A production company is responsible for fundraising, budgeting, scheduling, scripting, hiring talent and resources, organizing staff, producing the project, post-production, distribution, and marketing. Production companies are often owned by or under contract with major media companies. They can work independently or co-produce with other companies. A distributor's role is to launch films in the marketplace in a competitive industry. Distributors work to promote films and make audiences aware of them through marketing and release strategies so the films can find their audience and commercial success. This involves activities like creating trailers, determining release dates, and getting feedback to improve the film.

1. What does a production company do?
The production company may be directly responsible for
fundraising for the production or may accomplish this through
a parent company, partner, or private investor. It handles
budgeting, scheduling, scripting, the supply with talent and
recourses, the organization of staff, the production
itself, post-production, distribution, and marketing.
Production companies are often either owned or under
contract with a media conglomerate, film
studio, entertainment company, or Motion Picture
Company, who act as the production company's partner or
parent company. This has become known as the “studio
system”. They can also be mainstream independent or
completely independent. In case of TV, a TV production
company would serve under a television network. Production
companies can work together in co-productions.

2. 5 Production Companies
I chose these 5 as they are my
favorite and most known and popular
ones. I like the universal one best as
its bold and the world is shown which
suggests their types of film are
known worldwide.

3. What does a distributor do?
Distribution is the highly competitive business of launching and
sustaining films in the market place. It's vital to the health of the
film industry as a whole. Films don't become well known, or find
their place in the world, by accident. The distributor's challenge is
to bring each one to market, starting from scratch (except for a
sequel) and realizing its potential.
Like other forms of entertainment, the film business is product-
driven: the films themselves are the main reason why we buy
tickets. There's an insatiable, deep-rooted desire for great stories on
the screen as well as in print. But today more than ever, consumers
call the shots, deciding for themselves what information to receive
or reject, access or delete. So how do people get to know about the
range of films on offer and come to feel they really want to see
some in particular?

4. Marketing and release strategies
• I would make a trailer and put it on TV and the
internet for people to see it advertised and if
they were interested look it up on the internet
and book to watch it in the cinema.
• I would release it about 2 months after I had
made it and asked several people their
opinion and if anything needed to be changed.

5. My film
• My film would have been funded by someone who thought
the film would do well and lend the money to us to pay for
the actors and the props and the camera etc.
• My film would have an appeal to all countries as it is a
worldwide genre that lots of people enjoy.
