Script:
What does a production company do?
A production company funds money towards your film. They are the conglomerates of the industry, having control of actors and location. Production companies include Lionsgate, Disney, Columbia, Comcast, Universal Studios, Paramount and more.
The idea of a distributor and who that might be and why
A film distributor is a company or individual responsible for the marketing of a film. The distributor may set the release date of a film and the method by which a film is to be exhibited or made available for viewing: for example, directly to the public either theatrically or for home viewing. For my film, my distributor would be Lionsgate UK, as the production company is Lionsgate. Lionsgate usually exhibit films to cinema and then later on release it on DVD, so my film would get a large audience this way.
Where the money might have come from for a film such as yours
The money for a film such as mine would come largely from Lionsgate. Some other money may come from the BFI, a British film company would give a percentage of the lottery money towards the production of British films. My film is semi-independent, therefore would get a fairly large amount of money, but not a huge amount.
Why the various people are named in the titles- which jobs appear in the titles and in what order and how have you reflected this
I firstly named the actors in my film then the production team (film caster, editor, music, producer). I used the film Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless mind as guide for my titles. I changed the order slightly, moving the title of the video to the end, so the audience can understand better the meaning of that title after they watch most scenes.
What your film is similar to institutionally
My film is institutionally similar to The Riot Club, a British film also funded by the BFI which uses some British stars such as Harry Lloyd and Natalie Dormer. The script was given to the production company before the cast was chosen and shooting began. The film was showed largely across cinemas and is now available on Amazon Prime, Google Play, and Itunes as well as DVD and Bluray. My film, being similar to it in terms of nationality and genre, would be released in a similar way if successful.
