Production Companies
Bad Robot is an American production company that is famously owned by J. J. Abrahams. The company has been associated by many popular films including, Star Trek, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Morning Glory. The company has been very successful as they have awards proving it for many of the TV series or films associated with them.
The production company shown, Bad Robot, is a good production company video because it is a very iconic looking production company. As the screenshot shows, the whole company name is linked in with the animation shown. One downside is that it doesn't have any music accompanying the entire video. |
MGM production company, more popularly known as Metro Goldwyn Mayer, are an American Production company in which have been a very reliable as there have been a lot of popular films that are associated with the company. For example, The Amityville Horror, and the Hannibal franchise.
The production company shown, MGM, is a very good production company video. I think this because the video very iconic and memorable. This is because it is a unique video as it contains the roaring lion accompanied by no other sound at all. |
Twisted Pictures is an American, independent, movie production company, specialising in horror. Within their production video they feature a nail tightening a string of barbed wire against a pitch black screen. The simplicity of the exclusively black background used provides a moody and overall depressive emotion which implies that this is a horror production company whilst also emphasising the sharp and dangerous objects in the foreground. As the screw pulls on the wire which is wrapped around the title 'Twisted Pictures', we see cuts appear on the previously white and unmarked text; this shows purity (signified by the white) being distorted and threatened, suggesting that the film you are about to watch will follow suit. This production company video would be best suited to horror.

Ghost House Pictures are a production company that have produced many successful horror films. Just some of these films include, the remakes of both Poltergeist andThe Evil Dead, and was associated with the production of Drag Me to Hell. The films that have been named are big names and have been hugely successful around the world.
This final production company that I have researched is Ghost House. This production company mostly involve themselves with horror films. Some of these films include The Grudge. Their production company video then links in with the film that they are producing. This is shown how their is a skeleton shown in the video which is associated with death and horror-like things. |
Conclusion - Timeless Media Film Productions
After researching a variety of production companies and several edits to our initial ideas we finally settled on name our production company ' Timeless Media Film Productions'. We chose this name as we noticed that most production companies didn't just primarily focus on one genre of film anymore as opposed to Hammer Films originally producing solely horror related titles. So we decided to create a more general sounding name to reflect this trend. Additionally, we have included horror elements as this is something that most production companies do, where they reflect the genre of the movie in their ident. Examples of this would be Warners Bros. producing unique idents for horror movies such as the ones seen in The Conjuring or Gothika. Another aspect we have used is to include horror related visuals and sound effects to link into our film's genre. The flicking footage is reminiscent of the opening of Se7en while the sound effect a creepy music from a traditional jack in the box toy. Including both these elements draw inspiration from classic and more recent horror films.
