Evaluation Question Three

A production company is a company responsible for the physical production of a film. They are also sometimes directly responsible for the funding for the production as well. A film distributor is responsible for releasing a film to the public. This can be either in cinemas or straight to DVD or on the internet. The production company I have used for my film is Twisted Pictures and the distributor I have used is Lionsgate. I have used these two as they both produce/release horror films such as the 'Saw' franchise, 'My Bloody Valentine' and 'The Tortured'. The funding for a film like mine may have come from the production company as they are sometimes responsible for the funding of a films production. I have only listed Lionsgate, Twisted Pictures and the producer of the film in the opening titles because, just like in 'Saw' only these few are shown. This is because in horror films, there is quite a big budget so the production companys are credited at the start. Also there isn't much shown so that people can focus more on the film as the story starts almost automatically so the audience can get straight into it. My film is similar to the 'Saw' franchise, the 'Final Destination' movies and 'Scream' as it will have a similar budget as them. My film would have had a budget of around $10,000,000 as it is the average budget for a Twisted Pictures movie. It will be similar to Final Destination and Scream in the way that most of the locations are just normal places like houses and in school and has a group of friends in which most of them wil die during the movie. Just like other horror films, there are a reasonable amount of characters as it doesn't matter if there is quite a few as you do not have to get to know every single one as most are killed off pretty much straight away.
