1. QUESTION 3 What kind of media institution might distribute
your media product and why?
2. Why is it Important to Identify and Choose the Correct
Institutions to create your film? It is important to identify and
choose the correct institution as the audience would know the type
od film and genre they will be watching. When an audience watch a
film, when they see the institution that was involved they will
make an association with the genre. In addition the institutions
reputation will make the audience have certain expectations from
the film they are about to watch.
3. Production & Distribution Company I chose C&I
Productions to produce my film I chose Revolver Entertainment to
distribute my film
4. Big Major or Independent? These are small independent
companies which is conventional of my sub-genre. Youth dramas do
not have big industrial companies producing their films, not like
High School Dramas. I did research to see what companies have
distributed and produced similar films within the same genre such
as Kidulthood and Adulthood. - Revolver Entertainment (UK) 2006 -
Stealth Films, TMC Films and Cipher Films Based on this information
I decided to make up a production company C&I Productions in
relation to the other small independent companies such as the ones
above. This allowed me to make it original to my film but also
conventional to the sub- genre. I kept the distribution company the
same Revolver Entertainment so when the audience see this
institution they are aware of the sub-genre of the film and carry
expectations of the film.
5. Benefits The companies are likely to produce and distribute
my film as they have done so with other similar films. I can
distribute my film quickly to my target audience. The reputation of
the company is highly known for the films they distribute to the
public.
6. The Impact on the Title Sequence - As our film is a Youth
Drama it should have a lot of titles in the title sequence. This is
because for independent films the budget is low and more company
contributions are required. It is much harder for independent films
to find companies. There would generally be more production
companies and less actors as the budget is not big enough to afford
Hollywood actors/stars. -For example: Attack The Block Due to time
management issues I only had one production company title, I didnt
get to do 3 like I intended but I had to make sure our title
sequence was complete for the deadline. However, everyone who
needed to be credited was such as the director, casting, costume
designer etc.
7. Type of Release Digital distribution: Our title sequence was
put online for our target audience to see Digital Theatrical
distribution: Ancillary Distribution: My title sequence was
premiered at an independent cinema The Screen on the Green My title
sequence will be distributed on DVD which will be available to my
target audience Social Media: I created a Twitter account which was
used to show my target audience about my title sequence
