3. What kinda of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Every great movie company has an ident. The ident is of great important in the film industry and plays a major part in representing the type of institution that may distribute our own film. Below is my ident for Nightfall Entertainment:
I used some footage I found on YouTube of a beautiful full moon passing through clouds in the middle of the night. I felt this was appropriate for the company's name and the subtle hint of clouds trailing past the move gave it a more eerie feel which suited our horror/thriller opening sequence perfectly. The music is a delicate, haunting piano piece that flows nicely with the video. I felt I achieved a very unique and chilling ident.
My production company: Nightfall Entertainment.
My production company, "Nightfall Entertainment" is responsible for all budgeting, scheduling, scripting, supplying the talent, the resources, the production itself , distributor, marketing and post-production. Nightfall Entertainment are the direct company responsible for fundraising the production of our media product and to accomplish this they'll either turn to a parent company (i.e Warner Bros), partner or a private investor who is interested in horror/thriller films for young/mature audiences. Events such as film festivals will help accumulate funds with donations from film-goers who enjoy our specific genre and will also help raise awareness for our film. Films such as "Sinister", "The Exorcist" and "1408" and many more hit horrors were all distributed by Pathe and are popular among our ideal audience age.
The titles we used in order of importance to our film. We were influenced by the opening titles from "Napoleon Dynamite" as it too is an independent film; including such things as both associated production companies (mine and Farhath's), above the line talent, music, production designer, photography, writer and producer and of course, the director. Our film has light usage of special effects as it's a paranormal/psychological thriller bringing forth individuality to the independent film table.
The distributor.
Pathé was the company we decided to go with in the end. Pathé is known to distribute films over wide variations of genres which is what makes this perfect for our film. We wanted a distributor with flexibility and confidence to distribute our film and Pathé ticked all these boxes. Pathé are also known to be associated with a bigger company, "20th Century Fox" who are owned by one of the Big 6, News Corporation. This is a huge beneficial factor for our film as it opens up the doors to better advertisement and wider audiences, giving our film a greater chance at success. Below are the idents for both Pathé and 20th Century Fox and as you can see both hold unique and interesting company idents. Pathé being more creative and arty compared to 20th Century Fox's extravagant and loud ident.
