Question3
Warner Brothers and Sony Pictures would be suitable distributors for the author's heist movie opening sequence because they have experience distributing successful heist films over the past five years such as Gangster Squad, The Town, Inception, The Italian Job, and the Mission Impossible series. The author researched distributors of hit heist movies and determined that Warner Brothers and Sony Pictures would be more likely to distribute his media product due to their proven track record in the heist genre.
The dark knight rises
The document describes the extensive marketing campaign used to promote The Dark Knight Rises film, beginning with an encrypted audio file on the official website in May 2011 that hinted at the film. Teaser trailers were strategically leaked or attached to highly popular films like Harry Potter to maximize viewership. Promotional posters provided iconic symbols without revealing plots. Prologue footage was attached to IMAX prints of other films months before release. Theaters received trailers attached to blockbuster films, generating excitement from audiences anticipating the conclusion to Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. The viral marketing of "bat symbol" graffiti further hyped the trailer's release online, setting a record with over 12.5 million views in the first 24 hours.
Task 3 2-2
Icon Film Distribution or Film District would be the best choices to distribute the psychological thriller film. Both have experience distributing similar genre films like Paranormal Activity and Insidious. The film would appeal to audiences aged 15-50 internationally, as long as they understand English or subtitles. Marketing strategies would include releasing a trailer with scary scenes a few months before the October release date, when audiences are in a festive mood for this genre. Self-distribution is not recommended due to lack of experience, budget, and brand recognition compared to major distributors.
Attack the block
Attack the Block is a 2011 sci-fi thriller film directed by Joe Cornish. It was released in the UK on May 11, 2011 and in the US on July 29, 2011. The film was promoted through an official trailer release, social media campaigns on Facebook, Twitter, and a website providing information on release dates and behind-the-scenes footage. Reviews were mixed, with some praising the film's humor and social commentary while others criticized the acting and unrealistic portrayal of characters' reaction to an alien invasion.

The document discusses how the film Ruthless Russians challenges conventions in genre, camera techniques, sounds, and location for a crime thriller. It draws inspiration from films like 4.3.2.1 and The Godfather for its use of a McGuffin, close-up shots for dialogue, and gang violence. Sounds include intense music during crimes, depressing music for loss, and car chase music inspired by 2 Fast 2 Furious. However, it challenges the crime thriller convention by setting the story in rural East London instead of typical gritty urban areas.
Teaser trailer analysis
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 trailer shows Katniss (played by Jennifer Lawrence) preparing for war against the Capitol as the leader of the rebellion. Scenes depict Katniss receiving weapons training in District 13, President Snow threatening her over video, and destruction occurring across Panem as the districts rebel. The trailer was released online in July 2014 and promoted at Comic-Con to build excitement for the November 2014 release of the first part of the final Hunger Games installment.
Script 2
Patrick Grover leaves a voicemail for his psychiatrist explaining that he can no longer cope with his headaches and feels everyone stares at him, thinking he is mad. As he walks along the hilltop, he pretends to shoot three teens and another citizen. Continuing his journey, he explains he is no longer after self-actualization and just wants to do bad things. Upon reaching the hilltop where a panicking girl watches, he pretends to shoot himself in the head, switching to a black screen with a gunshot sound.

The document discusses how the film Ruthless Russians challenges conventions of crime thriller genres. It uses conventions from films such as The Godfather and Rear Window for close-up shots and POV shots but challenges norms by setting the story in rural East London rather than typical urban areas. Music is used to set different moods for scenes like the intro, chase scenes inspired by 2 Fast 2 Furious, and dialog scenes. The location of rural East London differs from most crime thrillers set in gritty urban areas like those seen in films such as Kidulthood.

