Examples of production companies
THIS IS OUR PRODUCTION COMPANY, THIS SHORT CLIP IS EFFECTIVE BECAUSE OUR PRODUCTION NAME IS HANGING HOUSE HORROR THE FIRST THING THE AUDIENCE WILL SEE IS A SCARY HOUSE WHICH CLEARLY REPRESENTS OUR PRODUCTION COMPANY AND HORROR FILMS, WHICH IS WHAT OUR COMPANY MAKE. ALSO THE LOUD THUNDER SOUNDS ADD TO THE HORROR EFFECT BECAUSE THE THUNDER IS VERY LOUD AND SUDDEN AND THUNDER IS A CLASSIC HORROR FILM STEREOTYPE.
Twisted Pictures
The first example that we looked at was twisted pictures, the are best known for creating the SAW films and Texas Chainsaw, due to these films being so popular Twisted Pictures is one of the biggest production companies in the horror industry making top quality horror films at a low budget.
The image they have used is very simple and dark, the logo is effective because it stands out from the black background which has connotations of power and mystery, the sound effects are used to affect the viewer with sudden explosion sounds and a sudden animation change which will shock and surprise the viewer.
The word 'Twisted' can mean dark and abnormal which fits in perfectly with the aim of their company as they are known for creating the most gruesome films.

Blumhouse Productions
blumhouse is an american film production company that produces micro and low-budget horror movies such as the paranormal activity, insidious, the purge, sinister and ouija franchises. their logo is a shot of a corner of a haunted house and "blumhouse productions" is on the walls in big and in a muggy dirty yellow colour. Also the short clip shows a haunted room with a floating chair; which clearly shows the idea of paranormal activity which is one of the franchises they are known for. also a door slams shut which is a classic haunted house scene and there is also a little girl that looks very demonic which is also a very sterotypical horror character. all of this parts of the clip clearly represent the idea of horror.
Ghost house pictures
ghost house productions is an american horror movie production company that has produced films such as the messengers, the grudge and the possession. the logo is a ghostly skull face looking through the keyhole of an old wooden door; this is effective because skulls are related to death and in most horror films someone dies or has died. in the short clip we see the door slam shut, which is a classic horror film scene, then the ghostly skull face pop up in the keyhole, this is effective because the idea of a ghostly skull and a door slamming clearly represents horror so when the audience see this they know that ghost house pictures make horror films.
