For this activity I am looking into which media institution might be interested into my kind of film and why. So I will need to look into my script to use references why I believe my script will be distributed to an institution.
From my script I had to pick key sections that a distributer would be interested in. In this case the key features from my intro that I believed are well looked for in my genre are the following: the freaky tree, Climatic jump scare, reading the Necronomicon pages and the POV of the creature from the hedge. These features I think will really stand out to the film distributers because it really captures what the theme and genre of my film is about and why it would be so successful to be distributed by production companies. The reasons why theses shots are successful are for the following reasons.
Firstly most of these shots are very tense and they build up a lot suspense in each scene so it makes it work very effectively. In particular these work with, the Freaky looking tree and the climax of the intro with the final jump-scare used at the end which often happens in these scenes. Another key reason is that it doesn't show the creatures appearance throughout the intro so it can make it more thrilling for the audience guessing what this terrifying creature is going to look like. My final key feature of my script is to ensure that the characters are firmly introduced and recognised so the audience can grow and develop a slight bond between themselves and the characters which is what my film would primarily want to achieve. This is all important because these are the key things that film distributors will look for when they prepare to potentially invest in the film and these are the key links to which they try to promote for them to ensure that it successfully gets promoted and released to make investment.
My Script
The key production company could be from a number of different companies because Sci-Fi horror is generally a really adaptable type of genre. These are big companies that provide money to the film institution that wants to invest in this film. I think my main film production companies that could invest in my film could be from Lionsgate, a specialised horror film production company or from the larger one such as 20th Centaury Fox. This is because 20th Centaury Fox has a very good History with Sci-fi horror films such as Alien (19790 being a huge box office success and runs to a similar genre to that of my film, But also they may like to adapt this new type of story plot and potentially make a huge box office success about it and have successful sales Whilst Lionsgate would like the idea coz it is a genre that they specialise in and they may like the slight blend of Sci-fi also added into this genre of film. And also because its a slightly darker film which is what they specialise in, so they would know how to successfully distribute a film like this one.
The film can also be distributed through Entertainment film distributers because it has a very successful history and marketing big films and by linking it in with 20th Centaury as it would really take sales off and become a real success. With Lionsgate it may also work because it also has made some huge success in the box office so again it would maximise my film really becoming well known and public.

For my film intro I have arranged each of key things that star in my film in a special order. Firstly I put the production company first and links it in with the horror theme to really catch out that tis production company does mean business. Next I will put the cast down to recognise their talent when the characters come on screen in order of most importance within the film. Then when the credits are finished then I will put the order of the crew from least important to most important by the end of the intro before the name of the film comes on to show the production companies who has directed this film and that they specialise in this genre to further improve companies sales in the future with other successful films.
Institutionally my Film follows a similar path to that of Alien or Predator. These films are also both distributed by 20th century fox and both have similar horror Sci-fi theme so they both have gone through very similar processes. Both were reviewed and the marketed into their distributing companies and then made their appearance to the production company to review the film and see how it looked before going ahead and releasing the film into cinema when it was completed. This will be easy to follow as both these films and my film have very similar techniques within them so it distributing my film along the lines of this one will be very easy to achieve.
Now I will move on to activity 4.
