Production companies organize staff, actors, singer and dancers – whoever
is involved in producing the film itself.

They also provide the finance for the creation of the film .

4. Why these logo’s?
We chose these logos as we felt that they fit well with our film which represents
the ‘teen drama’ genre. Each of the logos we chose are not large production
companies and do not produce films of a large profile and high costs. We
chose these companies as our film would only have been produced on a small
scale with minimal costs – much like the films produced by these companies.
We created our own production company logo to fit in amongst the other
production companies we targeted when considering producing our film. We
noticed that many of the logos had a calm; naturalistic look and was easy on
the eye- this is why we chose to use bubbles in the background. We named our
production company ‘HMKB’ because it includes each member of our groups
initials so it is relevant to us and original.
5. Distributors:
Film distributors send out the film which allows the
audience to view the film. The distributors decide
when and where the film will be played and they
promote the film through advertising (TV,
Magazines etc.) When the film has been seen in the
cinema, they decide on how much payment the
company will receive then they send the movie
back to the distributors. The distributors also decide
how many copies of the film are made and what
companies and cinemas can display it.
6. Why we chose Focus Features
We chose to distribute our film using focus features
because we knew our film would be a low budget
production and we thought about how we would finance
our film and afford everything we needed. Focus features
have distributed many films such as the film ‘One Day’
which was released in 2011 and was very successful and
the audience rated this movie well. We knew that
advertising and promoting our film would be likely to cost
a lot, however we thought that choosing the right
production company would enable the film to be seen by
a large audience which is well suited to our film.
7. How would we fund our film?
Our film would’ve been funded through different
fundraising and sponsorships. We would attempt to
gain support from other production companies and
the public through advertising and releasing our
trailer. In order to generate a higher number of
viewers, we could’ve created a website and phone
apps so that the public are well aware of the status
of the film and when and where it would be
released in order to get a large audience and
maximum views.
