Production Companies

I looked at different production companies that specifically produce horror films and researched a bit about each individual one, in order to find the best one that would work for the film my partner and I have created.

Blumhouse produces low-budget genre movies and some of the most famous are, Paranormal Activity and Insidious. It has managed all these years to turn low budget films into a successful work that earns millions of money for the production company, distribution company and the cast. I feel this would be an appropriate company to use as it has low-budgets, which my partner and I will most likely want to have as well.

The company is best known for producing one of the most successful horror movies (SAW series). As this company has produced such a famous film series that many people are familiar with, it will therefore encourage people to want to go and see the film its producing made by my partner and I.

Is a production company created by two successful American directors and film producers. Both producers are famous and have a long successful career and now works with big budget projects. They also became famous for their horror genre themed films. As the directors and film producers are famous and well known, this would be a reason as to why I would maybe like to use this production company for my film. People would want to go and see it, as they would be familiar with their previous films made that have been successful.

A production company affiliated with Warner Bros. The company has a story of about 15 years of production and has produced more than 10 films which were all successful. They specialise in low-to-mid budget fare. I feel that this company has a good experience with making horror films and know what they're doing, therefore I would feel comfortable if I were to use this company for my film.

Unfriended Poster Analysis

--> The main image here is of one of the character's most likely to be the protagonist. --> The protagonist is shown here using a close up shot. The use of this shot makes the character seem close towards the audience. Implying that during the film the audience will become closer to the character and is likely to sympathise for them. --> Dull/dark colours (black, white, grey) --> Use of red, could represent blood within the film and a sense of violence. --> Black background, makes the writing and picture on the poster stand out. --> Movie title (san serif, biggest writing, most bold), indication of genre - located at the bottom to allow focus on the image. --> Credits located at the bottom. --> Tagline - gives away a bit of the storyline. --> Cinema release month. --> Social media links.

Potential Sketch Layouts

After doing research into different kinds of film posters, I sketched out 3 different potential layouts I may want to use for the poster of my film. I noticed a trend within horror film posters - they all seem to have very minimal writing on them and most likely has one main image. Therefore due to this I think that the top, and bottom posters would be the most successful.
