Film Industry Company Structure

It is important when planning anything to have a particular structure which will help guide them do the right route to having a successful product. Without this it is quite easy for the process to be damaged and lose track of what needs to be done. The structure of the film comes from the ownership of the industry who will be producing the film. An example of this is a synergy partnership, they generally produce high production valued films which allows them to produce the the best of everything like marketing.

For me to fully understand and decide how my film will be structured I need to define the different structures that are available. I must take into consideration of my funding and the overall success of the film.

Synergy partnership:

This is used when one specific independent company within the industry cannot achieve what they feel they can do without the support of others. They interact with other organisations who helps with the overall development of the production in order to expand the chances of success. A lot of the time when production and integration is limited, the small funding becomes very beneficial. An example of this is The Inbetweeners film which was a synergy production between Film Four and Bwark Productions.

Conglomerate:

A conglomerate is when different industries merge together to become one and progress together. This usually involves one main company then a few subsidiary companies. you normally find conglomerates to be large and multi-national.

The structure of the films does determine how successful the film, depending on which structure your organisation is and whether the budget is off a certain amount can make the film more popular because of publishing and advertising. As i am a really small independent company and i will be against other high production companies it will be hard for me to achieve high success. Myself, i will be able to produce the trailer, poster and magazine because of the skills i have gained during the media course but will find it quite difficult to distribute my production.
