Production Company

Our Production Company name is: 

 

We chose the word "INDISTINCTIVE" as our production company would be focusing on Film Noir genre type films, which is fitting to the definition that an object/person does not have a distinct feature. Which is also apparent in Film Noir as most of the lighting makes the characters or certain objects indistinct, so the audience cannot see clearly. 

This certain title font was used originally from Dafont.com, which is called "ERTHQAKE". We used this originally because it suits the definition of indistinctive as it is blurry and not clear.

We are using this logo for our production company as the clear picture shows the eye looking, but it is filled with a spiral to highlight that the vision when watching our films is delusional and indistinct.

Catharsis

cathartic-
is a term providing psychological relief for the audience through the expression of strong emotion when they see something on sceen (e.g villain is found)

The word comes from a greek word, Katharsis meaning 'purification' or 'cleansing' and is a sudden emotional breakdown or climax that constitutes overwhelming feelings of great pity, sorrow, laughter, or any extreme change in emotion that results in renewal, restoration, and revitalization.

We used a carthartic experience throughout our teaser trailer as the audience will go through intense scenes which the characters go through. This will be shown when the audience are watching the argument and the fight between the Detective and Raymond and a sudden cut to a scene of quietness.

Social Networking - Twitter and Tumblr

TWITTER

https://twitter.com/indistinctive14

Our Production Company: Indistinctive Productions has made an account on Twitter and Tumblr to appeal to our target audiences who will most likely be using social networking sites such as Twitter on daily basis. They can follow the production of the film with behind the scenes images of filming and the actors. They can follow this up right until the teaser trailer comes out, then eventually when the film releases in the cinema. This will also bring box office sales up as they will know the exact date when the film will be coming out and have seen the teaser trailer right from the start to excite them to see them film rather than seeing the trailer on Television. They will also be able to see the posters and the magazine release date before anyone else as they will be able to look up the links on the Twitter website.

Codes and Conventions of Film Noir

BBFC TARGET AUDIENCE also OUR TARGET AUDIENCE

BBFC: The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), before 1985 known asBritish Board of Film Censors, is a non-governmental organization, founded by the film industry in 1912 and responsible for the national classification and censorship of films within the United Kingdom. It has a statutory requirement to classify videos, DVDs and, to a lesser extent, some video games under theVideo Recordings Act 2010.

PURPOSE OF THE BBFC: BBFC age ratings (text and symbols) are identifiable, understandable, trusted and consistent in their application and meaning.

Using them allows viewers to make safe, informed decisions about the content they choose for themselves and their family.

OUR BBFC AGE RATING AND CLASSIFICATION AND WHY:

TARGET AUDIENCE AND THEIR AGE (ALSO SOCIAL NETWORKING)

As you can see from this we have a male, who mostly uses the social networking site Facebook and aged 18. This would be our main target audience age range. Also the networking site that we will be using is Facebook to bring in a larger target audience and for audiences to connect. 

Male and female: both using social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter (our twitter account: https://twitter.com/indistinctive14) both aged 19. Due to film noir having a typically male audience due to the action and plot, we have subverted the stereotypical role and had female characters as our main characters, which attracts a female audience. 

Male, aged 18. Using Twitter as social networking account he uses daily is useful when connecting and knowing our audiences. These social audiences will be able to find out recent news and be updated through our twitter account, they can also interact with other audience members and the cast and crew themselves via online. 

 Our target audience age range is starting from 15 years old through the BBFC classification. The film can intrigue younger audiences through the action in the plot. 

All of these female are aged 18. They would be intrigued by the plot as we have subverted the main role from male to female. The romance in the plot would also attract female audiences into watching. Most of these females are dialy users of Facebook, but also Tumblr- (our Tumblr account: http://indistinctiveproduction.tumblr.com/) we would use this Tumblr account as a production company by using the ideas from audiences, interacting with them through inbox and looking at their film noir style blogs.
