Mainstream or independent?

For our film we need to look at what companies would possibly want to produce our film if we made a full version of the 5 minute one. 

There are normally two types of production companies mainstream and independent.

Mainstream- 
If a production company has major funding either through earnings, studio investors, or private investors, and has done or been involved with big budget productions in the past, it is considered to be a major production company. These companies often work with well-known and expensive talent. They have a budget from their bosses which they can spend on anything they want to make the film look as good as possible and they are usually broadcast worldwide to everyone so they make more money than they have to spend. Massive companies that own most of the media industry such as Time warner are called conglomerates. 

Independent-
These companies are known for just basing themselves in one country like the UK and don't have enough money to broadcast their film worldwide. Through my research i have found that these kind of companies rely on regional identity to help sell their films and rely on certain themes. Independent companies don't rely on using other peoples money to fund their productions and are known for using actors that aren't that well known to help propel them into the filming industry. Independent films can be known for making indie films and using up and coming stars that eventually get to appear in the mainstream films of hollywood. 

Verdict- 
I think that our film will definitely be needed to sold by independent company because it is more suited to our brief. I think that it is appropriate because we don't have big stars being featured into our film and we don't have the money or technology to really use any special effects unlike the mainstream companies like Time Warner that can use them in nearly every film to excite the audience. In an independent film were just going to have to use other methods to try and make our film look professional.
