The document discusses options for distributing a low-budget independent horror film. It considers several existing independent production companies but determines they would have budgets too large. Examples of successful small British horror films produced by Vertigo Films are provided. Ultimately, the document decides the best path is to create their own tiny production company called Bruce Films to distribute low-cost independent films with minimal special effects until late in the film to keep costs down.

1. QUESTION 3
For our preliminary task we put a ‘Working Title’ logo at the beginning of it.
Obviously, we later realised that this is just completely unrealistic, as even
though Working Title would be small budget, ours would be tiny.

2. Our film would likely be distributed by an independent production company. We
researched different production companies, such as Chocolate films, Coffee films,
Norfilms etc. We then worked out which ones would be relevant or realistic for us.
However, these
companies didn’t fit
with our criteria.

3. Examples of an independent British horror films are
Shrooms, Outcast, Wake Wood, The Children, which were
produced by Vertigo Films. This is an independent British film
company. However, our company would be smaller then
this, with a smaller budget, as this is well known, and has
produced many big budget films.
Another example of a production company is Metrodome
films, which has released films such as Bride of Chucky.

4. In the end, we decided to use ‘our own’ production company. We created a logo for
Bruce Films. This would distribute independent films by small filmmakers. As the budget
would be small for a new, independent production company, we knew that our film
would have to be low cost. Although there are aliens, we decided they wouldn’t be seen
until late on in the film, as it’s the mystery that drives it. We would have to use clever
make up and costumes and use of set in order to cut corners and lower the budget. Our
film would probably not be widely shown on cinema screens, if at all, due to the small
budget
