- 4. Hammer Hammer films is a production company founded in 1934. it is most known for its horror and thriller films and is known for its classic thrillers such as Dracula and Frankenstein as well as more modern ones like the woman in black. I think that this production company would be right for our film as it is not ony known for its genre defining thriller films but also its style of intense and suspensful movies represents our film very well and as such I think they would be a good company t consider for our film.
- 5. kaleidoscope • This is a film distribution company that is one of the fastest growing production companies to be associated with thriller films. due to the fact that it is an up and coming distribution company it is much more likely to take our film than a massive production company like warner brothers for example. This means that it is one of the main production company's we would consider for our film.
- 6. New line cinema • New line cinema is a very popular thriller production company it is known for films like seven. A lot of the films is produces follow similar aspects to our film meaning that it would be a good thriller company to use as they are experienced in this genre ad would know the steps that they should to distribute it to as many people as possible. However due to them being such a large company it would be hard to get them to distribute as it would cost a huge amount of money.
- 7. appeal • Our film would probably appeal to most places outside of the UK this is because there isn't anything to our film that makes it UK specific. The scenario is also something that could happen anywhere on earth. Because of all this our film would be a le to be shown to a much wider audience without it seeming odd or not relating to anyone.
- 8. Self distribution • Self distribution is another route to go down however it defiantly has its positives and negatives. On the upside sending your film to festivals and putting it on websites is a much cheaper option and you have full control over your films distribution. However it Is extremely hard for your film to get seen anywhere doing it like this and it is often potluck whether someone sees your film. Also sending your film to a festival can cost a large fee and with the low chance of your film getting seen it is a big risk to take On top of that often a lot of the websites you put your film on will take huge cuts of up to over half the price of the film meaning that turning a profit can be extremely difficult. Because we don’t have any experience in distribution it wouldn’t make sense to go down this route as we wouldn’t know what we were doing and would likely get something wrong.
