Example Institutional Information (for Analytical Task)


1. Research your film’s production company (i.e Warner Brothers, Paramount etc)
2. Explain how the institution has an impact on the promotion of your film (genre, budget, stars, etc)

Example paragraphs:
Shutter Island was produced by Paramount Pictures (they also produced The Lovely Bones, Iron Man 2, How To Train Your Dragon, Paranormal Activity). Paramount Pictures are part of a larger conglomerate called the Paramount Motion Pictures Group (World’s oldest film studio and a subsidiary of Viacom). They are a mainstream company appealing to the mass public with popular genres, well-known stars and big budgets.

Paramount Pictures promoted Shutter Island mainly through posters, trailers and the website. However the biggest reason for its success has been linked to its TV advertising campaign. Trailers we shown during the US Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics. The exposure the movie got with its advertising campaign during the popular Winter Olympics broadcasts was, according to The New York Times, a big reason for its success at the box-office in its opening weekend.
