Evaluation Three: Institutions

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

I designed my own media institutions in the credits of my film , Astraea Distributions and Open Blind Productions as I felt their connotations of nightlife and shedding light were appropriate to the contextual nature of my film.

Had I not chosen to create my own production and distribution industries, Regency Enterprises would be an excellent choice as a production company as its private nature will allow for more freedom with the control of the films running. They have produced some incredibly successful drama films, such as Gone Girl, Fight Club, 12 Years a Slave, A Cure for Wellness and The Big Short; all of which, conform to a different subcategory of drama. Psychological, mystery, historical, economic and paranormal. The institutions experience with the drama genre would be intensely beneficial in regards to aiding my films production.

20th Century Fox would be excellent in terms of distributing the final film to audiences, some of the most legendary drama films in the modern era, Titanic, Cast Away and Life of Pi, were all distributed to mass audiences through 20th Century Fox and their marketing techniques as well as huge status in the film industry would aid the films global reach significantly in regards to publicity.

Evaluation Seven: Progression

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product? Planning. My preliminary task was painfully unplanned, and it was blatantly obvious. I'm a perfectionist, and it killed me to submit that video under my name. But my poor time management forced it through and I have no-one but myself to blame. Besides learning to understand the importance of time management and how extensive planning aids projects significantly; I learnt a number of cinematic skills in progression from my preliminary- how to reduce white noise and background sound, how to enhance lighting features, how to follow the 180 degree rule accurately. I.e. not placing my character directly against the wall so it becomes virtually impossible to carry out an over the shoulder shot. Exhibit A: But rather allowing plenty of access to the characters blind spots to get the best angles for different shots and therefore different meanings and impacts...

Evaluation-Marking

1) Well written. Some good points about conventions. Good on introduction of character. Not sure about mix of shot types point 2) Good stuff on the white male and demonisation of mental illness. Women as victims? 3) ' freedom with the control of the films running' I think this is a good point but it needed a little more explanation 4 ' cultural capital of audiences'??? Again a good point I think but you've over-complicated. 5) Some evidence of an understanding of marketing but more explanation would have been better. 6) Fairly basic points but covered all 7) A good post made much better with the addition of a director's commentary. The binary opposites of your two pieces...weirdo.

Year 13 Advice

I attend a new sixth form at FitzWimarc, and so access to year 13 students is limited, as we don't have any. However, I was able to gather some memoirs from general friends I have that have taken media studies at college or other sixth forms, and even at University. Also access to Shenfield blogs have granted particular assets in gaining peer advice and experienced opinions. 'Set your scene up the day before the shoot, this saves time and helps you mentally prepare.' In a way I feel this may be the most valuable piece of advice I have received, ever. One of my key flaws as a creative is my hatred of setting things in stone. I am the human embodiment of juxtaposition as I simultaneously maintain the most spontaneous control-freak persona, constantly - and it shows. I may try to convince myself the lie that 'I can pull it off in time' or 'the idea will hit me eventually'. But after hearing this I feel I may need to get over my slight fear of permanently s...
