Institution Reaserch

20th Century Fox is a film corporation which is one of the 6 major American film studios. Some of the most successful films created by 20th Century Fox are: Avatar/ Star Wars/ Speed & The Chronicles of Narnia. The majority of popular and successful films that 20th Century Fox created are Comedy an Family genre films, for example: Alvin and the Chipmunks/ Doctor Do-little/ Night at the Museum and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. As I am producing a action film I have to research weather 20th Century Fox would be a suitable Institution to Produce my film with. Although 20th Century Fox prefer to make Comedy/ Fantasy and Family films because the seem to be the most profitable films. When it comes to Action films, 20th Century Fox prefers to distribute them rather than produce them, so if I was to pick 20th Century Fox as the best intuitions for my film I would get them to distribute my action film worldwide.

Warner Bros is another one of the main film studios based in California and New York. Warner Bros Is a global leader in the creation, production, distribution, licensing and marketing of all forms of creative content and their related businesses, across all current and emerging media and platforms. Some of the most popular films created by Warner Bros Fox are: Harry Potter(Producers & Distributors), Valentine’s Day(Distributers), Sex and the City(Distributers), The Hangover(Producers & Distributers), The Dark Knight(Producers & Distributors) and Slumdog Millionaire(Distributors). Warner Bros Produce and Distribute a variety of films in different genres, from Comedy, Romance, Fantasy, Adventure, Action and Horror. Warner Bros are dedicated to producing a variety of films to suit different type of audience and in my case most of my favorite film have been made my Warner Bros. To help me with my research on what institution would suit best to create my Action film I have to research what horror films Warner Bros have created and weather they were successful or not. 20th Century Fox like to mainly focus on the same genre films that give them more success (Comedy/Fantasy/Family) on the other hand Warner Bros Like to experiment with different genres and attract a wider variety of viewers. The list of well-known film Warner Bros has produced and distributed is much longer than the 20th Century Fox list, which means if I was to choose between the two on which would be more suitable to produce and distribute my film with is Warner Bros as they have more experience with action Genre which means they would make better success out of my film.

  Universal Pictures also called Universal Studios one of the six major movie studios. Universal Pictures creates and distributes theatrical and non-theatrical filmed entertainment. Universal has achieved both popular success and its recent Academy Award winners: Atonement, The Bourne Ultimatum, King Kong, Brokeback Mountain, Ray, A Beautiful Mind, The Pianist, and Lost in Translation. Like 20th Century Fox, Universal Picture prefer to create films focus on Drama, Romance and Adventure, such as the films listed above. The reason most of their films are based around this genre is because those genre films are their most successful and they prefer not to risk creating other genres out of their comfort zone and for than film to them fail. After doing that background research I now need to research what Universal Pictures is like when making action film. I need to know weather they have made many successful action films or is it one of their weaker points. If I was to choose which institution out of the ones I have researched (20th Century Fox / Warner Bros & Universal Pictures) would be more suitable and experience to produce and distribute my action film is still Warner Bros.
