We would distribute our media product to companies such as 'Film 4 Productions', which is owned by channel 4, because we have a made a low budget, British, independent film. We didn't have much money to make the film, which is evident in the quality of the camera and some of the shots, sound and the editing. Hopefully if we were backed by 'Film 4' we would be able to sort out any problems.
We included ‘In association with Film 4’ in our opening sequence. Unlike the American blocker buster, Hollywood movies, which have huge budgets; British independent films focus on producing grittier storylines, rather than focusing on the special effects. The money involved in making these films isn’t as much, so directors look to create a different type of film.
In the past film 4 has backed a wide range of films such as 'Slumdog Millionaire', 'Enduring Love', 'A room with a view', 'Beautiful Thing', and 'Lovely bones' without which, these films probably wouldn't have got the funding to be made.
However, we could also distribute our film to 'BBC Films' which are another production company which funds the kind of film we made. These have backed films such as 'An Education', 'The Duchess', 'Bullet Boy', 'Millions' and 'Mrs Henderson Presents'.
