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

3. Production company
A production company essentially
helps to create the film- it assists in
the budgeting, scheduling,
scripting, casting and more. The
company usually looks over the film
from when it’s just an idea to the
completion. They are responsible
for finding a director and the
majority of acting talent required.
My production logo is very eye
catching so therefore grabs
peoples attention. I have typically
used one image in the middle of my
logo so that it doesn’t look
overcrowded or unrealistic.

4. Film distribution
A film distributor is a company or
individual responsible for the
marketing of a film. The distributor
may set the release date of a film
and the method by which a film is to
be exhibited or made available for
viewing. A distributor may do this
directly, if the distributor owns the
theaters or film distribution
networks, or through theatrical
exhibitors and other sub-
distributors. A limited distributor may
deal only with particular products,
such as DVDs or Blu-ray, or may act
in a particular country or market.

5. Momentum pictures
The film distribution company that I
would use for my film would be
Momentum Pictures. I have chosen
to this company in particular
because they have previously
distributed other films in the horror
genre that have made a lot of
money. Some of the films that they
have distributed in the same genre
as my film are, Sinister, The
Woman in Black, House at the End
of the Street and Grindhouse.

6. Funding
All films are funded by different
ways. My film will be funded by the
BFI. The BFI was founded in 1933.
They are a charity governed by a
Royal Charter. They combine
cultural, creative and industrial roles,
bringing together the BFI National
Archive and BFI Reuben Library, film
distribution, exhibition at BFI
Southbank and BFI IMAX, publishing
and festivals. They award Lottery
funding to film production,
distribution, education, audience
development and market intelligence
and research.

7. Film Titles
I have added in titles to my film
opening as it is a typical generic
convention of any genre film. No
matter what genre the film is you
will definitely see titles in the film
opening. Film titles are there to
inform the audience about who
was involved in the production
and distribution stages of that
film. I have presented the titles
in my film opening by using a
black background with red and
white writing over the top.

8. Influential films
There have been many different
films that have influenced in the
production of my horror films. One
of the main films that played a
major role in influencing my film is
‘Orphan.’ I have used their idea of
using a young girl but changing
the fact she will be the victim in my
film not the villain. I have also
used their costume ideas. I have
dressed my victim in similar
clothes the girl in Orphan would
wear at night time.
