Production company titles

Production companies
For our teaser trailer we need to decide upon a suitable production company title to display on screen. When creating our film opening last year we looked at the titles of huge companies such as Warner Bros and Universal, however, as our chosen genre is social realism we decided to do a little research into smaller scale companies that would suit our teaser trailer as well.

• Film4 Productions

This is a British film production company owned by Channel 4, their first production was released in 1982 so it's relatively new. It has a reputation of focusing on gritty, kitchen sink-style films and period drama.

Their work include: 12 years a slave, Trainspotting, This is England, Room

• BBC Films

This is a British film production company founded in 1990 (fairly recent). It co-produces around eight films a year, which is not a lot, allowing attention to fall on those particular films.

Their work include: Brooklyn, Fish Tank, Jane Eyre

• Working Title

This is a British film production company owned by Universal Studios. It was founded in 1983, a year after film4 productions.

Their work include: Billy Elliot, Notting Hill, United 93, Love Actually

• Crown Film Unit

This was an organisation with the government's Ministry of Information during the Second World War. It made films for the general public in Britain and abroad and its output included short information and documentary films. It was disbanded in 1952 so it's not an option for us to use it for our trailer.

Their work include: This is England (original, 1941), Out of true, Target for tonight

• Netflix

This is an American entertainment company founded in 1997, the newest of the above. Due to its growing popularity, it has more recently started to produce documentaries on a variety of current issues.

Their work include: Girlfriend's day, Take the 10, Tallulah, XOXO
