Key details include: - The company name Exmortis is derived from the Latin phrase "ex mortis" meaning "the dead" to suit the eerie ambience of their film. - They chose a plain black background for the title to not distract from the jagged, aggressively scratched typography meant to enhance feelings of violence. - As an independent production, they express the "hands" that made the film through their handwritten-style title design. - They see Newmarket Films as a good potential distributor due to its reputation distributing diverse, high-quality films. - Their

3. The company provides the
physical basis for works in the
realms of the performing
arts, new media
art, film, television, radio,
and video.
The production company may be directly
responsible for fundraising for the
production or may accomplish this through
a parent company, partner, or private
investor. It handles budgeting, scheduling,
scripting, the supply with talent and
resources, the organization of staff,
the production itself, post-
production, distribution, and marketing.

4. The distribution of a film (or movie) is the process through which a movie is made available to
watch for an audience by a film distributor. This task may be accomplished in a variety of
ways; for example, with a theatrical release, a home entertainment release (in which the
movie is made available on DVD-video or Blu-Ray disc) or a television program for broadcast
syndication and may include digital distribution.
Newmarket Films is a privately owned independent production and distribution company.
Newmarket looks to acquire, produce, and distribute diverse films. The company has
produced such films as The Mexican, Cruel Intentions, and Donnie Darko
This company sets out to release a diverse range of films which is why I believe they would
be a good choice for our film. They have distributed many high profile films with good
reputation, the audience can recognise this and will therefore be further motivated to watch
this film as they will believe it is a high
quality product.

6. Billing is a performing arts term used in referring to the order and other aspects of how credits are
presented for plays, films, television, or other creative works. Information given in billing
usually consists of the companies, actors, directors, producers, and other crew members.
The order in which credits are billed generally signify their importance. For example, in films, the
first is usually the motion picture company, followed by the producer (as in "A Jerry
Bruckheimer Production"). Next, depending on his/her standing, the director may be granted
an extra, prominent credit (as in "A Ridley Scott Film"), this practice began with directors such
as Otto Preminger or William Wyler in the late 1950s.
The major starring actors generally come next, then the title of the movie and the rest of the
principal cast. The following production credits also usually form part of the main billing:
 Composer
 Costume designer
 Film editor
 Production designer
 Director of photography
We tried to replicate this order as closely as we could by having the production company name
appear first (Exmortis) productions this was then followed by the directors names, then the
actors and finally the cameraman.

7.  Our film is similar to many grassroots independent thriller films such as
Inland Empire (2006) a film about human trafficking where an actress
starts to adopt the persona of her character in a film, her world starts to
become nightmarish and surreal. Our films are similar as the director David
Lynch financed much of the production from his own resources and had the
help from his artistic collaborator and ex-wife as the producer. We also found
ourselves feeling similar to Lynch when he was working on his film as he
was quoted saying “I don’t know exactly how this thing will finally unfold” at
times during our filming we were unsure about how different decisions would
affect the onscreen play.
