Thriller Production Research
In order to complete this research task, we had to research the production of two very differently produced films. One high profile, expensively produced Hollywood film and the other, a low budget British Indie film, in order to see a comparison between the amount of money spent on a film and the quality of the end product.
There were 10 different productions features that we had to research into for each movie and they were:
- Producer
- Director and Screenwriter
- Production company
- Original property
- Cast
- Budget
- The trailer (then embed it)
- Genre
- Key Crew
- Production features
For my analysis of a Hollywood film, I chose ‘The Girl on the Train’, a newly released Hollywood thriller as I was very interested to see the budget of this new blockbuster and who was involved in the making of it. Then for the Indie film, I researched the independent film ‘Denial‘, interested in the Key production features that they managed to include and how much could go into this film on a lower budget.
My research of the production features of the two films are linked to their corresponding movie posters above.
