PLANNING - Institutions - Finding a Distribution Company

A distribution company is responsible for the following things:

  1. Buying the rights of the film,
  2. Selling as many prints as possible for the film to cinemas for 'exhibition' or auxiliary markets,
  3. Creating a successful marketing campaign to attract the target and wider audience into seeing the film.

Representation (Adriana)

Representation

  • The characters we will introduce in our title sequence is the young adult and the child and her friend slightly.
  • The social classes shown is midr class, with the ABC scale of C
  • We represent these groups by what they were and the accomidation they are in, it is will kept in decent looking homes. However, we subvert the stereotype as the character will be black, instead of the typical working class protagonist being white.

Research: Existing Distribution Companies

1.Zodiac

It was distributed by Paramount Pictures in the US and by Warner Bros internationally. The marketing tools that they used were posters, adverts in forms of a movie trailer and it had its own website. It was widely released in several cinemas. After its release, it became available on DVD, Blu Ray. In the box office, it made over $84 million and its DVD sales was 21,139,119.

Fatal Attraction

It was distributed by Paramount Pictures and it was widely released. As it was released in 1987, they may have used posters and a movie trailer. From 2005, there was Special Collector's Edition of the Film and in 2009, it was released on Blu - ray. It did exceedingly well in the box office as it made $ 320,145,693 worldwide and made $70,000,000 in rentals  

Paramount Pictures owns CBS Television Studios & the CW Television Network.In an addition to this, it has a hotel called 'Paramount Hotels and Resorts' and it owns 50% in a India based PVR cinemas Dubai.

As both of the films were distributed, the likelihood of Paramount Pictures distributed your film is minimal as the budget for their films is over millions, whereas as we are students, our budget for our film is very limited in comparison. 
Another reason is that they mainly distribute action/adventure and the genre of our film is a mystery/horror.

Planning, props

Props.
This is all our main props that will be used in our title sequence.

Planning costume ideas

Task 1
 Spiderman
Spiderman has a distinctive costume that all audiences recognises,  a spiderman costume. It has a webbed design to represent a spider. When he isn't in costume he dresses very casual as he is a college student. His makeup is bruises and scars, this shows that he is invokced in violence.
Mean girls
Mean girls have a early 2000 style woch consists of low jeans, and mini skirts,  anything thats shows a bit of skin. Pink is s colour often worn too, this emphasis the style of girls they are. They also wear high heels which seems unessesary to school but this shows their high maintenance behaviour. Their make is quite noticeable yet natural. 
Batman, the joker
The joker has an unusual costume as his makep contradicts his outfit. The outfit is suit of wrird colours which is green and purple.  The colours alone shoe the strange characteristics.  The makeup is a white face with bold red line along the mouth to represent a slit.

Task 2

My name is Jade, I'm 17 years old and in high school. I am judged by the way I dress, apparently its not girly enough, its too thug. Due to peoples perception of me, I hang with the boys instead of the girls. I am steretyped as ghetto as i go to a white dominated school. Despite the discrimination,  when one of my bullied are in trouble, I help them.

Task 3
This red lipstick will be worn by the patient,  in the sequence she will apply this every morning when she wakes up, like it's her identity/costume. This will contradicts with her stalking behaviour as the lipstick is put on as a trade mark 





Planning: Mise-en-scene



Planning: Props

Planning: Costume Ideas

Task 1 Characters in films with memorable costumes:



The Hunger Games - Effie Trinket: She seems to be wearing a wig (as her hair does seem to change throughout the movie) with a giant pink flower hat on top of it, Her face is very pale due to the make up with pink eyeshadow and lipstick. The theme of her costume seems to be pink and flowery as the scarf is also pink and has flowers on it, her dress has puffy shoulders and is of course pick.

Breakfast at Tiffany's - Holly Golightly: this costume is quite sophisticated, she is in a basic black dress with long black gloves, draped her with five rows of jewels and topped it off with a mini-tiara. The costume is very simple but elegant and beautiful.







Edward Scissorhands - Edward Scissorhands
wearing a white shirt and suspenders, black hair his make has been done in away to make him like less human and he has blades for hands.








Task 2

Here is Amelia, she is the main character in the title sequence around 29 years old and works as a manager in a fashion retail store her role in the title sequence is the stalker no one would expect her to be the stalker as her personality is fun and bubbly but she is the 'villian' in the title sequence.
