What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

To tackle this question, you would first have to ask yourself what type of film is it. Well it may not seem like much due to the shortness of the clip, however I aimed for it to be more in the "art house" side of film, reasons being I want to focus more on mise en scene, but more directly the thoughts and dreams of characters instead of a clear cut story line.

So to the media institution's that might distribute my media product, well now we have established the type of film, we can see what media institutions fund produce such films.

Focus Features (formerly USA Films, Universal Focus and Good Machine) is the art house film division of NBC universal, universal pictures, and acts as both a producer and distributor for its own films and a distributor for foreign films. 

 

In the UK under the Focus Features umbrella.

• Momentum Pictures
• Entertainment Film Distributors
• Universal Picture

 Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation:As of 2007, it is the most commercially successful independent film and television distribution company in North America.

UK

• Momentum Pictures (2000–present)
• Lions Gate UK (2006–present)

Entertainment Film Distributors is a British distributor of independent films in the UK and Ireland for various production companies; it is owned by Nigel Green who started the company in 1978.

So which company is most likely to distribute my product, well all of them specialize in independent film distributing, however Lions gate is more focused around America, so that leaves us with Entertainment film distributors and Focus Features. overall I think both being good companies but just due to Focus features having more under its umbrella is bound to be more interested and available. It would also provide the opportunity if selected for DVD release under Focus Features. Also because it is based in the UK making it easily accessible and convenient for both me and the company.

I was looking for a suitable song for my As level media opening of a movie, and I came across your cover of (fix you) .. to say the least I was amazed, you have a great voice man. I was wondering if I could possibly use that cover in my movie opening? I will put you in the credits or something if you wanted? Thanks.
Steven.

It's absolutely fine with us, we're so glad you like it! Please make sure to reference that the song is originally by Coldplay in the credits...licensing can be difficult and we don't want to get you in trouble.
As long as we're credited with the actual performance, please feel free to use it. We'd love to hear more about your movie, and we'd definitely like to see it once it's released. Please let us know about the project, and we look forward to seeing (and hearing) the final result!

Please feel free to contact me on our band's email, thearbitrarylines@gmail.com

Thanks,

Changes to the idea

So new synopsis= To start off i have picked idea 2 (Number seven), many reasons behind this, I believe the story may appeal to events that could happen in real life, its also quite an interesting take, to show how people cope with being alone, or losing everyone they loved. I am thinking about having an establishing shot of the road he live on, the shot will look up into the sky and slowly drop down to reveal the road lined with houses both sides. Then a still shot of his house to highlight that fact. Then shots straight into the house, all different rooms until finally it gets to his bedroom, where he is either lying there asleep or getting dressed. He will be wearing a black suit to make the audience question why, maybe his work, maybe a funeral, or just his style of clothing. Then shots of him walking down the stairs to the door, as the door is closing the shot will blur out to reveal him walking up the path, of that appears to be a cemetery. Different angles of him walking down the path, then he will stop at a gravestone, clutching a picture in his hand and some 3 feathers with. Then a shot of his face holds it for 3-6 seconds. After the still shot the camera will slowly blur out to reveal the name of the movie with a picture of his family as the background.




New Shot by shot list

1. Opening shot of the sky, slowly going down to reveal a road with houses either side. I am aiming for a clear with some clouds in the sky, to reinforce the average every day street.
2. A shot of just his house, to highlight that this is the key characters/character house.
3. A shot of his bedroom, A shot of him through his door, looking at him putting his shirt on.
4. A shot of him doing his buttons up, also revelling some serious injuries to the body.
5. A shot him putting his blazer on, then to a shot of him putting his shoes on.
6. A shot of him walking down the stairs ( from two different angles) all the way to the door and when the door is being opened as soon as like shines through the door this shot will then blur out.
7. (blur in)  A shot of the sky going down to reveal a shot of the man walking up a path, what seems to be a cemetery with gravestones scattered around the place.
8. Different variety of shots (far away,close,shot of the sky down to him walking etc) to show him walking through the cemetery, until he arrives at a this one certain Gravestone
9. Shots of him standing there from different angles and distances.
10. Then a shots of him putting the 3 feathers on gravestone to represent the three names on the stone, a feather is a very symbolic image. I am aiming to use it as a sign of cowardliness, when he could of done something to intervene with the people that killed his family, and he is now putting the white feather back to show he is ready to stand up and stop being a coward.
11. A POV or over the shoulder shot of him placing the feathers down at the left side of the gravestone.
12. Then a shot of him kissing his fingers then placing them on each of the feathers
13. Another shot of him standing over the grave whilst wiping away tear.
14. A still shot in-front of the character of his face for 3-6 seconds
