We have decided upon Film4 as our production company due to their past success with low budget films, specifically British Film Dramas like: East is East, London Kills Me, Nowhere Boy.
Since most of the films produced by this company go unknown and are created with very little money, it makes them ideal for our film, with it being independently made. By choosing a more low key production company it gives us the ability to entice the viewers that have more respect for quality films produced using short cuts or alternative creative methods whilst maintaining the appearance of professionalism.
Background of Film 4
It is a British television channel only available in the United Kingdom, owned by the Channel Four TV corporations. The channel was created in 1982 but has been off and on in past years. It is available on Freeview for 'free', meaning it reaches a larger quantity of the population than say films on Sky Movies. This extremely beneficial as some people may be restricted to watching films on this channel and come across our film by accident, find out that they like it and then spread the word of it to friends, expanding our audience. There is also a high definition version of the channel that viewers must pay for improving the reputation of our film, making it seem more prestigious as well as generating more money for the film as people who have the channel are paying more to see it. This channel is also available in Republic of Ireland and in Switzerland further broadening our films reach. The channel frequently has themed nights based around specific actors or genres and this could be very beneficial to us of we release the film when one of these nights or weeks occur that are relevant to the British Film Drama genre.
