Institutions

Likely institutions that would publish my film would be a independent firm. The likelihood being that it is an independent British institution, such as BBC Films or Film 4.














The reason being:
  • My film will be low-budget.
  • It won't have the financial backing of institutions such as Warner Bros.
  • It is unlikely to make a huge profit.
  • There is no need for extra merchandise - less money spent.
  • Niché market
Some examples of films produced by these institutions:
  • Saving Mr Banks (BBC Films)
  • Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa (BBC Films)
  • Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (BBC Films)
  • Billy Elliot (BBC Films)
  • Le Week-end (Film 4)
  • The Inbetweeners Movie (Film 4)
  • The Iron Lady (Film 4)
  • Slumdog Millionaire (Film 4) 






Sound

Reservoir Dogs:

















How it works?: The sound creates tension, yet introduces the characters. It gives a persona to each character, and adds to the pace of the film. The music is cool, calm and collective, just like the characters are. It also helps set the scene. The sound is non-diegetic as it isn't natural, and has been added to create dramatic effect. This works well as it creates tension and characterises the main protagonists.
How it made me feel?: It makes me want to continue watching the film. It creates a good feeling, a sense of coolness amongst the characters. It does create tension, as it made me wonder what will happen next.
