I think that it is important for Britain to make their own films as I personally think that Great Britain brings the most realism compared to American films. Great Britain has as much right to make films as America does. Hollywood is owned by corporate businesses that are only truly interested in making money instead of making sure they truly appeal to their audiences. Whereas most British film crews are only interested in making a great film without thinking about the money they will make.
I think that the British film council should fund more films that require special effects as I think that British films mainly deal with realism and could use a new breakthrough especially with all the fantasy novels that are created by British authors and are set in great Britain, for example Harry Potter was made a British author which is set in England. However, there are many genres to focus on but I think that if the British council funds a fantasy, there would be major completion between Britain and Hollywood.
The five types of films that my organization will fund will be Dramas, to keep the sense of reality in our British films such as Atonement and Carries War; romances, Great Britain has had many hit with romance, films such as Love Actually and Bridget Jones Diary; comedies, the British are known for their witty banter and charming ways in such films as the Carry On collection; Cult films like the infamous This Is England, so you can see all the colour’s of great Britain and family films such as Harry Potter so it is suitable or all members o the family. The reason my organization will fund these type of genres is because I feel that the new British film makers of today will do a good job of selecting their target audiences and making sure that they will meet the demands of the public.
I feel that there are other organizations that are related with making quality British films. The main one is helping to encourage young people to take part in drama workshops and to help those who wish to act, into an acting school. To help these young people, my organization would have to run workshops in local schools for those who wish to act or produce/make films and give scholarships to hose worthy enough to attend a performing arts/media-film studies school. This way, we are helping to educate young minds and helping to make the British film making association a larger community so as to truly compete against the corporate Americans.

It's interesting that you think the British film industry should be in competition with Hollywood. Do you think it could ever be matched?
ReplyDeleteYour idea to run workshops is great! Britain has a history of producing talented film people, the problem is many go to work in Hollywood?
Well done Hayley, a considered response. (Mr.Dunk)
