The UK Film Council was a charity that awarded National Lottery funding to support film production, distribution, education, and research in the UK. It also supported short filmmakers and independent distributors. Prior to the Film Council, the British Film Institute (BFI) was a private company that received some public funding. Since the government dismantled the Film Council, most of its functions have been transferred to the BFI, including distributing National Lottery funding for new British films. The Regional Screen Agencies also helped fund short films across the UK until changes to funding structures.

This is England funding
The UK Film Council announced it would invest £18 million over two years in regional film industries across England. Screen Yorkshire, the regional film agency for Yorkshire, would receive £7.7 million over two years from the Regional Investment Fund for England to support film production, education, exhibitions, and training. An additional £2.7 million Digital Archive Fund would help unlock regional film heritage and give each region £300,000 over two years.

The UK Film Council, BBC Films, Vertigo Films, and Film Four are major film institutions in the UK that support the production and distribution of British films. The UK Film Council has backed over 900 films to make the UK a global center for film and supports new directors. BBC Films finds and develops new talent to produce independent British films. Vertigo Films creates commercially driven independent films using new technologies while paying attention to budgets. Film Four showcases British and international films and partners with Warp X Films to challenge films budgets and expand niche audiences. These institutions would likely distribute a UK-based social realist film.
UKFC
The UK Film Council (UKFC) was established in 2000 to develop and promote the UK film industry. It had a mandate to stimulate a competitive and vibrant UK film industry through cultural, social, and economic means. As of 2008, the UKFC had 90 employees and distributed over £160 million to over 900 films from lottery funds. However, in 2010 the UK government announced it would abolish the UKFC, transferring its functions to the British Film Institute despite protests that its closure had no consultation.

These institutions would be suitable to distribute a new UK-based social realist film.
Defining British Film
The document discusses factors that define a British film, including whether the story/setting, director, cast, financing, and intended audience are British. It provides examples of films like "Control" and "This is England" that would qualify as British films according to recent UK government criteria focusing on cultural hubs (UK production), cultural practitioners (UK cast and crew), and cultural content (British setting and characters). Readers are asked to discuss films that meet these criteria in small groups.

Warp film
Warp Film is an independent British film company based in London and Sheffield. As an independent studio, it has more limited funding than major studios but seeks financing from various UK film councils and organizations. It stresses the importance of using short films to impress potential funders and get noticed. Some of Warp Film's biggest successes include This Is England, which won several awards, and Submarine, which had a small £1.2 million budget but made over £2 million in profits. However, some of its films like Bunny and the Bull and Grow Your Own were financial flops. Warp Film's success is attributed to securing funding from multiple UK sources and producing low-budget films that are acclaimed and commercially successful.

Time Entertainment would be a suitable distributor for the film "Face Your Fears" because it is categorized as a local film. Local films have small, independent production and distribution companies with limited budgets and target UK audiences using homegrown stars. As an independent production also using UK companies and talent, Time Entertainment would be a good fit as a local distributor for the film.
The DCMS Jan 2012 Film Policy Review
The document summarizes the key points from the 2012 UK Film Policy Review conducted by Lord Smith. The review recommended that 1) producers should recoup funding from financially successful films to reinvest in future productions, 2) broadcasters like Sky and ITV should increase investment in British films, and 3) film education should be brought into every British school to develop new audiences. Some concerns about the review included that it may sideline independent films and focus funding only on commercial successes, which are difficult to predict. The overall goal appeared to continue supporting a wide range of British films and improve audiences for local films.

As a British film distribution company established in 1997, Revolver would sign an agreement with the producer specifying distribution rights and provisions for revenue sharing and local editing if needed.

