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.

5 Production CompaniesI 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.

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?

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.

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.
