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.

Warp Films vs Working Title
Warp Films and Working Title Films are two British film production companies that differ in several key ways. Warp Films is more traditionally British, producing films focused on domestic stories and audiences with less American influence. Working Title has stronger ties to American partners like Universal Studios and is known for bigger-budget films that appeal more broadly. Both companies started by producing short films that led to funding for feature-length productions. However, Working Title is now a larger company better able to utilize larger budgets for effects-heavy genres like sci-fi that Warp Films typically avoids for financial reasons.

The Fifth Estate Case Study
The Fifth Estate was a film about WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that underperformed at the box office. It may have failed to connect with audiences for several reasons: WikiLeaks publicly criticized the film's accuracy; the film's target audience of young, tech-savvy people lacked interest; and the film was overshadowed by other big releases and the Edward Snowden story. As a result, the film mostly appealed to older, big city audiences and had trouble expanding beyond that.

Institution evaluation
Our film would be best distributed by the independent film company Curzon Artificial Eye, as they specialize in distributing low-budget, independent films like ours. They have had success distributing similar films. The film would be distributed across the UK, USA and select European countries where the plot would be understandable. Distribution methods would likely include streaming online or straight-to-DVD/video, as these have been more successful recently than theatrical releases, and appeal more to our target 15-25 age range audience. Examples like Beasts of No Nation and Mascots found success releasing initially on Netflix, showing that independent films can do well utilizing online streaming services.
British Independent Film Company - Warp Films
Warp Films is an independent film production company based in Sheffield and London that has produced notable films such as This is England and Four Lions.

This document discusses the production, distribution, and exhibition of independent cinema. It defines independent films as those funded by less than 50% from major studios. Independent films are noted for their specialized style and vision driven by individual filmmakers. They have smaller budgets than mainstream films and are exhibited through film festivals, online platforms like iTunes and Netflix, and independent distributors. The document outlines the various stages of film production and distribution methods like theatrical release, DVD/Blu-ray, online, and television. It also discusses how independent films are funded through donors and investors and screened at events to expand their audiences.
Media TASK 3...
This document discusses film distribution strategies. It explains that a distributor is responsible for releasing a film to the widest possible audience. They develop a release strategy that determines when and where the film will be shown. Distributors must secure exhibition deals with cinemas and spend money marketing the film through posters, trailers, and social media to generate interest. Large studios like Universal distribute globally and spend millions promoting major films, while independent distributors like Soda Pictures focus on more niche films with smaller budgets. The document proposes that Soda Pictures would be a good fit to distribute the independent, low-budget British film being discussed.
Genre
This document discusses genres in filmmaking and how different institutions approach film production and distribution. It explains that genre is defined by form, content, and technique. It also discusses the differences between a high budget film from a major studio versus an art house or independent film. Major studios have more money to widely distribute their films, while independent films have smaller niche audiences. The document also compares the American film conglomerate Disney, which spends over $150 million on animated films like Frozen, to British institutions like Film4 that independently fund lower budget films around $9 million like Attack the Block.
Question 3
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a film called "Delinquent". It suggests that Film4 Productions would be the ideal distributor. Film4 Productions is a British film company owned by Channel 4 that has distributed many successful UK films. It has experience working with thriller films and distributing them internationally. Film4 could advertise "Delinquent" across Channel 4's television channels and work with a major Hollywood studio for financial backing and international distribution. The document outlines how Film4 could distribute the film online, through DVD/Blu-Ray, and in cinemas to reach wide audiences.
Case studies
The document provides case studies and information about several films: Fish Tank, Ill Manors, The Hangover, and Skyfall. It includes details about directors, casts, budgets, box office figures, production and distribution companies, technological convergence aspects, and issues with national and local audiences. Cross-media promotion strategies and the impact of media ownership models (from independent to large conglomerates) on film production are also examined.
Distribution among independent films
Independent films typically do not have large budgets for theatrical releases. However, some independent films are picked up by larger distribution companies and shown in theaters. For most films with budgets under $3 million, DVD distribution was once common but online viewing platforms like Netflix, iTunes, and BitTorrent are now more typical release methods.
Some independent films are able to get distribution deals by attracting audiences with popular source material or genres. Films like Room and Carol were based on famous novels while Suffragette covered a popular British history topic.
The best online distribution platforms depend on a film's budget and goals. Netflix reaches the largest audience globally but isn't ideal for prestige films seeking awards. BitTorrent and Vimeo
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
This document discusses film distribution and provides examples of major film distribution companies. It analyzes Universal Studios and Metrodome as distribution case studies, concluding that Metrodome would be the best fit for distributing their film due to its focus on smaller, UK-based releases. Marketing strategies discussed include theatrical release, home video, trailers, interviews and promotions to appeal to their target UK audience. Self-distribution is considered but rejected in favor of an experienced distribution company.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