The British Film Industry, CGS
The document discusses several key aspects of the British film industry:
- It identifies the main organizations that support and promote British film, including the BFI and UK Film Council.
- It outlines the criteria for a film to be considered British, such as having a British director or being based on a British story.
- It examines box office data from a sample weekend which shows that while US films dominated the top spots, several British films also performed well, indicating the British industry can attract audiences.
Media 1
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a media product. It analyzes the BBC, Vertigo Films, Film Four, and the UK Film Council. The BBC produces independent British films and aims to bring the best of British talent to audiences. Vertigo Films distributes commercially driven independent films and ensures projects appeal to audiences. Film Four showcases a wide range of international films from a low budget to appeal to niche audiences. The UK Film Council was established to develop and promote the UK film industry, funded through sources like the national lottery. Any of these institutions could help attract UK audiences and distribute the media product.
Media presentation
The media institutions that could distribute the author's media product are the BBC, Vertigo Films, Film Four, and the UK Film Council. The BBC produces many successful British independent films. Vertigo Films distributes commercially driven independent films and ensures projects appeal to audiences. Film Four showcases a wide range of international films from low budgets to niche audiences. The UK Film Council was established to develop the UK film industry through funding and promotion. Any of these institutions could help attract UK audiences and contribute to the popularity of the author's media product.
EVALUATION.
The UK Film Council would be a suitable institution to distribute my media product. As a public body funded by the National Lottery, the UK Film Council supports both established and up-and-coming British film directors and backs hundreds of films. It aims to make the UK a global center for film and plays a key role in the country's cultural and economic success. The UK Film Council has partnerships with other film organizations and is focused on developing new talents, though it is selective in the films it chooses to back. Distributing through the UK Film Council would provide access to funding without budget constraints and help attract UK audiences to increase the niche audience for my thriller/social realism genre film.
Institutions and Audiences: British Film

British cinema since 1990 (2)
The document discusses several key aspects of British cinema:
1) There are debates around whether British films should represent British culture to domestic audiences through public funding, or compete internationally by attracting wide audiences.
2) The UK Film Council was set up in 2000 to centralize public support for film through various funding programs.
3) There are discussions around whether British cinema should receive any public money given some films' financial performances. British films must balance representing national culture with finding international distribution.
British film industry
This document summarizes the British film industry's use of lottery funds. It notes that lottery funds are used to nurture diverse UK filmmakers, discover and develop new talent, and support a wide range of films that enrich British culture and define Britain's storytellers for domestic and international audiences. It also mentions supporting UK distributors to help British and specialized films reach wider audiences, and supporting sales companies that premiere new UK films at international festivals and markets. Finally, it notes investing in skills training across the film sector and supporting inward investment and film exports to help the industry globally competitive.
Sight & Sound Research
Sight & Sound is an international film magazine published monthly since 1932 that provides reviews of all film releases, including art house films. It sets itself apart by reviewing more films than other magazines. The magazine and its publisher, the British Film Institute (BFI), are known for polls on the greatest films of all time and documentaries. However, the polls have been criticized for lack of diversity. The BFI aims to promote and preserve filmmaking through the magazine in a fair and inclusive way, covering a wide range of genres and budgets.
2 Uk Film Council
The document discusses two opposing views on the aim of British cinema: 1) It should be a national cinema representing British culture to British audiences, requiring public funding. 2) It should be a profitable business competing internationally by attracting wide audiences. The UK Film Council aims to balance these by funding different types of films, including popular films to entertain broad audiences but also more difficult, culturally important films. However, some argue this excludes certain artistic or controversial films needing subsidy. Overall the Film Council has had success funding films that are both commercial and critical successes.
Presentation1
The London Film Festival is organized by the BFI to promote diverse films and television cultures locally and internationally. It receives most of its funding from private sources like individual supporters, trusts, and corporations. This funding helps it attract wide audiences and promote the best cultural films. It screens films at various venues across London, with its main venue located in South Bank and others situated in central locations like Leicester Square and independent cinemas in East London.
Film distributors’ association
The Film Distributors' Association (FDA) is the trade body that represents film distributors in the UK who release films for cinema audiences. Established in 1915, the FDA works with companies and organizations across the film industry. It represents distributors' interests to organizations like the UK Film Council and consults on industry issues. Additionally, the FDA supports the UK film industry through sponsorship of educational institutions like the National Film and Television School.

