The group researched psychological thriller films and found that Warner Brothers was a common major distributor. Warner Brothers had distributed successful psychological thrillers like The Orphan and Copycat. The group decided Warner Brothers would be the best choice to distribute their film because films they distributed had large budgets and earned close to double their budgets. A large budget would allow for better production quality and marketing. Warner Brothers' experience distributing similar films would also help the group make a memorable and effective film. Choosing a major well-known distributor like Warner Brothers would help publicize and promote the film, increasing the chances of success and profit.

Warner Brothers would be the best distributor for the film because they have successfully distributed many psychological thriller films in the past with large budgets. Their experience distributing films in this genre would help the film succeed and they have the resources to promote the film widely in theaters. Choosing a major distributor like Warner Brothers over a small independent one would give the film a better chance of being shown in cinemas rather than just released online or straight to DVD.Aa ron paul

Television was the most effective media outlet for promoting Need for Speed due to the ability to broadcast trailers and gain viewership of both the target audience and general public. Aaron Paul appeared on shows like Top Gear to promote the film and link it to themes of cars. His appearance at E3, which was streamed online, was also clever as it targeted fans of the video game series. Aaron Paul was chosen for the lead role as a relatively new but popular actor from Breaking Bad who could appeal to both male fans of the franchise and young women.Q5

The document discusses how the filmmakers used questionnaires on Facebook before and after creating their horror film to evaluate how well they addressed their target audience. The pre-production questionnaire provided insights that informed the film, while the post-production questionnaire assessed how audience expectations were met. Both questionnaires identified the film genre as horror. The film was also found acceptable for ages 15+ by keeping it less gory and limiting strong language. While responses on who would watch varied before, feedback after was more positive. The filmmakers aimed to subvert stereotypes with three female leads but included a male villain to seem more intimidating. Overall, the questionnaires provided useful feedback to evaluate the film's success in addressing its intended audience.What have you learned from your audience feedback

Our film targets 10-17 year olds who have a passion for football dreams, as the main plot follows an aspirational young boy pursuing his football dream despite struggles. It will also appeal to older, ambitious viewers through its message of perseverance. As an independent film with limited advertising budget, we used mainly social media to promote the film through posters, trailers and reviews. We also screened the film at festivals and played the trailer at sports and youth centers to attract interested audiences. The relatively popular cast and exciting trailers helped grab our target audiences' attention.Question 3

A film distributor is a company that releases films to theaters, TV, and online platforms. They promote the film and arrange showings. For a low budget independent film, a smaller, more independent distributor would be more affordable and could still successfully promote and distribute the film. Examples given of low budget films that did well with smaller distributors include Paranormal Activity and Four Weddings and a Funeral. Fox Searchlight Pictures is mentioned as a distributor that specializes in independent and British films and has had successes with low budget films.Lo3 captin america

This document discusses and compares the marketing of several films:
1) Captain America had very successful marketing due to its connection to the Avengers franchise and large comic book fan base. Extensive marketing included posters, websites, trailers, and TV ads.
2) The marketing for The Thing was also extensive, but it failed to attract audiences due to competition from other popular films and a lack of recognizable stars and brand.
3) 50/50 used star Seth Rogen to attract both comedy and drama audiences by blending humor with the serious topic of cancer. This diverse marketing approach helped make it a successful film.How did you attract/address your audience?

The primary audience for the film is 10-17 year olds who have a burning desire to pursue their dreams of becoming footballers. The film will appeal to this age range through its plot of a young boy pursuing his football dream despite struggles. It also contains exciting scenes like accidents and bullying. There is also a secondary audience of older, ambitious viewers who can relate to the inspirational story of persevering despite feeling defeated. As an independent film, low-cost marketing strategies like social media, film festivals, blogs, playing the trailer in sports-related places, and free radio interviews were used to promote the film to its target audiences.

It suggests that a major film distributor would be best suited to distribute the film, which is an action genre film about a girl kidnapped by a drug organization.

Major film distributors play a crucial role in marketing and circulating films through theaters and home video platforms. They decide the film's advertising strategy, which is important for generating interest. For independent films, distributors are even more important because the films are less well known and don't usually have big stars. Film festivals like Sundance are important for independent films to get noticed by distributors. The filmmaker believes their film could be distributed by major Hollywood studios like New Line Cinema, Sony, Lionsgate, or Universal, as it is a thriller centered on a female protagonist - a genre that has found success.

1) The document evaluates different options for distributing a film, including large conglomerate companies, independent distributors, and alternative methods like online streaming services.
2) While conglomerates offer name recognition and wide distribution, they are hard to work with and may take creative control. Independent distributors allow more profit and control but smaller reach.
3) The best option is distributing through an online streaming service like Netflix for a fast growing global audience, followed by the independent British distributor Warp Films. This balances wide release with maintaining the film's identity.Evaluation question 3

This document discusses the stages of film production and distribution. It focuses on who could distribute a low-budget independent film. Film 4 is identified as a potential distributor because they have a reputation for distributing independent films that find success, including those targeting younger audiences. While Film 4 distributes similar horror genres, the film's lack of experience and professional quality make it a risk. Online distribution is proposed to help the film gain exposure and potentially move to channels like Film 4.Evaluation post 3

