What kind of Media Institution might distribute your Media Product and Why?
20th Century Fox was founded in 1935 on the 31st of may. This was 80 years ago. The founders of the company were Joseph Schenck and Darryl Zanuck. 20th Century Fox has also produced Motion Pictures and Television Films. 20th Century Fox were produced by Fox Filmed Entertainment. The distribution company are based in California, America. The current chairman of 20th Century Fox is Jim Gianopulos and the co-chairman for 20th Century Fox is Stacey Snider. 20th Century Fox became an independent distribution company in 1935-1985. Fox has been a distribution company for many popular films, for example: 'Star Wars', 'Ice Age', 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid', 'Die Hard', 'Planet of the Apes' and 'Night at the Museum'. i think that 20th century Fox would be interested in distributing our film because they have distributed films that have a lot of atmosphere and dimension to them for example 'planet of the apes' and 'night at the museum' so they might be interested in distributing our film because we have a lot of elements that the other things do, also because we are a horror genre they might also be interested in distributing something new, to see how their business may decrease/ increase.
Dreamworks was founded in 1994 by David Geffen, Steven Spielberg and Jeffery Katzenberg. The Distribution company has produced motion pictures, television and music. The key people at Dreamworks are; Steven Spielberg (principle partner) Michael Wright (chief executive officer) Jeff Small (president/chief operating officer) and Holly Bario (president of production). Dreamworks was produced by The Walt Disney Company, Reliance Entertainment and Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. Dreamworks headquarters is also based in California. Dreamworks has been the distribution company for many successful films including: the 'Shrek' series, 'Southpaw', 'Kung Fu Panda' and 'Madagascar'. Dreamworks are also distributors for Video Games, an example of a game could be 'Transformers Deceptions'. I think that Dreamworks would be interested in distributing our horror film because they have distributed a lot of different films so they might want to see how a horror film would work for there business.
Warner bros was founded in 1923, the company's headquarters are in Burbank, California. Warner Bro's income in 2014 was around $ 1.15 billion. Warner bros' founders were Sam Warner, Albert Warner, Harry Warner, Jack. L Warner. Warner Bros is an american entertainment company that produces motion film, television and music. Kevin Tsujihara is the CEO of the company. In 2014 it was estimated the Warner Bro's had 8,000 employees. Kevin Tsujihara is also the chairman of the company and he works along vice chairman Edward A. Romano. The distribution company work in the industry of entertainment. Warner Bro's distributed films such as: 'The Dark Knight', 'The Dark Knight Rises', 'Mad Max: Fury Road' and 'National Lampoons Vacation'. I think that Warner Bros would be interested in distributing our horror film because they have distributed films that have a lot of tension and atmosphere, so they would be interested in our film because throughout our film we create atmosphere and build up tension.
To make our distribution company clip, we needed the research about other distribution companies to understand what kind of features the successful ones have. We also did this so that we could be sure that we completely knew what a distribution company was. With the help of our research, we also took note that the length of the clips are important.
We made ours using a editing programme called 'Final Cut Pro', to help us finding moving pictures we used YouTube and then edited, so that it was copyright. We then used the programme to create our title, when creating our title we had to consider many things... what looked professional, what colours went well with our background, how the title appeared on the screen and where the title went on the screen.
We used a bold title because it implies that the company are important and it also draws attention to the company and makes it stick in the viewer's mind. We decided to use a globe as our background image because it carries connotations of 'Infinitive Films' being powerful and a company that reaches globally. We also carefully selected our backing track with the hope that it matches the stereotypical music we see on other very successful distribution company's clips.
We think that overall, our distribution clip is effective and looks professional. It is of a suitable length and it is appealing to a viewer and memorable.
