1) What is the 'cultural test' to see if a film counts as British?
the cultural test is how a film is able to be classified as a british film (four units involved) The film must score at least 19 out of 31 possible points and can receive funding from BFI.
2) Complete the task on the Fact sheet, researching the films listed and finding out what they score on the cultural test: Sweeney, Attack The Block, The King's Speech, We Need To Talk About Kevin and Sky-fall.
3) What is the main problem for the British film industry?
The right to distribution films are usually lost when given to distribution company and much of the overall profit due to that too (including cinemas, dvd and other platforms it is sold in). Just three companies (StudioCanal, eOne and Entertainment) control half of all box office income made on UK independent films.
4) What are three of the strengths of the British film industry?
Some of the most successful movies are made here such as star wars, slumdog millionaire, harry potter. This is incredibly good for a growing industry such as the one in the UK.
I think to give up American funding at this point in the growth of the British Film industry is unrealistic and would be a huge downfall but on the other hand, i believe that we should incorporate more films relative and correlates with the British views more. In addition, i strongly believe that films that incorporate more British feel and value will top films that mimic the generic american ones.
8) In your opinion, which of these two options would best safeguard the future of the British film industry?
Similar to my answer above, safeguarding the American funding is the best option due to the size of the industry which could use some help.
