5. Out of these three film studios I would choose to Distribute my film to
Blumhouse Productions. I have chosen them as the films that they have produced
in the past have gone on to become highly successful franchises. Paranormal
Activity and Sinister are two of the most popular thriller movie franchises around
at the moment and they were produced by Blumhouse Productions .Almost every
film that has been produced by Blumhouse Productions have become extremely
successful and have all had fantastic reviews and ratings. This is the main reason
why i would choose to distribute my film to Blumhouse Productions. Also I have
watched multiple films which have been produced by Blumhouse Productions and
i have thoroughly enjoyed each one. The production value of their films are very
large which means that their films will be more intense and gripping. I would not
chose to distribute my film to Hammer Film Productions as they have not
produced any major films in a long while and the ones that they have produced
were produced a long time a go and all have similar story lines and a similar feel to
them. I would not distribute my film to Dark Castle entertainment , even though
that they have produced a lot of successful films they have not become as
successful as films produced by Blumhouse Productions.
WHO WOULD I CHOOSE?
