For the production company distributor i first looked at the most popular ones such as DreamWorks and Paramount. These would be outside my budget and they also distribute many genres of film. Next using bfi.org i looked at British film companies and some independent companies which are much smaller and are within my budget range, these included Vertigo films, Slingshot films, Trinity films and Momentum.

From researching into the British film companies I was able to see what types of film they distribute and decided whether they are suitable for my film production. Looking at Vertigo films I found that they have distributed a lot of successful horror/thriller films, because of this I thought that they should be the company who would distribute my production ‘Final Victim’. Others such as Slingshot films and Trinity films have distributed some thriller films but mainly focus in comedies or other genres so i didn’t pick them. From researching Momentum pictures I found that they are a well-funded company and would be well out of my budget range but one of their main genres is horror/thrillers.

Compared to the bigger institutions such as DreamWorks, the smaller independent British companies would be more suitable to my target audience because of their characteristics and knowledge of film companies. They also specialize in more animated films which would be under the age of my target market. In our production I created my own production company logos; Scream works and red studio production.
