Evaluation Activity 3 - What kind of media institution might distribute your media product & why?

SCRIPT FOR VOICEOVER

• the production company for our film is Ghost House Pictures. The actual logo of this is a skull which reflects the horror genre of our film, clearly showing this in the first few seconds of the film
• a production company is responsible for the physical production of media, so they have a lot of responsibility over a film
• The distributor for our film could be Universal Pictures. This would be an affective distributor as they distribute many films successfully, so it would be affective to have them as our distributor.
• Various people are named in the opening of our film in the credits. The first person introduced is the person who directed the film, as they play a key part in the production of a film
• Other people in the credits of the opening of our film are who the music is by, the stars in the film, the editor and who this is produced by. These are all included because they are jobs of importance.
• The money for our film could have come from being sponsored by National Rail (as our film features a train). This sponsoring can be compared the Shane Meadows' Somers Town being sponsored by Eurostar, as it features this type of train.
• Our film will first be released in the UK, to see if it's successful, and if so, it will be released worldwide. This is a good way of not wasting money, as if it wasn't successful worldwide this would be a waste. This is similar to the film ''Drag Me To Hell'' as it was released in America first, to judge whether it was going to be successful, and as they saw it was it was released worldwide also. 

Below is the voice over that we have produced over the top of our film. We propduced this by seperating the audio from our film and deleting it, then replacing it with the audio that we produced using a camera stating information about our film, such as the production, distribution, where the money will come from etc.

NOTES ON THE ABOVE

• The production company for our film is Ghost House Pictures. The logo is a skull which reflects the horror genre of our film and clearly shows this in the first few seconds of the opening of this. Production companies are 'responsible for the physical production of media' as Wikipedia states. Wikipedia also states the fact that 'it's common for actors to form their own production companies so they can have more control over their careers' e.g the length of time the film is made over, where etc.
• The distributor for our film could be Universal Pictures. This would be an affective distributor as they distribute many films successfully, so it would be affective to have them as our distributor.
• The money may have come from being sponsored by National Rail. This can be compared to the film Somers Town, where the money for the film came from Eurostar.
• Various people are named in the titles. The jobs which are named in the titles are ones of importance and which have a key part in producing the film. For our titles we used white font so that they are noticeable against the darkness of the scenes, this is so they're noticeable to the audience, meaning they see who's made the film as they're important. 
• The first job introduced is who the film is by (the director). This is introduced first as this person is key to the whole film, so their name should be shown first as most credit should go to them.
• Close to where a new character is introduced, the starring roles in the film are stated, this is to highlight the many different people in this film.
•  The next credit shown is who made the music. This is introduced when the music is playing, as if it was playing when there was dialogue/ no sound it would not be understood what music he has made.
• By introducing the credit 'edited by...' in the shot where obvious editing is, this ensures the viewer notices the editing, so the credit can go to this person.
• 'Produced by...' is shown last before the actual film title. This is affective as this is a credit which will be remembered, as it is the last one shown.
• Our film will first be released in the UK, to see if it's successful, and if so, it will be released worldwide. This is a good way of not wasting money, as if it wasn't successful worldwide this would be a waste. This is similar to the film ''Drag Me To Hell'' as it was released in America first, to judge whether it was going to be successful, and as they saw it was it was released worldwide also.
