Question 3.
Liongate Entertainment would be the best media institution to distribute my thriller film because they have a lot of experience and success distributing popular thriller films like Jessabelle and the Saw franchise. Liongate knows how to attract the target audience of 15 years and older for 15 rated thrillers through sequels that build an ongoing success.

Distributing with Liongate would provide benefits like their proven methods for successful promotion and merchandising that ensure films reach a wide audience due to Liongate's high popularity and reputation in the industry.
Question 4
The document discusses the target audience for a horror film media product. It considers other horror film ratings which range from 15 to 18. It aims its film at a younger generation who appreciate original and creative filmmaking methods. Specifically, it targets those who prefer "mental horrors" over jump scares. The filmmakers chose a BBFC rating of 15 to ensure the film is taken seriously without seeming childish, as some content could be harmful to younger viewers. They chose the audience after completing the film so they knew what to expect and could rate it appropriately while still potentially appealing to a wide audience.

These include The Hunger Games, Cabin in the Woods, and Friends with Kids. The standard process for film distribution would involve Lions Gate making a licensing deal with theaters, distributing copies of the film, and the theaters showing it for a set engagement period.
HOLLIE BEALE TASK 3
This document discusses film distribution and options for distributing an independent teen drama/comedy film that was produced. It considers potential distribution companies like Entertainment One and StudioCanal that have experience distributing similar films. Marketing strategies are proposed like trailers, posters, and social media to promote the film. The film could appeal to both UK and broader international audiences. Self-distribution is also briefly discussed but determined to be less advantageous than using an experienced distribution company.
Question three.
Lionsgate is a suitable distribution company because it is the largest and most successful independent distributor in North America. Lionsgate is known for distributing successful thriller and horror films like the Saw franchise and Hostel films. Distributing through Lionsgate would allow the film to appeal to existing fans of those genres. Lionsgate could advertise the film on their large social media platforms like Facebook with over 2 million likes and Twitter with 58,000 followers to directly target the target 15-25 year old audience. Other distribution methods like releasing on Netflix or selling directly on digital platforms are also discussed.
Q3
Steph Webb is considering which media institution to distribute their upcoming film product. They researched companies like 20th Century Fox and Lionsgate but decided Sony Pictures would be the best choice. Sony distributes a variety of genres including romance, which is important for Steph's film. Sony also successfully distributes films according to the correct demographics for maximum efficiency. As a successful company, Sony has experience creating both small and large profits in the UK from films that were hits with their targeted audiences. Steph believes Sony would be a good choice because their film has similarities to other romance films Sony has handled previously, but also has a unique storyline that could interest Sony.
Task 3 film distibution
This document discusses film distribution and potential options for distributing a psychological thriller film. It identifies several major film distribution companies like Newmarket Films, Kaleidoscope Film Distribution, and Disney Pictures. Newmarket or Kaleidoscope would be good fits given they have experience distributing similar genre films. Marketing strategies like releasing around Halloween and creating trailers and posters on social media are also discussed. Both UK and US distribution is recommended given the film's British setting and popularity of psychological thrillers in the US.
Q3. How Do Your Products Engage With The Audience And How Would They Be Distr...
This document discusses how independent films are distributed as real media products. It explains that independent distributors like Warp Films, Verve, and Vertigo specialize in distributing independent films in theaters and on DVD. These distributors identify the target audience for a film, develop marketing campaigns, and get the film in front of audiences. Social media is also discussed as an important way to engage audiences and distribute film marketing like trailers. The role of distributors in identifying the audience and getting a film shown to theaters is summarized.
EVALUATION QUESTION THREE
Vertigo Films and Revolver Pictures would be suitable distribution companies for the independently produced thriller film "The Vine Project" because both companies specialize in distributing similar low-budget, independent films in both the UK and US markets. Vertigo Films in particular has experience distributing films from the same thriller genre. Releasing the film first through online streaming platforms as well as film festivals could help build an audience without large marketing costs before a wider theatrical release in October to capitalize on Halloween interest in horror films.
Question 3
The group chose New Line Cinema to distribute their psychological thriller due to its respected reputation in the thriller genre. New Line Cinema has distributed many successful thrillers like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Conjuring, and A Nightmare on Elm Street that appeal to wide audiences. Similarly, the group's opening scene "In Her Scent" is also a psychological thriller. Choosing New Line Cinema will help match audience expectations of the film's genre and potentially help it find audiences based on the company's fanbase and history of distributing thrillers like Annabelle and Leatherface.
Question 3
Showtime Networks would be a good potential distributor for the film because they have experience distributing similar thriller genres that deal with bullying and crime stories. Showtime Networks distributes films and TV shows like Scream and Bang Bang You're Dead, which the film is based on. They understand how to market and distribute this type of film. While self-distribution could allow keeping all profits, it would be very time consuming without the industry connections that distributors have.
Task 3 distribution
This document discusses film distribution. It explains that distribution involves promoting and selling a film through various methods like trailers, screenings, and social media advertising. Films can be distributed to cinemas or for home entertainment on DVD, Blu-ray, TV, and streaming services. Big studios have their own distribution companies, while independent films rely on smaller third-party distributors. The document suggests a small independent distributor like Cinema NX may be suited to a low-budget crime thriller like the film being discussed. It proposes a UK-only marketing strategy and spring release for the film. Self-distribution is also mentioned but noted to be difficult for inexperienced independent filmmakers.
Unit 6: Learning Aim B & C (Resub)
The document provides details about planning and marketing a film called "The Replacement". It discusses the target audience, rating, and planned release date of Halloween. Marketing strategies that will be used include posters, a trailer, and an Instagram page. Teaser posters will be released first to build interest, followed by the Instagram launch. Finally, the full trailer will be released. The campaign will start a year before the November 2020 release date. Feedback on initial posters was positive but suggested improving the background blending. The completed marketing timeline and examples of teaser posters and the Instagram page are also included.
Question 3 evaluation
The document discusses film distribution companies associated with post-apocalyptic films. It notes that The Book of Eli was distributed by Warner Bros and 28 Days Later was distributed by 20th Century Fox, both major popular companies. The author's film "Forsaken" follows conventions of major post-apocalyptic films and they hope it could be distributed by 20th Century Fox, as they distribute worldwide which would help the film gain a larger audience. Alternatively, they hope it could be distributed by Warner Bros like The Book of Eli.

