FISH TANK
Fish Tank is aimed at local audiences around London and Essex. It shows the parts of England not seen from outside
countries and only affects local audiences.
The social realism of the film is achieved through the hand held shots, natural lighting and mise-en-scene used to show
the low budget of the film. As it is an independent the actors were unknown, as Katie Jarvis the main actor was
spotted by the person responsible or casting when having an argument with her boyfriend, Brian. For independent
films it isn’t known how much the actors were paid but there are 3 known ways of how this can be
approached, upfront pay, credit and a copy of the film or deferred pay on the backend per certain conditions.
The film is a 15 but there was several issues in deciding this, as the film went into the BBFC guidelines of a 15 and 18.
The problems were around
• very strong language
• sex
• sex references
• recreational drug use
• discriminatory terms
• possible animal cruelty
• moderate violence

THE INBETWEENERS
The Inbetweeners film used cross media convergence when the distribution
and marketing of The Inbetweeners box sets series 1, 2 and 3 was used
with the Phones 4 u to pomote the Samsung Galaxy Ace mobile but also
to celebrate the release of The Inbetweeners film. They spoke to
Absolute Radio and advertised the film through The Nations Noodle. As
this was an independent film they didn’t have a big budget to advertise
the film so they used social networking to create awareness such as
Facebook and twitter accounts.

There is a phone used in the film, the phone is used to film a fight and film

Instead of using a camera which is meant for filming they use their phones
