Question 3

The group decided of the name of our production should be Boundless Productions. We called it this because believe that we can do anything and we aren’t limited to anything, this means if we were a really company we would get people’s attention. Also the angled shape behind the text is similar to the infinity symbol. We have our company logo or ident is at the start of the opening sequence and it slowly zooms into grab the audience’s attention.

Production companies are key in the film industry. Their job is to obviously produce a film and sell the film that we produce. Nearly all production companies these days help the film makers and the creation of their film; they do this by making schedules, budgeting and sometimes even help make decisions on actors and key members of staff/crew.

The production basically gets control over the entire film. The production company other the years generates money from past products and is able to fund this film to generate even more money. They have to advertise the new film and they own all the rights to the film and the production company gets paid every time a DVD is sold and every time it is shown in a cinema.

I would like Lionsgate to produce our thriller because they are renowned for doing many thriller films.  Lionsgate is a leading global entertainment company with a strong presence in motion picture production and distribution, television programming and syndication, home entertainment, family entertainment, digital distribution and international distribution and sales. These means we can get our production out to a much wider range of people. Also they have shows on 20 different TV networks, making it so much easier to advertise our film.

Lionsgate have produced massively iconic films, for example The Hunger Games and Twilight and emerging young adult brands like Divergent and Ender’s Game.  These are large names for the filming industry, this tells us that they have a large about of experience. But they don’t only do thriller films they do many other genres as well. For example Kevin Hart’s Let me explain. I believe they would be very helpful in giving us pointers when we create our production.

When you decide to work with a large production company like Lionsgate, you get a bigger audience, this is because the production company its self already has a large fan base. This means you also inherit the company’s audience, attracting more people globally as well as locally.

 Our titles are similar to the walking dead, showing the actors first and the executive producers last followed by the title. The table below compares the order of credits with the order the credits were presented in our production:

Walking dead	Our Film

We missed a couple of things out, but the waking dead opening titles sequence is very different from most thriller films, only a the most important names are mentioned at the start where as other films list. The special effects, directors, costume design, writers, makeup artists. We decided to keep it plain and simple.
