A production company is the group of people responsible for the physical production of the film. They fund the project as well as ensure that all actors, props and settings are in order ready for the filming. They hold all legal and financial responsibility behind the film.
The distributor for our film is Artificial Eye. We chose this company as they specialize in distributing low budget films such as The Selfish Giant, which we previously used as a case study. This means that our film will appeal to the company as we have a low budget yet well made film.
We would get finding to create our film from the BFI Film Fund. They recieve £26 million of lottery funds each year to invest into new, low budget films. I chose this company as they also run film festivals such as BFI London Film Festival and BFI London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. Our film could be included in these festivals which also means they will recieve more publicity.
Within the credits, we have named these people:
-Premium Films
-CRC Productions
-Courtney Holdaway (Editor)
-Rachel Patterson (Costume)
-Adam Michaels (Music)
-Chloe Faris (Director)
-Courtney Holdaway (Actor)
-Rachel Patterson (Actor)
-Chloe Faris (Actor)
-Alex Ross (Actor)
-Danny Barnett (Actor)
-Ellen Ryan-Gill (Actor)
We chose to feature these people in the credits as they were vital in the production of the film. For example, the director is credited because he put together what each of the actors portrayed is doing. The music is credited as it is playing at the time, so people link the two together and remember the name. Actors are also credited as their faces are shown on screen, meaning that the audience recognize who they are.
Our film is similar to films such as The Selfish Giant institutionally. This is because both films are British, low budget films aimed towards younger people. The Selfish Giant is also funded and produced by the same companies as we chose for our film, and was shown at similar festivals.
