This is a Power Point of the 3 evaluation

1. EVALUATION 3: What type of institution might
distribute your media product?

2.  When creating our company we decided to use the production
name ‘GPM Productions.’ This is a combination of the initials
of all the company owners; James Ginn, Sophie Perry and
Lydia McCarthy. This is not only an inclusive name which
givens competing brands a idea about GPM
Productions but its also an original and
short brand name that’s catchy and fits
the stereotype of a typical Thriller brand.
 We also believed that the brand name
of our thriller would work well in parallel
to a larger production company such a
universal or warner.

3. Production companies are the main source of finance for the
making of films. If they find a film that they believe will be
profitable for their company they will offer them a deal in which the
their company is either paid an initial fee or they take money
depending on how much the film makes. They then ensure that all
aspects of the film are perfect before the release and they help with
the promotion of the film.

4.  As we are a new company and this was our first release,
we decided that we would ask for financial help from the
brand KickStarter.
 They are a brand that
Specialises in helping
new and developing companies to produce their films. They
have been involved in some of the most prestigious film
productions such as ‘Project Eternity’ and ‘Mighty No. 9’
 They use donations from the public that want to help new
and upcoming companies whilst giving them a
percentage of your films profit depending on how much
money they invest.

5.  Distributers are larger scale companies that help you
release your film into the cinemas and act as an
advertiser. We decided to use universal as their usual
high budget thriller films fitted our genre of horror
movie whilst also being a highly prestigious and
professional brand. This therefore meant that their
company got a new film and product that fits their
style of film and GPM Products can use their
popularity as a type of promotion.

6.  There's are a number of positional roles that are mentioned
throughout the ‘Extinct’ title sequence.
 One of these roles is ‘Costume designer.’A GPM Production
employee collected the military style costume and decided
that the use of the dog tags will quickly inform the audience of
this mans previous life.
 Another role that is mentioned during the titles in ‘Props
designer’ This role was allocated and the person ensured to
make the thriller look as realistic and natural as possible by
bringing in recognisable props.
 The stereotypical titles where also allocated, for example we
included directors and producers. These where all used
discreetly as a way of fitting the stereotypes of a thriller.

8. THE BOY NEXT DOOR: This modern thriller has been recently
released with the prestigious actress Jennifer Lopez.
Her character becomes stalked by her next door neighbour.
This fits with our psychological thriller and the film explores
the lonely journey of the protagonist.
SALT: This 2010 American action thriller stars Angelina Jolie as a spy agent
who Plays a CIA agent on the run after being accused of being a Russian spy. This
connects Extinct fast paced action and physiological thriller.

10.  At the beginning of our thriller it starts with the production
company ‘Universal.’This immediately informs the view of
the style of thriller that this will be a creates a familiarity
between the viewer and Universal as their prestige within the
oligopoly (3 main media companies) means that they are a
recognisable household name.
 Its then followed by our production company ‘GPM
Productions’

11. We based out thriller
loosely on the
character played by
Will Smith in the
Warner film ‘I am
legend.’ He is also a
young lonely man
trying to survive and
find civilisation within
the post apocalypse
world.
We use a similar
costume for our
protagonist
character as dark
colours fit the
stereotypes of a
thriller and the
green jacket also
suggests some sort
of military
background.
This film was also
awarded a age rating
of 15 as its
physiological and
graphical content
would be harming to a
younger audience.
The setting of our
thriller ‘Extinct’ is
also set in a
previously busy
city/town which
now has been eerily
emptied.

13.  Film hosting websites such as Netflix would be interested
in this production as it would appeal to a large amount of
their audience as thrillers are popular with both teenagers
and also older generations who have been brought up
with thriller films.
 Also due to our brand being new
out and unpopular, Netflix or any
other film hosting website
could possibly negotiate an
exclusivity with GPM Productions
to ensure that they get the first
release of our thriller films.
