Film Production

  

Funding, production, and distribution

In media studies class, we were assigned to research the process of film funding, production, and distribution. We need to learn and be cognizant of these things due to our portfolio project.

Production

The second step in the filmmaking process is production. There is post-production and production when creating a film. Film production is where your film is going to be produced or filmed.

Production companies     

Some of the top biggest production companies are Universal, Warner Bros, Columbia Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, Paramount Pictures, and 20th-century fox. These are the top production companies the most films use. Working with major film companies could make more resources available for marketing and help more with the distribution. The downside is you will not get as much control over your film or attention because you are working with big movie companies. Indie aka independent companies are companies that work outside of the larger corporations or the top film companies. Working with indie companies could let you find the right target market for your film and let you have control of your film. The downside is you get not too many resources for marketing nor distribution due to people not being cognizant of the company people may not even watch your film. 

What company would I pick?

I would pick from the major film because it will get your movie out there and help with marketing. Even though the film that I and my group will be filming doesn't need a film company I would still pick a major company.

Funding 

Funding is what need to create a film and start production. Most film gets its funding from investors, tax credits, grants and more.

How funding benefit our group 

Our film for our group wouldn’t really need funding to film.

Distribution

The distribution company is in charge of marketing the film making a film available for public viewing. Most film companies are in charge of this as the major film companies.

Distribution company I would pick

If i would pick a distribution company it would probably be one of the major companies like Universal, Warner Bros, Columbia Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, Paramount Pictures, and 20th-century fox because they are good at distributing their films.
