Editor's Notes
- Discuss in general what you would need to do to appeal to global or a UK local audience
- How would these films appeal to Global/Local market and why Hollywood actors tend to have more global appeal than actors from other countries – unless they have acted in a Hollywood film, Talk about how the non US stars are ‘americanised’ David Thewlis – Harry Potter, War Horse, Striped PJs
- Big name directors help sell the film to a global audience – especially if the have created a global hit before. English ones can if they have a track record but can better for a local market, no name no chance with global
