What Kind Of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product And Why?

 

Our production company would be LionsGate Films if “Hunted” was to become a feature length TV Show or Film. The logo looks rather interesting and centred due to it being in a gap in the clouds. It overall looks like a logo you would expect to see before watching a thriller. The actual name itself “Lions-Gate” also sounds somewhat more aggressive and thriller like, it somehow makes the audience to expect to see something dramatic, almost as if the gate is opening to introduce to a good thriller film. The role of this particular production company is the fact it specialises in thriller films and other independent works that are know well known, such as Saw, The Cabin In The Woods, Dredd and The Hunger Games. We overall chose this media production company due to its expertise and relation the thriller genre, and it would be a good associating to have in the media industry if we had their backing behind us.

In terms of our own logo, LionsGate and other company logos did not influence it, as it was an entirely original piece of work that we thought of.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see here, our fictional “Boundless Productions” logo is innovative and rather unique compared to other company logos. The production logo has the infinity sign behind it on a sideways angle, to represent that we are infinite and it reinforce the word boundless.

 

 

A production company is basically a company that distributes and legally produces films for other companies that have made them, but with contracts and agreements signed so they get some money and credit for publishing it. Examples of this are Universal, 20^th Century Fox and LionsGate.  An example of a thriller film being produced is SeveN being produced by New Line Cinema.

 

 

The distributer that I would personally choose to distribute our thriller if it was a feature length film would be Momentum Pictures. The reason why is because in the past they have produced some block buster thriller films Such as Dead Man Down, Downfall, District B13 Ultimatum, Law Abiding Citizen and Crash. Momentum pictures are a British organisation and are one of the UK’s leading distribution companies. Their headquarters is located in London, Great Britain. It as of 2013 has been owned by the American firm Entertainment One as a wholly owned subsidiary. Entertainment One is a multi-national, American owned media company and is a direct rival to other major companies such as Universal and 20^th Century Fox. 

The film genres that they are involved in are thrillers, action films, family films, Romance films, and fantasy film genres.  Over the years, they have managed and produced several major blockbusters, such as Dead Man Down, The Kings Speech and Defiance. They are overall an appropriate institution to distribute our thriller opening due to their good reputation and general association with thriller films, so if they distributed our film, our film would possibly gain a large audience of interest and subsequently be more successful.

The money that we would need for our films budget would partly come from bank loans to procure the most expensive things, such as land rental, police safety licence for firearms being carried in public places for some scenes and shooting blank rounds and advertising.  However, through means of our own money and fundraising at public and online campaigns, we would pay for the less expensive costs, such as renting out vehicles, set for some scenes that are not safe to be filmed outside, weapon leasing from appropriate third party firms and medical staff in case somebody injures themselves on set.

The various people named in the titles were for a comical, far-fetched effect including names such as the rapper, and hip-hop artist Eminem and dubstep artist Tyler The Creator.  In terms of jobs, we had Peter casted as the director due to all the shots and camera angles being his ideas with some influence from myself and Conor.  We had the editorial director as me due to the fact I highly influenced the editing. 

In  terms of institutional similarities, there are no major thriller that follow this style of release due to bigger budgets and better financial support. I suppose in a way that the style of marketing of similar thriller videogames such as Condemned and Alan Wake.
