Distributors

Independent film distributors

1) Research film distribution using this guide from the UK Film Distributors' Association. It's called Launching Film and takes you through the whole process of distributing a movie.
- Summarise the 10 steps of film distribution in a list using your own words.

  • A film can influence and be interpreted in many different ways
  • Identifying the largest audience for each film
  • Build interest and awareness to the film
  • People who handle films be it independent or Hollywood related
  • Distributer acquire films from third party sales agents or studios that have negotiated a deal with the distributors
  • Formal contract is sign that allows distributors to promote the film
  • After deal is signed, distributors have an idea of what to expect or may even be able to see the final product.
  • Distributors have to market a film carefully taking into consideration of its target audience and the timing.
  • Distributors have to promote the film in ways that can get a potential audience taking things like posters and trailer into consideration
  • They then have to decide where they screen the films depending on their intended audience and whether or not it is suitable or not.

Exhibition: Arthouse cinemas

Find some London-based arthouse cinemas and research the following:

There is an arthouse cinema called electric cinema that has an edwardian feel to it and shows mainstream and arthouse films and is based in Notting Hill, London. This week they are showing the films Sully, The Grinch + Christmas party, It's a Wonderful Life and Rogue One: A Star Wars story 3D. Their programme differs to majr cinema's like vue because they dont just focus on the big hollywood movies That everyone would know about due to major advertising. I believe that the type of audience that attend this kind of arthouse cinema are people who are like the niche content as well as the mainstream films because it shows a mixture of them for example Sully is a mainstream film that recieved a box office of 200.7 million USD. Based on the on the film rating it is obvious that the target audience is open to most ages as the recent film screenings show films that are rated PG or 12A etc.

Another arthouse cinema would be Regent Street Cinema and is situated in Marylebone, London. The films they are showing this week are Frozen, Nocturnal Animals and A Single Man. Their programmes differ from a major cinema chains because They have a bar in which it allows the audience to sit and talk about the film before and after they have seen it. Which is not something that is usually done in major cinema chains where the audience dont sit after to discuss the film they just watched. From the website i believe that the type of audience that they are targetting are people over 12 more towards the older generation from about 18+ as they have a bar where it is only legal to drink when your 18. however there is also a hint that they even aim to appeal at a younger audience as they have films that are PG and also a tab that leads to Community and Education which suggests that it is also student friendly.

Focus Group Evaluation

Feedback

Our initial idea was based around the genre of horror/thriller and the subgenres of dystopia. What our video is going to be about a society in where males and females are separated and sexual relations between them is illegal due to a disease that is spread quite easily. The main character in our video is going to be a female and what she is seen doing is sitting in a café and ends up spiking the male characters drink and then takes him to a place in order to test on him. This subverts gender roles and how females are usually portrayed in the media. Also, it links to the idea of date rape and how men are usually the ones to spike a women’s drink. The female character is first portrayed as an antagonist as she spikes the man’s drink but later on it is made clear that she did that in order to test on him so that she can find a cure to the disease that is being spread between the sexes.

We were thinking our target audience was going to be mainly focussed on the younger teenagers at around 15 to about 19. This is due to the fact that the characters will be of their age and they will be able to identify with them and also in the sense that our video involves themes like STD’s and date rape. This will help enforce the fact that they need to be careful about these things. Our audience is likely to be split 60/40 female to male ratio, as it will most likely appeal to a female audience since the protagonist is a female and is going about trying to figure out a cure.

In terms of the actual filming we were thinking of trying to make how we film the video similar to Three Colors: Blue. The cinematography and how close ups and extreme close ups are used to portray the narrative of the film. The slow paced editing in order to make sure that the fact that this is an Arthouse film can be conveyed. What makes our narrative an Arthouse film is the fact that it doesn't have a positive resolution to it and that she doesn't find a cure to the disease. This is similar to the film It Follows where it doesn't show what happens and just ends on a cliff-hanger where there is no new equilibrium formed and leaves the audience with a lot of enigma codes, which is what we aim to create in the audience's mind in our extract.

