Evaluation question 3

With the plot of our film being more risky as it goes against the government we decided that our film would be produced by a small independent company as they have more freedom of creativity than one of the Big Six. The Big Six consists of The Walt Disney Company, Warner Brothers, 20^th Century Fox, Columbia, Universal, and Paramount. In the Big Six there’s a lot of creative restriction as there’s an emphasis on making money. 

We then went on to look at two independent film companies, Warp Films and Working Title. 

Warp films make social realistic films that focus on British problems. Examples of films made by Warp Films are Submarine, Four Lions, and This Is England. 

Working Title make a wide variation of films ranging from films with a mainstream story line, such as Love Actually and Bridget Jones Diary, to independent risky storylines such as Senna and United 93. Other films made by Working Title include Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Rush, and Closed Circuit. Even though Working Title is owned by Universal Studios it still has creative freedom as they are given a yearly allowance to create whatever film they want to with no limitations. Because of this we decided that Working Title would be a good company to produce our film as they have created films of a similar genre before and because of their affiliation with Universal Studios the film could be distributed to a wider audience.
