4. Why I chose these companies?
I chose these companies because they are companies that deal with independent films. My
film is an independent film so they were an appropriate choice. The budget isn't big enough
to go for mainstream companies such as e.g. 20th Century Fox. The companies are original
because when I done research into production and distribution companies for independent
films, I found out that most companies I had not yet heard of which inspired my choice of
companies.

5. Inspiring example real media text
(Attack The Block)
The production and distribution ideas behind my film stem
from independent youth drama films such as ‘Attack The
Block’. They had many idents which show which production
& distribution companies were involved in this film. As my film
is similar to this example, I followed the conventions of
having many idents and having many production and
distribution companies involved. Film 4 could be considered
a bridge between Independent and mainstream films as
through research both mainstream and independent films
have been distributed and even produced by Film 4. This is
why it was able to be added into my title sequence. ‘Attack
The Block’ also included Film 4.

6. Type of release
The intentions that I have for my film is that it can be
released both digitally and in theatres. This is also a
reason why Film 4 was a distribution company chosen.
They have channels that are popular on television so it
can be presented on those, it is also suitable for cinema
screening. Film 4’s slogan is what helped choose them
as the main distributor, ‘Great films for free’, as our
budget is quite low.

7. Effect of adding various companies
By adding many company idents at the beginning of my title sequence, it has
evidently made my title sequence longer. It has also influenced the rest of the credits,
there are not many other credits because I followed the conventions of independent
films.
An example of this is shown in Attack the Block as they do not show any character
names but have more than 3 production and distribution idents.
