1. Global Hollywood
2. Dominate
3. Target audience /mass audiences
Bankable stars
Basic narratives based on simple genre conventions
Blanket release/ wide release/ wide audience
4. Statistics
5. Budgets – link back to structure, advantages to synergy, 3D attracts audiences, it’s a revolution, action/ adventure genre aimed at a family audience.
6. Back catalogues remastered in 3D like star wars, titanic, Dirty Dancing- to gain more money as people were interested in these old films. And will attract older audiences to the 3D experience.
7. Film4 slumdog not typical was a one off for film4
This is England budget was 1.5 million. Grossed 207,000 opening weekend. Previewed in one cinema in the US. Small release, niche audience. Working class UK audience tell working class stories. Complex narrative, no fixed genre, social realism. Age of average audience is 18+. Whereas 20th century fox is aimed at a wider audience. UK films have adult themes. Not universal themes more British.
8. Should put in what is the top 10 movies on like’ this weekend at my local cinema...’
9. Digital screens costs 1500-2500 dollars for a 80 min feature, blanket release. Hollywood can afford distribution budget as it is a parent company they keep it in house. Printing costs like 300 screens in the UK costing 60.000 dollars so film4 don’t have the arms to do it, so they sell the rights to other companies outside the UK. ‘Distribution deal’ sell right, but lose a lot of money; only way film4 can’t distribute movies outside the UK. On a disc it is much cheaper.
10. Uk film council digital screens network, helping to make independent companies more competitive.
11. Piracy- blanket release combat piracy – find out for hw .3D fights piracy as you can’t watch a 3D movie without it being in the cinema. Legal streaming, I-tunes download, orange monkey, sky box office, film4 on demand – film4’s way of responding to the internet, they can’t compete with blanket releases or 3D, not a market they can enter.
