Evaluation task 3

Discussion of your production company name and logo and the role of such companies
What does a production company do? 
At the start of the opening the production credits our introduced whom are distributers of the film, we created 'Lion Productions' and  'Wave Films' and because we created them ourselves they become associated with our film. The role of the production company is too help make them film and the budget involved with making the whole film. They would also help script the film, cast the characters and scheduling the film from start to end . The logo we used is a lion and a wave which links in with the name and make it more rememberable to the viewer and they are able to recognise it in the future.

The idea of a distributor and who that might be and why? 
A distributor is responsible for marketing the film and setting the release date and where the film is able to be viewed by the public. This film release does not only mean in cinemas but also on things like DVD, Netflixs and love film as the cinema is becoming increasing less popular.

Where the money might have come from for a film such as yours
The money for the film will be funded by the UK film council and will help plan the budget for each area of the film. Also the budget would be calculated based on how much money is received from the producers and distributors, for example if a large producers like WarnerBros is used then the budget is likely to be a lot higher than if Working Title were producing a film.
Why the various people are named in the titles- which jobs appear in titles and in what order and how have you reflected this?
Various people are named in the titles purely because they have distributed the film and this should be credited in the film. Also the key actors were named in the film because if you had a very famous cast it may encourage people to watch the whole film as they recognise some of the people in it. The names in the opening should appear in the order of who had the largest involvement in the opening. For example the people in charge of story boarding tend to appear later than the camera man.
What your film is similar to 'institutionally' 
The plot of our film is similar to The Ring which includes a young girl alone in her house, and danger occurs when an antagonist grabs her and attacks her. This is similar because in our film a young girl is by herself in a isolated surrounding and gets attacked. The film is distributed by Universal studios and Dream work Studios which leads to the financial success of the film. However our film is more similar to Working title as this is a much smaller British production company.
