The importance of the production companies

The production company is responsible for fund raising, budgeting, scheduling and scripting for a film. They are also in charge of casting and finding a suitable director as well as being the suppliers of all the resources needed for both on screen and off throughout the entire production.
The production companies are also heavily involved in the post-production, distribution, and marketing of a film. They are also responsible to respond when things go wrong, for example, if a set has been damaged they are expected to resolve these types of problems.

The difference between a major and an independent production companies

Independent production companies make films that do not use major studios like 20th Century Fox and Warner Brothers. Some independent films are only shown in a select number of cinemas however many people believe that independent production companies make films that are more creative and 'artistic' than major films because their audiences are neech. Independent companies are not made for a specific audience as they want to try to attract anyone. Independent films also have a much smaller budgets than major production companies. 

Example's of major production companies:

All of the companies above have created action movies. For example:

20th Century Fox- Die hard

 Universal Studios - The fast and the furious 

Paramount Pictures- Lara Croft Tomb Raider

Relativity Media is another company which produced Fast and Furious, Smokin Aces and American Gangster

 Major production companies don't specify their logo for any genre as they are major companies and cover many genres not just action movies.

My Production logo

 The production logo I have designed is a massive element to my opening sequence.

I have chosen the palette  black, white and red in the logo. I have used this colour scheme because red represents blood, danger and power you expect to see in a action movie; the black and white used represent reality.

I have used veins of stone in the logo because stone is connoted as hard and solid -a lot like the people who appear in action movies. I made the picture appear to have motion as it helps indicate that the movie will be fast paced and non stopping with action. The motion reminds us of the veins in both the body and the stone.

I called the production company 'ADRENALINE' because the word it self is impacting and strong. The production company name is linked to the photo as the blood pumps faster (veins). I hope my audience feel adrenaline whilst watching the film and witnessing the fast paced, stunt packed gritty film.

I used an impacting font for all the writing on the production company because its bold and eye catching. The white writing attracts the eye instantly as there's a loud background.

I have used a specific theme for my action movie because it is an action movie based company.
