Film Institutions

Dream Works Pictures -


Although this film brand is very popular, a lot of films produced are animated and aimed more for children, so it is not the most suitable film institution for the genre of our film. Only a select few of the films they have produced match our genre of film, one of them being 'The Ring' so we will not be using it. Some of the films 'Dreamworks' have produced are

• Shrek
• Meet The Parents
• She's The Man

From looking at the films produced, I don't think we will be using this logo during our film because it would not reach the audience and genre that we want it too.

 Paramount Pictures -

This brand is a well known one among many people, as they have produced some very popular films. The types of films they make are aimed at all different types of genre's, so we could possibly use it for our film. Some of the horror films they have produced include

• Friday the 13th 
• Paranormal Activity
• Sleepy Hollow

From seeing that they have produced these films, it shows that Paramount Pictures could possibly be one of the best film institutions to use for our film. 

Ghost House Pictures -

From researching this film institution, I have found that they produce a lot of horror films, so this logo could possibly be a very good one for our horror film we are thinking about making. Some of the films they have produced include

• 30 Days of Night
• Drag Me To Hell
• The Grudge
• Boogeyman 2

If you continue down the list of films they have made, it is clear that they are widely associated with the horror genre as most of their films are not suitable for young children. Most of the films they make are widely successful in making people jump due to the different editing and camera shots. For our filming we could expand our ideas by looking at films like 'The Grudge' and '30 Days of Night' because the shots used are there to create maximum fright. 

Warner Bros Pictures 

From researching this film institution, I do not think we will use it, as they have not produced many horror films, and are mainly associated with every other genre. Also a lot of their films are aimed at a younger audience, and most people's assumptions when they see this logo is that it is going to be a light hearted film. Some of the films they have produced are

• The Harry Potter series
• The Exorcist 
• The Matrix series
• Star Wars

Overall from the research I have done of these few film institutions, I think the logo's to use would either be Ghost House Pictures or Paramount Pictures as they have produced more horror films over the other companies. When it comes to our filming 'Ghost House Pictures' may be slightly more suitable than 'Paramount Pictures.'
