Evaluation Task 5 - Distribution from a Media Institution (Narration)

This is the final film we created which has now also incorporated a directors commentary as to what is happening,this allows us to focus more on the specific elements which we included in our film and allow us to develop the ideas we situated into our final movie. We were tasked to complete this as this would be essential for the understanding of the audience as to what we were trying to improve.

What does a production company do? - The production company is essential in creating a film as they would oversee the film from the initial ideas to the completed product. It would generally be responsible in terms of the director and actors they may hire. When we edited our film we were required to create and animate some production credits to go along with the film which can make it look much more professional when we completed the overall filming of the film. We decided that the first part of our production credits would revolve around what would be the production team, the shot we used involved the use of our surname initials; which was CWP Films.

The idea of a distributor and who that might be and why - A film distributor is normally an independent company which is responsible for the marketing of the film which may involve the appropriate release dates or just the overall advertisement of the film.  The second part of our production credits would of been the distribution company which in this case was the Blue Horse Films; we managed to animate the image so that it would appear as if it lit up to help add effect and give it a sense of professionalism.

Where the money might have come from for a film such as yours - Money is essential in any successful production as it allows the film to actually be created and distributed afterwards. For an action film the majority of the money is usually spent around the practical and special effects used throughout the movie, however some money is usually left over for the marketing of the film which may involve the trailer they are advertising to their respective audiences. During this trailer they would incorporate minimal spoilers from the film but they would also ensure to add some short clips from the various effects they may of used e.g. car crash.

Why the various people are named for the titles? - During the title sequence we managed to edit the film so that the respective actor names appeared on the screen whilst the storyline was carrying on in the background which allowed us to attempt to place the credit of each actor into a scene in which they are present. We decided to introduce the actor names with the protagonists situated first to help show them as the main characters in the film whilst the antagonist is featured last as we alsointroduce the characters in this order so we deemed it appropriate.

What your film is similar to "institutionally" - In terms of similarities which our film would have with an institutional film, i would relate the opening sequence with that of Taken as they both revolve around the idea of a phone call informing of the storyline. Our film also sticks to action movie conventions as it includes a chase and fight scene which we made the integral part of the film as it allows us to showcase the characters to a higher degree.
