Film distribution is the third part of the film supply chain and involves marketing and circulating completed films to audiences. A film distributor acts as an agent between the film production company and audiences. Distribution methods include promoting films in theaters, on DVD/Blu-ray, television, and merchandise. Successful Hollywood films can earn $120 million from box office and $60 million from DVD distribution, as well as $50 million from merchandising. The UK distribution business works to deliver large audiences for diverse film genres across local markets. Major film distribution companies include Universal, Paramount, Warner Bros., Disney, Sony, and others.

Film 4 would be the most likely media institution to distribute the media product because it supports independent UK filmmakers and has distributed many successful small-scale British films. As a company that funds productions targeting local audiences, Film 4 provides opportunities for independent films to reach audiences and gain recognition in the industry. Other options for independent film distribution include smaller companies like Microwave that provide funding to promote young UK filmmakers, as well as national lottery grants awarded by the BFI to encourage British film production and distribution.US Film Industry 2016

The US film industry is dominated by a small number of large conglomerates that own film production studios, distribution companies, television networks and other media properties. This level of vertical and horizontal integration gives them control over the entire filmmaking process and allows them to promote their films across multiple platforms. In contrast, the British film industry relies on co-productions and distribution deals with Hollywood studios, meaning creative and financial control often rests with American companies. As a result, decisions that affect the British industry are influenced more by US audiences tastes and the goals of maximizing profits for American conglomerates.Uk film industry as media

The British film industry has experienced several booms and recessions since the 1930s. In the 1990s, costume dramas and comedies like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Brassed Off found success. National Lottery funding and the British Film Council provided support. Key choices for the industry included low-budget films for mainstream British and art house audiences, as well as international co-productions. A successful film industry is important for Britain's economy, bringing in much of its revenue from outside the UK. Government support and production companies have aided development, though partnerships with US distributors are often needed to achieve large profits.Film Production Cycle

The key stages of the film process are production, distribution, marketing, and exhibition/consumption.
During production, a production company creates the film through pre-production, production, and post-production. Distribution involves releasing and sustaining the film in the marketplace through techniques like wide release, platform release, and limited release. Marketing employs strategies such as trailers, advertisements, publicity events, and product tie-ins to promote the film. Finally, exhibition makes the film experience available to audiences through cinema screenings and home media like DVDs, streaming, and TV broadcasts.Film distribution

Film distribution institutions are companies that distribute films to audiences through various means like merchandise, advertising, and cinema releases. They act as intermediaries between the film industry and consumers, finding ways to deliver films to audiences via DVD, cinema screenings, and streaming services. Independent film companies like Vertigo Films aim to reduce the dominance of American films by distributing low-budget films that might not otherwise get exposure. The document discusses using Harambe Productions as the distribution company for a film since they focus on low-budget films and promoting non-American cultural works.Presentation3 distribution

The document discusses potential media institutions to distribute the low-budget independent British film "Coldstream" based on its target audience of 15-25 year olds and limited budget. It considers Film 4, Vertigo Films, and Lionsgate as options, noting Film 4's Oscar-winning successes, Vertigo's diverse genres and box office hit Street Dance 3D, and Lionsgate's productions of The Hunger Games trilogy and Twilight saga films. Social media is suggested as a cost-effective marketing method for "Coldstream" to reach its target audience.Film Funding Research

This document discusses various methods of funding small feature films in the UK. It outlines organizations like the BFI, Creative Skillset, and Film London that provide grants and funding. The BFI invests over 贈26 million annually from lottery funds. Creative Skillset offers craft and technical bursaries up to 贈8,000. Film London provides micro budgets of 贈1,000 and funding for community screenings. Crowdfunding and certain charities may also contribute to film production budgets if the film brings awareness to their cause. The conclusion recommends applying to the BFI for its large funding amounts and support for new filmmakers.The film process

Bulldog Film Distribution would be the most suitable distributor for the filmmaker's media product. As an independent UK film distributor, Bulldog focuses on smaller films that it distributes across all platforms in the UK only. This narrow scope makes films like the filmmaker's, which has a British nature, more likely to be considered. In contrast, large Hollywood studios like Warner Bros have an exclusively large global scope and budget that does not align with the filmmaker's smaller-scale project.Media Ownership

Film distribution involves making a film available to audiences through various methods like cinema, television, or DVD. It may also include promoting the film if it is for commercial purposes. There are two types of film distributors - major studios that have global offices and distribute their own films, and independent distributors that have to sell films to different distributors in each country or territory since they have fewer offices and locations. Some examples of major UK distributors mentioned are Warner Bros, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Universal, Walt Disney, Lionsgate, and StudioCanal.Production cycle

Media ownership has a great impact on the range of products available to audiences in the film industry. Major media conglomerates like Warner Bros. and Disney, which own film studios as well as distribution channels like cinemas and music labels, can produce and widely promote a large number of films. They have the financial resources to invest heavily in large-budget blockbusters and market them across their various properties. In contrast, small independent film companies have more limited financing and distribution options, so they produce far fewer films that are often aimed at niche audiences. The dominance of large conglomerates shapes the film industry and market in favor of big-budget Hollywood productions.Global institutions and global audiences

Global institutions like Disney dominate media production through their vast financial resources that allow extensive marketing and distribution worldwide. However, independent films can still succeed globally with a quality product like "The King's Speech", which earned over $400 million despite a smaller budget and target audience. While institutions produce most films, independent companies demonstrate there is appetite for alternatives through viral marketing and a compelling story. Overall, global institutions largely control media production, but independent films can still achieve influence.Distribution research

