Production Company

A production company is key in the making of a film, as it can carry conventions of what to expect from a film under that company and acts as an investor for a film, allowing the producers and directors to have a larger budget. We have looked at some production companies to find one appropriate for our film.

Lionsgate are the production company for films including Reservoir Dogs, Total Recall and Young Guns. These films are of the same or a similar genre to ours, making Lionsgate an ideal production company for Arcane.

Universal Pictures are another production company which we thought would relate to Arcane. Films which have used this particular production company include The Boxer, The Fast and Furious, The Bourne series and Smokin' Aces. 

The final production company we looked at are 20th Century Fox. Films include Die Hard, Speed and The Day After Tomorrow. These once again relate to our genre, although 20th Century Fox are associated with a wide variety of genres, with other films including Notting Hill, Castaway and Ice Age. This may make it unsuitable for our use.

Instead of using Lionsgate, Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox, we thought we should create and design our own production company that ultimately sets the physical basis for our film trailer.
Our production company has been called 'City Productions'. By looking at the background image, which displays the London Eye, the viewer automatically knows that this is a British based company. It is a 2 second clip showing the Ferry entering the still shot. Editing the footage to Black and White gives the overall image a 'Traditional' and very 'British' look. We placed a 'Ripple' transition after the two second clip to create a smoother change-over.
