They also supply resources for production and post-production activities like distribution, marketing, and addressing any problems that arise during production. Major production companies focus on revenue and promoting films to wider audiences to increase profits, while independent companies target specific niche audiences with one-off films. The document provides examples of production companies that have produced thriller films.

1. The importance of the production
companies:
The production has great importance as it is responsible for; fund
raising, budgeting, scheduling and scripting for a film. They must
find a suitable director and casting for the film. Also they are tasked
with supplies of resources for the the whole production and screen.

2. The difference between a major and an independent
production company:
Major companies focus on the revenue of the sales their film
completes. the main priority is to promote the film and to make
money out of it. Companies like the 20th century try to target wider
audiences to increase potential sale like with the movie X-men.
Independant companies target certain audiences within in a certain
niche which make movies a ‘one off’. The sale of the movie is
guaranteed and companies like Tica production target audiences with
a sense of humour to create the comedy movie: ‘ Nice guys finish
last’.

4. MY PRODUCTION LOGO
This production logo that I created is for my thriller based company. it uses many themes
that I will include within my thriller opening scene.
The logo is key for my opening scene; I’ve used colours: Red and Black as the main
colours. These signify danger, violence and rage. This is important as these emphasize
the key generics of a thriller movie. In addition, the font of the writing is very bold which
makes it stand out and signifies the danger even further; especially with the dark colour
and red outline.
The word: ‘Grim’ links in with the Grim reaper which is a personification of death. Death
is signified within a thriller and the hooded skeleton emphasizes death. The weapon:
‘Scythe’ connotes violence and anger. The background is used as a foreshadow as bad
weather emphasizes bad callings; something bad will happen like something bad will
happen within the movie. To the audience, this create a sense of fear as death comes to
everyone; it's inescapable.
