Hollywood Movies

1.       What are the key characteristics of Hollywood blockbuster movies?

They have better CGI and effects, they mostly follow basic storylines such as a beginning middle and end, and they also have bankable stars that will attract there target audience. And they also re use sets like the set of Friends, this saves them money.

2.       Why are these types of movie so popular with the big Hollywood studios?

They are very popular because once a producer creates a movie and identifies his or her favourite trend e.g (horror) then they stay making that genre.  Also they do this to target all audiences so most people will go and view their film. The British industry is like a niche market.

3.       Do you think that a company like FilmFour would make these types of film?

I believe that maybe one company would to see if they could break through the British industry, although I think they would be unsuccessful, as the British industry has a different audience to American audiences, also the British industry is very low budget and would not be as interesting.

4.       What types of films do Film4 produce?

Film4 produce films that are low budget, and have non famous stars, and the set are rather small and quite budgeted and they are not very broadly marketed and they do not follow a particular genre.

5.       Who are they appealing to?

They are appealing to a small audience but there audience varies to what kind of film they make, they are appealing to a UK audience and people over the age of 15.