After we presented our idea to the focus group we received various feedback and improvement that we took into consideration. Firstly, due to our narrative being slightly complicated we were asked how the audience would understand the disease and the fact that it is sexually transmitted. The age rating for the video has to stay within the 15 rate guidelines. Therefore we are able to portray this behaviour without any detail to it. So in response to that we suggested that at the beginning of the video we will show two couples beginning to get intimate and then them two going into a room and soon after they are seen with foam coming out of their mouth which shows that they have been infected with the deadly disease. In addition to this we were also recommended to suggest sex in a more subtle way as many different films have been able to do over the years. This is where I thought it would be interesting to use our idea of the cinematography on Three Colors: Blue and maybe film the room in close ups of certain objects and medium shots.

Next we were suggested to make the disease limited to a certain age group in order to make it easier to film without manipulating a lot of things when filming and making it less complicated. This is because we will be using a café as a setting somewhere in London most likely. So it’s an open place and we cannot control what other people are doing. Also because it is much for reaching out to our target audience as it is as if it is speaking directly to them.

We were also told to take into consideration of additional themes that can be brought up due to what our storyline is and that is things such as homosexuality in prisons as an example. Another way we could show that there is a disease being spread is by having flyers being handed out that shows detail of how the government is separating the two genders in order to protect them but aren’t doing enough to stop the disease as a whole.

BBFC Institution research

BBFC


1) Research the BBFC: what is the institution responsible for? How is it funded? What link does it have to government?

This institution is responsible for classifying the age rating for a film, video, DVD's and even video games. The BBFC is not a profit based business as they are funded solely by their services. They are linked to the government by their financial affairs which is run by the Council of Management.

2) Read this BBFC guide to how films are rated. Summarise the process in 50 words.


The Board’s age ratings decisions are reached by consensus Examiners watch films in the BBFC’s cinema for the full experience and watch DVD’s in viewing rooms on a plasma TV to get the home viewing feel. Films in different languages are viewed the same way with an interpreter sitting beside the Examiner as there are no subtitles. Examiners log details of the film in relation to the guidelines. Brief synopsis’ are written based on the work. Decisions that are difficult to come to a conclusion to are referred to the senior examiner or often brought up in the weekly examiners meeting to get other opinions. Illegal material or unacceptable content, the BBFC write up a list of cuts. Rarely do they reject content.

3) Read this BBFC outline of the issues faced when classifying a film. Summarise the debate in 50 words.


The issues the BBFC face when classifying a film is that they have to take into consideration hat they are not causing the potential viewers any moral harm as well as harm that may result from their behaviour.  They have to make sure it remains within the laws. They have to take into account of the target audience who its more likely to appeal to when giving the work an age raging. Also the tone of the work can affect the decision as if it contains dark themes it may receive more strict ratings compared to films that don’t for example rom coms. Alongside considering the relevant legislation, the main age rating issues that need to be taken into account include.. Violence, Sex, Sexual Violence, Drugs, Horror, Imitable Behaviour, Discrimination, Language

4) Read this BBFC section on controversial decisions. Why did The Dark Knight generate a large amount of media coverage regarding its certificate? Do you agree with the 12A certificate The Dark Knight was awarded?

The dark knight received so much criticism because viewers said their was too much violence for it to be a 12A. Personally I believe that the age rating is fine for the film as the violence isn't that detailed. They don't focus too much on the little things like blood as much also when there is a scene of gun violence it is concealed by making it look darker so the audience cant see the bullet hit the person. 




5) What are the guidelines for a 15 certificate?


In order for a film to be ate 15 IT must stay within the guidelines in terms of violence.

There can be violence but the details of the inflicted pain shouldn’t be of focus. Gory and implication of sadistic violence will usually be unaccepted unless strongly justified. There may be some sexual violence indicated. Depending on the manner in which is it used Very strong language may be permitted. As for sex and nudity it can be portrayed but however in a somewhat discreet way where there are no details that are being focussed on. The work should not encourage drug abuse/use and discriminatory behaviours however some discriminatory themes and language in the film is accepted. Imitable behaviour should not be focussed on regardless of whether it is needed for realism.


6) The BBFC website offers an explanation of every classification it makes and detailed case studies on selected titles. Choose one 15-rated film from the BBFC case studies section and summarise the classification the film was given and why. 

