Homework


Q1: What makes a British film?

A british film can be divided into five different categories and they are:
Category A: films made with British money, personnel and resources.
Category B: films co-founded with british money and from foreign investment, but the majority of finance, cultural content and personnel are British.
Category C: films with mostly foreign (but non USA) investment and a small financed input, either financially or creatively.
Category D: films made in the UK with (usually) British cultural content, but financed fully or partly by American companies.
Category E: American films with some British involvement.

British films claim a great number of films under category D and E and a decent amount from B and C but very few are successful as category A films.

Q2: What are the different ways a film can be marketed or promoted?

Poster: E.G. buses, train stations, bus stops...
Merchandise: Goods that relate to the film are sold to help promote the film.
Trailers: A trailer is an advertisement or a commercial for a feature film that will be exhibited in the future at a cinema. 
TV apparences: Trailers shown on the TV
Interviews: Actor and Actress are interviewed about the film.
