Production Company research

BlumHouse Productions produces high-quality, micro-budget films, Paranormal activity was made for only $15,000 then released by Paramount Pictures and grossed $200 million. Their other films include Insidious and Sinister.  As they are a low budget company we can take inspiration from their techniques.  Their three main films all have supernatural horror in common, but they are also filmed in similar locations, everyday normal places e.g. family home. 

 Paramount Pictures is a very large production company who create every type of film, usually on a big budget.  They have been partnered with BlumHouse productions many times, this is quite common that a smaller and a larger production company team up together.                                                                                                                                    

Warner Bros is a fully integrated, broad-based entertainment company and a global leader in the creation, production, distribution, licensing and marketing of all forms of entertainment and their related businesses.  Warner Bros are another of the very large companies who operate on big budgets, examples of their recent supernatural horrors are The Conjuring and The Orphan.

Dark Castle is a production company focused on the making of horror films, particularly supernatural.  The most famous of their films would be the Orphan.  As this company is mainly supernatural horror, this could be an option that we could use in our opening.

Lionsgate is another huge production company who make a variety of films from all different genres.  They were one of the production companies working on The Last Exorcism and as we are using elements of exorcisms in our film opening they might be an appropriate company to use.
