Evaluation Activity 3
A distributor would be the type of institution that would distribute our media product. A distributor handles marketing, promotion, and distribution of films. They pick release dates, exhibition methods, and ensure the film is distributed to theaters and home release (DVD, Blu-ray, digital). An example of a UK distributor is Lionsgate. Our low-budget film would be released straight to DVD/Blu-ray to save money, similar to the 2012 film "One in the Chamber".
Evaluation Activity 3
A production company oversees all aspects of filmmaking from pre-production through post-production and is responsible for the budget, script, actors, and ensuring a successful film. Terror Craze Productions is a new production company that chose its name to sound professional and indicate it is a production company. A distributor handles marketing, promotion, release dates, and distribution of a film to theaters and home release. For their small-budget film, Terror Craze Productions would choose a smaller distributor like Lionsgate in the UK to first release in art house cinemas then DVD, Blu-Ray, and on demand, in order to distribute the film cost effectively within their means as a new, small production company.
Media evaluation task 3
The document discusses a potential production company and distributor for a student media project. It describes the roles and responsibilities of a production company in supervising a film, managing finances and budgets, and hiring actors. It suggests Black Screen Productions as the production company and Paramount as the distributor. Paramount is chosen because it is well known and has successfully distributed similar thriller and horror genres in the past. Funding might come from small local businesses and companies, as well as profits from other Black Screen Productions films.

The production company logo represents the genre of horror through its black and white color scheme and sinister eye image. The name "Dark Vision Productions" conveys the theme of an evil entity watching in the dark. The blood-colored font further hints at the horror genre. The logo is meant to frighten audiences and prepare them for a dark film.
Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses a small, British independent film company that focuses on social realism films with low budgets. They worked with three other companies to fund, produce, and distribute their film: a larger independent film company that lent money and helped with production; a Hollywood sports film company that enhanced their budget and experience; and a distributor that specializes in independent, low-budget films. Their company idents for the film openings were kept very simple and minimalist to not distract from the social realism genre or make the film seem more Hollywood.
Evaluation post 3
This document discusses the logo and branding of a production company called Perspective Productions. It explains that the logo was chosen to look professional and fit with the genre of psychological thrillers. The name Perspective Productions incorporates the theme of perspective which is important in such thrillers. The font used looks handwritten to add an air of mystery. The production company is responsible for fundraising, budgeting, scheduling, casting, and marketing for films. Film distributors decide release dates and formats to exhibit films. Dynamo is proposed as the distributor since it allows global online release. Funding options discussed include applying for funds, raising money, or getting another company to produce the film. Titles are important for representing the company or film.
Evaluation for media
A production company helps create films by assisting with budgets, schedules, scripts, casting, and overseeing the entire filmmaking process from development to completion. Specifically, the production company is responsible for finding a director and casting actors. Choosing good actors is important because it determines whether the film will be worth watching. The production company guides the film from start to finish.
Evaluation 3
The document discusses the effectiveness of a movie production and its ancillary promotional materials, including a film poster and radio trailer. The main production aimed to look professional and entertain audiences with an intense crime thriller set in an urban location. The poster clearly conveyed the genre and setting through a stenciled two-color design that included critic opinions. The radio trailer aimed to provide information about the movie through sound effects from the film and a typical male voiceover, without revealing spoilers. Overall, the ancillary materials were deemed conventional and professional enough to not be out of place compared to real advertising products.

Our media product opens like a typical teen horror film to attract our target audience of teenagers. We set the scene of teenagers on a remote holiday without parents to build tension. Our 'Demon' character is modeled after the little girl from 'The Ring' but with modern teen clothing. Our production company is Avalon and distributor is Mordred. As a 15-rated horror film, it cannot include discriminatory, offensive or sexual content but can have strong threats and menace. Through constructing this product, I have learned about editing software, cameras, shots, sound design and analysis of film techniques.

Task 3 - Group 001
A production company is responsible for overseeing all aspects of filmmaking from development through distribution. They raise funds, hire key crew like the director and actors, and ensure the project is delivered on schedule and on budget. The group created their own production logo featuring each of their initials to represent the four members. They chose Universal as the distributor since it is a major company that distributed the crime thriller "Inside Man", which inspired their opening scene. As an independent low-budget UK film, they would likely seek funding from public broadcasters like BBC or Film4 who have supported similar crime thriller genres in the past.

Distributors do this either directly from the sub- directors or theoretical exhibitors. The distributors work with the Theoretical exhibitors, the distributor secures a written contract of the amount of gross tickets to be paid to the exhibitors, this is how they both work together. They also deal with all of the marketing side. The distributor that we have decided to use for our film ‘Intoxicated is ‘Hannover House’.