A film distributor is responsible for marketing and exhibiting a film by setting its release date and making it available for viewing in theaters and home video formats. Distributors either directly own theaters and distribution networks or work with exhibitors and sub-distributors to release films. They acquire rights to films and cover all costs of printing, advertising, and negotiating percentage deals with cinema owners based on the film's size. Distributors find new films at festivals and markets, require proper contracts, and distribute films through both major studio networks and independent channels without formal connections between producers and exhibitors.Evaluation question 2

It analyzes large institutions like Warner Bros, Disney, and Universal Studios that have huge budgets and widespread marketing and distribution capabilities. It also discusses smaller independent companies like Working Title Films and Bedlam Productions that have more limited budgets. The document concludes that for a large-scale thriller film, Universal Studios would be the best choice due to its large budget, successful history distributing thrillers like Psycho, and potential for huge profits.Media pp

An independent distributor like Warp Films would be a good match for the media product because it is an independent film company based in Sheffield that distributes DVDs and some films theatrically. As the film is set locally and aimed at teenagers and young adults, an independent distributor focused on a similar audience could successfully distribute it, as other independent horror films like Sinister and The Ring that targeted this demographic have been very successful. A major studio like Warner Bros could also distribute the film widely due to its large budget and wide-reaching distribution channels, but it may be a better fit for an independent company.Ownership in Media

It discusses how Working Title Films was founded in 1984 and began as a small, independent production company co-producing films with Channel 4. It achieved success with films like My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) but struggled financially. Working Title then began pursuing co-productions with American studios like Universal to gain financial stability and access to international markets. This template of British films with American stars became Working Title's model and led to massive commercial hits like Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994).

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.

When targeting audiences for films, producers must consider both global and local appeal. For The Hobbit, Peter Jackson appealed to a global audience through casting well-known British and Hollywood actors and filming in New Zealand. The Fifth Estate attempted to appeal to both American and European audiences but failed globally due to its subject matter. Shifty appealed more to a UK audience through its low-budget, British-focused casting and crew. Distribution is also key - The Hobbit succeeded through global distribution while Shifty's local distribution limited its reach.The film industry today jtw key terms

Distributors must consider competition, whether a film is a blockbuster or niche, and star power when planning release strategies like saturation or limited releases. Distribution costs can range from thousands to 贈4-5 million depending on elements like prints, advertising, and talent. Small distributors like Vertigo Films and Film 4 specialize in low budget British films.Film distribution

The document discusses film exhibition in the UK. It explains that exhibition involves films being shown in cinemas as well as through various ancillary markets like VOD, DVD, streaming, and TV. The arrival of multiplex cinemas in the UK in 1985 disrupted the market by offering more screens and choice but also caused many small independent cinemas to close. Major film studios and exhibitors practice synergy by coordinating the release of a film across multiple platforms like movies, merchandise, and games to maximize profits.

Sony is a large international conglomerate that produced and distributed the James Bond film 'Skyfall'. As a major Hollywood studio, Sony was able to utilize extensive cross-promotion across its various business divisions, including music, games, and consumer electronics. It also had the financial resources and industry clout to engage in widespread early publicity campaigns. In contrast, smaller independent films have far more limited marketing budgets and opportunities for synergistic promotion.L2A&1

Film distribution is the process of making a movie available for audiences to view. A film distributor is responsible for marketing the film and distribution deals are important for financing films. Distribution methods include theatrical releases, film festivals, trailers, posters, TV advertisements, social media, DVDs, and streaming sites. For a micro-budget independent film like Abridged without stars, it would be difficult to get distribution from major companies. Smaller distributors focused on independent films may be more appropriate. The filmmakers plan to promote Abridged using social media sites like Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr with a trailer and hashtag campaign.Recently uploaded (20)

Film distribution
- 2. What is it? Distribution is the third part of film supply chain and the most important part of the film industry as the completed films are connected with the audience. Distribution is about releasing and sustaining films in the public to gain an overall profit. A film distributer acts like an agent to the film production company to get the finished product out there. Distribution refers to the marketing and circulation of movies in cinemas, and for home viewing such as TV, DVD, video on demand and many more.
- 3. Distribution Involves Some ways movies are distributed to the public include: Promoting films (Trailers, posters, billboards etc) Getting them into the cinema On DVD or Blue ray Watching on the TV, planes or on IPods etc. Spin offs or related products (merchandise, clothing etc) A successful Hollywood movie can make around $120m from the box office and can make $60m from distributing dvds. As well as this merchandising can then generate around $50m and over depending on the film.
- 4. Distribution in the UK In the UK distribution is focussed on marketing and sustaining a global product in local markets. The distribution business in the UK have to deliver the largest possible audience for every film type of genre. This can be a challenge as people now use home cinema set ups or even dvd or vod. And considering the UK cinemas release about 500 titles or more every year creates pressure to attract audiences to the cinema. Distribution Process
- 5. Releasing Patterns Not every movie released are high quality Hollywood blockbusters and so depending on the type of film they are released very differently. Saturation- Backed by Hollywood, many prints are made (600-800) theyre screened at big multiplexes and have huge publicity releases. Wide Release- 100 prints made, multiplex and independent cinemas, gradual releases. Limited Releases- 10-20 prints, known as art house small independent or foreign films
- 6. Vertical and Horizontal Integration Vertical Integration: This is when a company expands into areas of different points within the same production path like when a manufacturer owns its suppliers or distributers. This can help companies reduce costs and transportation expenses. Horizontal Integration: These different firms are involved in the same stage of production, horizontal integration allows them to share resources at the same level.
