Institutional research;

I have completed some research into what film production I think would produce my film and I this blog post I am going to be writing about why I have chosen ‘dark castle entrainment’ to produce my film and what my other options could have been.

   I firstly found the production company was ‘blumhouse production’ this is a major production company in realising thrillers/ horrors  there most recent films include paranormal activity, Insidious, Sinister, The Purge. This film company has been called the heavyweight company of the this genre in film, this is one of the main reason that I decided against this company as it is producing very large films with very large budgets; however our film is going to be a small production without a large budget so therefore I don’t feel our film would fit into thus company and there other film companies. Another reason that I didn’t feel my film wouldn’t fit into the ethics of the company is because the company has produced a lot of horror film however I feel that my film a more of a thriller rather than a horror.

     I then found the a company called ‘Vertigo Entertainment’ this was my second option to choosing the company I would want to produce my film; I didn’t feel that this company really fits what my film is about and the route my film is going down. Some of these companies’ films include The Grudge, Ring 2, Dark Water, and Shutter; these films are all very different to my film as they are more of a horror rather than thriller. As well as this there is more fitted to large scale productions also meaning that it will not fit my plan to produce my film on a low budget. 

   Finally after different sorts of research I found ‘dark castle entertainment’ this company was one that I could see my film being produced by as they have produced some similar films and have produced many good films with a low budget so I feel that my film would be well produced with a small budget how I planned to do my film. Previous films include films such as Thirteen Ghosts, Gothika and House of Wax these films are similar to ours and I feel our film will complement these films very well. I also feel that this company will really get to grips with what our film is about and will help us to achieve what we want to with our film.
