Our distribution company



An example of an independent film which aimed to convey realism with a minority of props like ours



A good example of a film which has used handheld cameras with jolty footage similuar to what we have done



Long time dead film- has sequences which expresses elements of a phycological thriller



My little eye-contains elements of our film

Taking our narrative, theme and genre into consideration we adjucated that Working Titles would be the appropriate choice in terms of our production company. This is because:
It holds particular emphasis on films institutionally which entails the same genre as us such as My Little eye ( hybrid genre) released in 2002 the synospis being that five adults agree to spend six months together in an isolated mansion while being filmed at all times.This film was also distributed by Universal studios and cost only $3 million dollars to make. The idea for the film came from reality television shows such as Big Brother with the  title refering to the guessing game I spy.
 Another similuar film is Long time dead also filmed in 2002 where a group of students hold an ouija boad to hold a seance triggering a chain of violent deaths containing elements of  a phycological thriller as well as horror again conforming to tradtional stereotypical conventions.Both these films subvert against tradtionally genred working titles as they usually produce chick flicks such as 4 weddings and a funeral. However we desired that our film came across as typically english conventionalised through the use of realisim and characterisation instead of conforming to the typical american horror such as the exorcist which over exagerates characters in terms of Mise-en scene( though we did have elements of surrealism but contrasted it against realism to balance the film out).
It also contains elements of a low budget film such as amatuer camera work/ shots which enable the useage of both still and jolty shots. The best example would be the 1999 American horror Blair Witch Project which shows clear evidence of the previous statement.
   The fundamental job of the Working Titles production company is to decide on the set budget for the film 
as well as providing the financial income that they need for the film in terms of the following factors:

• How much gross revenue they feel they can accumulate on estimation ( in terms of the Box office)
• What is their target audience? For example Somers Town directed by Shane Meadows was an independent film which decided to be realistic and just appeal to a british audience as worldwide a documentary style film will not generate much profit

They are also responsible for making the decisons that include choosing the cast, directors, editors and photographers which they feel will convey the films elements most effectively as well as their own indiviual repitoire.In terms of our distributor we chose Universal studios as they are a large American company who would be willing to fund low budget british films such as ours and have done on numerous occasions increasing in dependability. It also allows better recognition of the film as well as being able to have enough financial income for advertising purposes such as trailers and posters.

 During our opening scene most of our film titles make an appearance, typically against the characters themselves as a form of identification.Traditionally films follow a particular discourse convention of : Producer, Distributor,Director and then the list of the cast which we have subverted against as we started with actors names, camera person followed by the title at the end of the sequence.
