Film Production & Distribution Companies Research

As a group we decided early on that we would include different institutions within our teaser trailer to meet the expected conventions. We then set about discussing various ideas for our own companies. Once we had decided on the names of our companies, we discussed different ideas for logos that would symbolise our company and would create a visual link to our companies when displayed in our trailer.

Remembering research I had already taken out within my AS studies, I wanted to recognise “Working Title” in my A2 studies as an extremely successful UK film production company. Working Title works largely with the British film industry and has produced a large number of well-known films ranging from “Ali G Indahouse”, “Bridget Jones’ Diary” to “Shaun of the Dead” and “The Boat That Rocked”. We would have to come up with our own production company and create a coherent logo to display within our teaser trailer.

I then briefly researched existing film distribution companies to get an idea of the independent UK film distributing companies that are working to invest in the British film industry. I came across the company “Entertainment Film Distributors”. This UK distribution company had major success with the release of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and have recently worked on producing and distributing “St Trinian’s” and its newly released sequel “St Trinian’s 2: The Legend of Fritton’s Gold”. Again, we would have to come up with our own distributing company and logo to use in our own teaser trailer.
