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

We decided that we were going to call our production company JEM Productions. We came up with the idea of JEM because it is the first initials of all our first names, Jessica, Elizabeth and Mia. We also liked the idea of JEM because it has girly ring to it.

For our logo we chose all of our eyes to be on the background and for it to be in red, blue and green, it goes in the order of the name as to who’s eye belongs to who. We decide that we would use the colours because it makes us stand out for our differences however; all of the colours go together well to show that we are a group. We used a plain text for the text because we didn’t want the logo to be too detailed and in your face that you wouldn’t notice anything else.

We didn’t have any inspiration from any other production logos, this was because we came up with it together and it shows that we are different from any other production company.

This is Summit Entertainment’s logo, I have chosen this logo to compare how different our logo is, compared to this logo. I think that our logo is more eye catching and colourful for the audience to look at. However, this logo draws your eye to the centre of the logo, the text. It is more dominating then the picture that is situated just behind it.

By putting these two logos next to each other than you can clearly see the differences between them.

Both of these are logos are an “advertisement” of the company, this is why they are used at the beginning of the movie they have distributed.

These two logos are the same- they both have symbols that the audience will instantly recognise even if they don’t have the writing to match up with it, the audience will still know. What I like about both of these logos are they have an image on them, JEM has three eyes to represent viewing audience.

We created the logo by taking a photo of all of our eyes in the group, putting it on a software that we could then change the colour, size, fit them together and put a text over the top. The text and the image are very similar to the Summit logo, they both have text and an image, they do not have to be the same text and the same image, but this is what makes them similar.

I chose Paramount Pictures because a lot of successful thriller films have been released but these:

•       Shutter Island

•       Abandoned

•       The Conversation

    •       Psycho

These are a selected few that are released by this famous and successful media disturber.

Paramount Pictures are based in Hollywood, California, United States of America. They were founded in 1912 as Famous Players film Company, then in 1914 changed to what is known currently as Paramount Pictures. Adolph Zukor and his partners Daniel Froham and Charles Froham founded them.

They have released a number of thrillers and they have been a success, so I would want our thriller opening to be distributed by them. Shutter Island was a very successful when it was realised and is still very successful to this day, Psycho was very successful when it was first released many years ago. Psycho links to our thriller opening, with the innocent, lonely girl that ends up getting murdered by an unknown killer; this is why I have decided that we could use Paramount Pictures.

A disturber is a company that release a movie to the public and the cinemas around the world. They are the ones that decided whether the film will go to the cinema or straight to DVD, they also advise the film and make the public know that there is a film coming out.

If we need money to make our film and get it out to the public, then we will get the money from Paramount Pictures. They will pay for anything that will be needed to create the film, then they get their money back from advising and from releasing the film. This is how the movies are funded and how Paramount Pictures get their money back and make money. 

In the credits people are mentioned and the job they did associated to the filming or to the movie as a whole. The first people to come up on credits are the actors and the roles they played, the main characters are the first on the credits. Then it is the people like director, co-director, cameramen and women, editors, make-up artists, costume designer and then it goes on to the little jobs that need doing and people get mentioned that way for doing them.

In our thriller opening we decided that we was going to have our group in the order of the title JEM this meant that I was first and my job role- Camera work-, Elizabeth –Director- and Mia –‘The girl’ actor- this was how we decided that we would have the credits. The reason we didn’t put the characters in a normal order was because we thought all of our group did a lot of work and put the same amount of effort into all of it. This is how we decided that we would do it in the order we did. We also had pictures of each of our group, this was a good thing because we all played a role in the film, so as well as showing each of us, it played a important part in our opening.

This is the credit we put into our thriller opening
