Q3 what kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?


 
Burton Productions

 
This is our production company logo ‘Burton Productions’ the reason that we chose this logo was because it is a camera which shows that we are a company always looking for new shots or new possibilities that we always have an eye on if there is something out there that is different we will give it a try, we are a company that is hardworking to try and make the best films with what we have. The reason that there is a globe in the lens is because we are always looking for new opportunities whether it is from the local area or across the world. Burton Productions are always looking for new challenges to overcome trying to make new breath taking films in the thriller industry. Overall I think the emblem of the company is good because it shows that we had a wide range of audience groups so this would increase the size of our target audience because we are a company that makes all films appropriate for everyone I think that company would aim at teenagers and above because we are in the Action/Thriller section which is a huge section that lots of people are into. We got inspiration from production companies like Universal Studios, Paramount Pictures and Eon Productions because they all have produced films in the Thriller genre and most of the films that we have compared our film with are all created by these producers.

 


 



A production company is very important to small film owners because an owner can’t produce the film because it cost so much money so they get a production company alongside them to control the budgeting of the money, advertisement, and getting big actors involved. The production company do this for a percentage of the profits. Without a production company’s backing the film will never get made. For our film we would aim for either ‘Universal’ or ‘Eon Productions’ because they are suitable companies who have both produced  films like James Bond collection (Eon Productions), Lone Survivor (Universal Studios) and finally The Expendables (Lions Gate) these were similar genre as our film (Action/Thriller) but I would be happy with any offer off any company because it is difficult for film producers to get an offer because if they don’t think it is good or they think it won’t be successful they won’t invest their money and skills.

These are some of the production  companies that we looked at as a team when we were  planning for our own thriller because we chose a couple of different companies and looked what films they did for example the top three that we look at was ‘Paramount Pictures’, ‘Eon Productions’ and ‘Universal’ the reason that we chose to research these companies was that they all did action/thrillers which we wanted to base on film on that for example Eon Productions did the James Bond films so we knew they were experienced in Action. A film from universal that we look very close at was the ‘Bourne Identity’ because we liked the titles in the film as them came on the screen over the picture. So we decided that we would do something similar to the titles in the ‘Bourne Identity’ because it shows quick shots with lots of different titles over the top in the corner of the shot the reason we wanted to do this was because it looks effective when the shot change.

In these shots from the opening we wanted the start to be effective so we had long shots of the area with a mixture of close ups this worked really effectively because with the pace of the different shots and the titles over the top it was good. We change shots from the area to the protagonist to introduce the first character. The text of the title that we have used is really effective because it is a torn broken down effect which shows you what the film might be about, this give the audience clues about the film. The titles we used was to shows the company name, different roles in the company and the actors that took part in the film we put the Company’s name first to show the audience who we are so they knew the makers of the film. We then put the directions name to show that came up with the overall idea and to shows whose vision it was to make the film the way it was. Then we showed the roles of everyone in the company and who took on what tasks. Finally when a clear shot of the characters came along we displayed the actors name to show the audience who featured in the film.

 
If I had to link our film to other on their similarities I would say that the first film I would compare it to would be James Bond because the series is based on Action and Thriller. So there is lots of guns and people are after the man same with Bond because their after him. Another film that I would link our film to would be ‘The Lone Survivor’ because we have use a similar style on the opening titles and again it is based on the Action/ Thriller genre which contain lots of gun but is like a spying film like bond but ours isn’t that type its more swat and breaching where they are looking for a person.


This is the timeline that we created to help us structure the times of the titles that we would use in the film, so we made a plan to put the titles in order from the most important like the producer and production companies then followed by the actors and crew this was important because we wanted the titles over the top of the shot so it had to be timed correctly because the when the actors  came up on the screen the title with their names showed up.
