British film lesson SECTION A

The document discusses the British film industry and what makes a film British. It explains that the British Film Council and British Council work to promote and support the British film industry. The British Council defines six criteria for a film to be considered British, including having a British producer, director, cast, or subject matter related to the British experience. The document asks students to analyze film trailers and determine if they meet the criteria to be classified as British films.

Section a revision SECTION A

The document discusses several aspects of the British film industry: 1) The industry maintains independence by meeting cultural tests with British cast/crew and receiving funding from domestic sources like the UK Film Council. 2) Films are profitable by keeping budgets low which ensures more earnings, and hiring British talent and production companies to retain funds within the country. 3) Major production companies receive funding from domestic organizations and sometimes partner with Hollywood to distribute films more widely.

The rise of the blockbuster

The document discusses the rise of the blockbuster film in the 1970s. It explains that Jaws, released in 1975, was hugely successful and established the model for the modern summer blockbuster through its high budget, extensive marketing campaign, and wide release. The blockbuster approach of frontloading audiences through marketing and wide releases ensured the survival of the major Hollywood studios and led to an increase in franchises, sequels, and pre-sold films based on popular novels and existing properties.

Pp9 financing films (1)

emmarogers

There are various methods for financing films, as it is difficult to predict a film's financial success. Producers must secure funding before filming begins. Government grants and subsidies are available to encourage creativity and support employment, culture, and tourism. Tax incentives also help attract productions by allowing investors to pay less tax. Pre-sales, or selling distribution rights before filming, is a common financing method, as it provides security for investors. However, it can limit creative control and require commercially viable elements like stars. Small independent studios rely more on grants due to the inability to offer secure returns or afford big budgets.

Film Industries

Avatar had a high budget of $200 million, extensive advertising, and was directed by renowned director James Cameron. It used advanced technology. In contrast, The Blair Witch Project had an extremely low budget of only $60,000, minimal equipment like handheld camcorders, improvised acting, and a limited theatrical release. Piranha 3D had a higher budget than Blair Witch at $600,000 but still significantly less than Avatar, targeted a specific niche audience, and has endured as a classic film in its genre.

Film Industries

Alleyn's School Film Studies Department

Avatar had a high budget of $200 million, extensive advertising, and was directed by a well-known director, characteristics of a mainstream film. In contrast, The Blair Witch Project had an extremely low budget of only $60,000, minimal equipment like handheld camcorders, and unknown actors improvising lines, marking it as an independent film. Niche films like Piranha have a specific target audience, higher budgets than independent films but lower than mainstream, and focus on unique concepts that have endured over time.

Jaws Review

KirstieJay28

The opening scene of Jaws establishes the setting of a summer resort town and introduces the first victim, a young female swimming alone at night. Through the use of point-of-view shots from the shark's perspective and shots of the woman alone in the water, the scene builds tension as the shark closes in for its attack. Despite the woman's attempts to cling to a buoy for safety, she is dragged underwater and killed, establishing the threat of the unseen shark lurking beneath the surface. The calm waters after the attack set the tone for the rest of the film, where the sea serves as another character and the location for the shark's killings.

Jaws Analysis

chillif1

The document provides a detailed shot-by-shot analysis of a beach scene from the film Jaws. The first two shots establish the beach location and introduce characters, a mother and child, raising tension given the film's focus on shark attacks. Subsequent shots show the sheriff appearing concerned, no lifeguards on duty building more suspense, and children in the background unnoticed by distracted adults. Music and camerawork generate panic as the viewer realizes an attack on the boy playing with an inflatable tube is imminent. The final shot reveals the deflated and bloodied tube on the shore, symbolizing the child's death in a dramatic tonal shift from happiness to terror.

Jaws Film Analysis

harrygoldsmithmedia

The opening scene of Jaws establishes horror film conventions through low lighting and shadows obscuring the characters. Two teenagers, a boy and a girl who do not know each other well, are shown running and then undressing, implying they will go swimming. However, the boy falls and appears drunk, while the girl swims farther out without realizing he cannot follow. Underwater shots show the girl enjoying her swim until she is suddenly pulled under the water by something, creating tension and mystery for the viewer about what is happening.

A Textual Analysis Of Jaws

Nic JM

This document analyzes the second attack scene in the film "Jaws" and discusses how it could influence the filmmakers' coursework video. Specifically, it highlights the point-of-view shot through the water, which builds tension by not revealing the creature's identity. It also notes how editing cuts between this POV and shots of people swimming in ignorance of the threat. The document concludes that the filmmakers aim to use similar techniques with sound and editing to create a sense of mystery and dramatic irony, as is common in film noir.

simsimma

The opening scene of Jaws establishes the carefree teenage characters around a beach fire and foreshadows impending violence when a girl runs off alone. Cross-cutting builds suspense between the characters and ominous music cues the audience to the approaching threat. Various camera shots like point-of-view from the shark's perspective further the sense of a predator stalking its prey. The credits with red text also foreshadow the blood and danger to come through their symbolic color association.

Jaws Camera-shots Analysis

robyn_valentine

Spielberg uses various camera techniques in Jaws to build tension and create meaning. Wide shots are used to establish settings like the beach and sea, showing potential danger, while also showing vulnerable individuals like those in the water. Close ups highlight important details, like the concerned expression on the sheriff's face compared to the relaxed tourists. Point of view shots from the shark build suspense as it approaches victims. The document analyzes how these shots, like vertical wipes and over the shoulder shots, work together to tell the story and engage the audience emotionally without explicitly showing graphic scenes.

Analysis of the Movie Jaws

MissKylieLee

Spielberg uses various camera techniques to build tension and suspense in the beach scene of Jaws. He begins with establishing shots to set the scene and then tracks a boy walking on the beach. Shots cut between the sheriff looking out at sea from different angles and people walking by to distract his view. Tension rises as a person is shown floating vulnerably in the distance. False shark scares are shown to further build suspense. As children enter the water, the focus shifts between them and the sheriff's concerns. An underwater shot from the shark's perspective leads to the realization that the dog and boy are attacked, shown by the deflated float.

jewelvalue9

Movie poster collecting has a long history dating back to the 1890s. Early posters were typically 27" x 41" in size and did not feature actors' names to save on costs. By the 1920s, posters became more artistic and detailed as studios hired artists and improved printing techniques. Different styles and sizes of posters emerged over time, including half sheets and mini sheets, to promote films. Today, movie posters are mass produced and available for collectors in various formats both physically and online.
