Film Production Companies

For this research I need to find film production companies that are relative to the genre of our film. It is important that the production company we choose has previously made films of a similar genre rather than choosing one that focus' on completely different genres.

BBC Films
BBC Films is a british film production company who produce a range of different genres. Some of the films they produced include 'Fish Tank' and 'Street Dance 3D' which have similar conventions to our film. Also, as it is a company based in the UK, this would make it a suitable production company for us to use.

Film4 Productions
Film4 Productions is a British film production company owned by Channel 4 and has been responsible for a number of films made in the UK. They produce a variation of different genres from 'Shaun of the Dead' to 'Iron Lady'. One of their films include 'Trainspotting' which has similar conventions to our film. The problem with this prodcution company is they do not have many well known dramas similar to ours but it is not unlikely that they would produce a film such as ours.



Pathe Pictures

Pathe Pictures is a french film distribution company known for films such as 'Slum dog Millionaire' and 'Chicken Run'. 'Adulthood', another film distributed by this company, is of the same genre as out film opening, and shares very similar conventions. This creates a strong link between our film and Pathe Pictures as it would be a suitable company to choose in relation to our film.





CinemaNX
CinemaNXCinemaNX is one of Britain’s leading film finance, production and distribution companies. It is responsible for 'The Disappearance of Alice Creed', 'Albatross', 'Heartless'. These are all UK dramas, some include a mixture of the thriller and psychological genre. This would be a suitable production company for our film opening for this reason as it is both British and known for producing dramas.




Revolver enterntainment
Revolver logo 200x40.gifRevolver Entertainment is a film distribution company which operates in both London And Los Angeles. It has distributed a number of British dramas, similar to our film opening. These include 'Shank', 'Kidulthood', 'Exit through the Gift Shop' and 'Sket'. Its wide selection of dramas sharing similar conventions to our own, as well as the fact it is based in London makes it a suitable company for us to choose.


UK Film Council
The UK Film Council was set up in 2000 by the Labour Government to develop and promote the film industry in the UK which is relevant to our chosen genre, which is also set in the UK. Some of its films of a similar genre to ours include 'Fish Tank', 'Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll' and 'Attack the Block'. As it is strongly based in the UK and includes many films influenced by British culture, it is a suitable company for our film.
