Production Companies - working off of original ideas and feedback

When considering production companies, we analysed what production companies were producing similar style pieces to the issue of sexual assault that we were portraying.
We researched what companies focused in on pieces that were within the social realism genre and explored what companies were available for us to attribute to our piece.

One of the main companies that came out as the most popular was Netflix, as in recent years the company has started to produce many documentaries based upon issues in the world. More recently, Netflix have begun to tackle more taboo issues within society, for example 'Hot Girls Wanted' that focuses in women forced into prostitution or 'The Hunting Ground', focused in on the sexual assault amongst female college students in order to protect the freedom of the football students in America.

We showed people different production companies and explained the narrative of our piece (with the help of a storyboard) and allowed them to choose which company was their favourite. The majority replied with Netflix and this followed our own views as some of the more recent pieces have had the same issue (sexual assault) as our own piece.

As our piece focuses in on one specific character, it appears as a movie similar to 'The Lovely Bones', however there is focus into the realisation that the attack is from no fault of our protagonist and victim, and rather the acts of the attacker. This makes the piece similar to 'The Hunting Ground' and 'Audrie and Daisy', both of which aim to shine a light on the consequences of silencing the crime of sexual assault.
