Production Companies

- Twisted Pictures: Had it's first success with the Saw film franchise. It's an American independent production company, specialising in the horror genre. It was formed after the box office success of Saw in 2004, which lead to a nine-picture deal with Lionsgate. The company went on to produce six sequels in the Saw film series.

 

The clip shows barbed wires and a nail, resembling the scenery in the saw series. I think this is a very effective studio clip as it clearly shows the audience what the genre is before its even began. The animated clip also has the wire wrapping its way around the text in a very eerie sinister way after leaving scars. This personifies the text making it seem as if it can be scarred.
 

- Hammer Films: Based in the UK and founded in 1934 its best know for its Gothic films made in the 50s-70s. Its success can also come down to its partnership with major studios such as Warner Bros. Some of the popular films made by these companies include: Frankenstein, Dracula and The Mummy. 

This studio has alot more films to its name than twisted pictures and shows this by presenting these films in the title. Although its impressive and good they are crediting all of there previous accomplishments, I feel it takes the attention way from the current film. It feels more like a TV advert and less like a movie studio clip. 

- Between the two we would most likely be using twisted pictures to be the film studio company we use in our opening. It looks more creative and sets up the genre of the film better than Hammer films does. Our films also have very subtle colours so Twisted pictures is more fitting.
