Synapse Productions and Touchstone Pictures

Synapse Productions

• Fictional production company that we think could be compared a company called Screen Gems who are an American movie production company and subsidiary company of Sony Pictures Entertainment's Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group.
• Synapse Productions would tend to produce films with more quirky and mature themes.

   Touchstone Pictures

• Part of the Walt Disney Motion Pictures group.
• We chose them as they tend to distribute films typically with more mature themes and darker tones than those usually distributed by Walt Disney.
• They also did a marketing scheme with the film 'I am number 4' in which they created an online treasure hunt that took you through and made you sign up to social networking site like facebook and twitter on which you had to find clue and solve riddles. I think this would be suitable for our film as it is largely based around computers and the treasure hunt style activity could be themed more to do with hacking.
