Choosing a Production Company

 In making a movie, the production company is a driving force in the production stage of the film as it provides the basis of the film, for example, choosing which actors and directors are hired, setting the budget, providing funds, etc. When choosing a production company it is important to choose one that specializes in your genre of film and works within your range of financing so that your film's needs can be met.  It is important when choosing a production company to research what films they have made before to see where they specialize and how good the movies they have made turned out, and also to make sure it fits the style of film you want to make. For our film we have chosen Blumhouse Productions as our production company, because they specialize in making creepier films and also do lower budget films as well. They have also done some thriller films that I have analyzed in other posts, such as Get Out (2017) and Split (2016).

Films Produced by Blumhouse Productions

As you can see, Blumhouse Productions is very geared towards making any movies with a creepy feel, anywhere within the horror/thriller genre primarily. Based on this, they would be the best to choose due to their expertise in the genre. They also don't make insanely high budget movies. For example, Insidious: The Last Key (2018) had a total budget of 10 million USD, which is considered to be a fairly low budget film. However, the film grossed $67,745,330 total. They made a fairly large profit as they grossed almost 7 times the total budget, obviously showing it was a film that did very well. This fits well with our film idea, as

we plan on making a lower budget thriller film, which would be made easier with a production company specializing in that area. For example, a very good thriller film produced by Blumhouse Productions, Get Out (2017) had . total budget of 4.5 Million USD, a very low budget for a film of its standard, but it grossed  $252,434,250 worldwide, an absolutely astronomical amount compared to the total budget. For this reason, we feel Blumhouse Productions is best suitable to make our film.
