and making films available on various platforms. They are important for a film's success and ability to reach its target audience. As the film has elements like special effects that require a larger budget, a major distributor would be needed to fund distribution and wide-reaching marketing campaigns.

It introduces three main stereotypes portrayed - geeks, "IT" girls, and party-goers.
