What Does A Production Company Do?
A production company runs the physical foundation for films, performing arts, television and radio. They handle budgeting, scheduling, scripting, talent resources, they will organise staff and the production itself including post production, distribution and marketing. Furthermore they are responsible if anything in the project goes wrong. They may run all the funding or they will be in partnership with a parent company, partner or private investor. The big five(the most know and best production company's) are 20th century Fox, RKO Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Distribution
A distributors job is to release the film to the pubic, they decide where the film will be shown and will decided how the film will be promoted. Distributors also decide how many copies of the film will be made, this is decided by how successful it will be. The distributor and potential theatre buyers will decide how long the film will be shown in the theatre.
Where Will The Money Come From
It is harder for low budget film to find producers and distributors to fund for their film. However it is better to have a not so well known distributor for low budget films. We have chosen Film 4 as our distribution company. we have chosen is company as they are a well know company bu tare not one of the top five company's, they deal with both small independent low budget films and large films, they have there own channel meaning the film will appear on there and they appeal to the younger generation as they already show many teen angst films. They will be promoting our film through, posters and trailers and through many more advertising methods.
Titles
We placed the the names of the people included in our film in the opening scene that played a big part in the making of the film to give them credit and recognition.

Here is the order which the titles appeared. We decided to put the names of the characters at the end of the title sequence as the audience will pay attention to them the most as they will be more intrigued about who is in the film rather than who edited the film.
What Your Film Is Similar To Institutionally
Due to our film being a small low budget film it will be most likely wont be showed in theatres outside the UK. Institutionally we believe and hope are film will be similar to paranormal activity, they had a budget of $15,000 and took in a gross of almost $197 million with a percentage return of 655,00%. The film was originally shown in 13 college towns, it had an online campaign for it to be scene in different areas where you had to vote if you wanted it seen in your town. Over all paranormal activity were nominated for nine awards. We are hoping that like paranormal activity with a low budget we will get the recognition that the film deserves. we are also hoping to win awards due to the success of our film with such a small budget.
