My area of investigation I will be talking about production companies through time and how
they have their own style which has made them recognisable and influenced how they tell
stories. From what I have researched I hope I can use this in in my final major project to
make my film stand out as being a recognisable style of film that people of a certain
audience will like.
I have chosen this area of investigation as not everyone knows these production companies
and I have an interest in them as I have watched a handful of these films from the 3
production companies I have looked at. All these companies have influenced the way they
tell stories which has made them recognisable among the film lovers.
From everything that Mosfilms has given to us I can see how they want to tell these stories.
They want to tell it as an art form whether it’s fictional or not. I have seen a broad range of
Mosfilms which I can say are all slightly different from each other but something they have
in common is telling a strong meaningful story.
In conclusion after looking and researching about these different production companies
through time I have found that each of them are individual and unique in some way. Star
film company bringing new storytelling methods and techniques into early cinema to
Mosfilms giving the soviet filmmakers opportunities to tell a story in an art form and A24
giving freedom to the directors/creators to make films you wouldn’t usually see which
combines and tell stories which are unique. They have improved over time as each of them
have influenced new opportunities and styles which all wouldn’t happen if it wasn’t for Star
film Company. Each Company does seem to have their own target audience and immersive
themselves in great storytelling whether it being early cinema classics, arthouse films or
independent stories. This will help me in my final major project to understand the type of
film I want to make. It has slightly influenced my decision of what I may want to do for the
final. Possibly something unique that people haven't seen shown in an arthouse form that
captivates the audience. I also might use different editing techniques to tell a story without
shoving a load of information at them at once.
