Question 3

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? 


A production company is generally involved in producing either recorded or live entertainment. They are in charge of the funding and spending of the entertainment and also have responsibility for ideas and organizations such as the cast, crew, script and location. We chose to call our production team SGG Productions, it means something to us as it initials all of our names. We are small budgeted production company and we have used the resources and facilities provided by our college. 


<- example of a title opening sequence from 'The girl with the dragon tattoo. 


A distribution company is a team of people who control the marketing of the film, for example publicity and promotion; trailers, posters, TV spots. Distribution companies are also in control of the actual transportation to cinemas (if it is) and the release of the film wether its going to be on DVD or in the cinema and where and when! There are two types of distribution companies which are independent companies and major studios such as 'Universal'. We have chosen an independent company called Ace Film Ltd. due the fact that our movie wont have star approval. We have also taken into account that we are low budget and therefor would need the funding from larger companies. 


I think that of most films our's would be more similar to 'Adulthood'. Adulthood is a crime genre, which DOESNT include spies of any sort, but i feel this is how we have challenged the crime genre with other movies as we are adding something different to ours. I feel as though the films are similar in ways of which it includes yob type youths, violence and also very sharp switch shots like my opening sequence does. In the clip on the right it shows various clips flashing to other clips, which is what we show in our opening sequence. 


If we were to carry on making our film so that it was a whole film, we would need funding, especially to distribute it etc. We would get our funding from larger companies, this is called equity investing; where they give money in return for profit in completion. 


Here is a list of the people we have included in our titles of the opening sequence:

  • Production Company - SGG Productions
  • Highest billing - main actor/actress - Jae Jones
  • Title of film - Concealed 
  • Supporting cast - spy/murderer - Sarah Higginbottom
  • Supporting cast - husband - Daniel Fisher
  • Supporting cast - wife - Gabrielle Davies
  • Editor - Gabrielle Davies
  • Sound Effects - Georgie Ilsley 
  • Director of photography - Sarah Higginbottom
