What kind of media institution might distribute my film?

The Studio I decided to use for my media product was Warner brothers, I made this decision based on their long and illustrious past with film noir during the golden age of Hollywood. Warner Bro's were the original studio for creating film noir in the 1940's, back when they were just getting started they made money through the genre as creating films that fit this genres codes and conventions was cheap and easy. Outside sets that didn't need money for props were used instead of building sets from scratch and effects such as dry ice for smoke and expert light use made it cheap to produce good results. 
I created my own production company 'Constantine Film Productions' to work along side Warner Bros studio, by creating my own production company I was given creative freedom in both the style and genre on the production company clip, I was able to give it a darker undertone which fits in with my media product. 
In the film industry production companies are responsible for aspects such as fundraising for the production of the film, which may be through parent companies, partner companies or private investors. It is often the production companies which handle the budgeting for the film as well as looking into the talents such as actors, artists and music producers available for a film. Scripting and post-production work is also handled by production companies. It is also down to the production companies to handle distribution, marketing and advertisement of the film once completed. It is often found that production companies usually work for or are part of larger film studios or entertainment companies, this has become known as the 'studio system'

Making my Production Company...


Using the software Adobe After Affects I created a film production company. By deciding to create my own production company, I was trying to show initiative and understanding of technical aspects of media.


To begin with I had to watch tutorials to teach myself about Adobe After Effects After that was done it was simple to move on with the process. Deciding what image and name was the next step. I chose my surname as the company title to make it clear that I was the one creating the film but decided to have a pentagram as the image. This decision was based on the darker role undercurrent I wanted for the film. 


The effect I used was a distortion effect, this made the image appear shaky at certain intervals on my choosing, I decided to go with this type of effect as it build mystery and adds tension from the get go as it is an effect usually seen in thrillers, and horror movies buts before a film cuts off and although my Film is a film noir I wanted it to have a darker undercurrent.


Every aspect of the production company was made by and edited by me, by working alone I was able to create Exactly what I wanted. I used black and white as a colour scheme as I wanted a link to the past and old film noir.