Attack the block

This film is rated a 15 and this is because firstly it appealed to the older teenage audience from the tone of the work and setting. What made It a 15 was the continuous use of strong language which isn’t permitted for it to e a 12A rating. Also the violence shown in the film is also quite strong as there are characters that get hurt by the aliens or even killed in bloody ways. However it doesn’t endorse the use of weapons as the film makes it clear that the use is solely for the purpose of self protection from the alien characters.  Drugs were also made to seem normal which brought up conflict in the decision however, it didn’t glamorise the use of drugs between young people.

United 93

Review

At the beginning of the film you have a birds-eye angle, establishing shot to introduce the setting of the film. This is significant because it suggests that the film will have something to do with planes as they are also at that height and it also makes the audience feel like they are seeing the city from the view of the plane which is a good way to start of the film by suturing the audience into the narrative. Another way this is done is when there are scenes on the plane and the camera is shaky which gives it a more realistic feel. It also, makes the audience feel almost suffocated in the plane along with the other characters. This makes it easier for the audience to imagine what they might feel like if they were in the same situation which in turn allows the audience to identify with the characters.

The non-diegetic sound is added once the tension starts to build up and things start to go bad. This builds up enigma codes within the audience as they wonder what could be happening. Their doubts are then answered when at one point the word hijack is mentioned. At the beginning of the film there is a hint at action codes when the man carries a knife and puts it in his pocket. This tells the audience that someone might get stabbed and that there will also be other violent behaviour later in the film.

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

MEST2: Existing product research






In this extract you can see it begins with a medium close up of the two characters entering the room, it then slowly pans to the left see we see the wall and whats on it. This last for about 10 seconds which when you watch it is long for a shot that isn't showing much. This can suggest this is a very calmed and relaxed scene and nothing exciting will happen. This can be further explained by the sound playing in the background. The non-diegetic sound which may come across as diegetic sound to confuse the audience, adds to and is parallel to the calming atmosphere that is being created along with the slow camera movement. The 180 degree rule was being used with the over the shoulder shots as they spoke to each other. What i noticed is that every time the camera switched to the other person it would get closer to the persons face. It began with and over the shoulder, medium long shot of the characters talking. This emphasised the fact that they are sitting very far from each other and the fact that at the bottom of the screen it said 'day 1 of doomed friendship' suggests that they aren't that close hence why there is a lot of space between them. It then becomes a medium shot of just one character which could show that they are starting to get comfortable with each other and there is also a bit more dialogue between them. Eventually, it is a medium close up on their faces which suggests that over time they will become close. This is also implied by how they are both at one ends of the screen and every time the camera straight cuts to the other character it is as if they are sitting next to each other. The fact that the editing pace is very slow makes it seem like the 'dying girl' isn't thinking about the fact that she is dying and is in no rush to do anything yet. The mise-en-scene makes it clear to us what kind of genre the film is, from the costume of the character you can understand that it is a drama film as they dress very casual and it is what the audience are used to seeing in their ever day lives. Also the setting is set around the school grounds. The lighting is used is high key lighting to show that it is a realistic film and that it is based on real life. There are no props used to make it clear that its any other genre other than drama.

This film is rated PG-13. I think this film is rated this because of the fact that it is based on people who are still in school and therefore they couldn't make the film very inappropriate as school kids are not meant to be involved with things like that. Also, the fact that the older generation would not particularly be interested in watching young kids in school however may watch it because their kids want to. I feel as though the age range would be abut 14- 20's mainly and that this would appeal more to a female audience.

It Follows

MEST2: Existing product research



This extract of It follows begins with a pan towards the left side of the screen that is slow. This could be used to emphasise the current atmosphere as calm as there is nothing happening at the moment. The sound bridge of the teacher speaking as it pans to the girl makes the audience listen to what the teacher is saying. Eventually, when the antagonist is first seen out the window in a long shot. The non-diegetic sound of the music becomes parallel to the situation which makes it clear to the audience that whatever is happening is bad and therefore builds up tension and enigma codes in their minds and also adds to the mysterious chilling effect that is being created. The music begins to get louder and speed up which almost sound like the beating of a heart which the audience can assume is how the protagonist's heart beat must sound like. We then get to see a medium close up of the protagonist face showing that she is breathing heavily and looking slightly worried. The shot used makes it easier for the audience to see how she is breathing but also her facial expressions and emotions. There is usually low key lighting used when its dark and there is a use of back lighting to make it seem like the character is a silhouette figure, in emphasises the genre of the film being horror/thriller. However, in this scene there is a use of high key lighting which isn't conventional for this type of genre. In fact the costume of the antagonist is white which usually is symbolic for peace or purity although in this case it does not. Another way the audience could interpret the costume of the antagonist is that because its white it emphasises the fact that they are dead and have a ghostly, haunting effect.

