3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

• A production company is responsible for the development and filming of a specific production of a film. It is mainly involved in funding, helping to facilitate the making of, and distributing films and/or television programs. My production company for my film is called 'C&S Productions', which would obviously be on a small budget if my group were to actually make the whole film.

• A distributor is the link between the film-makers and the public, and allows a film to reach the public via cinemas, DVD/video and on television. There are a number of distribution companies in the UK, all with different styles, funding structures, aims and market plans, all trying to sell their films in a competitive environment. Due to the fact that we do not have anywhere near the amount of funding that would be needed in order to produce and distribute a mainstream film, the most realistic option would be to sell our finished product to an Independent distributor rather than a larger studio.
  Examples of independent film distributors are:
  
  • Pathe
  • The Film maker's co-operative
  • IndiePix films
  • MusicBox
  
  Youtube has also been known to have short films and some low budget films placed on their website under featured in order to gain publicity. Realistically I think we would use youtube to distribute our film.
•  The major existing film that is very much similar to our film is obviously the Godfather, however we have made it our own style by creating a comedy aspect with it and changing the storyline and script.

• To get the money to fund my film there are several ways, but would probably use one of these:

UK Film Council/British Film InstituteUntil recently the first place to look for funding on a national level was the UK Film Council.

Local CouncilsLocal councils will often put money towards a short filmmaking initiative, especially if it deals with social exclusion or aids the local community in some way.

CharitiesA number of charities fund short films.If we were interested in getting funding from a charity, we would think about the type of film we are trying to make and contact organisations that are in some way linked to the topic/goal of your film.  For example the Wellcome Trust (UK's largest medical research charity) has an Arts Award that funds projects (including short films) inspired by biomedical science.

• For the people included in the film, mainly they did have several parts throughout.
