Production and Distribution Companies

Production and Distribution Companies


Production Companies: A production company helps to create the film but it also assits in the budgeting, scheduling, script, casting and more. The company also looks over the film when it's just an idea and looks at what will make this film sell out and what won't; they also look what is in the film and will see if it fits in with the genre and sub-genere.
Production Companies are directly responsible for the fundraising for the production or they may complete this through partners companies or private investors.

Film Story

                                                                      Story

Our film hard game is based upon one villain and his battle with higher authorities i.e. the law.  Through the film the audience slowly sees the villains character as it is unveild.  The audience can then see the main point to the film, as opposed to the mad men we see at the the beginning.
As the film continues the audience begins to see the true meaning of the rebellion against the law.  We see the films meaning being the matter of a corrupt law.  The main villain uncovers the true face of the higher authorites and rises a rebellion.

Main Scene 

This shot shows one of the angles I will be using in my film. I think that this will show the the cars when they are coming up to the top of the car park. I will cut in and out of this shot constantly when the police are coming up the ramp.  This will help to create speed effect and build dramatic tension.  

This is the main scene. I thought that this would be a great place for us to place the cars and the big fight.  There are really good angles up on the top of the car park and the backdrop is amazing as it's standard urban back drop so it fits with the typical police crime genre.

If each works independently on the script (the most common system), they are separated by an "and". If more than two persons worked on the screenplay, the credits may read something like "screenplay by X & Y and Z and W" X and Y worked as a team, but Z and W worked separately.

• DIRECTOR or DIRECTED BY

The Directors Guild of America usually permits a film to list only one director, even when it is known that two or more worked on it. Exceptions are made in rare cases such as a death, and subsequent replacement of the director mid-production, and for established directing teams such as the Coen brothers.
