+Production companies are significant in the way they provide a foundation of which the film is built upon. The company which may have our produced our film are Working Title Films. They are a production company who focus on independent filming and have helped produce many films such as ‘Love Actually’ and ‘Atonement’. As you can see these films are related to ours in terms of their genre and target audience. They mainly focus on the younger generation as we do too and include genre such as drama and romance which our film is strongly influenced by. I believe they would also choose to produce our film as they would be interested in what we have to offer in terms on content. Our film has some qualities which are also used in films which the company has produced and a meaning behind the production which tries to teach morals.

+ The distributer is the force which is in charge of marketing

the film. The distribution company that we have chosen to use is Studio Canal. It is one of Europe’s leading companies in the market for co-production, acquisition, distribution and sale of international feature films. They are an ideal distribution company in regards to our film. Furthermore, seeing as our movie is independent and based in the british region with the target audience being british, it is an ideal company to go with as we will be able to easily reach out to our target audience. They have produced movies such as Johnny English which makes it a suitable and viable distributor. They even offer an extension of our target audience, if we wanted to go further than only marketing our film to a british audience we would have to opportunity to expand on this as they have links with Universal Studios which would allow for expansion.

+MY OWN IDENTS the edit for the production ident is the skyline edit, this consists of

outlines of buildings moving, in the colours black, grey and red, the reason i used this was because our film is based in urban london and the production company is likely to be london based, it represents areas of society which live in london. Our production company is independent, this is because we are targeting a niche audience

+Our distribution company

The distribution company consists of different coloured blocks moving across the screen and then the white text appears in a rectangle with small pictures in it. Our distribution company is also independent its recently been formed and makes films that are aimed at lives of teenagers in suburban and urban areas, it also specialises in teaching morals and exposing sensitive issues

+Implications of an independent production company

The first disadvantage is that the film has a low budget which means there will be less access to high quality/expensive equipment

This also means it reduces access to c.g.i and big named stars

Finally the film makers wont have any choice but to aim the film at a niche audience

+Implications of having an independent distribution company The first and most obvious implication is having a low

budget which means marketing will be limited i.e billboards, tv adverts and bus adverts, however this means film makers will make most of simple methods such as the use of the internet and social networking websites

This means there will be no red carpet premiere or ‘big’ announcements

Finally, there will be limited film release, this means the film is less likely to be global or nationwide
