2. TWISTED PICTURES
• Twisted Pictures is an American independent production company, mainly
creating films of the horror genre. The company was founded in 2004 by
Evolution Entertainment's Mark Burg, Oren Koules and Gregg Hoffman.
They are known for producing the Saw film series.
• Twisted pictures are renowned for distributing extreme horrors such as
Saw. This would make our media product fit right into the companies line of
fantastic films. They also have a distribution deal with Lionsgate (a North
American entertainment company) which is also an established
entertainment which would make Twisted Pictures a truly valuable company
to distribute our media product. However they are based in America which
does not suit the target market that we are trying to aim our media product
to.
3. UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
• Universal Studios Inc. (also known as Universal Pictures), is an
American motion picture studio, owned by Comcast, and is one of
the six major movie studios. It is one of the longest-lived motion
picture studios to be located outside of Hollywood. It is a sub division
of American media conglomerate NBCUniversal.
• Universal are also a large corporation indeed and they are a well
know business. They have produced such films as Psycho, Jaws and
Frankenstein. These are legendary horror movies which would make
our media product fit right in. However the company is American
which would not be suitable for our media product because our
product is intended for British viewers.
4. HAMMER FILM PRODUCTIONS
• Hammer is one of the most well-known film brands in the UK. Since
its birth in 1934, Hammer has made over 150 feature films and it is
responsible for the worldwide smash The Woman In Black, the
critically acclaimed Let Me In and Wake Wood, and tense
psychological thriller The Resident. The company is best known for a
series of Gothic "Hammer Horror" films made from the mid-1950s
until the 1970s.
• They are very much suited to be the media institution to distribute
our media product. The company specialises in horror movies which
would be perfect for our media product to blend in with their range of
films and the y also are based in the UK which make the Media
institution that much more appealing because our media product is
aimed at the British market. They don’t just produce and distribute
films they also publish books and upload videos onto YouTube
which means there are a number of different ways which you can
publish your product on Hammer Productions making them our main
pick for our Media institution.
