Independent film studios fled Thomas Edison's trusts and lawsuits in New York in the early 20th century, relocating to Los Angeles for its sunny weather, inexpensive property, and varied locations. As the film industry flourished in LA, Hollywood became the center of movie production in the US, establishing the studio system to ensure quality and costs were controlled. Over time, major studios like MGM, Paramount, and Warner Bros led the Hollywood studio system, which grew to become the world's dominant film industry as European cinema struggled after World War I.
Evaluation question three
This document discusses potential distributors for an independent horror film made on a low budget with local actors. It analyzes how two potential distributors, StudioCanalUK and Lions Gate Entertainment, would be suitable options. StudioCanalUK releases many independent British films and has distributed similar horror films. Lions Gate Entertainment is a successful North American independent film company that has distributed a wide variety of genres, including horror films. Both companies' experience with independent and genre films could help distribute and promote the film.

More and more broadcasters are redesigning their audio services for distribution via the web and focusing on visualizing and personalizing radio. The rise of podcasts has been driven by both professionals and hobbyists. New wireless devices and vehicles that are fully web-enabled are emerging to replace traditional radios, while geolocation and mapping services make it easy to pin location-specific audio to places and activities.
Hollywood
The Hollywood film industry based in Los Angeles, California has become a global powerhouse due to its early establishment, organized studio system, and broad cultural appeal. It was founded in the early 20th century as independent studios moved to Los Angeles to escape legal battles and benefit from the sunny weather and inexpensive land. A studio system developed that standardized production and ensured profits through controlling distribution. While other film industries existed, Hollywood's success was cemented after World War I when European film production was disrupted but Hollywood continued to grow its system and audience. As a result, Hollywood came to dominate global film production and remains the leading industry today.
Evaluation Question 3
Revolver Distribution UK was chosen as the distribution company for the independent, low-budget thriller film. Revolver is an independent British distribution company that has distributed several low-budget films with unknown actors in recent years. Revolver was deemed an appropriate choice given its experience distributing similar independent, small films in the past. The film would primarily target a national UK audience and be distributed through both the help of the internet and film festivals to attract more distributors.
Evaluation question 3
This document discusses different types of media institutions that could distribute an independent film. It describes cinemas, television, and film festivals. Film festivals often screen drama films and can bring attention to controversial topics. Independent cinemas also tend to show drama films and cater to more niche audiences interested in non-mainstream genres. A low-budget, independent film would likely be distributed at an independent cinema or film festival rather than a large cinema chain due to its limited appeal and production values. It could also be uploaded to YouTube to reach audiences online.

This document summarizes a television commercial for Banglalink Network. The commercial tells the story of a fisherman whose life is changed when he is able to directly contact buyers and sell his fish using the Banglalink network. Previously, he was dependent on intermediaries. The commercial has good production quality, appropriate models and costumes, and emotional appeal. However, it is criticized for being too long at 1 minute and 29 seconds, which increases costs for a small target audience of people in remote areas. Slightly shortening the duration could make the commercial more effective and economical.

Revolver Entertainment would be a good media institution to distribute the film because they have experience producing similar films about urban youth culture with smaller budgets and less famous actors. Revolver takes risks on these types of films and has a proven track record of successfully distributing them both theatrically and through digital home entertainment channels. They also stay on the cutting edge of new distribution technologies.

