Potential production companies and logos for poster and teaser trailer

Potential production companies 
I have conducted research into different Horror production companies. From this i've decided to combine three main production companies. This is because i've noticed that Horror films are often co produced by studios that are associated with the genre, rather than mainstream Hollywood studios. 

 My chosen production companies are: Dimension Films, Ghost house pictures and Blumhouse Productions


Blumhouse Productions is an American film and television production company, which was originally founded by Jason Blum. Blumhouse is mainly known for producing low-budget horror films, such as The Purge, Split, Paranormal Activity, Sinister, Get out, The Gift and insidious. This is why this company will be good for me, as I am not producing a Hollywood Blockbuster. Blumhouse is notorious for producing the Academy Award-winning film Whiplash,  which then led to being nominated for the Academy award for Best picture. In 2014, the company had signed a 10-year first-look deal with universal pictures.



Dimension Films is an American film production company and independant film distribution label for Horror films. Dimenson, formerly owned by The Walt Disney studio, is now owned by The Weinstein Company. Thanks to the purchase of Miramax and Walt Disney, since expanding they started to release a wider range of genres. Dimensions success was founded by the release of films such as 'Spy Kids', 'Scary Movie 3' and 'The Amityville Horror'. 


After researching about Ghost House pictures, I have decided that they will be the main producer out of my chosen three. This is because Ghost House mainly specialise in the release of Horror films, whereas Blumhouse and Dimension also focus on other genres. Dimension and Blumhouse, however, will also help me with the production process of my film.

Poster analysis introduction

I am going to conduct research and analysis towards the conventions of film posters. I have looked at five different posters from a variety of genres, in order to see if there are similarities within the conventions. This will help my understanding of the depth in film posters, thus benefitting me when I am making my own.  Below are the five posters, each of different genres, which I chose to analyse the conventions of: 1) La La Land  2) Spider Man  3) Insidious 2  4) Hangover 2  5) The Notebook

SFX front cover analysis

This is one of the front covers from SFX magazine. SFX is a British magazine, which covers topics in the genres of popular science fictions, fantasy and horror, in different types of medias such as films, video games, comics and literature. The magazine was founded in 1995 and gets published every 4 weeks for Future PLC. The genre of the magazine can be told immediately by the 3D, silver masthead in bold. This futuristic tone has also been accompanied by a visionary dominant central image. The cover lines mention films; 'Dawn of the Apes' as well as tv shows such as 'Walking Dead', 'Super Natural' and 'Doctor Who'. All of these productions fit in with the Sci-fi genre, which SFX promotes.

Poster analysis 1

The first film poster I am going to be analysing is La La Land as has been classified as the musical genre.  The poster conventions I found for this film were smaller images, reviews, reference to awards, film title, name of stars and star ratings. I suspect the rest of the posters I analyse to include the same conventions, despite the differing genres.
