EvaluationQ3.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
An institution is an organisation or company, public or privately owned that produces or/and distributes media products.
A Media institution that might distribute our media product (title sequence Captive) could be a convergence of Loinsgate and Universal Pictures. This can help our film be published and advertised world wide to all types of people whatever their profession, income, status, gender, ethnicity, disability. Universal Pictures is an American institution so our title sequence could become very successful.
Our film Captive might be distributed by a major company because it follows most of the forms and conventions of a Thriller genre film. Our film is a psychological thriller. This film will appeal the most to people who like mind game films.
If our title sequence was distributed by a independent distribute then the film probably wouldn't have a lot of publicity and it would be on Film4 as they only play independent film e.g. A Field In England and Slumdog Millionaire.
They would first put the film in cinemas internationally or normally depending on how big the distribution company is.
The film will then go out in supermarkets in the form of DVDs, Magazines, Games and other types of medias that can reach the audience.
The Internet can promote films as well. For example, online newspapers, social networks, magazines, blogs and the radio can help our film be advertised to that it is successful.
Or target audience starts at 14 as not all thrillers are scary for example. Final Destionation and Abduction. Our film is not scary at all, its just confusing due to the sterotypical gender roles switched which is one of a convention (mind games).

Final Title Sequence
After several weeks, this is our final title sequence that we successfully made:
We have completed it after several weeks of planning and producing. It took a lot of work but i believe that we couldn't do a better job as we all tried to make it better by suggestions. We took on the teacher/peer feedback and produced this title sequence. This is the final title sequence for Captive:
This title sequence reminds me of the title sequence of Sin City as they are both black and white. We changed the transition on the actual title as we asked our teacher if it looked right and she said no.
Overall i think my group worked well as a team and we all co-operated well with each other with no arguments.

Last Changes
After watching our title sequence a couple of times, we decided that we need to play around with our editing a bit more.
We added a few more shots to our title sequence to show more hints of Christian playing a Doctor
We used Bad Film which is a type of filter that we liked. The hints were the Doctor doing an experiment which they do naturally. This filter works well because it gives an old vibe to the title sequence.
The other thing that we did was edit the bit where Christian is walking along the road after Maria. Lucy used a dissolve transition which repeated his walk slightly. Some of us in the group didn't really understand why we put it in there because it make his character look ghostly which is not what we want the character to come across as. As we couldn't change the transition we just decided to make the pace a bit faster to give that bit of the title sequence a fast paced feel.
We were able as a group to say that we didn't necessarily like a bit in the title sequence and we changed it so that everyone in the group felt comfortable moving on with the title sequence.
