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

2. Why have you chosen your production
company logo?
• I have chosen this logo as it is appealing and
looks conventional. It is similar to other
production companies such as New Line
Cinema and can be related to the appropriate
genre, Action. The red and black colours
connote danger, blood and serious themes. It
can also be related to a supernatural being,
Phoenix. However, the darker colours imply
that the main theme is action. Furthermore,
the bird Phoenix can be related to superhero’s
that are often seen in action genre films. This
means Hollywood institutions such as Sony
would fit best as my company mainly focuses
on action.

3. What is a production company? What
do they do?
• Production companies are responsible for
producing and distributing a film.
• They may also take care of fundraising but
sometimes there are ‘Parental Companies’ that
provide financial support.
• Production companies take care of the schedule,
scripts, resources, staff, pre-production,
production,
• post-production, distribution and
• marketing.

4. What is the job of a film distributor?
• A film distributor might be a company or be
an individual responsible for the marketing of
a film. He sets the release date for certain
platforms such as: cinema, DVD or television
programmes.

5. Which film distributor would you
choose for your film and why? What
other films have they distributed that
are similar to yours?
• I would choose Warner Bros because they
distribute similar films such as “Sherlock
Holmes” or “Clash of the Titans”.
Furthermore, they distributed “Final
Destination 5”, “The Matrix” and “Firewall”. All
these titles are associated with the action
genre, and most are also with the thriller
genre. Therefore, this would be a good choice
as it would give a hint at the genre of my film.

6. How would your film be funded?
• My film will be funded with another party that
has enough money to help. I would take a loan
from a well known Production Company to
promote my film and later pay it all back if my
film would be a success.
• I could also use lottery to partially fund my
film.

7. Titles - Why do you need them? How
have you presented them?
• Titles advertise the most important people that were involved
in the making of the film. This emphasizes their importance as
they are shown at the beginning of the film instead of at the
end. I need this because it will promote the people that
helped, including myself.
• I have added freeze frames and a distinctive colour change to
each one of them making it look unique and original. This
might look attractive to some people who would pay more
attention to the titles.

8. What films have influenced you from
the industry and why?
• “Sherlock Holmes” has been a big influence
for me because it has a very similar genre to
mine and uses a similar idea of freeze frames,
but different style.
• “Wanted” has also been an influence, as I
used the idea of someone being on the run
from an antagonist.
