Task 3

What does a production company do?
A production company is in charge and responsible for the growth of the product, and also the psychological part of production of a product. In a lot of cases it is common for the production company to raise and/or give funds to go to the product.

Where does the money come from?
A lot of the time the money comes from the production company, or for some low budget productions the money is sponsored e.g: for an independent film. A good option for mine and Emma's film would be "The UK film councils print and advertising fund", this is because our film would come in the category of a "low budget" production. Another option for us would be to be entered in such competition's where you are funded money to go towards the product, the best product out of many would be chosen to be casted, an example of this could be "the microwave challenge" this is supported by the BBC.

Idea of a Distributor?
Warner Brothers could be a good distributor for our product, this is as it was the distributor to "A Cinderella story". However we could also have the distributor of "Sony Productions", which is the distributor for "The House Bunny" which is a recent well know film.Paramount Pictures is the distributor for the film "Mean Girls", this is a very well know distributor and has a lot of films that our in the same typical genre of our film, in which makes me believe this would be the best distributor to have for our film production.

The titles?
The first titles that appear in our film opening our the two actresses who play the roles of the two main characters. The titles both come in after the characters are shown E.g: The "Geek" comes on screen, then the title will come up of who's playing that part, which in this case "Emma Smart" comes up. At the end of our film opening the titles of the producers and directors come up, this is as it will stick in the audiences mind. The main title which is of course the film's name "Queenbees and Wannabees" comes up in the middle of the opening this is to break up whats going on and gives a sense of presents of the title. We also have other titles in or film opening such as the Cinematographer to make sure praise is perceived.

What Film is similar to it institutionally?
There are many films that similar to our film such as "Clueless" and "Another Cinderella Story", this is because they are both in a school atmosphere and setting which is the same as mine and Emma's product. "Mean Girls" and " A Cinderella Story" our also very similar to ours, this is as not only that they both have a school/college atmosphere, but also have the same aged characters as ours and would appeal to the same age group. "Angus thongs and Perfect Snogging" relates to ours as it has a "fake" in the film who is know as "Slaggy Lindsey", it also has the typical "Geek" who is know as "Georgia" she is know for always getting everything wrong but not on purpose. The T.V show "Beauty & the Geek" also relates to our film opening as it has strong compassion's in it like ours does.
