Evaluation activity 3



A production company produces films and is responsible for the development and physical production. In earlier research we looked at various film institutions that could produce our film. We decided after our initial research that we would choose Universal pictures. Universal has produced many thriller films over the years including Psycho and cape fear.


In our title sequence we showcased the actor’s names in order of the way they appear on screen. We also showcased the name of the 'camera man' and director (Maria Rostkowska) but we showed her name after the actor's because it is traditionally the actor's who are more impotant to the viewers and therefore their names come up first, none the less, the 'camera man' and director are also important to the film, and are usually displayed when the ret of the credits appear. We also included the title of the film again before the cliff-hanger at the end, allowing the full production credits to roll in the main title sequence that would follow the cliff-hanger.Universal has shown a tendency in the past to release new stand alone films such as Cape Fear and Psycho. It is because of this that we chose Universal to produce and release our film as they have experience in dealing with new upcoming films, with the potential for sequels based on the success of the film.
When discussing where we would find the financial backing for a film such as ours, we looked at possible sponsers, people within the film/media industry that would want to invest in the project. However if we wanted to make the film a big success, we thought it would be much better finding a company like Universal Studios, then presenting our script to them and trying to get them to buy the script and produce the film with a decent budget.
