Q3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Our production is called LHCB Productions as these are the first initials of all of our names. We wanted to make it simple and not too complex. We would use it as a thriller production company and would help fund, budget, distribute and advertise our films. We will show this only at the beginning of the opening and would just show for 2 seconds minimum. No music was added or sounds as it was too hard but also we wanted it to be basic. We added the paw print as we did have many ideas to call it Meow Productions but it didn't link, so when making this we added a paw print just to incorporate our other ideas. Our production company drew inspiration from Lions Gate Entertainment as it has a very simple colour scheme and isn't too overdone as is ours. Our funding for our production would probably come from fundraising and some from the production company itself.

A production company handles everything from scheduling, scripting, post-production, budgeting and the organising of staff. They have a lot of involvement in the film. In thriller companies they also focus on the advertising of the film (e.g. trailers, posters and the build up towards its release). I would choose New Line Cinema to distribute our film as they release a lot of thriller films such as Se7en and the Final Destination series.  They are based in Los Angeles, America and is owned by Time Warner. It’s a subsidiary of Warner Bros which is a very large and well known production company. They are also involved in other genres such as action (Rush Hour) - which is similar to the thriller genre. This would be suitable production company to distribute our production as its well-known, but also because it has good distribution links. It is very much into thriller/horror films so would be easy for our production to be distributed and would be managed well.

Unlike in most professional films we have only included 4 positions. We have got Camerawork, Directed, Co-directed and Editing. We did it in this order as it shows the different categories even though we all did a little bit each. It is important though that we keep it in order. Our film is very similar to Se7en in the way that it had a small budget compared to what it got back in box office. It got released quite slowly from different countries which is what I would want our production to be done.
