Homework
Q1: What makes a British film?
A british film can be divided into five different categories and they are:
Category A: films made with British money, personnel and resources.
Category B: films co-founded with british money and from foreign investment, but the majority of finance, cultural content and personnel are British.
Category C: films with mostly foreign (but non USA) investment and a small financed input, either financially or creatively.
Category D: films made in the UK with (usually) British cultural content, but financed fully or partly by American companies.
Category E: American films with some British involvement.
British films claim a great number of films under category D and E and a decent amount from B and C but very few are successful as category A films.
Q2: What are the different ways a film can be marketed or promoted?
Poster: E.G. buses, train stations, bus stops...
Merchandise: Goods that relate to the film are sold to help promote the film.
Trailers: A trailer is an advertisement or a commercial for a feature film that will be exhibited in the future at a cinema.
TV apparences: Trailers shown on the TV
Interviews: Actor and Actress are interviewed about the film.
Q3: What are the different ways a film can be exhibited and consumed?
- Cinema
- Film Festivals
- Online- Netflix and iTunes
- DVD
- TV

Film Distribution (More Notes)
- Many people say that the audience has the greatest power.
- Film distributions describes everything that happens in between production and exhibition.
- The promotion of a film pays for "above the line"advertising, which will be funded as part of the project, such as trailers.
- It is crucial not to see film distribution as a helpful stage in the life of a film whereby distributors treat all films equally and ensure fair play in getting films to the public's attention.
- Five major distributors that dominate the UK film industry: United International Pictures, Warner Brothers, Buena Vista, Twentieth Century Fox and Sony.
- Film distributors are responsible for prints and marketing.
- Prints- producing physical copies of a film for cinema/home release and finding the exhibitors/retailers to sell the film.
- Marketing-raising audience awareness and anticipation of a new release.
- A distributor may: be a part of the same parent company as the production company, have a long term arrangement with a production company and provide financial assistance for may of their productions, provide financial assistance for a single film by a production company
- Acquire a film after it has completed production.
- 360 degree guerrilla marketing. It communicates with your prospects and customers from all directions and across long periods of time.

Notes
Producer:
someone makes the media.
Consumer: the
reader
Media text:
poster, books, magazines, TV programs, films etc.
Semiotics: The
study signs and sign systems (Roland Barths)
Denotation: What an image actually shows
and is immediately apparent, as opposed to the assumption an individual reader
may make about it.
Connotation: The
meaning of a sign that is arrived at through cultural experiences a reader
brings to it.
Mode of Address: The way the media puts their point across.
Gatekeeper: They
decide what can be shown on the media. The job of the gatekeeper changes for
different types of media e.g. the new and a comedy new show.
Semiology: The study of signs and symbols.
The hypodermic model: This model ejects
the audience with ideas and meanings. This model is outdated but is still used
to influence the media and control it. This model has been inked to be able to
influence general perception about public events and social trends, but has not
been proven.
Uses and gratifications: A more recent
model suggests that there is a higher active audience making use of the media for
range of purposes designed to satisfy needs such as entertainment, information
and identification. In this model the individual has the power and they select
the media texts that best suit there needs. Main areas that are identified in
this model are: news and drama, films and celebrities, soap lives and sitcoms
and games shows and quizzes. Diversion, personal relationships, personal
identity and surveillance.
Two Step Flow: Opinion Leaders produce an opinion and the readers choose one to
follow. The readers that follow the opinion leaders are passive.
The active audience: this model shows the
process of the producer having a message and they encode it. Then the receiver
gets the message and decodes it. Stuart Hall is a cultural theorist and
professor of sociology at the Open University and he came up with this theory.
The negotiated reading: the reader partly
believes preferred reading.
The oppositional reading: "the reader
social position places them in an oppositional relation to the dominant
code."
Mode of audience: This refers to the way
that text speaks to us in a style that encourages us to identify with the text.
Different types of media are aimed at different age groups or social groups but
don’t exclude other groups reading that type of media.