Synopsis analysis
The document summarizes the feedback received from evaluations of a synopsis for a film about a transgender character named Chloe. While evaluators understood the main character, they had differing views on the world/setting and problem. To improve clarity, the author needs to better explain that the problem is Chloe coming out to others and having her identity misunderstood. The synopsis was also effective at establishing point of view and including familiar settings, but could be strengthened by emphasizing Chloe's motivation to be herself and the impact of her makeover scene.
Part 1 - Articles
This document discusses short films, including their history, why people make them, their strengths and weaknesses, ingredients for success, and target audiences. Regarding why people make short films, it notes they are easy to distribute online to wide audiences, help filmmakers gain credibility for future work, and can pass on messages in innovative ways. Both their online accessibility and potential to attract niche audiences are seen as strengths and weaknesses. Grabbing attention quickly and having relatable plots are highlighted as keys to success. Target audiences include film festivals, artists, general audiences, students and filmmakers.
How does your media product particular social groups
This document discusses how micro elements in filmmaking can be used to represent particular social groups and themes. It provides examples from a short film called "Molly" that represents the social group of drug users through mise-en-scene elements like a messy bedroom with drugs and a character smoking cigarettes. Specifically, the film explores the themes of class and status by showing characters in a deprived area engaged in criminal drug activities while dressed in dark colors. Technical elements like lighting, camera angles, and long takes are used to convey themes of depression, powerlessness, and empty lives. Overall, the document examines how filmic techniques can portray social issues like addiction and mental health to represent particular groups.
Who would be the audience for your media
The document discusses plans for a media product targeting 16-25 year olds. Primary research found this age group was most interested in issues of drug abuse, violence, and class/status. Secondary research found 16-24 year olds more likely to use drugs than older adults. Based on this research, the media product will focus on themes of drug abuse, violence, and class/status using the genre of social realism.
How does your media product particular social groups
This document discusses how a media product represents particular social groups through micro and macro elements. It explains that micro elements like mise-en-scene, sound, editing and camera techniques are used to encode specific macro representations and social meanings that viewers can decode. It then discusses how the filmmaker's product portrays the social groups of drug users and those in a lower economic class through these micro elements like showing a messy room with drugs and shooting in a deprived area. It focuses on representing the key areas of class, gender, and ethnicity to create a plausible world and discuss some of the stereotypes associated with the social groups depicted.
Tamiras research for questionnaire
The document discusses quantitative audience research methods. It explains that the author created a quantitative questionnaire with closed, multi-choice questions to collect statistical data about their target audience. Quantitative research uses sampling techniques like surveys to collect numerical data that can estimate future outcomes, while qualitative research uses open questions to understand opinions and views. The document also distinguishes between primary research conducted first-hand versus secondary research using existing sources, and explains that analyzing results identifies validity, reliability, and recommendations to better address the target audience.
Evaluation plan - PT to Mt
In the preliminary task, movement was wonky and shots were accurate but could have been better without proper practice. For the main task, steady camera movements and practiced shot sizes were used, and iMovie was used to add titles, cut, and crop shots while considering composition and scripting makeup, costumes, and props with a photo story. White balance was not used in the preliminary task but was used to create consistent coloring for the main task.
make up list
The document lists makeup requirements for an actor named Mandy, including messy makeup with smudged mascara and foundation for scenes in her bedroom and outside, as well as bath makeup where her makeup is washing off in the bath, making her bare faced.
costume list
This document is a costume request list for the actors Mandy and Max. It details various clothing items needed for their roles, including a black leather jacket, red checkered shirt, black leggings, black Nike trainers, and a black hoodie for Max to appear unspecified and mysterious. The items are in good condition and worn from previous scenes or picked up from the floor.
props list
