Q3

Q3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

We decided that our production company name would be ‘Yellow Gun Productions’. We got the name from our preliminary in which the killer has a banana as a gun. A Production company company is responsible for most aspects of a film. They will take the responsibilities of finding a director and finding the actors to be in the production. The director will pitch an idea to the production company and it is up to the production company whether or not to take it on and make it real. The production company will then set budgets, manage scripts and sort out schedules.

We decided that Universal Studios would be our distribution company for Le Monde.  Universal Studios Home Entertainment is one of the sub divisions of Universal Studios and has an impressive list of Thrillers including the ‘Double Indemnity’ and Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Vertigo’. Universal pictures are the 4^th oldest production company in the world and the oldest in America. This gives the experience, expertise and money that would be need to fund our film that we need. Universal pictures had a revenue of $4.2 billion in 2011 clearly showing that they are one of the most successful production company’s in the world.

As a producer Qeuntin Tarantino has actually used his Hollywood power and status to give smaller and foreign films more attention than they might have received otherwise. Therefore our film would be something that he may produce as we are small and have created a foreign film influenced heavily by his work. Films similar to ours that Tarantino has produced are ‘Chungking Express’ (1994) and ‘The Beyond’ (1981). Chungking Express was a Chinese drama and The Beyond was an Italian horror.
