Film Institutions

'20th Century Fox'

20th Century fox is one of the six biggest institutions in American film studios. The dramatic music and animation leaves the audience anticipated before the movie has begun. The company was found in May 1931, so it is more modern than the other institutions below. The movies that are involved in 20th century fox are:
- Cheaper by the Dozen
- Family Guy
- Die Hard
- Home Alone
- Alvin and the Chipmunks
As you can see this institutions is mostly relatable to comedy movies which would not be the right choice with the genre we have chosen as both would not connect with each other. Although 20th century fox is a popular institutions, I believe that it is not relatable to the opening of our movie,

'Paramount'

Paramount pictures is a large and very recognisable institution. It is a television and movie production company and has been around since the 1912. It is the best existing studio and is still commonly used today even though it is considered to be the oldest institution around. Paramount has been used for successful and famous movies such as:
- Forrest Gump
- Paranormal Activity 4
- Katy Perry- Part of me
- The Devil Inside
- Hugo
- Thor
This institution seems like a good choice because when I was researching psychological thrillers, which is what our opening is based on, I had realised that paramount was a popular choice as all the other institutions were mostly based on animated and happy films, it did not create the mood that you would hope for in an opening of a horror psychological film. There has been a discussions amongst our group. I and Laura have decided that paramount was the best institution for our opening however Ashleigh disagreed and believed Universal was the best choice as it is professional and popular. We will reflect on this and come to a decisions.

'Universal Studios'

Universal Studios (which is also known as universal pictures) is an American motion pictures. It was founded in 1912 and is the oldest institution in America. It is the most popular institution amongst all the other institutions. This was a favourite in our group as this institution seemed like the most recognisable and most professional in our opening. The following films that Universal is connected with is:

- Bring it on

- The mummy

- The skills

- The things

- Nanny McPhee

- Despicable Me

However we have a split decision on why we should Universal and looked at the Pros and Cons, we did our research on Universal and had realised what partnership Universal had with other institutions and what genre it was common with.