The Lobster
- 2. In a dystopian society, single people must find a mate within 45 days or be transformed into an animal of their choice. In order for relationships to work they acquire a common trait for example nose bleeds or a lisp. The residents at the hotel can extend their life if they can tranquilize ‘loners’ which are single people who don’t abide by the rules of society and live in the forest. Hotel Manager: Now have you thought of what animal you'd like to be if you end up alone? David: Yes. A lobster. Hotel Manager: Why a lobster? David: Because lobsters live for over one hundred years, are blue-blooded like aristocrats, and stay fertile all their lives. I also like the sea very much.
- 3. Release date: October 16, 2015 (United Kingdom) Director: Yorgos Lanthimos Production company: Film4 Productions The film is co-produced by Ireland, United Kingdom, Greece, France and the Netherlands. Distrubution company: Picturehouse Entertainment (UK) Awards: British Independent Film Award for Best Supporting Actress,more Age Rating: 15 Filming Location: Dublin, Ireland Budget: $4.5 million Money made opening weekend: $190,252 (USA) (13 May 2016) Box Office: $15.7 million.
- 5. • Posters • They have their own website in which yo u can use to take a short quiz to see what animal you are destined to be just like in the film. • On the website is also an official trailer and links to buy the soundtrack and DVD/Blu-ray. • On the website is also hyperlinks to social media accounts. • The film was widely heard about, this may have been due to having a lower budget which was mainly spent on the production of the film.
- 6. • The film was available on DVD and Blu-ray. • The film can be downloaded on Google play and watched on YouTube from £2.49 • Available to be streamed on Netflix and Amazon prime. • Can be illegally downloaded (piracy)
- 7. The film was produced by Film4. This is a big company in the UK, however globally it isn’t as known. It produces mainly British films. The film is co-produced by Ireland, United Kingdom, Greece, France and the Netherlands so this made the film more popular around the world. The film was distributed by Picturehouse Entertainment. This is also a British company. The company is known for working with famous British directors. These are all moderately small companies globally but still make successful movies. This made The lobster a smaller budget independent film.
- 8. Film4 which was the films production company worked together with other companies around the world such as: Ireland, United Kingdom, Greece, France and the Netherlands. This was beneficial as the film could make a bigger profit and also marketing was world wide therefore creating a much bigger profile for the film. The film used posters and trailers in each country, also there was a website which could be accessed in all the countries.
- 9. The film was available on DVD, Blu-ray, streaming online and download. It was shown in 2D in the cinemas, as it was a simple film with no special effects the film wouldn’t have suited the 3D format. More people buy the film on DVD now as this is cheaper however decreases the money earned for the film companies.
- 10. Films are a lot more expensive to go to the see In the cinema, but with apps such as Netflix and amazon prime, etc. Films can now be watched easier, cheaper and in the comfort of the viewers homes. The Lobster is available on these sites so can be easily accessed on many devices such as mobile phones, computer and TV. Piracy also exists so films can be illegally downloaded and watched for free creating a loss in money for the film companies.
- 11. There are a lot more devices designed to watch films on. This helps for not only how the film is viewed but also how it is marketed. The film had its own website http://thelobster-movie.com/ On the website the viewer is able to take part in a questionnaire to see what animal they would be if they faced the same circumstances as in the movie. Potential viewers would have watched trailers and found out about the film through online advertising and social media on their phones, laptops, tv’s etc.
