The different types of production companies
What is a production company’s unique discipline and focus? Are there multiple types, and how do you know which one is right for you? A film production company primarily focuses on producing a film, TV, short films, and web series content.
Now, even Youtube videos and other social content have become a major publishing platform for film production companies. That is because their reach is constantly expanding and starting to replace more traditional forms of mass media. They have to change with the times to evolve and stay relevant.
A radio or music production company would primarily focus on recording, producing, and publishing music for consumers. These audio-focused production companies are also starting to move into podcasting, Alexa Skills, and other audio-based media platforms to expand their reach. It’s a smart way to use their current skill set of producing great audio entertainment for the modern masses.
Often, a film production company will collaborate with or hire an audio production company to work on the soundtrack for a film; other times, the audio production company may reach out to the film production company to create a music video for one of their artists. When production companies really get big, this all happens under one roof.
Universal Studios represents an exemplary production company that generates content across a diverse range of media formats, including film, television, music, and even comic books.
