Firstly, what is a distributor?
A distributor is in charge of releasing the film to the public. It has to control the function of budgeting, scripting and also indicating members of staff to particular areas in order to produce a film.
As a group we discussed and referred to the 3 companies that we had previously explored in class, these were Warp X, Warner bros and Working title.
-Warp X use low budget production methods to try and achieve high value films that will attract a range of people. Some of their first productions were as follows: 'a complete history o my sexual failures', 'Donkey punch' and so on. But records show that they have not been as successful as Warner Bros and Working title.
-Warner Bros is seen to be as a more Hollywood type of production company because of their materials and their values. Clearly just by mentioning Hollywood it is vivid that Warner Bros interact with diverse audiences also it can be argued that because Warner Bros is an american producer it has more value than the other two British companies.
-Working Title are another British company but who on the other hand of Warp X use well known actors to perhaps create a bigger chance of bigger numbers of individuals watching their films. For example; Rowan Atkinson who stars in 'Johnny English' is known to be very funny with out even using dialogue, it is through his gestures that the audience understand his character.
Having summarised the 3 production companies we would relate our opening sequence to working title because we are almost certain that our opening sequence would interest our target audience which are teenagers and young adults. The location and story line of our project demonstrates the day-to-day routine that the majority of our target audience go through and therefore can relate to and enjoy watching it on the big screen. We would not state that Warner bros could be a potential distributor for our film because of the standards they work at and the high budgets they invest from. Nevertheless we would not result to Warp X because of their low quality and low budget materials it would not allow us to produce a good enough project that our target audience would spend money on to watch.
Having spoken about budgets it is evident that certain things like props and costumes would have to come from our personal funds due to a certain budget being spent on things for editing or that have to do with the quality of our project. The budget could be funded by either a government grant or other things like sponsorship, donations, fund raising events and other similar methods of obtaining money.
