Paramount Pictures is often associated with films such as "No Strings Attached" which is a rom-com, "I Love You, Man" which is a comedy and the up and coming "Hugo" which is a family film. Although it seems to be associated with quite light hearted films, Paramount also has films such as "Paranormal Activity 3" and "What lies beneath" which is a thriller. Dispite this, if someone was to ask me what kind of films Paramount are associated with, I would have said Rom-coms or comedy films rather than thrillers. Our group will probably not use Paramount as our institution as we would like something more horror/thriller based. Last year in our AS coursework we used Paramount for our Rom-Com film opening so this would not be very appropriate for our coursework this year.
Hammer Films are famous for horror/gothic films and is most recognised for their production of "Dracula" and "The Woman in Black". This could be a good company to consider for our production because we are creating a thriller/horror. However, this institution seem to be more pushed towards the horror genre and we should probably look more towards some thriller based company as this is what our film is mostly. If we was going to be making an old style black and white horror, this company would be ideal.
This company seem to produce more thriller based films and their website opens with a slide show of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" , "Johnny English Reborn" and "Senna". These are all thrillers of some kind which makes this institution will probably be more suitable for our film than the other two.
