Operating model

How does the company go about making the film?

Movie Companies never make movies by themselves anymore, they

work will other companies in order to make more money and to share

the jobs like camera, and set etc. This is similar with celador films who

work in a small production company and often share with other

companies.

Some example are….

Within the film the Descent celador films worked with Northmen

productions and Pathe. The company pathe don’t make any films, Pathe

Buy distribution rights from companies, like for example from Celador films.

By buying distribution rights it basically means Pathe have the legal rights to

distribute the film to cinemas.

Also with the film dirty pretty thing celador films worked with BBC films and

Jonescompany productions.

Competitors and Market position

Overall celador films have made 6 films in total within 10 years, the

company competes with DNA films, films4 productions and Sony

pictures entertainment.

Film4 Productions and Celador Films have a similar link between

television and film. This is a big competitor to celador films.

Even though celador films have made 6 successful film I feel they are

still not well known to me like other companies such as film4 and 20th

century fox, but even though they are a small company internationally

within the UK have high standards and are quite big.
