Digital distribution- is the practice of providing content in a digital format, which is downloaded via the internet straight to a consumer's home. Digital distribution bypasses physical distribution media, such as paper or DVDs.
DSN(Digital Screen Network)- Digital screening cuts the cost of releasing films (a digital copy costs around one tenth of a 35mm print). That's why UK Film Council and the Arts Council England have created the Digital Screen Network – a £12 million investment to equip 240 screens in 210 cinemas across the UK with digital projection technology to give UK audiences much greater choice.
Film Focus- LUFF was launched in 2004 as an initiative for the export and promotion of new British films and talent to the international marketplace.
Product Placement- or embedded marketing, is a form of advertisement, where branded goods or services are placed in a context usually devoid of ads, such as movies, the story line of television shows, or news programs. The product placement is often not disclosed at the time that the good or service is featured.

Dead Mans Shoes Notes
Who's the audience?
How do the production practices appeal to this audience?
Dead Mans Shoes
Budget: £723,00
Opening.
Casual acoustic lighthearted music, whole song.
relates to audience and laus you into a false sense of security as further on it becomes apparent that this is a complete contradiction of what the genre of the film actually is.
It then flicks between videos of people as children leaving unanswered questions and enigma codes for the audience but helps them relate to the story at the same time.
Point of view shot- two (unknown) characters walking down a long road.
the first bit of spoken text opens, "God will forgive them" this also work's on the build up to a climax of the storyline.
Followed with more memories and flashbacks of two men walking round a house this is a denotation of something that will be connoted further on into the film.
The next scene is the first time it becomes apparent that the film is of a different genre than what is first thought. We meet Herby a drug dealer and the scene turns violent when the man at the start is shot arguing with him, even thought the genre takes an unexpected turn at this point it has already attracted your attention and encourages you to want to know more this device is not a mistake and has been done on purpose to make a wider bulls eye and get a larger audience.
Adult audience- violence and sexual references. Later, thriller. Certificate 18 Working class men
Next it becomes apparent with the use of flashbacks that one of the men (shown at the start) seems to be simple and not as intelligent as the other, it also shows when they knew Herby and could explain why one of the men might feel the need to be violent towards him.
The special effect and editing used throughout are simple, there's an unsteady camera used throughout making the film seem more real. The actors seem very chilled out and appear to improvise alot this is a flexible way of working that gives a more laid back style to the film.
Setting- typical England, natural room lighting, reduce costs.

The Culture Show Notes
Middle range films are between two extremes, high budget and low.
Working Title and Warp Films are two companies that make these films (Slumdog Millionaire, The Queen etc)
Tim Bevan
Hard to sell drama.
Comedy and thriller have less risk and marketing is cheaper.
The recession mean less risk with films and possibly the end of middle range films
Bulls eye:
Smaller- less budget, stars.
Bigger- higher budget and A Lister's.
Lord Putnam
The only reason stars would lower their fee is if the film captures them.
Mike Goodridge
"you have to think about what people want"
Institution-budget-how it effects the audience
More tentpole films- high budget will put middle range under threat.
Sandra Hebran
Need more political (need to think) films.
Escapism will no longer be happening in cinemas, films will be taught provoking and have hidden messages.
Stars will also have to lower fees.
