Collective identity & UK film
This document discusses collective identity and British culture. It defines collective identity as a shared sense of belonging to a group and examines how British culture and films are defined. British films are divided into 5 categories based on factors like director, cast, production company, and level of British involvement and investment. Independent films typically have lower budgets than commercial films and feature unknown actors and urban settings, while commercial films are larger blockbusters released in cinemas. Case studies of the independent film Anuvahood and commercial film Bridget Jones's Diary illustrate these differences.

Finally, it proposes that the film would be released first in UK cinemas, then on Blu-Ray/DVD, and eventually online streaming services.

Evaluation 3
British independent films typically have lower budgets than Hollywood blockbusters because British production companies cannot afford large budgets. Most British films do not use many production and distribution companies either, as they cannot pay for production and distribution due to their small budgets. In contrast, Hollywood blockbusters have higher budgets as they are funded by major conglomerates like Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. These large companies can afford big budgets to attract large audiences with famous actors and quality resources.
