Media Institutions - Paramount Pictures

Media Institutions - Paramount Pictures

Paramount Pictures were founded in 1912, being the fourth oldest existing film studio. Founded by Adolf Zukor, a Hungarian who was passionate about films started the company. It began as Famous Players and then developed into Famous Players Film Company. Later it became Paramount.  Zukor served as the president from 1912, when it was founded, to 1936. To date, Paramount Pictures is ranked as one of the Largest and top grossing movie studios.
Being based in America, Paramount Pictures were able to distribute their films to a larger audience. This meant that the films were seen on a larger scale and meant in the films being sent worldwide.
Paramount’s logo is a very recognisable logo. The logo was founded by W. W. Hodkinson in 1914 and was used until 1968. The logo was then changed to a print until the present day.
On February the 6th 2011, Paramount Pictures closed a deal to purchase Dreamworks SKG (which was founded by the co-founder of Paramount Pictures – Jeffrey Katzenberg).
Both MTV and Nickelodeon Films are owned by Paramount Pictures which are both multimillion dollar companies.
I feel that our thriller should be distributed by Paramount Pictures because of their amount of thrillers distributed. They seem like the institution to use and would mean that our thriller is distributed worldwide.

  1. Matthew - you need to develop your blog. You are working really hard on your production and need to show the same dedication to the research and planning. At the moment this is: L2 - D.

    You need to change the fontsize on the latest few posts as it is too small to read.

    You need to include a location and props list and images, a sound plan, the storyboard, shooting schedule for filming, any changes that you agreed as a group.
