Distribution of our film
When distributing a film it is important that we choose the right distribution company and maximising profit.
Walt Disney:
Disney Studios distributes all across the world which would benefit to us as it will maximize our profits as we can reach a greater audience. However, the name Disney has a particular reputation of children's entertainment and will not want to damage this by distributing a horror film. Therefore, Touchstone -a company owned by marvel- will be available to provide the same service as Disney Studios. Touchstone will be able to distribute our film as it is also a large company that will be able to distribute all across the world. We would have to implement the Touchstone logo into our opening sequence as the audience would recognize the distribution company and instantly know what our film entails. Therefore the audience will know what to expect based on previous films that have been distributed by Touchstone and will think positively of our film as a result. For example, the film Signs (2002) was a suspense building film similar to our film.
Columbia Pictures:
This is an American distribution company of the Columbia TriStar Motivation Pictures group. This will aid us in distributing in America as it is where we would like to distribute to mostly. This is because the there are millions of people in the Hollywood demographic making it perfect to making a profit. Although, our film is primarily targeted at the British audience between the ages if 15-24 I believe that our film can be successful in America. Columbia Pictures is also part of Sony Entertainment and a subsidiary of the conglomerates. As Columbia Pictures is a part of Sony it also has a reputation of producing similar films that we hope will effect our film in a positive way. A similar film to Redwood is Underworld: Awakening which is a action/horror.
Universal:
This too is an American distribution company as it has a headquarters in California. Therefore, we will be able to distribute our film in America, helping us maximise our profit margin. But it also has one in the United Kingdom in London which is our primary location. Universal owns 15% of the distribution market which a huge amount that will be able to make our film a success. This is because they will have the resources such as capital to be able distribute across all of Europe and America. As we will only have limited finance, we may not be able to distribute across the world but only Europe and America. Which is damaging to our box office but Europe and America are both major places to distribute and we feel that these regions are necessary to distribute to in order to make a successful film.

Donnie Darko: end credits
Donnie Darko
The background for the end credits is white suggesting purity and innocence. However, it is also uneven with noticeable darker spots on it suggesting deeper aspects. This represents the main character as he is innocent at heart but cannot control himself. as he is mentally ill. This is also backed up by the font style as there are many. This could be interpreted as different sides to Donnie's personality which are much darker.
The music in the background as we watch the credits is very moving. This is to make the last scene of Donnies death more emotional and we connect more, If we can connect more to the characters then we feel a greater sense of happiness or sadness is something good or bad happens to a character, In this respect, we as an audience are able to sympathize with Donnie Darko's family. The point of building a rapport with the audience as it leeds to a better understanding and relationship with the characters.
Then the rest of the credits appear in a solid black font suggesting simplicity and lack of meaning. The colour of the font, black. sharply contrasts the white background conveying a bipolar or schizophrenic aspect to Donnie Darko which effects millions or people. We feel somewhat distressed by this thought as we find it hard to understand how it effects people and how to behave around the mentally ill and so become outcasts to society.
The transition of one the fonts is a fade which connotes peace possible for the death of Donnie Darko. The peaceful transitions working in time with the music create a tranquil atmosphere for the audience. However, the transitions for the next font are more ordered suggesting the more sophisticated and unforgiving parts of society who can not and will not understand other peoples view.
My group and I may use a similar font in order to create the same simple feeling that Donnie Darko has captured. If we do this then the music must compliment each other perfectly otherwise what we are trying to capture will not be done correctly.

Preliminary task
I edited the first 16 seconds of the video, Matt Lloyd then did the next 12 seconds until 0:28 and Ewan Griffiths did the last 24 seconds.
There is an initial establishing shot for 0:07 seconds long to show the audience the location. The a continuity low angle shot follows which flows with the film. We have purposely practiced continuity in order to improve our editing skills. We have also practiced the 180 degree during a conversation as we need to use this in our final film.