Evaluation question 3
This document discusses which cinema would be most likely to distribute a 1950s British thriller film called "Eve Crawford". It analyzes that the film would not appeal to a mainstream multiplex audience. It would be better suited to an independent cinema like Cinema City, which shows art-house and niche films appealing to smaller audiences, including older thrillers like "Psycho". Cinema City's audience prefers these kinds of films over newer mainstream violent thrillers.
Evaluation 3
Our thriller film "Eve Crawford" would be best distributed by an independent cinema like Cinema City rather than a multiplex. Cinema City appeals to a niche audience and shows older art house films and thrillers from past decades, which our 1950s British thriller would fit in with. Independent cinemas tend to show low budget, small cast films shot on location like ours. A film distribution company like Film Four would also be suitable as they focus on British audience films rather than large mainstream releases.
Q3
This document discusses potential media institutions that might distribute an independent, low-budget British thriller film called "Homeless". It suggests that regional independent cinemas like Picturehouse cinemas would be most likely exhibitors, specifically CinemaCity in Norwich where the film is set. It also argues online streaming services like LoveFilm and Channel 4 or Film4 television would provide good outlets for wider audiences due to their experience distributing similar British films. Mainstream cinema chains and most UK broadcasters are seen as less suitable due to their focus on large, mainstream audiences.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
This document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a low-budget independent UK film called "The Echoing." It analyzes several options, including independent UK distributors like Optimum Releasing and Revolver Entertainment, as well as larger studios. It determines that Optimum Releasing or Revolver Entertainment would be the most suitable choices, as they specialize in independent films and UK-only distribution, which matches the film's limited scope and budget. Bigger studios aiming for worldwide tentpole releases are deemed unsuitable due to their higher costs and ambitions beyond the film's means.
Evaluation Q3
Revolver Entertainment would be a suitable distributor for the film "Paperchain" for three reasons:
1) Revolver specializes in distributing thriller genres like "Paperchain" and has experience with films set in London.
2) Distributing with Revolver would help establish the film's actors and actresses in the UK market.
3) "Paperchain" presents a unique psychological thriller perspective set in London that has not been widely seen before, unlike typical UK films about gangs and drugs.
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.
Research into media institutions
Revolver Entertainment is an LA-based film distribution company that distributes independently produced films through various platforms like TV, DVD, theaters, and VOD. They use unconventional marketing tactics like guerrilla marketing with a small budget to connect each film to its target audience. For example, with the film Kidulthood they hired a large billboard with the film's cast faces replaced by UK government officials' faces to encourage debate. Revolver distributes films across genres including crime films like Act Of Grace and Tony.
The distribution of ill manors
Plan B's album "Ill Manors" was used to promote the film of the same name through a variety of digital marketing techniques. The album went straight to #1 in the UK charts upon its release, helping to publicize the film in a unique way. The film's distribution strategy included an initial wide release in 191 cinemas followed by a drop to 83 cinemas in the second week, indicating the film may have struggled to expand its audience through word of mouth. The marketing campaign made use of posters, trailers, a premiere event, radio, and television advertising focused on youth audiences.

Submarine - Audiences and Institutions
This document provides production details and box office figures for the 2010 British film Submarine. It was directed by Richard Ayoade and produced by Warp Films with a budget of £1.2 million. Through collaboration between several production companies and distribution by The Weinstein Company in the US and Optimum Releasing in the UK, the film was able to reach a wider audience and earned £2.03 million at the box office.
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.
Research into Horror Institutions
The document compares four institutions involved in the horror genre - Blumhouse Productions, Hammer Productions, Lionsgate, and Universal. It analyzes the work each has produced previously and how they might be suitable partners for distributing the author's horror film trailer. Blumhouse is noted for its low-budget, high-quality films and live events. Hammer Productions has experience and prestige in both classic and modern horror. Lionsgate has successfully targeted younger audiences and distributed controversial films. Universal has a long history in horror and a loyal built-in audience due to its classic monsters.
Film4 revision
Film4 is a British production house and channel that produces and broadcasts independent and mainstream films to enhance the British film industry, with a philosophy of nurturing new talent and broadening audiences. The budget for Film4 will increase 50% to £15 million per year to support the domestic film industry following the closure of the UK Film Council. Film4 produces around 6 films per year and works with other production companies and distributors.
Task 3
This document discusses distribution and marketing strategies for a psychological thriller film set in London. It defines distribution as making a film available for audiences and generating buzz through promotion. It notes that Lions Gate Entertainment would be a good independent distributor as it has successfully distributed similar films. The film would likely appeal most to UK audiences given its British setting and characters, but possibly also others interested in British culture. Suggested marketing strategies include ads on buses, trains, bus stops, billboards, social media, TV, and trailers in cinemas showing similar genres.
Evaluation 3
Warp Films is an independent film company based in Sheffield that was established in 1993. They produce, distribute, and exhibit independent films targeting niche audiences. Some of their successful films include Submarine and '71, which found financial success within their target markets. The document's author chose Warp Films to distribute their post-apocalyptic film because Warp targets similar niche audiences to art house cinemas and is a well-known UK independent film distributor. Being a local company also provides financial and advertising benefits.
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.
task 3
This document discusses film distribution and provides examples of distribution companies. It defines distribution as making a film available for audiences and generating awareness through marketing. It describes 20th Century Fox and Lions Gate Entertainment as major distributors, with 20th Century Fox distributing big blockbusters and Lions Gate focusing more on independent films. The document proposes Lions Gate as the best choice to distribute the author's psychological thriller film targeting UK audiences, since Lions Gate has experience with similar lower-budget British films. Suggested marketing strategies include billboards, buses, social media, and TV ads on specific channels to reach the target audience.
History of music TV
Reality television shows like The X Factor use various techniques to appear authentic and create a sense of intimacy between audiences and contestants, while still exercising control over the narrative. Producers shape contestant stories and personalities to increase drama and competition. Though audiences feel involved through voting, their role is still passive as they consume a pre-packaged product. The quest to find new music stars engages audiences but also raises questions about the authenticity of reality television genres.

