It could be said that if a film is made in Britain then it is a British film but other criteria to consider is whether the people making the film are British, if is it funded from within Britain, are the cast British, is the film’s subject matter about Britain or British culture, all these criteria when judged could mean that the film is British or not.
What is the main problem for the British film industry?
The British film industry face many problems. A main problem the British film industry faces is having to sacrifice their distribution rights by selling their film to a distribution company. When a film is sold, all the money the film has made is lost and therefore, ends up making no money. The British industry is often known as a 'cottage industry' as it is small-scale.
4)What are three of the strengths of the British film industry?
One of these strengths are having directors with creativity. For example, Richard Curtis, the director of 'Love Actually' managed to get his film to gross a billion dollars world wide. Also J.K Rowling and her Harry Potter sequel has allowed the British film industry become very successful. Furthermore, Britain has amazing facilities such as studios and camera companies, which attract film makers world-wide.
5) What are the two options for the future of the British film industry?
One option for the British film industry is working with American producers to help the British industry progress. Another option is, producing low-budget films. This would mean the film would remain 'British', however, the price of the film would be lower and effect the profits.
6) In your opinion, which of these two options would best safeguard the future of the British film industry?
In my opinion, I think the British industry should work with American producers, in order to make more successful films. so this could target a wider audience so that could help create a large amount of revenue and profit so that it would help the British industry boom.