Analysis of other artist’s websites
The document discusses analyzing other artists' websites to inform the creation of an artist website for a course assignment. It examines the website of Icona Pop in detail, highlighting various standard sections like the homepage, blog, music, videos, tour dates, and merchandise store. Key conventions noted include prominently featuring the artist's logo and including recent music videos and singles to engage visitors. The analysis suggests the new artist website will include similar standard sections but tailored for the starting artist Tove Lo, with a focus on her major songs and videos to make the site more conventional.

Research into music channels
MTV was first launched in 1981 and played music videos 24/7, guided by on-air personalities known as video jockeys. The original purpose of MTV was to play music videos non-stop. While the main MTV channel no longer focuses on music videos, spin-off channels like MTV Hits and MTV Jams do still play videos. From 1995 to 2000, MTV played 36.5% fewer music videos as the novelty wore off, requiring MTV to reinvent itself for contemporary audiences. Today, MTV airs mostly reality TV shows rather than music videos.

Music labels
The document discusses record labels and their role in the music industry. It defines a record label as a company that markets, distributes, and promotes music recordings and videos. The three largest record labels are Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group. Some smaller, niche labels discussed are 4AD, Captured Tracks, and Constellation Records.
The History of Music Videos
Music videos started in the late 1930s with live TV performances by artists like Elvis Presley. In the 1940s, "Soundies" were early music videos that played on visual jukeboxes. The first music video made specifically for television aired in 1956 of Tony Bennett walking in a park. The Beatles helped establish the music video genre with films for their songs in the 1960s. Today, music videos are primarily used to market artists and are most commonly viewed on websites like YouTube rather than TV channels.

What kind of media institution might describe your
- 1. What kind of media institution might describe your media product and why ?
- 2. A distribution company that is most likely to distribute my film is Lionsgate
- 3. Lionsgate have produced and distributed mainly thriller movies and horror films. A few films that are similar to mine that they’ve produced are: • The Cabin in the Woods • You’re Next • Saw • A Love Song for Bobby Long
- 6. Lionsgate would then create a marketing routine to help promote the film by creating a buzz amongst the target audience and would launch the film once people know about it. As Lionsgate is an independent distribution company therefore my film would have quite a small budget of around $8-12mil. With this budget, awareness of the film would be created through social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
- 7. In addition to this, 3 promotional posters will be released all with highly positive quotes of the film on their to attract the audience to come and watch the film. In addition to this, a trailer will be released 4 months prior to the release of the film in the hope that the audience ‘awareness’ turns into ‘I definitely want to see this film’. As a result of this, the trailer will definitely give them a taste of what the film is all about hopefully persuading the audience to come and watch. For example, just like this poster: By placing positive quotes about the film that are sourced by well- known newspapers and other media outlets, this persuades the audience to come and watch the film. If these newspapers are claiming that the film is good then surely others will be persuaded by this to come and watch it.
