1. What kind of media institution might distribute your product and why?<br />The name of my production company is called CMT Productionz which is my initials. Reason being it simple, memorable yet effective all which I feel are important qualities. The logo design is a spinning globe which purely represents a universal production company. <br />A production company is accountable for the making of a film; in addition they may produce the capital. Films that are produced by more than one Production Company are called a coproduction.<br />The role of a distribution company is to market the product. In doing so they organise industry screenings for exhibitors in hope they will book or rent the film. Other duties include arranging the delivery method (ensuring it delivered by the contracted opening date) they are also responsible for producing the advertisements, either television or print based. Further to add when dealing with imported or foreign language films they are accountable for subtitling or dubbing the film and censorship (which is the removal of speech or visuals) that are seen as offensive, dangerous, delicate or problematic.<br />The distribution company in which I have chosen to distribute Fixation is ‘Screen Gems’ as it was responsible for Obsessed which was one of the main inspirations for my film moreover, the vast majority of their titles belong to the thriller and horror genre.<br />I was supported financially by the UK Film Council who work to provide a platform to those film makers hoping emerge into the industry. There are other schemes available to include national lottery, British council and specialist companies however; this depends on the nature of the material for example, channel four shows many documentary style programmes.<br />The names which appear in the credit list are Halle Burri (Monica Jackson) and Will Smythe (Sean Carter) reason being they are the main cast members. The team include Colin Logan (casting director, Philip Wright (music), Grace Carey (stylist), Roxanne Williams (set design), Angelica Brown (make-up artist), there is no order of importance as all members were beneficial to the production of the film.<br />Films that are similar to Fixation in terms of narrative and release method (being cinema and DVD format) are Fatal Attraction (1987), Swim Fan (2002) and Disclosure (1994).<br />
