Task 4: Producers and Distributors

What I have learnt:

After my research of these distribution and production companies, I have discovered which company I would like to produce my Coming of Age film. Film 4 is a perfect choice because they are associated with bringing up and encouraging young actors and also produce some coming of age films. I have also understood the difference between between a production company and a distribution company which I didn't know before this piece of research. Finally, I was surprised by the amount of different companies with different amounts of money, audiences and genres.#

Checklist For My Opening Sequence:

• Don't reveal too much of the narrative.
• Use a catchy soundtrack to engage my audience.
• Correct institution information used.
• Make the main character the focus of the narrative.
• Film the video in landscape and not portrait as it will make it difficult to edit.
• Make the actors speak clearly and slowly to make it easy to edit and understandable.
• Stick to the 180 degree rule unless I am braking it to add effect and demonstrate confusion.
• Use close ups.
• Think about costume to represent a social group.
• Make a clear plan/storyboard.
• Make transitions seamless.
• Use Film 4 as my institution company as they are usually low budget films and bring up encouraging actors.
