CHICKEN- case study

Funding:
1) The budget for chicken was £110,000.
2)Stephenson raised money through investment by individuals; could be rich friends or contacts.
3)The budget is much lower than a popular film as it used less equipment and scences therefore it was cheaper to film unlike an expensive film to make.
4)The BFI Film Fund uses National Lottery funds in order to develop and support original UK filmmakers and films and to increase the audiences.
5)I think that 'Chicken' failed to secure funding from the BFI Film Fund as the topics within the film could potentially make the audience feel uncomfortable therefore, they wouldn't make much money from it.

Production:
1)The weather made it difficult to film as most of the shots were filmed outside.
2)The film took 19 days to shoot.
3)The most difficult shots to film were the outside shots.

Distribution:
1)In 2014, the film failed to secure a distribution deal due to the BFI not funding the film; it suggested that the film wouldn't attract a big audience therefore, it wouldn't have made a lot of money as it is considered as a niche film.
2)Edinburgh international film festival, Busan international film festival, Giffoni international film festival, Cin A La Vista international film festival, Tallin black nights film festival, Schlingel international film festival, Dublin international film festival.
3)Film festivals are an effective way for a low-budget film to secure a distribution deal as it allowed many people to view the film, including people who could spread the word about the film by writing reviews about it.
4)Chicken was release in cinemas in May 2016.
5)Predominantly, MUBI chose 'Chicken' to feature on their service as they show niche films and the film fits into the niche category.
6)Film 4 was a good choice to give its film premiere to is because it is a popular channel therefore, there will be a great amount of views.
7)It is already on itunes.

Promotion:
1)The trailer suggests that it is a social-realism film as the character possibly has special needs and the audience don't usually see characters like this in films.
2)To maintain the audience's interest in the film, they retweet and quote reviews about it from other people and they also retweet people's post about them buying the DVD as this demonstrates that people are willing to pay money to watch the film.
3)
4)By retweeting others' posts, it popularises the film as its' followers can see that people enjoy the film.
5)They share and upload posters that have reviews written on them.
6)
7)
8)Stephen Frears, Ian McKellen, Noel Clarke, Karen Gillian and Mark Kemode are mentioned on the B good picture company.
9)The website has facebook and twitter icons and if you click them, they take you to the social media where you csn get updates about the film; it suggests how people instantly think about finding out information from social media instead of magazines.
10)The B Good Picture Company's YouTube channel uploads key scenes from the film so people are able to view parts of the movie; if they enjoy the part that they watch, they can then watch the whole film.

CASE STUDY: capital

REVIEWS AND FEATURES: 1)POSITIVE POINTS- -"a complicated and brilliant portrait of London life" The Guardian. -"strong performances from a superb ensemble cast" The Telegraph. -"its far more gripping than a drama about the property market sounds" Evening Standard. 2)CRITICISMS- -"an overly schematic tangle of under developed plot lines populated by underwritten characters" The Telegraph. -"it was a disappointment" The Telegraph. 3) 4)The writer says that 'the average house price in London hits £500,000 as Capital's housing market shows no sign of losing steam'. 5)-"housing market and increasing rate of gentrification across London means that Capital's ideas still stand. Reflecting the times, the setting has changed from Clapham to Balham." Standard. -"Capital offers a microcosmic metaphor for London at large." Standard. -"This drama shows an eternal London, riven by inequality and...
