Activity One:

US films
Horror film one: "The Devil Inside"
Production company: Paramount Pictures http://www.paramount.com/

Paramount Pictures makes a variety films, from family to horrors. Some of it's films include "Hugo" and "Star Trek". The logo is a mountain, reflecting it's name "mount", showing that it's films are high class and epic, they're of a big scale- like a mountain.

Horror film two: "Prometheus"
Production company: Mutant Enemy Productions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_Enemy_Productions

Mutant Enemy mainly makes T.V programs such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". From the logo we can see that they make mutant programs and productions because of the monster on the logo.

UK films:

Horror film one: "The Awakening"

Production company: BBC Films, StudioCanal UK, Creative Scotland

http://www.studiocanal.co.uk/

This logo does not indicate that it makes horror films, it's very simple and professional which indicates a range of films to not favour a particular genre.

Horror film two: "The Descent"

Production company: Celador films, Northmen production

There is no logo for these production companies.

Celador films makes a range of films from action to horror but they also make T.V productions.

The budget for "The Descent" is very low at only £3.5 million.
