Research Homework

While looking again through my two clips, i decided to do the opening scene on 'catch me if you can' rather than 'Die Another Day' because James Bond one would have been easy to find and it would be interesting to find out about a film i have not seen. While watching it again, i noticed the names of these companies:

-Dreamwork pictures
-Kemp company and splendid pictures production
-Parkes/Macdonald production
-A steven speilburg film

I recognised Dreamworks straight away, as they are quite a popular and well known company, there are two types of Dreamworks, Dreamworks animation and Dreamworks pictures. Dreamworks animation have produced films such as Shrek, Shrek 2, Shark Tale, Madagascar, Over The Hedge and Shrek The Third. Thiks animation and Dreamworks pictures. However dreamworks pictures have produced films such as 'American Beauty' 'Gladiator' and 'War of the worlds'.

DreamWorks, LLC, also known as DreamWorks Pictures, DreamWorks SKG or DreamWorks Studios, is a major American film studio which develops, produces, and distributes films, video games, and television programming. It has produced or distributed more than ten films with box-office grosses totalling more than 100 million dollars each. Its most successful title to date is Shrek 2.

DreamWorks began in 1994 as an ambitious attempt by media moguls Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen (forming the SKG present on the bottom of the DreamWorks logo) to create a new Hollywood studio. On the 'Catch me if you can' opening sequence it says 'A steven Speilburg film' so this is probably who out of dreamworks that produced it.After researching, i found this information:

The Dreamworks film 'Catch me if you can', directed by Steven Spielberg, tells the true story of Frank Abagnale (Leonardo), the youngest man ever placed on the FBI's MOST WANTED LIST. Abagnale becomes a successful con artist, and cashes over 2.5 million dollars in forged checks. Along the way he impersonates an airline pilot, an FBI agent, a doctor, a lawyer, and a sociology professor. It is based on the book by Frank Abagnale. The film was produced by:

Barry Kemp
executive producer

Daniel Lupi
co-producer

Laurie MacDonald
executive producer

Devorah Moos-Hankin
co-producer

Walter F. Parkes
producer

Anthony Romano
executive producer

Michel Shane
executive producer

Steven Spielberg
producer

Since the executive producer is Barry Kemp, i assume this is where 'Kemp company and splendid pictures production originates from. Also, as Laurie Macdonald and Walter F. Parkes are the producers, this is where Parkes/Macdonald production also originates from.
