7. Blumhouse Productions- This company isn’t well known because, I have asked a lot of
people all ages and the haven’t heard of them. This suggests that they do not produce all
different kinds of movies, for example they haven’t produced any comedies that is well
known or has been in the cinema. They many produce horror films and only a certain
types of people will go to see them. It’s not for everyone.
Walt Disney Pictures- This company is another house hold name because it has been
around for so long that every generation will have seen a movie by them. The only
problem with this that they mainly make children’s, but people say “your never to old for
a Disney movie” which suggest that the films that they make are just so entertaining that
everyone can watch them. Also everyone has grown up with these movie’s which suggest
that the movies could mean more to them because it reminds them of their child hood.
This is what makes the company so well known.

8. The obvious difference is the budget it’s self. By having a bigger budget, this means that the
money will be spent on well known/ award winning/ professional team for a movie. For
example from Pirates of the Caribbean the actors in the film are well know eg. Johnny Depp
and Kira Knightley. To have actors like this you have to pay a lot of money to get them to do
it. Also the production and quality will be better because they can have better equipment.
While the Low budget they aren’t as well known. For example I don’t the audience knows
who katie featherston is.
But in terms of institutions normally if a film is a low budget the audience wouldn’t have
heard of the them, because they aren’t as big as the others. Also the film wouldn’t of gone
into the cinema for example Another Earth, nobody that I have asked has seen or heard of
this film and the budget of the movie was $150,000. However Paranormal activity is an
unusual one only because the institution that produced the film, made the film popular.
Normally a High budget film will put their film into the cinema’s because they can pay for it
while the Low budget can’t afford it because they don’t have enough money.

9. Both of the institutions that I have chosen both make a lot of
money.
Both institutions realise films regularly.
Both make entertaining movies
Both suit their audiences

10. Paramount Pictures:
Paranormal Activity
Paranormal Activity 2
Tooth Fairy
Paranormal Activity 3
Paranormal Activity 4
Sinister
Dark Skies
The Purge
Area 51
Insidious: Chapter 2
Some of these films were very successful for
example Paranormal Activity was popular
because it was one of the first films that were
like that, which attracted audiences from
teenagers and up. Also by it being distributed
by Paramount Pictures made it popular
because they produce entertaining films that
everyone likes.
Walt Disney Pictures:
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Bambi
Cinderella
Cool Running's
Toy Story
Narnia series
Tangled
Holes
WALL-E
These films were all very successful as well
because of the same reasons as Paramount
Pictures, but also because I think that they
have aimed at their target audience really well.
Also because each generation have seen these
that they make the next generation watch it
because it’s so good then they all fall in love
with the movie again.

11. Blumhouse Production produces mainly horror films. For example Sinister which is a horror
and Insidious which is also a horror.
Walt Disney Pictures is mainly children’s movies. For example Toy story which is children’s
and a animation, Cinderella which is also a children’s and an animation, and Holes which is
a children’s movie.
Finding out what genre institutions produce is important when considering who you would
like to produce your movie because if you are making a children’s film then the institution
which would be suitable for you would be Walt Disney Pictures, because that’s what
normally what movie they like to produce. However you wouldn’t go to Blumhouse
productions because all the films that they make are scary films, so your children’s film
wouldn’t do very well because you picked the wrong institution.

12. Blumhouse Production audience is mainly for people that like watching horrors, but
also the teenage population like the watch these kind of films because it gives them a
sense of safe danger. This is reflected through their film choice because they pick one
type of film which are the same genres and the same audience guide.
Walt Disney Pictures audience that they appeal to is children because of the movies
they make. For example they may make film with different genres but most of them will
be a PG so their target audience can watch it. The films that they produce do not have
any strong language so children can watch it. They don’t have much gore in their films
so children can watch it. This is defiantly reflected through their film choice because
most of them are animation and the same audience guide.

13. Overall I think that Walt Disney Pictures is better because it has been going for longer,
which shows dedication and a lot of work to keep it going for that period of time. It
makes movies for everyone, which means they produce movies that everyone can
watch. They have created films that everyone will know and enjoy which shows that
their films are just that good. This shows that they are a lot more versatile because
they can do more than one things.
