production companies

 

The four chosen film companies above are involved in the production of horror movies. I have researched and compared them to see which one suites the aesthetics of my film style the best. here is my process of elimination below. 

 

Warner brothers pictures was founded in America 

1923 and in 1990 it subsidiarized with Time Warner

Inc. The Warner Brothers headquarters is based in 

Burbank, California, USA. The production company was

founded by four brothers: Harry Warner, Jack Warner,

Albert Warner and Samuel Warner. Back in the 1920s

Warner bros was well known for it's low budget 

technical films. In this day in age Warner Bros has 

excelled in the creation of horror films and have

produced many successful films such as: IT, The 

Shining, The Exorcist, Unfriended, The Conjuring 

1 and 2, Anabel creation, The Nun and Nightmare 

on Els street. Warner Bros generates a revenue of

$13.87 billion.

New Line Cinema is an American film production 

company and it was founded in 1967 by Robert

Shaye. New Line Cinema is owned by Warner 

bros. The headquarters is based in Burbank, 

California, USA. New line Cinema generates a 

revenue of $39.1 M. New Line Cinema is involved 

with the creation of all the Warner Bros horror films. 

         

Focus Features is an American film production 

company established in 2002 by David Lind and 

owned by Universal Pictures. The headquarters 

is based in New York, USA. Focus Features grossed

a revenue of $208 M. Focus Features is mostly 

known in the horror genre department to have 

created the films Insidious chapter 3 and Sinister. 

Blum house productions is an American film production 

company that was established to primarily produce films 

containing the horror genre. Blum house productions was

 founded in 2000 by Jason Blum. The production company 

has grossed $4 billion world wide. Blum house has 

produced many successful horror movies such as: Us, Truth

or Dare?, Get out, Insidious The Last Key, Happy Death Day

2 You, The First Purge, Sinister 2, Hush, Ouija, Happy Death

Day, Insidious Chapter 3, Sinister and Unfriended. 

In conclusion to my research I will be using Blum house productions  as it primarily produces horror films where as the other 3 production companies are better known for producing films with a different genre, however in the end it came down to Blum house and Focus features. I decided that although Focus features was smart that the Blum hose introduction spoke out and relayed better to the narrative and style of my film. One other reason why I chose not to use Focus features was that the distorted "o" in the Focus had representations of depth perception and how the mind see different things in different ways. This in my opinion would best relate to a psychological horror which is not the type of horror sub-genre I intend to produce.
