How much money was made from

5. My big fat Greek wedding production companies are; HBO
Films, Gold circle Films and Playtone. These production
companies are well known and a popular choice of
production film companies.
Paranormal activity film production is Paramount Pictures.
Paramount pictures is ranked one of the largest film studios.
This would be a well know production company.
How well known are the production
companies for both the high-budget and
low-budget film?
6. The differences between a high and low budget film is the
amount of profit they made out of the film, the amount of viewers
that watched the film and the amount of money that was put into
making the film. Each film was different and one being a horror
and one being a comedy this shows two different genres. In this
case the comedy film made a lot more profit. Both of the films
have different production companies.
List the differences between the high-
budget film and the low-budget film in
terms of the institutions.
7. The similarities between both of the films would be that they
are both suitable for the viewers, people wouldn’t get bored of
watching the film. It will entertain them.
List any similarities that exist between
the high-budget film and the low-budget
film in terms of the institutions.
8. HBO Films also produced a film called ‘How to make it in
America’ This was a successful film and made a lot of profit
from the film.
Paranormal productions are a small production company
that only film the genres comedy, ski fi, and horror. As this
company only does certain genres they wont be as
successful as the others.
What other films has the production
company made? Were these as
successful? Why/why not
9. HBO Films usually do comedy films and a very successful
company for this. Each film that has had HBO films are a
production company has come out with a lot of profit on
the film.
Paranormal Productions produce films for the genre ski-fi,
Comedy, and horror. Although they produce a lot more films
not all of them are as successful as other film production
companies.
What genre of films does the company usually
produce? Is this important when considering
who could produce your film? Why?
10. I think each of the films are being made for 15+ this is
because each film has an adult nature and theme.
Depending on the comedy films and what scenes are in
each one would depend on who the audience was for. Both
of the films I have chosen are more for adults, and a lot
more adults would be appealed to this films.
What audiences do each of the institutions aim
to appeal to? Is this reflected through their
film choice, or does this vary?
11. I think that HBO Films are a lot more successful when they
produce films as each film that they have produced has
made a lot of profit. As the films they produce are normally
comedy it would take a while for them to produce and put
together, so for the amount of time that they put into the
film, this makes a lot of profit compared to paranormal
production.
Which institution do you feel outperforms the other
and could claim to be more successful, considering
your research? Explain your reasons.
