We agreed as a group the genre of films we would like to research to give us a better insight on what our intro should be like, and decided individually what films we would each research:
Toby

• Batman Begins

Charlie

• Kick-Ass 2

George

• Thor : The Dark World (2013)

Michael

• Bruce almighty

As part of the main task, it was specified that we should find the distributor for each film we were researching.

Kick-Ass 2:
The distribution company for this film is the very recognizable Universal Pictures/Universal Studios. Universal pictures is an American film studio and its main headquarters is located in California. It is owned by Comcast and is considered one of the "big six" American film studios. Some of the other films it has distributed, such as Jaws, E.T. - The extra-terrestrial, and Jurassic park, have achieved box office record and became the biggest profit films at their times of release.

Thor : The Dark World (2013)
The company that produced, made, distributed this film are Marvel Studios originally known as Marvel Films from 1993 to 1996, are an American based motion picture studio based at Walt Disney Studios in California. Being a part of the Disney conglomerate, Marvel Studios works in conjunction with The Walt Disney Studios, another Disney unit, for distribution and marketing.

Bruce Almighty:
The company that distributed this film is again a major studio, Universal Studios. This is a studio that are responsible for a majority of the films that are released since their establishment as a major studio and have quickly and easily become the most recognizable studio with their classic introduction of the Universal name in front of the globe. They distribute a range of films from blockbusters such as Jaws (1975) and Jurassic Park (1993) and smaller films such as Transformers (2007) and Hellboy 2 (2008). Universal know how to make a blockbuster and know what will gross well in the box office and produce films from an extensive range of genres, they will produce any genre as long as the concept is a good one.

Batman Begins:
The company that distributed the film of my choise is Warner Bros Pictures. The company was founded in 1923 by Samn Warner, Albert Warner, Harry Warner & Jack Warner (hence the name Warner Brothers). The company is located in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA.Wanrer Brothers also distribute other films along with tv shows and music entertainment.
