What are some of the issues for UK producers and audiences in terms of Hollywood's domination of film distribution?
Issues for producers:
The money goes back to America and British producers don't have as much money.
The backing of American studios of needed often for British films to be successful.
Co productions are usually required.
Without these, British films usually perform poorly.
British companies find distribution deals more difficult as the films don't get released as much.
First and Second World Wars disrupted the rise of British film.
Although plenty of British talent is involved in the film industry.
More people in America so more media.
The technology is American.
Poor perception of British films.
Hollywood dominates the British film industry.
PLAN
1. Hollywood has the money, so British films need vertical integration to succeed mostly. The Theory of Everything, Hawking.
2. America also has the technology, so British films are usually low budget and small scale. Those with big technology, such as Gravity, have links to America.
3. British audiences often only get to see American films.
4. British producers don't have the distribution money. Welcome to the Punch.
5. People are less interested in British films as most aren't blockbuster movies. All 5 Best British Film BAFTA nominees were fairly small scale movies.
