Film Production Companies

Warner Bros. Pictures produced films such as 'The Shining', 'House of Wax' and 'The Exorcist', which are highly popular horror movies. However, I feel that the use of this production company may induce preconceptions of our film being 'childlike', as the company is also well known for producing films such as 'Harry Potter' and classic Warner Bros. cartoons.
Paramount pictures distributed films such as 'Paranormal Activity', 'Rosemary's Baby' and 'Friday the 13th'. As a company they are very well known, and have produced popular horror films for decades. The same issue exists however, as the introduction may seem too upbeat for our psychological horror. The company does have associations with family films such as 'Mean Girls'. For this reason, we will probably research into more independent production companies that specialise in horror.


Twisted Pictures have produced films such as the 'Saw' series and 'Repo! The Genetic Opera', and are known for producing films that have a dark quality. I feel this production company's logo will look appropriate before our teaser trailer as it is on a black screen, which is how our teaser trailer opens. We will download this production logo and see how well they integrate together.
