The document summarizes the major Hollywood film studios. It discusses how there were originally eight studios that dominated the industry during the Golden Age of Hollywood under the studio system. This system was challenged in 1948 and production was separated from distribution and exhibition. Today, the six major studios are Sony, Warner Bros., Disney, Viacom (Paramount), News Corp. (Fox), and Lionsgate. The "mini-major" studios with significant market share and production include Universal, DreamWorks, and The Weinstein Company. The document provides details on the parent companies and subsidiaries of each major studio.
The document provides information on three production companies involved in the Ted movie - Universal Studios, Media Rights Capital, and Fuzzy Door Productions. Universal Studios is a major Hollywood studio founded in 1912 that has produced many successful films. Media Rights Capital is an independent studio founded by Mordecai Wiczyk and Asif Satchu that specializes in premium content. Fuzzy Door Productions is the production company of Seth MacFarlane and has produced his animated shows.
The document evaluates potential media institutions to distribute a film. Film4 is discussed as a suitable option as it produces a variety of genres, including thrillers, and would get the film recognized in the UK. Metradome is also mentioned as a realistic option for up-and-coming producers as it produces films in a cost-effective manner across all genres. Hammer Films, based in London with US distribution ties, could benefit the film given its history of popular horror films and international distribution. However, distributing via social media or targeting specific audiences through unconventional advertising may also be considered.

Hammer Films, based in London with US distribution ties, could benefit the film given its history of popular horror films and international distribution. However, distributing via Lions Gate may be difficult given the film's low budget. Hammer Films and online distribution are also mentioned as potential options.
An institution is a company that can distribute media products to the public. The document examines distribution companies in the horror genre, including AMC (The Walking Dead), Columbia Pictures (Zombieland), and Universal Pictures (Shaun of the Dead). Film 4 Productions is identified as a good potential distributor as it specializes in smaller, independent films rather than large studio productions. The conclusion is that Film 4 would be a good choice to distribute an amateur horror film due to its focus on suspenseful films in that style.

2. Our OpeningTitle Sequence.
Our film genre is a psychological-horror based on film which is about three college students, the two best friends living together in a rented
apartment. However, one of the students in the college figured out that there was a person that were using the strange ‘notebook’ that killed people
off in seconds, by writing their names in the notebook. Jenny took this chance to write the names off of criminals that she thought they ‘ruined this
peaceful world’ and thinking this was a good thing to do because she wanted to be the Queen of the Earth, with no crimes. However, that one
student knew this was not okay and took the chance to kidnap her closest person- which was her best friend Kelly- then threatened Jenny to ‘bring
the book or she would kill her friend’. The frightened Jenny looked over at the notebook in wonder of what to do and gave the book back to get her
best friend back. This story was based off of the inspiration by the Japanese comic/manga ‘Death Note’, it also have TV Series and Film Series.

3. We have created our own film company that goes by the name ‘YRS Entertainment’ or ‘YRS Productions’. As
we last time referred about this back in our film pitch presentation
(can be viewed on: https://foundationportfolioinmediabyya.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/film-pitch-presentation-
video.html ). We used this opportunity to explore and experience on how it would be like to create your own
film company, this means that we could use our own unique way of editing, shooting and storyline through
the use of a comic story based (since our storyline was based off of a Japanese comic manga called ‘Death
Note’). We thought this would be a cool thing to start off with a story idea because all the members in our
group had an interest in Japanese cultures and their art styles are very unique that we thought teenagers or
young adults would of liked it as well. However, not only we research on these type of genre but also focused
onto the American horror films. The examples of films that I could give would be The Boy (2016), The Blair
Witch Project (1999) and The Conjuring (2013); these films gave us the idea of the kidnapping scene which we
conduct this to best friends being separated from each other. In other words, the experience of creating our
own film company was, so far, very enjoyable and challenging for us since we had hard times of thinking of a
logo to create, what our film genre would be like and how are we able to send this to box-offices.
Our own Film Entertainment/Production.
4. There may be many examples of both American, British and even some Japanese film companies/productions that
have the choices to distribute throughout our group’s opening title sequence. However, we took the decision to
make our own film company instead and have a distributor that already exists. However, the following slides will be
about different film companies or cooparations as we mention these because it helped me with making a decision on
who should distribute our film sequence as we have our own film company as our base.
