Institution Company

After researching into Institution companies I found that Paramount is often associated with films such as ‘The Godfather’ and ‘The Untouchables’ which are both Crime and Gangster films. Paramount is also associated with rather light hearted films such as the new film in cinemas now ‘Hugo’ and rom-coms such as ‘I Love You, Man’ which are rather family orientated. In my own opinion I would associate Paramount with rather light-hearted, innocent films therefore this may not be the best institution and I would like something a little more Crime and Gangster based  for our film yet it is still a possibility yet I will still do additional research. Last year in our AS film opening we used Columbia Pictures as it was relevant to the time era our film was set in therefore I will research further to see which institution company would be appropriate.

SKA films, formed by Guy Ritchie and Matthew Vaughn, is known for producing Gangster & Crime films and is recognised for films such as ‘Snatch’ and ‘Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’. This would be a really good company for us to consider for our production as we are creating this same genre. I also researched into institutions such as Screen Gems, Summit, MARV Films and Sony Picture Classics. I also found that Warner Brothers was considered the gangster studio par excellence when it came to early Gangster films.
