PRODUCTION COMPANIES

• Production Companies are companies which partake in the in the production and how films are distributed. The companies are not necessarily large successful institutions, but can in fact be independent. However if seeking proper funding the larger institutions are generally more favourable.

LARGE FILM PRODUCTION

• The companies have huge budgets which allows them to buy shares in high vale films and promising smaller films.

• The budget allows for a wide use of marketing this increases the profit the production company makes and the amount the film generates.

• Relies heavily on distribution with the means DVD’s, BluRay and varied methods of merchandise.

SMALL FILM PRODUCTION

• The small independent film companies have significantly lower budgets due to big production companies not having shares. Without this backing less recognisable films can be made due to a minor budget.

• Due to their smaller budgets the companies are less likely to distribute their items on new media products eg. BluRay.

• Also the smaller audiences mean that less money is brought in which keeps the companies small.

MY DISTRIBUTION

• Realistically I would prefer my film to be distributed by a large company. Although I respect the work of smaller companies I

feel that to suitably produce my film a larger company would be a wiser choice. The budget of the film would have to be large enough to produce specific techniques to my film. Without this

my film wouldn’t live up to the expectations it could achieve with guaranteed backing.

MY DISTRIBUTION

• My choice would have to be Universal Studios.

• They provided the most successful thriller director Alfred Hitchcock the means to succeed brilliantly.

• The budget is literally limitless, and would further gross huge profit.

• Disney was an option but I feel they produce rather youthful films in oppose to a hard hitting thriller film.
