Deconstruction of Lionsgate production company

Lionsgate is a Canadian-American entertainment company founded Vancouver, British Columbia on July 3rd 1997 with their headquarters in Santa Monica, California. They're the seventh most profitable movie studio in the world. Lionsgate Films aren't to be confused with Robert Altman's former company "Lion's Gate Films" although both companies are named after the Lion's Gate bridge in Vancouver. Lionsgate are best known for their films such as the Saw franchise, the Hunger Games films and the famous Texas Chainsaw 3D.

The first shot of the Lionsgate ident is of a large group of clockwork cogs working. This is the companies "cogs whirring". as the camera takes the audience over the top of the cogs and the tracks backwards, we get a view of this vast "room" filled with gears working away.

As the camera tracks backwards even further, the audience travels backwards out of a keyhole. This effectively symbolises the thought that Lionsgate put into their work unlocks a doorway to another place

This "other place" that Lionsgate unlocks the door to is seemingly a heavenly place represented by the bright light that shines through as the grand looking doors gradually swing open.

When the doors are finally open, we see the Lionsgate logo amongst silver-lined clouds suggesting that this other world is a world of dreams which they have created with their well thought and produced films.
