- 3. THE PRODUCTION COMPANY LOGOS YOU HAVE CHOSEN AND OR CREATED AND WHY? We wanted to create our own production. We wanted it to be related to our genre of film which was a teenage drama. We wanted the title of the production company to have the word ‘Teenage’ in it. We didn’t want it just to have teenage across the top because it didn’t look right. We wanted something else to go with it. We chose the word ‘Flicks’ this is because films can be shortened down to become flicks and it sounds interesting. We wanted our logo to have something to do with ‘Teenage Flicks’. So we decided that the ‘T’ and ‘F’ should be formed together to create one logo. This was effected because people could understand what is said and it was easy to read.
- 4. WHAT DOES A DISTRIBUTOR DO? 1. 2. 3. 4. A distributer sends your film out into the world were the audience will watch it. They decide where and when your film will show and they also promote the film. There is four steps that are followed in the process of distribution: They have to determine how many copies they want to make. Then the film is previewed the prospective buyers ( cinema owners). The film is sent back to the cinema before it is opened. The cinema will then show the film to the audience, then it will get sent back to the distributers and payment is agreed. However in a short budget film more steps maybe required.
- 5. WHY YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES YOU HAVE TO RELEASE YOUR FILM? We chose the distributor to be Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon Movies have done teenage films such as Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. Therefore we think that it will be a good and suitable distributor.
- 6. HOW MIGHT YOUR FILM HAVE BEEN FUNDED? Our film would be funded by Nickelodeon Movies. For making it our distributor in return they will be promoting, advertising and releasing the film. We looked at different distributors that could release our film for example Metrodome. Metrodome do only British films such as Shifty. Therefore we could have used Metrodome because they would have got us our target audience.
