Production Companies In TV And Film

Production Companies

A production company is a company that allows the film makers to get the film made. They essentially pay for everything such as props, costumes, scenery etc. production companies provide a physical basis on which to create the film. Without production company's we would not have the quality of film we have today.

This included in the fact that there are so many different production company's allow for such different genre of films to be made. There are the "big house" names such as 20th century fox and universal studios which can provide obscene amount of money to produce a film such as avatar, the Star Wars trilogy's or the avengers and there are many smaller film production companies which have considerably lower budgets. These companies usually produce films such as Blair witch project etc.




Universal studios is an American production co pant which is known for producing films such as E.T, Jurassic Park and Jaws. It is part of what is known as "Hollywood big six" which is comprised of film production companies such as 20th century fox. It's the third oldest major film production company in the world.

Film4 is an independent film productions company which is in England. The company has created films such as 12 years a slave, Attack the block and 4 lions.

Film4 makes predominately British films that are catered for a national audience and not an international audience. They do not have very large Hollywood budgets which is why they do not advertise their films to the extent of a larger company.