Q1 evaluation short film
The document discusses how the media product uses conventions from real media products in its formatting and stylistic choices. It analyzes settings, costumes, vehicles, titles, and camera work to show how they follow conventions from films like Shank, Adulthood, Bullet Boy, Ill Manors, and Kidulthood. The isolated estate setting, hoodies worn by characters, cars used, bold centered title design, and use of close-ups are all styled after similar techniques in British urban thriller films to portray the intended tone and genre.

This document discusses how the student's media product of a magazine film review uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real magazine reviews.
It summarizes that the student used large images of scenes from the film in the review to catch readers' attention and give them a sense of the movie. However, the student challenged conventions by centering one image instead of placing it at the top of the page.
Additionally, the student laid one review out across two landscape pages instead of being confined to one portrait page, to allow more space to write the review.
The student followed conventions for headings, titles, and a star rating system but changed the heading from "In Cinemas" to "New Releases"

Short film analysis - Knock
The document analyzes various film techniques used in the short film "Knock." It discusses the use of close-ups to focus on a character's facial expressions, shallow focus on a ringing telephone to signify its importance, and obscure shots and low-level shots that use lighting and camera angles to build mystery and suggest something negative is going to happen to the character. Mise-en-scene elements like a baseball bat used for protection on a dark night also create suspense and unease for the audience.
Knock 2011
The camera uses close ups to show the main character's facial expressions and over the shoulder shots when she talks to her friend. The lighting starts off light in the bathroom and becomes very low key and dark throughout the rest of the film to create a horror atmosphere, with most of the film being dark.
Short Film - Coffer
This document summarizes the cinematography techniques used in a short film scene. It describes how a medium shot with deep focus is used to reveal details of the room and make the ordinary seem extraordinary. Lighting is used to make one side of the shot darker to imply something may happen there. A mixture of editing and low-key lighting creates a mysterious dark hole where the protagonist drops an object that seems to fall for an unusually long time. A medium close-up with shallow focus focuses on the protagonist's facial expressions to show she is frightened and confused by something strange she witnessed.
Revolver entertaiment distribution
Revolver Entertainment is an expert in youth entertainment and home entertainment distribution. They are pioneers in digital distribution and embracing new technologies. Revolver has distributed several successful urban youth cultural UK films like Shank and Kidulthood that introduced new, less popular actors. Distributing films with similar themes and new actors would give a film a high chance of being chosen by Revolver.
Opening titling research
The document provides background information on the title sequences of two films:
The Usual Suspects title sequence lasts for about two minutes and features a dark nighttime setting over the ocean, with the moonlight gradually darkening until it is completely black.
The Godfather title displays Mario Puzo's name prominently to signal that the popular novel's writer penned the screenplay, even if he did not direct. The simple title "The Godfather" is shown for eight seconds with nothing else, emphasizing the importance of the character and getting straight to the story without other distractions.

What kind of media institution would distribute your film and why?
- 1. Revolver Entertainment • “While a theatrical focus is key to Revolver's business they are also experts in youth entertainment and exploiting both physical and digital home entertainment distribution channels. In a time of industry change Revolver remain at the forefront of possibility as pioneers in digital distribution, embracing new technology and always staying one step ahead of the game”
- 2. • Revolver entertainment distributed another urban youth cultural UK film which was Shank. • This means they take risks in giving new people chances and as we have a similar film to Shank, our chances of being chosen by them would be high. • Another film they took a risk with was Kidulthood, this also is another urban youth cultural UK film. • Kidulthood was successful and a sequel was produced a few years afterwards, which was “Adulthood” and revolver entertainment distributed both films • Kidulthood, and Shank both introduced some new actors which were not very known before these films. This appeals to us again as we have some less popular actors who have a chance to be supported by a UK distribution company.
