Research into Film Companies

As one of my research tasks I decided to research and find out more about individual film companies. I included some background information about their production and examples of the films which they have produced. I chose three of the most famous film companies and these were: Universal Studios, Dreamworks and Paramount Pictures.


Universal studios is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, it is one of the leading film companies around the world and although it is based in California it is known worldwide. Surprisingly, it is the second oldest movie studio in the world that is still in continuous production. Universal Pictures is the longest-lived Hollywood studio.
Below are examples of some of the films Universal Studios have produced:

Dreamworks is an American film studio which began in 1994. It has produced and distributed more than 10 films with box-office grosses, which totals more than $100 million each. Its founders were Steven Spielberg, Jefferey Katzenburg and David Geffen and they decided to come together following Katzenburgs resignation from the Walt Disney Company. The first film the company released was in 1998, and since then thousands have been distributed. Below are examples of the films Dreamworks have produced:

Paramount Pictures was founded in 1912 and also like Universal Studios is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. It is one of the largest movie studios known and the last to exist in the Hollywood district of L.A, aswell as being the third oldest film studio. Below are some examples of films that Paramount Pictures have produced:
