Chasing Shadows - institutional detail

The film company we have chosen to produce our film is Hammer film Production

we have chosen this for some particular reasons 

• hammer film productions is a British based production company they work specifically with British films and take an interest in horror films.
• They are known for Gothic horrors and also since fictions and thrillers which is what we are looking for as our film is more of a thriller than it is horror but it is better to invest in a horror interested production company as we are more likely to be successful
• our film is a small independent film. our budget would be small as it is a physiological thriller film which does not require many special effects. 
• they have already made 295 films and have made some very famous films like 

these films had a reasonable budget and turned out to be
huge successes.

The Woman in Black 

Dracula

As our distributors we have chosen Arrow Films 

This is for the following reasons

• They are also known for their investment in horror and thrillers. 
• they are a smaller distributing company so they may take an interest in our film 
• their resent distribution was The Bridge which will soon be on Blue ray 
• They release many of their films on blue ray and this is good as if the film is successful they can put it on shelves for the public to buy

Our film wont really have any merchandise as it is a low budget film and it will be hard for a huge company like toy companies or book stores to invest in us. Also it is quite uncommon for horror films to make toys or merchandises.

Our target Audience is obviously teenagers as it is what is in our coursework brief. However we could say that there is a age restriction making it a 15 film as it contains scenes of psychological horror and scenes that may be upsetting to a younger audience. The film would also appeal to a more older audience as it is about school so it is quite fascinating and nostalgic. Our film will appeal to teenagers as it will contain music that is relevant to the modern generation and it is based in school so the younger generation will be able to relate to is as well find it thrilling.
