#132 on British Film.



2) Read the whole of Factsheet #132 British Film

3) Write a one-sentence definition of what makes a film British.
it means British involvement, so if the cast/director is British or even the subject matter. 

4) What is the difference between a Hollywood production context and production context of a British film?
British film productions have a lower budget, are driven by the characters and plot and uses the word of mouth technique much more heavily than Hollywood productions. Hollywood productions have much larger budgets and use celebrities generated attention to promote their movie. 

5) When did the James Bond franchise start?
1960's when the cultural norms where changing

6) In terms of film censorship and graphic content, what began to change in British film in the 1970s and 1980s?
sexual contexts and violence become much larger therefore in about 1985 BBFC certificates were made sure to be used correspondingly. 

7) What groups are often represented in British film? Give examples of films these groups feature in.
Young people, in terms of violence for example in clockwork orange. Also the representation of women from  either 'nanny mcphee' to 'confessions of a window cleaner'

8) What does the Factsheet suggest might be the audience appeal of British film?
When it focuses on British perspective, issues and characters are also British. The social context has to be British/from a British stand point. Or the characters and directors much be british in order for it to give it a sort of 'British' feel.
