Institutions

When researching the genre of Reomantic Comedy I found that the main institutions that produced films of this genre were '20th Century Fox', 'Paramount' and 'Columbia Pictures', these are very big insitutues in film production, so a large amount of money is put forward in the producing and filming. I will use a well known and big production name in my opening title sequence, so the audience will know that a lot of effort has gone into the making of the film and that it shall be a very successful film.

Paramount Pictures is consistently the highest ranked production company, it has been producing and distributing films for many years and is also well known for it's television production.

The production company is owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment, in the opeming credits of the films the Sony symbol is shown before the image for 'Columbia Pictures' as it is the owner. They have produced a large range of Romantic Comdies, such as Just Go With It, The Ugly Truth, and The holiday all known as top grossing films shown in the past decade.


Also known as "Fox" and "20th", it is one of the most well known production disturbuter of all time and is very popular in the filiming industry. Fox was founded in May 1935, and has the biggest film franchises. Like Paramount Pictures it is based in LA, but also own many other film studios over America. This film company has a very iconic theme song, which makes "Fox" very well known which adds to the audience instantly knowing what production company it is. Some Romantic Comedies they have
