Film4 is a British production company known for lower budget and independent films that appeal to niche audiences, such as Slumdog Millionaire and Trance. They decided to work with Film4 because their low-budget, independent film focusing on a niche audience would fit Film4's criteria. Film4 also has their own digital TV channel where they air films they have produced and co-produced, providing potential distribution for the film later on. For distribution, they chose Studio Canal as it focuses on European productions and has strong links with Universal Studios, which could help the film advance to an international audience if it receives good reviews initially targeting the British audience.

1. Film4 is a British production company known for producing and co-producing films.
We have chose to work with film4 because they tend to produce a lower budget or
independent films which are viewable at some points in the year.
This meant that it would fit into our criteria as our film is very low budget and
independent based on less technology no cgi. Film4 produce a movie such as Slumdog
Millionaire and Trance that aim for a niche audience. We also aim for a niche audience
as well so this meant that Film4 would be appropriate for us. Film4 also has their own
Digital TV channel, airing movies. They tend to air film which they have produced and
co-produce which means that later on when our film has been develop and play in box
offices it can be also aired on their channel.

2. For our distribution company we decided with Studio Canal, as the company which
would distribute our movie. Studio Canal is a French based distribution and
production company, known for focusing on European productions. British movie
such as Johnny English have been used in Studio Canal work. This then fits in with
our movie as we're a low budget movie wanting to capture the British audience
firstly. They also have strong link with Universal Studio which also act as a
advantage to us as if our movie gets good review we could then advance to a
international audience through the connection that Studio Canal has with Universal
Studios.