This film is rated 15. This is because it doesn't show gruesome violence and according to the BBFC guidelines it meets the required limit to showing sexual violence. This would appeal to a younger audience, people who are still in school- education. Mainly  60/40 male to female audience. This is because it features characters that are still in school and it is much easier for an audience to identify with someone who is the same age as they have similar thought processes and ideas. This film contains the conventional jump scares and blood that are seen in the typical horror/thriller film which would appeal to an audience that enjoy those genre's.



Production: Independent film studios


It was presented by a studio called Northern Lights Film and produces by Animal Kingdom in association with Two Flints. Other examples of low-budget films produced by this company are Paterson, Kicks, Louder Than Bombs, Partisan, Short Term 12. The film louder than bombs has had a few notable successes and has won a few awards such as the bronze horse for best film.

Appropriate Behavior

MEST2: Existing product research




This extract of Appropriate Behaviour it begins with a shot of the shop the characters are shopping at. In this extract the representation of gender is being subverted in the sense that she is the main character in the film and she is made to seem aware of herself and her confidence in herself which would help the female part of the audience identify with her more as they either feel or aspire to feel the same way. However, the fact that the shop owner gave the woman something pink to try out makes it almost seem like its reinforcing the fact that the colour associated with females is pink which is sen as a delicate and light colour which can be taken as a way of saying woman are weak and will always need the support of another. The conversation the woman and the shop owner has is filmed in close ups/ medium close ups. This may be because of the fact that the conversation they are having is quite emotional in the sense that it makes her think about certain things. Therefore, close ups of the characters emotion and facial expressions would be necessary in order to allow the audience to get a better idea of how they are feeling. From the conversation they are having and the mentioning of a previous relationship i can infer that this film may be based around the genre of romance with a bit of comedy as the audience may find it amusing that the friend was being ignored and disregarded of. The setting of the film is seemed to be based in the city with high key natural lighting to make it look very realistic.

This film is rated 15. This film would not be appropriate for audience under the age of 15 as it suggest sexual behaviours and drinking. It does not show any nudity which makes it appropriate for 15 rating. This may appeal to an older audience that are most likely to understand the adult humour. However, the film does explore themes that are common at the ages from 15 and above like sexuality and other peoples view or opinions on it and whether they are accepting or not, which is what people of that age group tend to struggle with the most.



Production: Independent film studios

The production company for this film is called Parkville pictures which is an award-winning and BAFTA-nominated independent UK film production company based in London. a couple of films they have produced are Borrowed time, Spaceships and Ailema. The film that has won any awards would be approriate behaviour with two. the rest were either nominated or not for an award.

Distribution: Independent film distributors

The film was distributed by the following companies PRO-FUN media Filmverleih(Switzerland), Gravitas Ventures (USA) and Transmission Films) (Australia) This film wasnt distriuted by any UK companies. The budget of the film is not mentioned. The film opened at 11 theatres.





Girlhood

MEST2: Existing product research



In this extract the editing style is slow paced and doesn't show many different cuts being used just straight cuts. Most of the time it pans back and forth between the characters.This may be used to suggest that the genre is not a fast paced action film but instead something drama related. There is a lot of medium shot used which could have been used to show the facial expressions of the characters but due to this we are unable to see the rest of what they are doing - their dancing. The mise-en-scene is well put together. The setting of this clip is on a train, nothing extravagant to suggest that they are very important people to the world around them. What they do wont affect much, like the characters in an action film. The costume is very casual and everyday looking which highlights the fact that this may be a drama based film. The lighting is high key lighting as it looks very realistic and gets rid of the harsh shadows. The most noticeable prop seen in this clip is the Iphone. This emphasises the casual feel of the film and also helps the audience to identify with the character as they are probably around the same age as them and most likely have an Iphone as well. 

