Question 3 by Owen Rowntree https://padlet.com/owenrowntree/njhrn1puwd71 en-us 2017-01-20 21:53:44 UTC 2025-11-07 11:59:11 UTC hello@padlet.com owenrowntree https://padlet.com/owenrowntree/njhrn1puwd71/wish/148488947 Q3: In our thriller, as per any other, or any film for that matter, we would need a production company to make our film. A production company is a group of people who help the film with everything from production schedule and filming, to budgeting the film and choosing the cast they think would make the film the best it can be. If the production fail in any way they have to take full liability for example, if one of the actors gets injured whilst shooting a scene, the company will have to pay out for their health care, and meaning they cannot continue with filming if it is a main character, and consequently the film will run over time and over budget, meaning a loss of profit. Haxan Films is the company we would use to produce this, as they are best known for the film 'The Blair Witch Project' a low budget film which made a profit of $250 Million in the US Box Office, which would make our film a major success. They are appropriate as they use low budgets to create high profit, and high quality films.  

Media Production Companies attract audiences through the way that they create the film. If the company spent a lot of money on their film, ensured they casted correctly and have actors with star personas to their genre, this would appeal greatly to their audience. They also have to have a good production schedule , so it doesnt run over time, or is shortened so there is less time to record.

The budget is an essensial part of film production. If the budget is too low, they wont have the money to do everything they can to make the film the quality they want, but if they go over budget, the chances of making a profit are slim, and this gives other films a lesser budget.
 
Our production company would be called Eclipse Films, as we decided we would create our own. The logo shows a solar eclipse in the background with the words 'Eclipse Films' in an attractive font. We chose the name Eclipse Films as it is a name that will stand out and remain in your memory. We created our ident from scratch using photoshop, and used Dafont.com to find a font that would be good looking, as photoshop don't have many fonts that would allow us to attract an audience. Many low budget films use a still image with a sound over the top of it with is simple but effective.
