A production company ensures that a film is completed through each stage of production, to a certain time limit, for example giving two - three weeks to create a script and also they provide funding for the project. As our production company would have been our own Drunken Elephant Productions, which is incredibly small, we wouldn't have a large budget that we could exploit, therefore we wouldn't have the stunning production values of hollywood blockbusters, so we would have to target film festivals such as the Tribecca Film Festival, in order to get our film out there. Then possibly ask a larger distributor, such as Universal, to help me distribute it if we gain a positive reception from critics at the festivals I'd toured. I would ask Uniersal to help me distribute our film as they've already shown interest in films of a similar genre in Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim Vs The World.
The distributor ensures that the film is distributed to cinemas and also deals with the distribution of home cinema entertainment.
The funding from our film would come from independent investors, similar to Kick-Ass which was funded by the cast and crew, using their own production company Marv Films before looking for a distributor in Universal.
We could say that our film is institutionally similar to Super, as well as Kick-Ass, as it has a small budget (of only $2m, which is a very small budget for a full length film) and is filmed on location at public places.
We added in credits that referred to both actors and directors (as we took in turns directing and acting), this is because they are the most influential on the outcome of the film, as the director adds the creative touch, by wanting sets to be in a certain style, and provokes a certain performance from his actors. And without actors the film, wouldn't really be a film. Furthermore, it's usual for director (such as Steven Spielberg at the start of Jurassic Park) and actor names (for example Will Ferrel name appears at the start of Anchorman) to come up in credits at the start of a film.
