What kind of media institution might distribute


your media product?
What does a production company do?
A production company plays an essential role in the
organisation had distribution of a film. They are
directly responsible for finding a suitable director and
handling the talent within the film. The production
company also assists in:

Scheduling
Budgeting

Traditionally, the main credits are shown at the
beginning of the film. The usual order follows:

Distributor of my film:
The distributor of a film is a company that is
responsible for advertising a media product to the
public. This is an essential part of post-production. The
company, which distributes your film, is responsible for

the marketing and promotion of the film. The distributor


decides how many copies of the film will be made, then
show it to prospective buyers e.g. cinema owners. It
could be said that a distributor directly influences the
success of a film. To distribute my film, I will need a
company that are based in the UK, who distribute lower
budget, horror films. These two are good examples of
these types of production companies. Film4 released A
Field In England which is one of my inspirations for
making my sequence.

These are example of production companies that only take


big budget films and projects, which isnt good for me,
plus theyre American and my film isnt targeted for US
audiences.

Possible Distributors for my production:


Film4 (as pictured above)
