Evaluation question 3

A production company is responsible for the production of all forms of media such as film, radio and TV. It is also normally responsible for the funding of a production, it may be achieved through an ambassador for the production company. The size of the company is irrelevant as long as it sells products to a film studio at a theatrical venue.

A distributor is part of the production company that distributes its products/films to, it also distributes the film out to the audience so they can gain profits and the audience can receive the production made.

The funding for a film like mine will have come entirely from the production company itself, the production company i have chosen is twentieth century fox as it is normally a typical production company for comedies like mine.

My film is similar to dodge-ball as my opening is very unclear to watch as it is supposed to be confusing which is just like the opening in dodge-ball nothing is very clear to learn in the film after 2 minutes. Although when commencing the project I did aim to make the film as a mick-take of Green Street which had a similar opening base with the main character being kicked out of college and moving to Britain to make a fresh start with his relatives over there. But my opening had to be altered as this was too complex to carry out at the time, so the opening became a bit clearer as to the genre of the film. But in terms of the film as a package, it would have to be more similar to dodge-ball as the locations, budget and crew size would aim to be of a very similar size.
For a film like mine the funding would have come from the film production company as well as other forms of advertising that would have tried to promote the film, such as trailers and posters in shops such as HMV. But the majority of the money will have come from the production company which in this case is paramount as they are the ones wanting to make the film a success.
Certain job roles are only listed because they try and list the stars of the film and the director who made it, if it is a big film that's spent a lot of money then they're always going to mention the list of box office stars who will help make the film a lot of money. Whereas if a film doesn't have many big stars then they wont bother in trying to headline these names to promote it and just concentrate on promoting the film itself. But if the films have the money and stars to show off then they generally will do it to help draw in a mass profit.
