Institution Case Study

Choose a media institution that is responsible for producing one of the British trailers you've analysed so far.

Carry out a case study (#1) into its workings, using at least three different internet sources. (Include the urls in your posting). Find out...
  • who owns it...people and other organisations involved
  • a history of the institution...how has it developed or changed
  • the texts it produces...give lots of examples
  • institutional values...what is its remit
  • information about its finances & income...provide actual data
  • recent developments...how is it responding to the 'new media' age
Try to make this as detailed as possible, include images & logos etc. that are relevant, and make sure it has been written in your own words and not cut and pasted from other sources.
Then, carry out another case study (#2), this time into a different institution: "A British independent Film and Television production company" (i.e. not the BBC or anything to do with Hollywood, as it states in the brief). The company you looked at in case study #1 one may also have fulfilled this criteria, if so choose another one. The Wikipedia page on British Cinema is a good starting place.
This - along with the peer assessment work from yesterday - all needs to be completed for homework by Monday's lesson 19.11.08.
