2. I am going to research into a couple of film studios who are well
known for producing thriller films. I will find out how successful they
have been and who they have previously worked with.
3. Hammer Film Productions
• A film production company who were found in the UK in
1943.
• They have had a partnership with Warner Bros studios
• They are well known for their series of gothic ‘hammer horror’
films such as Dracula
• They also specialise in science fiction, film noir and most of
all, thriller.
4. Recent Success
• In 2011 they produced the thriller film, The Resident.
Director: Antti Jokinen
Gross: $3,069,729
• In 2012 they produced the thriller film, Women in
Black
Director: James Watkins
Gross: $54,322,273
5. Paramount Picture
• A Film production company based in the US who were
founded in 1912
• It is ranked as one of the largest grossing film studios.
• They produce a large variety of film genres, which of
course include Thriller.
6. Recent Success
• In 2010 they produced the thriller film Shutter Island
Director: Martin Scorsese
Gross: $294,804,195
• In 2011 they produced the science-thriller film Super 8
Director: J.J. Abrams
Gross: $259,713,319
7. In conclusion after this research I have decided
that Hammer studios would be the best option for
my film. There are many factors why I have
chosen this studios. Firstly they were found in the
UK so would be more suitable foe my film.
Secondly, although they are a smaller company
compared to Paramount Pictures etc., they do
have a partnership with Warner bros studio. These
are a very big company with a lot of experience.
Because Hammer Studios is a smaller company,
realistically they would probably produce my film,
rather than a bigger company. Lastly, and
probably one of my main reasons for choosing
Hammer productions is because they specialise
in thrillers. This is obviously a huge advantage as
they will know exactly what they are doing with
my film.
