Production Companies - planning distribution and promotion.

To look in to the kind of production company that would promote our film, I looked at some famous thrillers and who produced them.

1. Inception. 

• Warner Bros. Pictures (presentation)
• Legendary Pictures (in association with)
• Syncopy

2. The Dark Knight

• Warner Bros. Pictures (presentation)
• Legendary Pictures (in association with)
• Syncopy
• DC Comics

3. Pulp Fiction 

• A Band Apart
• Jersey Films
• Miramax Films

4. Goodfellas

• Warner Bros. Pictures

5. Psycho

• Shamley Productions
  

A problem with this research is that GEARproductions (our company) is an independent company, and it is unlikely that we would team up with any of these companies as they are large corporations. However, it is a clear convention here that there is often multiple companies helping the production of a film: a production company, a distributor etc. This could be reflected when we create our own titles and we could credit more than one company.
