Institution Research:

For my institution research, I looked at films that are similar to mine and help influence me to make certain aspects of my film. The Taken films were distributed by 20^th Century Fox, this is only one film out of many that have been distributed by them, for me I saw a lot of action films made by them which links into my genre nicely. The first Taken film was produced by M6 Films, Canal+ and TPS Star.

Another film that I was looking closely at was Hush which was released in 2008, a British horror/ thriller which had a similar storyline to my own. The film is directed by former BBC Radio 1 DJ, Mark Tonderai, and stars William Ash and Christine Bottomley. The film was produced by Warp X, UK Film Council and Film4 who supplied the funding for the film. The film was distributed by Optimum Releasing.  However Hush was distributed by Optimum releasing which is a film distributing company working in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The company releases many films, including foreign language films, anime releases such as Studio Ghibli's films, and independent British, Irish, and American films in the United Kingdom and sometimes Ireland.

Even though these are the two institutions iv looked at for the two films that relate well to my film, I also have a variety of production companies to choose from, which for me is beneficial, as when I create my film I am able to see what would suit it better as in the process of creating/ planning my film little things may change, but despite this at the moment I believe that I am most likely to choose 20^th Century Fox as it is targeted many films such as my own.

I need to choose one that relates well to my film as for example if I chose Buena Vista Pictures it wouldn't make sense as firstly it no longer exists and secondly all their films was targeted towards children, just like Walt Disney Pictures who have now taken over.
