The production company have quite a big role when it comes to making films. For example they are generally responsible for creating the funds for making the film and actually producing the film. Their role is to create the idea of the film, shoot all the footage and then edit the footage to create the finished film. The companies however, do usually have people in the crew who will specialise and help in things like writing the script and editing the footage together. They will then usually pass over to a ditribution company to help them promote and advertise their film.
There are many different ways in which the production company could raise the funds for creating and making a film. One way is that there are a number of charities which help to fund the production stage of new films. Also there is the option of going to the UK Film Council and apply or a fund. As well as these tw options there is the option that once the film has been finished you can take it and screen it at different film festivals, which could help to fund you some more.
If i was looking for a distribution company to distriute our film L.O.V.E I think i would choose SONY. I would choose this company because they are quite well known with the romantic comedy genre which we went for in our film. Also they have a wide range of products which could help increase our advertising and allow our film to reach a much wider audience than if we went with a different company. For example SONY have a big range of video games, so they could advertise our film within those games. Also they have converged with other big companies which would also help reach a wider audience. A couple of examples of films distributed by SONY are Just Go With It, Fun With Dick and Jane and Made of Honor.
However to be more realistic, as our film is a British film we thought another company which would be good to distribute our film would be Universal. Universal are a big company which covers many areas. This would help our film as it means that it could reach a wider audience meaning that more and more people could enjoy our film. It is also the second longest lasting Hollywood studio. This shows that they are a good company to have working on our film. Some films which Universal have distributed in the past include Billy Elliot, Meet The Parents, About A Boy and Love Actually.
