What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The document discusses film distribution and the factors a distributor considers when deciding how to distribute a film. It describes the film being summarized as a low-budget British mystery thriller targeting audiences aged 15-40 interested in the genre. As the film has a niche crime/thriller audience without major stars, it would be distributed by a small British company like Vertigo Films or Film 4 rather than a large Hollywood studio. These small independent distributors focus on low-budget, niche films without major star power.

While Hollywood studios distribute big-budget blockbusters globally, British films aim to attract audiences in the UK through festivals, online, and regional distribution to maintain low costs. The document discusses how a small, London-based independent film was distributed domestically in the UK by Candi Media Productions due to its regional focus and ability to work with low-budget films that lack star power for global distribution.

As evaluation question 3
This document discusses distribution strategies for different types of films. It notes that the film Monsters had a cinema and DVD release distributed by Vertigo Films that earned 10 times the production budget. It was also distributed through video on demand on Momentum's website. Avatar had a huge global cinema release enabled by digital copies to prevent piracy. Iron Sky had a limited worldwide success, while a single day theatrical release and same week DVD release by Revolver Entertainment was a disaster. The author proposes distributing their low-budget, Tarantino-inspired British film similar to Monsters, by carefully targeting fans of specific genres as Monsters targeted monster movie and low-budget film fans.

This document discusses film distribution options for a low-budget British horror film. It suggests that Soda Pictures, a UK film distribution company known for low-budget films, may be interested in distributing the film. Soda previously distributed the horror film "Only Lovers Left Alive," so they could appeal to the same audience. The film may also have wider international appeal beyond the UK because horror films have large global fan bases, and casting solely British actors makes it unique compared to American horror films. Marketing strategies discussed include releasing the film a few months after major blockbusters to take advantage of less competition. Self-distribution is also mentioned as an option.
British film
This document provides an overview of contemporary British film production, distribution, and consumption. It discusses what constitutes a British film and provides categories based on creative and financial contributions. It also examines two recent successful British films as case studies - The Last King of Scotland and This is England. The document outlines the current boom in British film due to television company co-funding and investment. It analyzes genres like social realism and the works of prominent British directors like Ken Loach and Mike Leigh.
distributors
The document discusses potential distributors for an independent British film called "Under Suspicion". It notes that the film would likely be distributed in the UK initially by companies like Warner Bros. UK. It also suggests that if the film was produced by Working Title Films, part of NBC Universal, then NBC Universal would distribute it worldwide since they could profit from an independent film's global sales. Finally, it proposes that the film would be released first in UK cinemas, then on Blu-Ray/DVD, and eventually online streaming services.

Media Studies Evaluation 3
The student analyzed potential media institutions to distribute their post-apocalyptic film. Major studios like Warner Bros and Lionsgate were deemed unsuitable due to the film's low budget and lack of famous actors. Independent British film companies like DNA Films and Palace Pictures would be more interested since they distribute similar genre films set in Britain. The student also proposed advertising the film at small UK film festivals focused on new British directors, such as the British Independent Film Festival, rather than large cinema chains that prioritize blockbuster films.
Question 3 final
Warner Bros or a major international studio like Universal would be good choices to distribute the film because they have wide global reach and have successfully distributed similar films in the past like I Am Legend. They would want to distribute the film because similar genre films have been very popular and profitable, even with low budgets. The film's unique selling point of focusing on an ordinary person's experience could help audiences relate to and empathize with the main character. Institutionally, the film is similar to popular outbreak films like I Am Legend, 28 Days/Weeks Later, and The Crazies that deal with virus outbreaks.
Evaluation 3
British independent films typically have lower budgets than Hollywood blockbusters because British production companies cannot afford large budgets. Most British films do not use many production and distribution companies either, as they cannot pay for production and distribution due to their small budgets. In contrast, Hollywood blockbusters have higher budgets as they are funded by major conglomerates like Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. These large companies can afford big budgets to attract large audiences with famous actors and quality resources.
Task 3 distribution powerpoint
This document discusses film distribution options for a low-budget thriller film set in the UK. It analyzes that Vertigo Films would be the most suitable independent distributor as they specialize in lower budget, independent films. Vertigo Films has a smaller marketing budget but could still get the film into cinemas and on other formats. The film would appeal most to a UK audience as it is set locally, allowing for targeted promotion in the UK through ads, posters, and press events. Releasing the film around Easter or holidays would be best to target the student demographic when they have more free time. While self-distribution could increase profits, it would be very time-consuming without the experience and industry contacts of an established dist
Case study fish tank
FishTank is a 2009 British drama film directed by Andrea Arnold. It follows 15-year-old Mia, who lives in an Essex housing estate with her mother and younger sister. The film explores themes of dysfunctional families and alcoholism through a social realist lens. While FishTank received critical acclaim and over 20 awards, it struggled to find a wide audience domestically or internationally due to its small budget, unknown cast, and focus on a gritty portrayal of life in East London housing estates, which limited its relatability.
Q3
The film would be distributed to media institutions that specialize in action genres. As an indie film, it may receive funding from the British Film Institute or through self-funding, but this funding would not allow for large advertisements or screenings in major cinemas. Therefore, the best distribution method would be onto DVD. Columbia Pictures, an American film company owned by Sony and known for successful action films, would be a suitable distributor as their ident is present in the film's production.
Distribution
Distribution is the process by which a film is made available to audiences through a film distributor who decides on the marketing and release medium such as DVD, cinema, or television, as well as the release date. The document discusses potential UK distributors for a low-budget British horror film, such as Left Film Distribution and Arrow Films, which specialize in independent and horror cinema. Word of mouth on social media and film festivals are suggested as low-cost marketing strategies. Self-distribution through organizations like Quad Cinema is also presented as an option.
The boat that rocked
The Boat That Rocked was a 2009 British comedy film about a pirate radio station broadcasting rock music to the UK in the 1960s. Its production practices, like its confusing script and excessive length, hurt its success and it only made a small profit. Its distribution strategies also influenced its success. It was mainly marketed to British audiences but did not fully utilize social media or create an interactive fan presence online, limiting its reach. While the distributor Working Title is usually successful with British films, the minimal marketing for this film held it back from greater success.
Theory Essay
The document compares the portrayals of autism in the 1989 film Rain Man and the 2020 TV series The A Word. Rain Man portrayed autism through the "autistic savant" character Raymond and was meant for older viewers, achieving commercial success. The A Word showed more modern autistic traits like lack of speech and use of headphones and appealed to a mass audience through its timeslot on a popular channel. While both works received mixed reviews, reception theory suggests viewers' personal thoughts and feelings about the portrayals have not changed over time.

Working Title Films is a leading British film production company founded in 1984 by Tim Bevan and Sarah Radclyffe. It is now owned by Universal Studios. Working Title is known for producing romantic comedies written by Richard Curtis and films from the Coen Brothers. Their most commercially successful film is Four Weddings and a Funeral. While initially independent, Working Title benefited from partnerships with PolyGram and Universal that provided funding and access to international markets. This allowed Working Title to take risks on smaller films while also producing larger-scale movies. Working Title balances artistic freedom with commercial considerations to sustain the British film industry.
