question 3

Question 3 what kind of institution might distribute your media project and why?

Our production name is “Yellow Gun Productions” this name was inspired by our preliminary task in which we used a banana as a gun, for comic effect. As we worked in the same group of people for our prelim and our thriller production we wanted to link the projects. Our Ident has been inspired by our preliminary video and the ident used by Universal, because the universal ident is also set in space this shows that their films are worldwide which we also aim for, worldwide acknowledgement.  As well as our production team name we inserted a non-diegetic sound of a drinks can being opened. This sound is to symbolise our team opening with new ideas.

We have looked at various film distributors and we decided as a group that universal suited as the most appropriate distributor for our genre of film to be associated with. Other distributors such as Disney didn’t quite fit for our thriller as Disney mainly makes films aimed at a younger audience whereas our film would be aimed at people above the age of 15.

 

 

We also found inspiration for our ident in the TriStar ident, TriStar also use a bright light to reveal their logo at the end of their ident. This is an effect we have also used to reveal our production team name. Although we were inspired by what larger companies have created as idents we had to adapt our inspiration to fit the scale and budget of our thriller. Where some companies film then manipulate their footage to create their ident we made ours completely using computer editing.

 

What a production company does; 

The production company assists in the making of a film. The company will be in control of such roles as; budgeting, casting, scripting, scheduling and much more. The production company are also responsible however for anything going wrong, for example an actor being injured or someone’s property being damaged.

As we were limited with the amount of people in our group we shared each role. This helped our group because we all took responsibility for the whole film.
