The purpose of a production company in a film project is to provide funding for the film. During the research for our production company, we look at many production companies through the compilation below. However, we also looked at top horror production houses for inspiration. We looked at Lionsgate Films, Twisted Pictures, Blumhouse Productions and Dark Castle Films.
Lionsgate Films
Lionsgate Films worked as the production company for many popular horror films, such as You're Next, The Devils Rejects, American Psycho, Texas Chainsaw and The Cabin in the Woods. It is a Canadian-American film production company, and was founded in 1962 by Frank Giustra.
We used the black and white/ dark colour scheme in our production company as it connotes the grim themes and dark aspects of our film. Our film also uses cool colours and using this within out production company helps set the mood for the rest of the film.

The company was founded after the success of the first Saw film in 2002, it was founded by staff from Evolution Entertainment, the film house who originally produced Saw.
We took the element of using natural parts to put in our production company. In the Twisted Pictures Production Company Title, a reel of thorns is used to wrap around the text. In our production company, we used footage of brain neurons in black and white

We used the tense music within this production company title. In this it uses very fast past music to build tension, however in our we used a low, slow rumble that builds slowly to bring up the tension.

Dark Castle Entertainment
Dark Castle is an American film production house who worked on films such as Ghost Ship, House on Haunted Hill, Thirteen Ghosts, Orphan, House of Wax and Splice. It was founded by Joel Silver in 1999.
We used the quick speed of the text being on screen; the short duration allows just long enough for the audience to recognise the production company, but not long enough to drag it out and distract attention from the rest of the film or the distribution company.