The document provides a props request list for a production about addiction, including a black iPhone receiving calls and texts on the bedroom floor, plastic syringes remaining on the bedroom floor throughout scenes, and various pill packets on the bedroom floor, with most being used in scenes. A black iPhone is also used to send a text outside and a packet of drugs is passed between characters but not seen.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
The document discusses research conducted to determine the target audience for a media product. Primary research found that most respondents were aged 16-20 and were interested in the issues of drug abuse, violence, and social class/status. Secondary research found that those aged 16-24 were more likely to have used drugs in the last year compared to older age groups. Based on this research, the target audience is determined to be 16-25 year olds, and the media product will focus on the themes of drug abuse, violence, and class/status using the genre of social realism.
Kes
The document discusses how the film Kes, directed by Ken Loach, uses cinematography techniques like set decoration, lighting, and color design to represent the poverty experienced by the characters. Specifically, the cramped and poorly decorated setting depicts the lack of space and comfort in their lives. The low-key lighting and desaturated color palette create a gloomy atmosphere that evokes sympathy by showing the characters' depression and making viewers uncomfortable. These technical elements address the issues of lack of space and privacy in ways that highlight humans' basic needs.
Kidulthood
The document discusses the technical elements used in the film Kidulthood to represent different student groups and statuses. High key lighting is used outside and low key lighting inside to show who may get in trouble and highlight differences. Costumes also represent bullies, innocents, and social hierarchies. The low key lighting creates an unsettling feeling that something bad will happen and a sense of isolation for those inside. Mise-en-scene and editing are employed to explore class differences and link various student conversations.
Ratcatcher
The document discusses the representation of working class Scottish teenagers in the film Ratcatcher through its use of film techniques. It analyzes how the characters are portrayed as low income through details like rubbish in their small homes. Slow motion and black and white footage are used to show a child lost in his own world until his mother interrupts, reflecting real life. The dull, grey color palette creates feelings of sadness and isolation among the working class characters.
Movement evaluation
The document provides evaluations of 5 separate camera movements. Movement 1 had good lead room and framing, but the backup and side movement were too fast and jerky. Movement 2 had inconsistent lead room and poor framing as the subject's speed was underestimated. Movement 3 had successful lead room and framing by accurately judging the subject's speed. The tilt was unsuccessful as it was diagonal. Movement 4 had successful lead room but inconsistent framing at first, with an successful downward tilt but jolty upward tilt. Movement 5 had good consistent lead room and framing by accurately judging speed, with a successful upward and downward tilt though the downward tilt was diagonal.
Shot sizes evaluation
The document evaluates different shot sizes used in a video, including extreme long shots, long shots, medium long shots, medium shots, medium close ups, close ups, head shots, and extreme close ups. It provides feedback on the effectiveness of each shot size, noting things like the amount of space around the subject, stability of the shot, and whether the shot properly framed and captured the desired body parts or detail.
White balance
White balance is a camera setting that eliminates unrealistic color casts to accurately portray colors as seen in real life. It considers the color temperature of light sources to determine the appropriate warmth or coolness of the image. There are several white balance presets like automatic, daylight, and tungsten, but custom white balance allows manual setting by pointing the camera at a white surface and pressing a button. Proper white balance helps footage remain consistent across different lighting conditions and locations.
White Balance Evaluation
Automatic white balance provided the most accurate color representation of an interior setting, as daylight warmed the colors too much and tungsten lighting did not match the fluorescent lights. A custom white balance worked well outdoors but needed careful placement of the white reference card for proper calibration.
composition evaluation
The document discusses various artistic elements in photography including line, shape, rule of thirds, lighting and tone, form, point of view, and texture. For the line element, the author found that multiple lines going in different directions caused conflicts and distractions from the subject. Regarding shape, different objects like canopies and stands create shapes like arches and trapezoids. The author's rule of thirds shot almost had the subject's eyes hit a power point. Lighting was used to silhouette a location but more architecture could have been included. Symmetry, balance, and levelness are discussed for the form element. The point of view shot was too shaky at the start but the final frame was successful
