Production companies are often either owned or under contract with a [[media conglomerate]], [[film studio]], [[entertainment]] [[company]], or Motion Picture Company, who act as the ''production company'''s partner or [[parent company]]. This has become known as the "studio system". Independent studios usually prefer ''production house'' (see [[Lionsgate]]), and sometimes as a ''production studio'' or ''production team'' (see [[Amazon Studios]] or [[Rooster Teeth]]). In the case of television, a production company would serve under a [[television network]]. Production companies can work together in [[co-production (filmmaking)|co-production]]s. In music, the term production team typically refers to a group of individuals filling the role of "[[record producer]]" usually reserved for one individual. Some examples of musical production teams include [[Matmos]] and [[D-Influence]] | Production companies are often either owned or under contract with a [[media conglomerate]], [[film studio]], [[entertainment]] [[company]], or Motion Picture Company, who act as the ''production company'''s partner or [[parent company]].
