Researching Short Film Promotion

Find out about short film production companies and how their logo is created.

Short Film Production Company= Providing the physical basis to get short films off the ground either by giving them information which can benefit them or give opportunities which help pursue a career in short films.


I reasearched 3 different Short Film Production Companies to find out what their role is within short films.

1) Camelot Films

Camelot Films is a company with the intention of helping short film makers from the beginning of ideas and concept. They help with a range of activities from script writing and development all the way to editing, production and route to market.

They use Vimeo to post new short films when completed and have their own film festival called Camelot Films Internation Film Festival where people all over the world come to have their films judged by Oscar winning sound designer  (Gravity, Slumdog Millionaire, V for Vendetta), acting legend Julian Glover (Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Indiana Jones), VFX superstar Chris Hardman (Avatar, Spectre, Harry Potter) and award winning actor Ian Burfield (V for Vendetta, The Selfish Giant).

 
By using Vimeo it helps show a wider range of audiences their short films as they have over 100 short films on Vimeo.

2) White Lantern Film

White Lantern Film is an independent production company which make films that make a difference. Based in the South coast of England they are part of BFI FILM ACADEMY, inspiring talented young film-makers and supporting the local film industry in Bournemouth through BREEL, a regular film networking and screening event.

 
Like the previous Short Film Production Company, White Lantern Film uses Vimeo too, submitting all their new work onto it so that they can get recognition. They also have a community programme which complements the talent development initiatives by providing opportunities for those who would not normally engage in film to gain new insights and knowledge in film-making by running knowledge talks at the University of the Third Age which reveales insights into the industry and background to their company.

3) Breakneck Films

Breakneck Films is a company created by Jo Lewis which aims to create targeted stories that tell a bigger picture and craft experiences that better engage the increasingly fragmented way people consume the world. They have featured in many film festivals such as The BFI London and worked with names like Redbull.


Unlike the rest of the Short Film Production Companies, Breakneck films do not use Vimeo due to them being a bigger company and being able to show their videos off via other means of websites such as having their own piece on IMBd.
