Production company research

Blumhouse Productions

Blumhouse Productions is an American film and television production company, founded by Jason Blum that specialise in making low budget horror films such as Insidious, The Purge, Paranormal Activity, Sinister and many more. The Blumhouse Production intro seems to be filmed with a handheld camera giving a 360 degree turn showing all the different features we may expect to see within a Blumhouse Production film, such as the paranormal aspect with the floating chair and the classic flickering light. The 360 degree turn alongside with the handheld camera lets the audience believe they are the person viewing everything that is happening. Blumhouse have included several codes and conventions of Horror within their production intro allowing for the full horror experience.

Twisted Pictures

Twisted Pictures is an independent American production company mainly focusing on creating horror films. Twisted productions was founded in 2004 by Evolution Entertainment's Mark Burg, Oren Koules and Gregg Hoffman. They are best known for producing the Saw film series. Twisted Pictures was formed after the box office success of Saw in 2004, which led to a nine-picture distribution deal with Lionsgate. The company went on to produce six sequels in the Saw film series. 

​To start with, the title is faded in and then straight after a lot of barbed wire starts spreading and weaving throughout the letters of the the title. After all of the wire has spread throughout the letters a stake quickly drops down into the middle of the barbed wire and starts spinning in a clockwise direction causing the wire to tighten around the letters. After it stops spinning in that direction, light, which seems to imitate lighting flashes a couple of times, which then starts the anti-clockwise spin of the stake, causing the barbed wire to loosen and be flung off of the screen then leaving 'scars' and scratches on the letters where the barbed wire just was.

Ghost House Productions

Ghost House Pictures is an American film production company that was founded in 2002 by Robert Tapert  and  Sam Raimi which usually co-produces films with Joe Drake and Nathan Kahane. They are in relation to films such as The Grudge, Poltergeist, The Shining and many more horror films.
In this production intro we start off by seeing a door shutting on its own which is a classic horror film 'must' as its a classic most people expect to see, especially in a paranormal style horror film which is what Ghost House specialise in, and relates to their name 'ghost'. We then take a first person perspective and look through the keyhole of the now shut door and see a skeleton appear fairly quickly giving that 'jump scare' feel. Another classic horror 'must' to give people the best fright.
