1. • Our company name is “Twisted.Inc”. John thought of this name and we all
agreed as it follows the codes and conventions of a typical production
company name. “Twisted” shows a mysterious side to the villain in our thriller
as you don't know if he is right in the head or not. It just gives a sense of
unease to the audience even before the film has started. “Inc” just stands for
incorporated and is quite common after a production company name. Our
logo is a picture of barbed wire in a field with “Twisted.Inc” at the top of the
image, we chose the barbed wire because it has something in common with
the villain in our thriller, and that is potential danger. The production company
only comes in after the screen play has been written. They are in charge of
things like funding, actor casting, staff hiring etc. This is known as the pre-
production stage.
• A production company is in charge of the creation of the film, consisting of
many jobs allowing this to happen. These jobs consist of; budgeting,
marketing, finding/creating the appropriate music, creating the script and
storyboard etc. There are many popular production companies in existence,
some large and some small, however the highest rated and viewed films tend
to use the large companies. Some films are even created using more than
one production company, this is due to popular actors/actresses having their
own production company to have more control over their work.
• A distributor is responsible for the marketing aspect of the film making
process. They appeal to their target audience through advertising posters,
releasing a teaser trailer on TV and also the radio. They make many key
decisions, one of the main being deciding how many copies of the film they
should make. This is because if too many copies are produced they will lose
money, and if not enough copies are created then they will lose out on a
profit. An example of a distributor is Columbia Pictures, their name is at the
beginning of every film they distribute.
• If we were producing our own thriller we would struggle financially due to our
low budget. We couldn't get a bank loan because the bank wouldn't want to
lend us money if there was a big chance they would not get it back. We also
couldn't get a government grant because they only give grants to businesses
that are giving back to the community, this in turn benefits them. One of the
only ways we could money is from our own pockets and though family and
friends.

2. • At the very beginning of our thriller we displayed our group name wit a title
sequence, then once the film started to begin we added titles over the top
including the actors and the camera man. We felt as though we didn't need
to add the editor, producer, costume designer etc, as our whole group done
them together meaning the titles would have been very repetitive and boring
to the audience. We introduced the names of the actors first to distinguish
who is taking part in our film. We added the names on different sides of the
screen to help the audience know who the “good” and “bad” guys are. After
the names of the actors appeared, we introduced the camera man on the
same side as the “good” guy. This was to show the camera man is neutral
however is not seen as a “bad” person.
One film which is similar to ours is “Strangers”. This is due to the fact that the series
of events occurring in both films, happen to people that just so happen to be in the
wrong place a the wrong time. Our thriller is also similar in the fact that our
characters are both masked, meaning the identity of the villains are unknown. Our
film is also quite similar to “Slender” in the fact that the character is always shown in
the distance. Little movement is ever seen by the slender man, which is similar to
our film as the villain is only seen close when he has his victim in a confined space
