Evaluation Activity 3
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
[Transcript]
Why the various people
are named in the titles - which jobs appear in the titles and in what order and
how have you reflected this?
The first name that appears is the main character “Chloe
Hicks” then “Conor Nelson” as the supporting lead character. Then the extra characters are introduced “Amy
Knight & Rashmi Sen” The directors and producers names appears as they’ve filmed
it. We researched some titles and found that the important roles of the films
e.g. main characters are introduced first and the least important roles appears
later on.
What does the
production company do?
A production company basically helps create the film by
assisting with the budgeting, scripting, casting the characters and scheduling.
They’re responsible for finding the right director and the characters with the talent
required for the film however they’re also accountable if there are problems
that affects the film e.g. the injuring of the main character. The production
is involved with the film from the start until it’s fully completed.
The idea of a distribution
and who that might be and why?
A film distributor is responsible for marketing our film,
they usually set the release date and where the film will be exhibited and
viewed. They can make it public by releasing the film in the cinema or it can be
viewed at home by releasing DVD. We decided that we wanted Warner Bros as the
distributor for our film as it distributes worldwide and had financial success.
They have had partnerships with independent horror film companies e.g. Hammer
Films Production. We chose Warner Bro
Distribution Company because we believe that it would fit our film requirements
than other institution and it has handled a lot of low budget films in the
past.
Where the money might
have come from for a film such as yours
The UK Film Council will invest £20.2 million of public
funds from the United Kingdom lottery into our film.
What is your film
similar to institutionally (name some films which would be released in a
similar way)
Institutionally our film is similar to Hammer Films
Production because they are a British Film Company and specialised in the
horror genre. This institution has a distribution partnership with successful
studio such as the Warner Bro. Their success was due to the partnership which
different distribution company which
lead to the Film Production with the financial success.
Woman in Black is similarly released as Hammer Films
produced it then the film was distributed by Momentum Pictures which is an
independent distribution company in the UK and Ireland.
