Film Industry

This is what the exam board says you should be prepared for:

A study of a specific studio or production company within a contemporary film industry that targets a British audience (eg Hollywood, Bollywood, UK film), including its patterns of production, distribution, exhibition and consumption by audiences. This should be accompanied by study of contemporary film distribution practices (digital cinemas, DVD, HD-DVD, downloads, etc) and their impact upon production, marketing and consumption.

Your first task is to research Big Talk Productions. This British film production company will be the first part of our case study.

- How long has the company been around?
- Who runs it?
- What does the company do?
- What films have they made?

For each of their films you should include:

- Name of the film
- date of release
- Director, writer(s), stars
- Producer(s)
- Distributer
- Budget
- Gross revenue
