What does a production company do?
A production company is basically in control of the whole overall production. They pay for all the costs of the film and are asserted the role of overlooking the directors. The directors will come up with the initial idea but the production are enabled to make changes to this idea if they do not agree with it. This is because its there money thats being invested into the film.
What is your idea of a film distributor?
My idea of a film distributor would be the people that have the job of getting your finished product/film onto the big screen or on dvd to make your revenue and/or box office sales. The film distributor has to by the distribution rights off of the production company which is then sold to the cinemas. Both parties get a percentage ofthe sales when the film is shown
Who might be the distributor for your film and why?
Our film was created with an awfully low budget and its more of an independent type movie that would not be distributed onto cinemas but rather shown on television or available to purchase on dvd. I don't feel that i would that our film would require a premiere or even box office sales due to the relatively small size of the production. with all of the above factors being taken into account i believe that the best film distributor for our film would be one like film 4 that have distributed many other small productions such as 'this is England'
Where would the money come from for a film such as yours?
The money for a film would come from loads of different investors as its not a blockbuster budget film such as avatar or many others. Therefore it would be best to get loads of different investors that just invest small amounts of cash.
Why have the various people been named in your titles? which jobs appear in your titles and what order and how have you reflected this?
We have chosen to include titles in our opening film sequence as it shows and gives credit to the people that were involved in the production. Jobs such as camera editor played a big part in creating the film therefore we felt that the people in these job roles deserved a mention in the credits therefore we put them in the titeles. we also chose the people and job roles put in the titles based on other films in the gangster genre such as the godfather.
How's your film similar institutionally to others? Name some films which would be released in a similar way.
Our film is of a small production type therefore any other small production film would be similar institutionally to ours. These could be any film that has been released by independent film company's such as film4. one on film4's most famous releases would be 'this is England'. so i would say that 'this is England' is similar institutionally to our film opening sequence.
