G case study working title Case Stu. This is England The eventual and inevitable outbreaks of violence are earth-shattering. Although this is a violent film, and these are violent people, there are touching and occasionally funny moments, especially between Shaun and his girlfriend, Smell Rosamund Hanson.
Four Lions Chris Morris has gained a reputation as one of the most uncompromising satirists working in the British entertainment industry, and with Four Lions , he took on a typically controversial subject: a group of self-styled mujahideen bombers, hilariously plotting martyrdom from their terrace houses in Doncaster. As he did in his satirical news programmes The Day Today and Brass Eye, Morris uses biting satire to expose the stupidity and petty disdain for authority endemic in terrorism.
They were rewarded with commercial and critical success, while Morris won the BAFTA award for outstanding debut film. Submarine Based on the novel by Joe Dunthorne , this rudely updated Catcher in the Rye relocated to Swansea, is about fantastical, solipsistic year-old schoolboy Oliver Tate Craig Roberts , whose chief concerns are trying to lose his virginity to his brusque girlfriend Yasmin Paige and keeping his parents from splitting up.
Ayoade absorbs the style of the French New Wave , Wes Anderson and Michel Gondry with distinctive visuals and deadpan humour, displaying the same maturity and confidence of his influences. Referencing Les Quatre Cents Coups explicitly, like This Is England , it captures the delicate moments of adolescence when idealism and truth collide.
Tyrannosaur Drawn together in a symbiosis of misery, they develop a mutually damaged relationship that offers the possibility of far-off redemption. Kill List After his feature debut, Down Terrace , Ben Wheatley was predictably compared to Mike Leigh for his uncannily precise suburban observations. His second film, Kill List , features the same semi-improvised dialogue, naturalistic performances and documentary style photography, but is more reminiscent of The Wicker Man or The Blair Witch Project Eight months after a disastrous — and unexplained — job in Kiev left him physically and mentally scarred, ex-soldier turned contract killer Jay Neil Maskell is pressured by his former partner, Gal Michael Smiley , into taking a new assignment.
What starts as a harrowing portrait of male inner torture and domestic distress turns into an occult, ultra-violent nightmare, and one of the most genuinely disturbing British thrillers in years. Wheatley is not content to wallow in cheap shock tactics.
It employs just 42 full time staff, split between the main Working Title production arm and its recently closed low-budget offshoot WT2 under Natasha Wharton.
The problem was that at Working Title, smaller films would inevitably get less attention than the bigger budget projects so we decided to set up WT2 to give proper attention to those smaller films. The most important part of the business is developing scripts.
Working Title has a strong development team and invests heavily in making sure that they get it right. Earlier flops include Captain Corelli's Mandolin For example Dave, played by Nick Frost Richard Curtis takes the complex, fascinating subject of 60s pirate radio and turns it into infantalised farce. Social recommendation is key - a personal recommendation from a friend, colleague or relative can be the most powerful trigger for a cinema visit.
Pre-requisite for favourable 'word of mouth' are high levels of awareness and strong interest. Negative word of mouth is extremely difficult to overcome. Post-release, hopefully, a combination of good word of mouth and further advertising will combine to give the film 'legs'. It got a different name in the US…? Last Friday saw the U. During the 7 month delay in its arrival on these shores both DVD and Blu-Ray versions of the film came out in non-American markets, ensuring that U.
In fact, a cam version debuted on Piratebay soon after theatrical release, with DVD and Blu-Ray rips appearing in mid-August, eminently available to anybody around the world with an Internet connection.
Remember - the percentage of box office that comes from the opening weekend has increased from Maybe the existence of free versions on the Internet did less to drive down demand for the film, but instead fostered awareness and interest in the movie above and beyond what the producers were able to do via PR and advertising?
Despite making films with tried and trusted talent in recent years Richard Curtis, Matt Damon box office has not been great. How do you think Working Title can be successful again?
They are called tent pole films as they are a medium budget company and produce films for people of all generations across the world. They choose genres and film types they know will be successful think about Four Weddings and a Funeral, Atonement represents this sort of upper class representation of British people which Americans like.
Warp is an independent company and working title is part of a conglomerate company. Conglomerate are a high budget film, they usually produce Hollywood blockbusters and include a higher standard quality i.
Working films produce medium budget films upto 35 million dollars and they have produced many films Love Actually and Four Weddings. Working Title, get their funding from Universal Studios, which is the parent company of Working Title.
They also get a big sum of money from previous films that they have produced. In the case of Warp films, the budget is low-mid, this affects the genre that they could work on as an action packed thriller and films that focus on social realism. The company has been responsible for backing a large number of films made in the UK. Film 4 does not have the money that a bigger conglomarate does so most of their films are either co-funded and made with other studios and not distributed by them.
However, Film 4 Productions also owns Film 4 so their films can be shown on this channel. A British production company — finances British films — known as Channel 4 film Part of channel 4s remit was to experiment and innovate and cater for audiences not addressed by other channels Nowadays they fund around 20 films per year A number of films are by first time feature screenwriters or directors They look for distinctive films which will make their mark in a competitive cinema market Television premieres on FilmFour Channel and Channel 4 2 years after theatrical release.
Main audiences were contemporary critical audiences in the 20 — 30 age ranges Before Laundrette, a large percentage of the British population went largely unrepresented. However, since East is East, with FilmFour focusing on fewer, more expensive films, it has seen a series of flops with Lucky Break and Charlotte Gray, starring Cate Blanchett, failing to make a big impact last year.
FilmFour Ltd, the film making division, is distinct from the FilmFour subscription movie channel, for which executives have high hopes.
