What does a production company do?
A production company is in charge of the making of the film. They are asserted the role of developing the film to a finished product. Production companies develop the name of the film and manage all that goes on during the making of the film. They are given the sole responsibility for funding the making of the film.
What is your idea of a film distributor?
A film distributor has the task of purchasing the rights to distribute a film from the production company. Once they have purchased the distribution rights, the distribution will then go forth and distribute the film to cinemas and retail outlets in the form of DVD's. In return the distribution company receives a percentage of the sales.
Who might be the distributor for your film and why?
Due to the low budget and small scale production of our film we are aware that our film is not going to be a major blockbuster. Therefore our film is not going to have a premiere, and will not be expected to be screened in many cinemas. We anticipate that the distributor of our film is most likely to be small scale and independent. An example includes Entertainment films which is the largest independent film distributor in the UK.
Where would the money the come form for a film such as yours?
Due to the small scale of our film we will be expected to bare the brunt of all of the costs that arise from the production of our film. This is because unlike large scale high budget films we will not benefit from a production company. It will be important that we keep our costs low although this will create many limitations in what we are able to create.
Why have the various people been named in your titles? Which jobs appear in your titles and in what order and how have you reflected this?
The various people that heave been named in our titles have been named because they made a significant contribution to the making of the film. Because our production was such small scale we only have the names of the three members in our group. The order in which the names appear are in accordance with the importance of their role. The director and chief camera man appear first, this is because the director plays the most important role in ensuring the direction of the film. It is common that the director appears at the beginning of the title sequence. Second to appear in the title sequence in the name of the chief editor and producer. This is because the producer plays a vital role in the making of the film and without them the making of the film would not be made possible. Third to appear in the title sequence is the name of the supporting camera man and editor. This name appears third in the sequence because they are supporting and therefore their of less importance than the chief editor and camera man.
How is your film similar 'institutionally' to others? Name some films which would be released in a similar way.
We predict that or film will be distributed regionally, around the London area and the south east of England. This is because we don't expect that our film will be a huge blockbuster and we a have chosen to screen it in regions that we feel our film will do best in. Because of this we can draw similarities to other small scale, low budget films such as This is England as this was very much a regionally targeted film as it was not expected to do great nationally.
