The article discusses figures from the BFI showing a large reduction in money spent on independently produced British films, with spending on films without studio backing dropping 45% to £175 million and productions over £500,000 budget falling from 94 to 49. It notes television is often a more attractive option for producers due to more reliable revenues from streamers like Netflix or rights from British broadcasters. The article also states the British independent film system has fundamental flaws in how financing works and the terms under which producers and talent can earn money.
Evaluation activity 3 (1)
A production company is responsible for creating a film through budgeting, scheduling, scripting, casting, and more. They find directors and actors and are responsible for any issues during filming, like injuries.
A distributor's role is to promote and distribute the finished film to audiences. They determine the release date and strategy for promoting the film through previews, advertising, and releasing copies to cinemas and for home viewing.
The filmmakers' project would be eligible for funding from the UK Film Council and BFI Film Fund as it is a British independent production with a UK cast and crew. Film4 would be a suitable distribution partner as they focus on similar lower-budget British independent films.
Part 2 – short film context: Funding and Support
The UK Film Council and British Film Institute were public organizations that funded and supported the UK film industry through various means such as lottery funds. The UK Film Council distributed over £160 million to 900 films before closing in 2008, after which the BFI took over its role. The BFI continues to fund short films and new filmmakers through lottery funds and grants ranging from £2,250 for shorts to £40,000 for features. Emerging filmmakers can also receive funding from additional sources like regional film organizations and crowdfunding websites.
Task 1
The BBC is the oldest national broadcasting organization and largest broadcaster in the world by employees. It is a British public service broadcaster headquartered in London, employing over 20,950 staff. The BBC is publicly funded by television license fees paid by UK residents and uses this funding to provide radio, television and online services covering the UK and BBC World Service broadcasts in 28 languages globally.
Low budget film companies
Film4 is a British television channel that screens films and has financed many low-budget films that went on to be box office successes. As Channel 4's feature film division, Film4 develops and co-finances films with distinctive and innovative UK talent, both new and established. Some of Film4's most successful co-financed UK films include 12 Years a Slave, Slumdog Millionaire, and The Iron Lady, all Academy Award winners, as well as other critically acclaimed films.

Though it only earned $36,000 domestically, it was a huge worldwide success with $86 million in international box office earnings. The film was marketed heavily online and through trailers targeting the core audience of 15-25 year olds who enjoyed the TV series.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Institution research
- 2. From looking into films that are of a similar theme and genre to the trailer I am going to create, I have decided to either use BBC Film or Film4 Productions as a lot of the films I have been inspired by or have researched are made by these production companies. Both of these institutions are British and produce British independent films. The films produced by these companies are then distributed by a larger company, such as universal.
- 3. BBC FILMS “BBC Films is committed to finding and developing new talent, collaborating with some of the foremost writers and directors in the industry.” It is firmly established at the forefront of British independent film-making and co-produces approximately eight films a year. Working in partnership with major international and UK distributors, BBC Films aims to make strong British films with range and ambition. They had previously produced films such as ‘Billy Elliot’, ‘Fish Tank’ and ‘Kicks’.
- 4. FILM4 PRODUCTIONS Film4 is Channel 4 Television’s feature film division that develops and co-finances films in the UK. They’ve produced films such as ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, ‘Submarine’ and ‘Ex Machina’.
