Behind the scenes

What kind of media institution might distribute our film and why? (Evaluation Question 3)

The kind of media institution that might distribute our film are organisations companies like Warner Bros, Paramount Films, Miramax Films, 20th Century Fox  and Universal Pictures who have produced and distributed well known gangster films in the past. Most famous of which are films like Reservoir Dogs distributed by Miramax Films, Oceans 11 distributed by Warner Bros and The Godfather distributed by Paramount pictures.


20th Century Fox

Warner Bros







Paramount Pictures








A film such as ours might get funding from organisations such as the BFI (British Film Industry) who's main purpose is to encourage people to start making films in the UK promote foreign films and fund independent films in the UK.

A production company is a company responsible for the physical production of new media they are required to fund all their own movies and decide which films would be best to produce and mostly likely to make a large profit a good example of this is The Kings Speech.

Here is our video commentary again answering the questions above along with other questions related to our film.

Script

Plot - Last man Standing

Two men have taken a man hostage in an Industrial building and are waiting to meet their new contractor. There is a great deal of tension as they are unsure if they can trust the man they are supposed to be meeting. The Hostage is tied up on a chair, central to the room. He has no chance of escape. Soon after the contact arrives and the men begin to question him. The man 'Jack' is carrying a bag of money. Which through a series of flashbacks we find out, is stolen. This soon leads to confrontation and an attack on the two men. Jack manages to escape and the men pursue. It turns out to be a setup and a group of thugs begin attacking their position. 

Foley Sound

What Is Foley Sound ?

Foley sound is basically sound effects added to the film during post production (after filming). Its basically a wide variety of sound effects which can be ambient sound such as birds and the wind all the way to sound effects like gunshots,glass smashing , doors slamming and explosions.The reason these affects are added in post production other than having the sound's whilst shooting is so that the sound in the film can be of a better more professional quality and not of a worse quality from the sound on the camera.

Setting

 Construction shed

We felt that this would be a perfect location to shoot our film as it looks like an industrial site which is the sort of location that fits into the gangster genre. We also thought it was the perfect location as it had good lighting which was very suited to the camera whereas if we had it in a location that was too dark there wouldn't be enough lighting in the room for the camera shoot anything visible on the screen. We also thought this location would be quite unique as only a minority of gangster films have an industrial site in the opening scene.

Pictures Of Location

Drama room

We felt that this would be an ideal location to shoot our film. However for it to be a suitable location for our film we will have too dress the room in a way so its suited to our film as our film is a gangster film the setting has to be quite dark to create more of a sense of mystery so the room would have to be dressed so the room was darker we would do this by reducing the brightness of the lights in the room and dressing most of the room in a dark material.
