Institutional information - example

This example should help you with the opening section of your Assignment 2 Analytical Task - institutional information:

Shutter Island was produced by Paramount Pictures (they also produced The Lovely Bones, Iron Man 2, How To Train Your Dragon, Paranormal Activity and more). Paramount Pictures are part of a larger conglomerate called the Paramount Motion Pictures Group (the world’s oldest film studio and a subsidiary of Viacom). They are a mainstream company appealing to mass audiences 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 were 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.
