Media Institutions and Audiences

B:

Media Institutions are an organisation that provide media content and supply the context within which media products are produced e.g. the BBC or News international.
Also involved are Companies/Organisations which represent the process of production, distribution and marketing.
For example ‘20th Century Fox’ is an American film Production and involve everything of a Media Institution.

A:

I would use for our Thriller ‘Five’ the Hammer Film Production because it is one of the biggest British Film companies and based on thrillers. Also because they are really professional and if I would do a movie a want he to get popular and for that ‘Hammer’ is one of the best companies.
Hammer is founded in 1934. During the late 1960s and 1970s the saturation of the horror film market by competitors and the loss of American funding forced changes to the previously lucrative Hammer-formula, with varying degrees of success. The company eventually ceased production in the mid-1980s and since then has remained in effective hibernation. But in 2000 the studio announced plans to begin making films again after it was bought by a consortium including advertising executive and art collector Charles Saatchi, but no films have been produced. In May 2007, the company behind the movies was sold again, this time to a group headed by Big Brother creator John de Mol, the Dutch consortium Cyrte Investments, who have announced plans to spend some $50m (£25m) on new horror films. The new owners have also acquired the Hammer group's film library.

C:

People from the age 15+ (31). Not younger because the movie is only allowed for people which are minimum 15 years old, to scary. Because our movie is not a ‘Teenager’ movie also people until 32 could watch it.
