I have personally chosen to research Universal Studios as it's a huge production/distrubution company. I have recently watched various movies which have been linked with Universal Studios most memorable one will be Inglorious Basterds. Which was directed by my favourite director Quentin Tarantino, as they have a god reputation they have the capability to produce world class movies.

Universal Studios, a subsidiary of NBC Universal, is one of the six big movie production. Its main motion picture production/distribution arm is called Universal Pictures.
In 1945, the British entrepreneur J.Arthur Rank, hoping to expand his American presence, bought into a four-way merger with Universal, the independent company International Pictures, and producer Kenneth Young. The new combine, United World Pictures, was a failure and was dissolved within one year. Rank and International remained interested in Universal, however, culminating in the studio's reorganization as Universal-International.

These are some of the titles of which they have distributed in the years 2009

The Unborn
Coraline
Duplicity
Fast & Furious State of Play
Drag Me to Hell
Land of the Lost

Funny People

  1. some good material here but you've got some gaps. You MUST - post an evaluation for your prelim; thriller genre characteristics; why you have chosen the production / distribution institution you did. Also evidence of audience research, findings and how you will use it. Get this done by next lesson.
