Production Company Research

Hammer - Simon Oakes

 Legendary horror brand Hammer hadn’t released a feature for over 30 years until it became part of Guy East and Nigel Sinclair’s Exclusive Media in 2008. Now, after years of false starts, it’s enjoying huge success with its ‘smart horror’ output, most notably 2012’s Daniel Radcliffe starring The Woman in Black which has taken over $125m worldwide. Follow up The Woman in Black: Angels of Death is now in the pipeline, as well as features The Quiet Ones, Boneshaker and Gaslight. It’s diversified too, launching a publishing imprint through Random House and plans a Hammer Theatre of Horror. Credits: Let Me In, Wake Wood, the Resident, the Woman in Black

Hammer Productions was first produced in 1934, but it wasn’t until the mid-1950 that they started to produce good works. During its most successful years, Hammer dominated the horror film market, enjoying worldwide distribution and considerable financial success. This success was due, in part, to distribution partnerships with major United States studios, such as Warner Bros.

In the mid 1980’s the company ceased but was then bought by a consortium group in 2000.  The company announced plans to begin making films again after this, but none were produced.

In 2007 the company was sold again and plans were announced to spend over $25 million on horror movies.

Carnival

Carnival has an outstanding reputation for creating work of the highest calibre over the past 35 years. Its critically acclaimed work has been broadcast around the world, garnering over 200 award wins and nominations, including Emmys, Golden Globes, BAFTAs, Oscars and TONYs. Founded in 1978, Carnival Films has produced many hundreds of hours of popular drama both in the UK and US, including primetime series such as Poirot, Hotel Babylon, Whitechapel, Dracula and The Philanthropist.

Viral Marketing

In this presentation I have discussed different ways that viral marketing can have an impact on Films and I have also described what viral marketing and an example of a time when it has been used in film making in an effective way

Product Placement

   Teaser trailers are made usually by a montage of shots. Trailers consist of a series selected shots from the film being advertised. Since the purpose of the trailer is to attract an audience to the film, these excerpts are usually drawn from the most exciting, funny, or otherwise noteworthy parts of the film but in abbreviated form and usually without producing spoilers. For this purpose the scenes are not necessarily in the order in which they appear in the film. A trailer has to achieve that in less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the maximum length allowed by the MPAA. Each studio or distributor is allowed to exceed this time limit once a year, if they feel it is necessary for a particular film.
