A production company is a company that has funded productions in the past.

They assist in the budgeting, scheduling, scripting and casting of films.

Production companies are often owned by a film studio or entertainment
company who is the production companys partner or parent company. A
production company is often run by a director or producer.
Production companies have idents; this is the recognisable logo of the production
company that appears at the start of every film. An effective production
company ident will be recognisable and will reflect their company. A few
examples of popular production companies are Universal, Dreamworks, 20 th
Century Fox, Paramount and Warner Brothers.
If I had to choose a production company for my thriller film Id choose New Line
Cinema. Id choose this as my production company to produce my thriller as
they have produced a lot of popular thriller films before so therefore they must
have good experience and know how to make a thriller film popular and
successful. New Line Cinema is a unit of Warner Bros. This would be beneficial
when producing my thriller because New Line Cinema will get help from
Warner Bros and therefore will maximise film performance and operating
efficiency. New Line Cinema is based in America and is an American film studio.
New Line Cinema is known for producing films such as The Conjuring 2 Lights
out, Annabelle and San Andres. All these films have thriller aspects; this
means this production company should be effective in helping produce my
thriller film. I could fund my thriller film by government grants, private equity,
private investors or debt finance.
Paramount is an effective
production company ident as it
has a significant setting that
people will recognise due to its
significance. It uses mountains
which link its name
Paramount.
The imagery of the
tallest mountain
having the
production company
name on top of it
connotes that
Paramount is the
best production
company as its on
top.
The stars around the tallest
mountain and the name of the
production company is also
effective as is links to the
quality of the film as films are
rated in stars suggesting to
the audience that if the movie
is produced by Paramount
then itll be a good film.

Paramount is also an effective production

company ident due to its typography. The
word Paramount has been made very
bold in order for the audience to
remember it. The parent company
Vitacom is also bold and in capital
letters to show the audience its
