3. What kind of media institution might
distribute your media product and why?
Production companies
Production companies help to
develop a film, providing it with
resources such as assistance on
budgeting, scripting and casting
This is important because it helps to make the
film become successful as much as possible
They analyse the finished
product, making a
judgement on whether the
film meets certain standards
What films did I research?
I researched one film and 3 film
opening sequences. I decided to
research 3 AS media coursework
opening sequences made by previous
media students as this would give me
a better understanding and
interpretation of the task brief
The real film called 'The Purge 2:
Anarchy' that I researched in much
depth, gave me an insight as to what
contributes into making a real film
