Production Company Research and Analysis


Dimension Films were the production company for the film "1408". The logo is very simple but effective. The blue colour is very striking and the 3D effect it has is very imaginative in that it's something people remember. It is much different to normal logos which are in 2D. The layout is very simple in that it is centred but it has a tilt to it, which is again different to other logos. As we can see from the following video, it's composition is very simple in that it zooms out with a fade in, although the string music at the end may show the type of film is could be.

From imdb.com, Dimension films have produced many films and a few that are in pre-production. Some films which have been popular and produced by Dimension are: Scream, Halloween, Scary Movie, Spy Kids & Sin City. The film that are in pre-production are: Devils Knot, Pirahna 3DD & The Black Marks.

Dimension Films is part of the Weinstein Company. It was formerly partenered with Miramax Films, but then departed in 2005. However, the company has many franchises such as Scary Movie, Spy Kids & Halloween. They are identified as a studio which focuses on the latter of horror films, but rarely leave that genre.


Here is the video for the full opening.







Spyglass Entertainment are the production company who made "Sixth Sense". The logo is much different to the previous one in that the photo represents the name of the production company. We can see a silhouetted man with a spyglass looking through with the sea behind him. From this iconic logo, it is very difficult to tell what kind of tone or theme the film will be as the production logo is the same all the time. The font is very simple and in white which contrasts with the plain black background. The actual intro starts very 3D in that we can see through the spyglass as it pans out to the photo of the man. In my opinion, it is one of my favourite logos for a production company because it has an interesting and imaginative look to it.

From imdb.com, Spyglass Entertainment have produced many films and a few that are in pre-production. Some films which have been popular and produced by Spyglass are: The Sixth Sense, Legend of Zorro, Star Trek, GI Joe & The Tourist. The film that are in pre-production are: Hansel & Gretel & Excalibur.

The company was formed in 1998. They make a wide range of films which attract all sorts of audiences, so there target audiences are anyone. Unlike other companies, they can make a lot more money as they focus on multiple genres instead of one or two. They are part of The Walt Disney Company and have taken over a certain amount of the bankrupt MGM Studios.

Gold Circle Film are the production company for "The Haunting in Connecticut". There logo also reflects the name of their production company. The font is very odd, as it's quite cramped up and hard to read at first. Also the "Films" part at the bottom is extremely hard to read, and could be larger. However, as the gold circle reflects the company, people could already know who they are. The gold black font with a gold outer glow is quite authentic and professional though, as it looks prestigious. As it is a very simplistic design with the ring and the writing centred, I find it very effective. The logo in an actual feature zooms in, which then shows the overall logo. It is quite simple, but effective as people don't know what is coming until the logo has been fully zoomed in. However, it does not appear to show what kind of theme the feature will be, as they use the same logo all the time.


From imdb.com, Gold Circle films have produced many films and a few that are in pre-production. Some films which have been popular and produced by Gold Circle are: The Fourth Kind, The Haunting in Connecticut & White Noise. The film that are in pre-production are: The Haunting in Georgia & The Duelist.

Gold Circle Films was founded in 2000, and is an independent American film company. It mainly focuses on the genres of horror & romance. Very popular films have been established from Gold Circle though considering they are a independent company, such as Haunting in Connecticut, White Noise, The Wedding Date & Fourth Kind.
