Lionsgate.



 
Lionsgate.
 Lionsgate is a Canadian entertainment company. It was formed in Vancouver, but is headquartered in Santa Monica, California. The main popular films that Lionsgate have done are: The Hunger Games, American Psycho, Kick-Ass and The Cabin In The Woods.
Some popular Horror films that Lionsgate have made are:


                 The Cabin In                                              Hostel.                                          The Last Exorcism.                          My Bloody Valentine.
                 The Woods.                                                                                                                   
 
 
 
 
                            All of the horror films above are their only successful horrors in the last couple years. After researching horror films from Lionsgate, I discovered that horror was not their strongest points when making films.
by finding this out i don't think i will use this as a institution for the beginning of the 2 minutes.

Warner Bros.



Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc., also known as Warner Bros. Pictures or simply Warner Bros. (though the name was occasionally given in full form as Warner Brothers during the company's early years), is an American producer of film, television, and music entertainment.
Some of the most popular films created by Warner Bros Fox are: Harry Potter, Valentine’s Day,Sex and the City, The Hangover,The Dark Knight and Slumdog Millionaire
As well as action/adventure/comedy films, Warner Brothers also do horror films, some of their popular ones are:

               Friday The 13th.                                          Orphan.                                           House Of Wax.                                 Sweeney Todd.
 

 This Institution would be good to use at the begging of my opening 2 minutes, but seeing as this institution has a wide range of action films to adventure films and that is what they mostly focus on, i dont think i will be using this institution seeing as they usually stray away from the horror genre and keep their mind on the other genres.
 

Twisted Pictures




Twisted Pictures.
Twisted Pictures is an American independent production company Located in Los Angeles, mainly creating films of the horror genre.
They are known for producing the Saw Film series.here are some of the films that they have created:
  
                     Repo!                                               Dead Silence                                          The tortured.                                       Saw,II,III,IV,V,VI
              The Genetic Opera.     

This institution would be great to use in our opening 2 minutes, this is because their main focus is on horror films, and our chosen genre is horror, so i am certain that this institution will go well with our opening 2 minutes.
 

20th century fox


20th century fox.

Located in Los Angele's, 20th century fox is a film company that has created many popular movies.
The organisation was founded in 1935 hand has become the most recognised film institution in the world.
20th century fox has created numerous films such as; X-men, Percy Jackson & the Olympians and Avatar.
although 20th century fox create fantasy and adventure films, they also create Horror films,
                                       Abraham Lincon:                                                            Jeepers creepers.                                        Jennifer's Body.
                                                               Vampire Hunter



 
          When it comes to Horror films, 20 th Century Fox prefers to distribute them rather than produce them. And because 20th century fox also do horror films, this production company would be a good one to consider to use to put at the beginning of our 2 minutes.

Mood board.


  1. We are using Hannah's house to film, because it is the right fitting and scene to our chosen genre because it has small places to hide and has a horror-feel.
  2. The people we are using to act in our film will be ourselves and/or other people that are teenagers.
  3. we will be making the actors hide in small places and look scared.
  4. we will have a murderer on the loose in Hannah's house.
  5. the killer will be using a knife to kill the victims.
  6. we will involve shadows/ people lurking in the shadows
  7. these stairs are similar to the ones in Hannah's house, where the victims will be running up.
  8. Hannah has a cupboard under her stairs, a dead victim will be in there.
  9. the killer will kill the teenagers with a knife.
  10. this wardrobe is similar to the one in Hannah's house, where some of the teenagers will be hiding in.
  11. the teenagers will be wearing pj's or casual clothes, seeing as they are at a sleepover/gathering.
  12. the killer will be wearing a horrifying mask that will scare the victims so that it will be the last thing that they ever see.
  13. we will be using fake blood to give the effect of wounds and cuts to make it more horrifying and to scare the audience.

Audience profiling.

Audience profiling.
 
 
Comparable Profile for Scream 3.
(slasher horror)
By the look of this profile the age that mostly views slasher horrors are 15-24 year olds, therefore the main target audience we should focous on is the mid-teens and early 20's( 15-24). It also shows that the main Gender that views these kind of films are Male. this means we should make our film more appealing to men (This could explain why nearly every slasher horror movie has a range of attractive young women to appeal to the greater male audience), but still appeal to women seeing as 39% of them watch slasher horrors.
The main Class that view these kind of movies are the middle/working class,  this could be because the theme of horror slasher could not appeal to the higher class seeing as it involves gore and death, and it appeals to the middle/ working class because it could be some sort of an escape for them.
 
Comparable Profile for Final Destination.
(Supernatural horror)
This profile shows the age that mostly watch supernatural horrors are 15-24 year olds, this means that the main focus and target audience is mid teens and early 20's.  The main gender that seem to watch supernatural horrors are Male, again, this means that most horror films appeal to men, this is why our opening 2 minutes/ film should appeal mostly to men. (including attractive females in distress and gore.) but we still need to make the film appeal to women seeing as 47% of females do actually watch supernatural horrors.
Supernatual horrors attract the more higher class, looking at the comparable profile shows this, this could mean that the higher class like to see not much gore but alot of freaky and weird stuff relation to supernatural things. the lower working class seem to not watch alot of supernatural horrors, this could be because there are many final destination films and they may not always be able to afford to see every single one of these supernatural horror films.