Similar to Question3
Evaluation Q3
Lionsgate would be the best institution to distribute the document author's paranormal horror film "Vanity". Lionsgate has had success distributing similar films like "Sinister" through its subsidiary Summit Entertainment. Lionsgate uses social media extensively to market its films to large audiences. It also self-distributes its films, keeping costs low and profits high. The document examines other potential distributors but concludes Lionsgate is the best choice due to its track record of distributing horror films and ability to achieve wide theatrical releases for low-budget films like "The Last Exorcism".
Question 3 as media evaluation
The document discusses potential film distributors for an action/thriller film. It analyzes several major distributors like Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures, as well as some independent British distributors. It determines that Lionsgate Entertainment would be the most suitable choice, as it specializes in action films like The Transporter trilogy and The Hunger Games. Distributing the film through Lionsgate could benefit both the film and the company by appealing to action film fans and filling a gap in Lionsgate's portfolio with a thriller genre film.
Evaluation question 3
Revolver Entertainment and Momentum Pictures are suggested as appropriate UK-based independent film distribution companies to distribute the film. Revolver Entertainment has experience distributing thriller films including horror thrillers like House of Last Things. Momentum Pictures previously distributed major horror titles before being acquired but is looking to rebuild recognition. Working with these London-based companies would allow for easier communication and initial UK-only release to gauge critic reception before pursuing worldwide distribution.
Evaluation 3
The document evaluates several major film distribution companies as potential partners to distribute the author's horror slasher film. Universal Studios and 20th Century Fox are ruled out because they have not had much success distributing horror slasher films. Paramount Pictures is excluded because it has not distributed films similar in genre to the author's. New Line Cinema is selected because it has extensive experience and success distributing horror slasher films like A Nightmare on Elm Street, and it is owned by the very successful Warner Bros studio.
New Line Cinema
New Line Cinema is a film production and distribution company that became a unit of Warner Bros. Entertainment in 2008. Since then, New Line Cinema has seen great success by distributing several highly profitable film franchises such as The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit trilogy, and The Conjuring films. Their 2016 release slate included sequels like The Conjuring 2 as well as comedies and dramas, showing their range. The document discusses why New Line Cinema would be a good choice to distribute the author's political thriller film due to their global distribution reach and experience distributing a variety of successful films.
Question 3
Media institutions own companies involved in film, television, and radio that distribute media products. The document discusses researching which institutions have distributed similar crime and thriller films like Taken, which was distributed by EuropaCorp and 20th Century Fox in different regions. After this research, 20th Century Fox is chosen as the distributor since it is the second largest major film studio and has experience distributing successful franchises that could help make the opening sequence a success as well.
Media Distributors
Our low-budget British psychological thriller film would likely be distributed by a small independent film distribution company rather than a major Hollywood studio. Some potential options are Vertigo Films, DNA Films, and Film 4, which specialize in distributing smaller, independent films from non-professional filmmakers. DNA Films in particular seems well-suited as they have experience distributing similar low-budget, dark genre films like thrillers and our film's psychological thriller genre aligns with the types of films they distribute.
Institutional research
Fight Club was produced by several companies and distributed primarily by 20th Century Fox corporation and its parent company 20th Century Fox Entertainment. Smaller distribution companies were also involved. 20th Century Fox is a major film studio and distributor that focuses on large, mainstream blockbuster films. While an independent film like a student project would require a smaller, low-budget distributor, occasionally small independent films are successful enough to be picked up by a major studio for wider release, like City of God. Shutter Island was produced by Paramount Pictures and Phoenix Pictures and distributed mainly by Paramount Pictures, a privately owned major studio known for blockbuster action, horror and comedy films. Both studios primarily handle large films due to their resources

Fight Club was produced by several companies and distributed primarily by 20th Century Fox corporation and its parent company 20th Century Fox Entertainment. Smaller distribution companies were also involved. 20th Century Fox is a major film studio and distributor that focuses on large, mainstream blockbuster films. While an amateur film like a student project would not be distributed by a major company like 20th Century Fox, smaller independent distributors exist that could handle distribution of lower budget films.
The Grimm - Institution Comparison
Warner Bros. Pictures would likely distribute the product because they are a major production company within the large media conglomerate TimeWarner, allowing for global distribution. Warner Bros. gains funding from TimeWarner and other investors. They would market the film using TimeWarner's publishing and advertising companies like Entertainment Weekly magazine. The film would likely be released around Halloween to target horror fans, and Warner Bros. could postpone the release date if needed to maximize audiences.
Evaluation Question 3 ASMedia
The document discusses three potential media institutions for distributing a new horror film opening: 20th Century Fox, Hammer Productions, and Lionsgate. Hammer Productions is summarized as the best choice because it exclusively focuses on the horror genre, is more likely to take on an independent filmmaker's project, and has experience appealing to younger audiences. Lionsgate would be the second choice and 20th Century Fox the third, as their main audiences are older or focused on other genres.
Distribution research
The document analyzes potential film distributors for the paranormal horror movie "Vanity". Paramount Pictures and Lionsgate are identified as the best options. Paramount reliably distributes one paranormal film per year around Halloween, while Lionsgate has successfully distributed several paranormal movies. Though Warner Bros, Film District and Tribeca Film Festival have also distributed paranormal movies, they have less experience in the genre. DreamWorks and Summit Entertainment are ruled out for lack of recent paranormal films.
Media presentation
Warner Bros. Pictures is one of the largest and most successful film studios, producing blockbuster franchises like Harry Potter and Batman. In contrast, Movie Mogul Films is a small, relatively unknown studio that has only produced four films since 2008, including the low-budget thriller Panic Button. While Inception had a massive budget of $160 million from Warner Bros., Panic Button had a tiny budget of just £300,000 from Movie Mogul Films.
