Evaluation 3

What kind of institution might distribute your media product 

and why?

The production company is called 'howl'. We chose this because it links in with our logo of a wolf and when a wolf howls is can be very loud and threatening. Our logo is of a wolf, which appears on the screen through the movement of smoke. The smoke creates an eerie effect and gives the whole logo a lot more dimension.

A distributor is an organisation who handles the theatrical release of a film in a particular country as well as the marketing and circulation of films for home viewing. 

In addition the distribution company we used is called Blumhouse Studios, which we chose because many of the films they distribute have a thriller/horror genre and most of the films have a very creepy atmosphere and a very eerie feel to them which is what we wanted our opening sequence to also have. 
 

For a film like ours, I think it would be best for the money to come from BFI film fund, as it will allow more of an audience to view our opening sequence, as the fund comes from the National Lottery. The National Lottery is obviously very popular and is used worldwide, so if we got BFI film to fund our opening sequence, it will give our film more recognition. It is suitable for BFI Funding as it is not a typical horror and it is British film so is also eligible for funding. 
 

Our titles, in our opening sequence, are shown in a certain way to show the different elements associated with how to made our sequence. Many jobs appear in our titles such as; music, distributor, costume, characters, production company.

Our film is similar to institutions that have a thriller genre to them, and are DVD's but are also disturbed in a Big Multiplex Cinema. Films such as, Momento.
 

Our film would be screened in a Big Multiplex cinema so that a range of different audiences can watch it, making it popular and allowing it to be viewed by anyone who wants to watch it even if they weren't our aimed target audience in the beginning. We would then DVD sell it, as DVD's are very popular and selling it on DVD in Blu-Ray would also make us a lot of money. 

I think our opening sequence would receive a 15 certificate from the BBFC as although there are jump scares, there isn't any violence or gore, which will make it suitable for 15 years and above to watch. Although there is the use of lighters, drugs and alcohol, it doesn't show any extreme usage or put the characters in any danger. There is the use of blood, but there isn't any fighting or gore, so just makes the opening sequence a lot more child friendly to watch.
