Question 3

My group would have chose to use gateway productions to promote and distribute our film. we have done some research into independent production companies and major production companies, and we feel that it would be more beneficial for our film to be produced by a small independent company such as gateway. Gateway Productions is a British independent film production company, that are behind the creation of a number successful British teen drama's including as 'shank And Anuvahood' both of which everyone in my group has watched. Through watching the title sequence of Anuvahood we were led to Gateway productions and went on to do some research about the company. After reading up about Gateway, my group then came to the conclusion that this would be the perfect company to produce our film. The Reason for this is that Gateway unlike Many major companies work with newly established / Un-established British talent to create these extremely successful films.


Due to the fact Our group had no budget for the creation of our film, it would be unrealistic for us to try to persuade a major production company to work with us for no money. The Gateway Website states "  to make good quality films alongside some of the World’s biggest film studio’s on sensible budgets with new and established talent." this has us led to believing that small independent companies are more suitable for this project.


Research on major production companies consolidated our decision to use a small independent company. information taken from page 140 of the Ocr Media Studies Guide, states in the uk there are five major production companies that dominate the Uk film industry, Including Sony and century Fox, It also States that these companies work directly with Hollywood production companies and in some cases Hollywood is preferred over British talent for profitable reasons. we came to an agreement that this was not suitable for our project.