This film is rated 15. Which means that it is aiming to appeal to audiences of that age and above. However, i believe that it is mainly focusing on people ages 15 to around 25 as the main characters look like they are within that age range which is more useful in the audience to identify with them in the sense that their life may reflect things going on in their life. Also people older than that may not understand certain thought processes and themes being expressed throughout the film. The older generation tend to have a negative opinion about the younger generation.


Production: Independent film studios

The film was co-produced by many companies such as Hold Up Films, Lilies Films, Arte France Cinéma. Production companies like Centre National de la Cinématographie (CNC), Fonds Images de la Diversité, Canal+, Arte France participated etc. Hold up films produced another film called parade, Tomboy and beyond hatred. The production company produced films that won many awards like tomboy for example.

Distribution: Independent film distributors

There are no UK distribution companies mentioned. The film made more than £1m at the French box office, was nominated for four prestigious Cesar awards and secured an international film release.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

MEST2: Existing product research



There is high key lighting used in this extract to make it seem like the lighting is very natural since they are in the library and there would not be any harsh shadows in that kind of setting. The two main actors are male and female which suggest the genre of the film being a romantic film. The costume of the female character is all red including her hair which could suggest that something is wrong, this is further emphasised by the male character's costume which is all black which may suggest things like darkness and loss. The dark colour could imply that he is lonely which is further implied when the female character disappears at the end. The editing is very simplistic and only uses straight cuts and jump cuts and the pace of the edits are quite slow. The camera work show a range between medium log shots and close ups. This allows the audience to see what the characters are feeling and doing. Over the shoulder shot is used towards the end as they are speaking. The entire time the 180 degree rule isn't broken however there are some points where it almost looks like it is almost as if they want the audience to feel confused which is almost what they are left feeling by the end of the clip. Due to this enigma codes as to why the female character disappeared start to make the audience think about the story line of the film.

The film is a 15. This may be because of the language used the the possibility of adult themes that may not be suitable for young audiences. I believe this film is mainly targeted at the older generation that are about 25 and over. This is because the younger audience may not be able to understand certain things being shown in the film and may not be able to identify with a character that is significantly older than them, also it may contain adult humour or topics. The targeted audience could also be BC1 mainly middle class workers also aimed at reformers and explorers as a psychographic audience.


Production: Independent film studios

This film is produced by Anonymous content in association with This Is That Productions. Anonymous content have produced films like triple 9 which is also a 15 rated film, The good Neighbour and Spotlight which won 2 Oscars.

Distribution: Independent film distributors

Momentum Pictures distributed the film in the UK. The budget for the film was 20 million USD and box officed at 72.3 million USD. Which means that the profited a lot from it.-

Preliminary Task Evaluation

Exercise and Idea

The exercise was to create a video of a character opening a door, crossing a room siting down on an chair and then exchanging dialogue. We had to demonstrate our knowledge of match on action, 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot by incorporating it into the video as we filmed. 

Our idea was based on the genre's comedy and thriller. The story line was 2 friends one (Morgue) was obsessed with the other (April). Morgue sees April with another close friend - Stephanie and gets jealous. Then later on it shows April and Morgue studying together and when April goes up to use the toilet she enters the wrong room and finds Morgue replicated her room and it leads to her finding her friend Stephanie dead in the closet and Morgue eventually killing her too with many different objects.


Evaluation

Strengths

The idea of our video was to make it a comedy thriller. Which i think was presented quite successfully due to the well written script and planning which helped guide what we were going to film and give us a basic outline of what we had to film. I feel as though we have successfully used the skills we were meant to whilst recording and also used a rage of camera shots like the extreme close up on the door handle and the establishing/long shot to introduce the video of them walking down the road which becomes the basis of the story line. 


Weaknesses

The quality of sound was quite poor once we were shooting outside. The sound of the wind could be heard in the background which made it difficult to hear the voice of the main characters. Also, the lighting wasn't bright enough to see the characters faces when we were shooting during the night. What would've been better if we had used music as we had some shots where there was no dialogue however overall it would have added to the atmosphere we were trying to create. Some of the camera shots where blurred and didn't focus well on the subject. Which is something we will take into consideration next time we film.
