What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? (Question 3)

What does a Production company do? 
A Production company is generally responsible for creating a film, this would include all processes from pre-production to post-production. They take care of all the processes that focus on the creation of the film: Thinking of the concept/idea, script writing, storyboarding, funding, filming, editing etc. It provides the finished product for film, television, radio, video etc. 


What is your idea of a film distributor?
A film distributor is the company/person that buy the rights to the film and then sells it to other companies/cinemas in order to release it for public viewing. they do this in order to make money for both the producers and the distribution company itself. Examples of unofficial distribution companies would include, youtube and Facebook where people can display their own work to the public without needing to  contact companies for distribution. 


Who might be the distributor for your film and why?
A company that could distribute my film would be 20th Century fox or Warner Brothers, who  distributed Dude, where's my car? and The Hangover respectively. Otherwise my product would be mainly distributed on youtube/Facebook as it would be seen by a variety of people all over the world.  


Where would the money come from for a film such as yours?
The money for a film such as mine would come from the producers and any investors that were interesting in helping us to create the product. We could also get funding from our distributors or any advertisements that we make and give to advertisement companies, as their advertisements would create interest in the product and encourage people from my target audience to watch the film meaning that more sales are made by the cinemas and as such more money gets back to the producers. 


Why have the various people been named in your title? Which jobs appear in your titles and in what order and how have you reflected this?
We have included mainly the actors names, Ryan, Jamie, Chris, James, Daniel, Kayleigh and Alisha, with the last two not actually appearing in the opening sequence though originally the would have done however due to time restrictions we were unable to include that part.  Our group members are all named as stars of the production (Kayleigh, Ryan, Jamie and Alisha) yet we were all involved in the filming, editing and conceptualisation of our sequence.