The production team for the film called themselves 'Deadwood Productions' to reflect the horror genre and setting of their zombie film. They created planning documents like the plot, character profiles, and prop list to pitch the project to distributors. They chose StudioCanal as their distributor because as an independent subsidiary of a major company, they could effectively target the niche audience. The production team aimed to first release the film in theaters to boost profits, then on DVD and subscription TV to expand the audience and build success over time. They felt the BBFC rating should be 15 due to mild language, gore, violence and scenes depicting underage drinking.HOLLIE BEALE TASK 3

The document discusses potential distribution partners for a low-budget independent horror film. It analyzes why several major studios like Paramount, Disney, and 20th Century Fox would likely not be suitable partners given the film's genre and budget. It identifies Film4 as a good potential partner because they distribute a wide variety of genres including horror, they work with independent films, and their target UK audience would be a good match. Film4's reputation in the industry could help attract audiences. The document also discusses advertising the film online through its website and YouTube channel as well as pursuing film festivals and cinema screenings to build awareness and audiences.Evaluation Activity 3

The document discusses the importance of credits at the beginning of films. It explains that the production company chose to list the director first in the credits because the director plays one of the most important roles in overseeing the production process and ensuring everything runs smoothly. The cinematographer is listed after the director to highlight their skills and experience so other directors can see their abilities. Although the actors are listed last in the beginning credits, they will still be prominently featured at the end.Question 3

The document discusses distributing a romantic comedy film production through Universal Studios. Universal is described as a major studio capable of distributing films to mass audiences. Some of Universal's most successful romantic comedies distributed, like Mamma Mia, are cited as examples of their ability to profit from film distributions. While Universal could distribute the film internationally, the document argues the romantic comedy may be best suited to a UK audience and distributed primarily in Britain initially alongside the production company. YouTube is also proposed as a way to distribute an opening and gain feedback to help determine interest before a wider release.Q3.

The survey results showed that more female students aged 16-18 with part-time jobs watch music videos than males. Pink and Bruno Mars were favorite pop artists. Narrative music videos featuring stories were preferred. Most audience members use YouTube converters to purchase music, though some prefer iTunes for quality. Social media does not generally influence music tastes, but can help discover independent artists. The task helped establish the target audience which will inform creating a Voki and rate card, and later evaluating the music video's audience.

Psychological thrillers commonly use certain conventions in their mise-en-scene, sound, and camera work/editing to build tension and suspense. Settings are often in cities or confined indoor spaces like houses or offices to limit characters. Costuming typically features the antagonist in dark, smart clothes while the protagonist wears brighter colors. Low lighting, mirrors as props, and non-diegetic high tension music or silence are employed. Quick editing, mid shots and close ups are used to show characters' emotions and relate tension. Flashbacks provide backstory while fast pacing keeps audiences on edge.Evaluation target audiences

The group researched psychological thriller films and found that Warner Brothers was a common major distributor. Warner Brothers had distributed successful psychological thrillers like The Orphan and Copycat. The group decided Warner Brothers would be the best choice to distribute their film because films they distributed had large budgets and earned close to double their budgets. A large budget would allow for better production quality and marketing. Warner Brothers' experience distributing similar films would also help the group make a memorable and effective film. Choosing a major well-known distributor like Warner Brothers would help publicize and promote the film, increasing the chances of success and profit.Evaluation task one

The analysis describes the opening scene which starts with credits over a black background with ominous music. It then shows a ballerina dancing on a lit stage with contrasting dark background. The scene cuts between shots of her feet and body as she dances to the music. A male dancer then joins and seems to stalk her as the music becomes more tense. They engage in a dramatic dance before he leaves her alone on the stage.Black swan

- 2. In our research and planning stages, as a group, we found out after looking at several different psychological thrillers, that one of the most common distribution companies were Warner Brother Pictures. Warner Brothers have distributed films such as ‘The Orphan' in 2009 and the American psychological thriller 'Copycat'. Many more well known films like Inception, Argo, the Shining and Usual Suspects. So from this research we decided that Warner brothers would be the best and most suitable choice to distribute our media film opening. The main reason for this is because both’ The Orphan’ and ‘Copycat’ had large budgets and both of these films nearly doubled their budget money. By having such a large budget allows films to have the best equipment, A-listed actors and sets. This would be ideal for our film as it would give us more opportunity to create a more realistic atmosphere for our audience. As Warner Brothers have had previous experience in making psychological thrillers, this would give us an advantage as they have the knowledge and skills to create a memorable and effective film. As previous Warner Brother films have been successful, this would automaticity give us an advantage in the film industry. By having a well known distributor it would play an important role in whether or not our film becomes successful or not. If we didn’t have a well know global distributor it would be hard to publicise our film opening to our audience, and we wouldn’t make any profit. Also by our audience knowing who our film distributor is gives us another advantage as they automatically know that they’ve previously had successful films before which have reached box office. This could potentially make them want to watch our film more and they’d more than likely want to go and watch our film at the cinema. This is another advantage of having a well known distributor or because it’s easier to get your film into the cinemas. If we had have chosen a small independent film distributor then our film would have probably either gone straight to DVD online. This would have meant that we would have to viral advertise our film by using social media websites like Twitter, MySpace and Facebook. The only means for our audience to watch our film would be online on websites like Indiefilms.com. This would mean that our film would get less profit. This is why it is better to have a big global distributing company. What kind of media institution might distribute your film and why?
