Conclution

After looking at three different Film Studios I can make my own opinion about them. And now I know which Industry I would choose when I am doing my own Thriller film. I would go with Warner Brothers because they can sell my film good and I know that many people would see it. I would know that because Warner is one of the most famous Film Studios and it’s always good if the audience like and know that the Industry which produced the film is good and famous.
