Chosen Production Company- Lionsgate
- Why would your company want to make your film?
2. Similar Films to Yours?
Although Lionsgate have produced many films that match the similar thriller with horror elements that our film would fit in, films like '127 Hours' and 'The Descent' also posses the claustrophobic atmosphere that we wish our film to have. However, the film 'Buried' is very similar to ours, which could offer an opportunity to link the films, as the ending of the original film left space for an anticipated sequel.
3. How Would Your Film Fit Into the Ethos of the Company?
Lionsgate's occupation with 'The Hunger Games' would provide an appropriate place for our film in the ethos of the company. Being one of the most popular film series ever and one of the most anticipated films in the upcoming future, we would have to appreciate that we would be overshadowed by the big budget epic. However, once we had accepted that our film would not be as popular as other movies coming out in the future, we would be able to fit in the lower budget movies, which still uphold a high quality and entertainment value.

4. How Would You Place Your Product?
We would need to be strategic in the way we chose to advertise our product. We would not want to try and compete with other epic movies from other studios such as 'Warner Bros'. Instead, we would want to focus on the larger cinemas with more screens, to give us the opportunity to show on the later screenings, when most people would be watching movies. We would also need to advertise on the Lionsgate website, and maybe try to branch out to other websites, such as social networking websites, or other websites that would have an audience consisting mainly of young adults and teenagers.
5.Do They Specialize In Your Type of Film?
Lionsgate have made many thrillers with elements of horror mixed in, however, the reason I feel Lionsgate are more specialized in our type of movie are the array of claustrophobic thrillers, such as 'Buried' and 'The Descent'. By having this advantage of making similar films, Lionsgate would have had experience in distributing and producing that kind of film, with the best quality and most effective results due to the past experience.
