Production And Distribution Companies
A production company might be directly responsible for the fundraising for the production or it may be accomplished by a parent company. It handles budgeting, scheduling, scripting, the supply with talent and resources, the organisation of staff, the production itself, post production, distribution and marketing.
The distribution company is usually different from the production company. The distribution deals are very important in terms of financing a film. The distributor might set the release date and decide which method of viewing the film has. For example, the film may be available directly to the public through cinemas or for home viewing on DVD or TV.
There are many production and distribution companies within film making. Many of them are known to be associated with a specific genre of film. I have done some research into what production companies are known to be involved with the thriller genre. Firstly, I researched some films and noted down the common production companies. The first company I researched was 20th Century Fox as they produced films such as Taken 3, Gone Girl and Poltergeist (2015). The second production company I researched was Warner Bros who have in the past made films such as Inception, The Prestige and Godzilla. Another production company was CBS Films who have made thriller films such as The Woman In Black, Afflicted and The Last Exorcism Part II. The final production company I researched into was Spyglass Entertainment who produced films such as Instinct, The Sixth Sense and The Insider.
All of these production companies above are involved within the thriller genre as they have each produced a number of successful thriller based films.

Audiences Who Are Attracted To The Thriller Genre
The thriller genre attracts many different audiences through the films that are made. I decided to research into the types of people that watch thriller movies and what the target audiences are for some of them. Firstly, I researched the type of people that watched the movie Shutter Island:
I found that the usual audience for the thriller genre based on one of the films, Shutter Island, were males between the ages 25-39. This means the people making the thriller films would have to take this into consideration to ensure the film is successful. It is very important for a film to be aimed at a certain type of people and demographic for it to be successful as if enough research is carried out, the film should be ideal for the audience and they will enjoy it which is the aim for films to bring the audience pleasure.

In the opening credits of The Hunger Games, Mocking Jay film it displays the production companies, after this they show us the opening credits in the following order:

The order of which names appear is similar in both of the above opening sequences. They both begin with the names of producers and other people who were involved with the making of the film. They both then give the names of the actors in the film and then give other names of people such as the 'director of photography'. The titles seem to appear in order of authority. A difference in the two opening sequences is that the name of the film spears at different times. In Shutter island the name of the film appears last whereas the Hunger Games Mocking Jay appears in the middle of the opening sequence as the 14th title out of 23.
