Institutions for thrillers

There are many institutions in which films are produced some of the more well known ones are insitutions such as warner bros,working title and universal pictures. For our film we would like a sustainable budget for important effects and well known actors to bring star quality to the film. An institute i feel does this well and has lots of experience in creating thrillers is universal pictures.




UNIVERSAL PICTURES

The company is international therefore being able to distribute the film in several countries. It has created many thrillers and is involved with alot of companies owning part ownership to other such as some of the hitchcock films including physco. It has universal studios where alot of film work is displayed . It has produced many thrillers such as angels and demons, beautiful mind, war of the worlds and the italian job. It was one of the first major conglamorates to use CGI and 3D and will be effective for creating a good quality picture for our thriller.

With further research into the institutions of our film we have decided that we do not need as bigger budget as universal studios presents. We looked into the budget of a similar film,layer cake which had a budget of £4 million. This would effectively be about the same as what we would need as we dont need many stars, one would be enough to bring in star quality we dont need many special effects and do not to film abroad or have the same setup as some of universals films. A larger budget will not nesscarily make our film better we need a realistic amount to be able to gain profit with the material we have. Compared to the £76 million pound budget of Angels and Demons. Layer cake was made by a small institution called columbia pictures which sony pictures owns. A british institution we found that can effectively produce and advertise our film in the uk and possibly internationally with a reasonable budget of around £5 million is Miramax pictures.

Brassed off was co produced with film four and miramax pictures we are planning to do the same with our film. Film four had its own channel and does many production features with film four so alot of publicity and promotion can come from this institution. Miramax has the ablilty to produce the film without too many restrictions and a viable budget,income and profit.
