A production company is a company who are responsible for producing new media, including films. They also may be associated to the funding of films. Production companies vary in size, depending on whether it sells its products to a film studio or a cinema. However a film can be made with multiple companies/conglomerates.
If our film was made as a Hollywood blockbuster, it would be produced either by Miramax films, Paramount Pictures or Warner bro’s. These companies have been around for years, and have produced films such as Kill Bill, The Godfather, Superman and Pulp Fiction. These are all large scale films which have created a large profit at the box office.
If our film was made on a small budget; it would be ideal to choose an independent film company like working titles. Although our film may only screen in picture houses or specialized cinemas, due to the high demand on Hollywood films our film has a lower chance of making it into the cinemas. If we filmed the entire film in England, we would receive a tax deduction, making it cheaper to film. We could also apply for funding from the national film council or the national lottery.
A popular choice from completely new film makers is YouTube. This is a free service, where anyone can upload a video. A short film can be uploaded onto YouTube in a matter of minutes and distributed to millions of people. Social networking sites, helps film makers share their films by posting a status about it, or just sharing the link with someone. The release date of our film would be during the summer holidays where alot of 16 plus are on holiday, this would attract a greater audience.
