What a Film Distributor is looking for. Tip #3
Simply look through the camera and see the greatness.
There is brilliant camerawork and there is abysmal camera work. Make sure you are not the latter, it cripples your filmmaking from the get go.
Never over estimate good framing techniques.
It is proven that imaginative camerawork increases the connection between your brilliant story line and your engaging audience. However, if the camerawork...

The Independent covers a breakthrough story today. Britain has spectacular Classic Films. Britain has an avid cinema-goer statistic. The “popcorn-munching” people of today who love to watch their films - why not re-sell classics to them!
It is a great idea which proposes that the legend of films will continue to stay alive. If this is marketed correctly to the best demographic, this...

What a Film Distributor is looking for. Tip #2
See the light in the beginning.
Lighting your film correctly and effectively automatically affects the way an audience judges your movie.
For example; Moody lighting and dark shadows and a light hearted comedy would not be suited. The two do not compliment one another and changes the way the audience views it.the way you light your film significantly affects how your audience perceives it.

What a Film Distributor is looking for. Tip #1
A spectacular screenplay goes a long way.
Screenplay is vital.
The director, the actors, the equipment and the grind is all wasted if the story is useless.
The hard work needs to be put in right from when the pen touches the paper - this ensures that the story is good enough to sell.
Most people do not care about who directed the film, or whose in the film more than what the film is actually...

"Serious films that have not been Box Office... →
British Film has been dominating the news recently. This article opposes those of the government who believe that they should only support those commercial films. Other films out there need to be recognised for their performance and their talented abilities. It is not fair to just side line those who have not been Box Office smashes for any reason.
Denton supports those, so should Britain!

Hello. My name’s Siobhan and I am a British film addict. Unfortunately this affliction is very rare and there is no known cure. My hope is that some day most of the population will share some understanding of the condition and join me in spreading the word of British Film!
I have set up this Tumblr in order to record the British films I am currently watching. I hope to...

dandancantfly:
i’m seriously curious, i don’t think i’ve ever read an article or seen a tv segment that lauds over out home grown talent the way the Americans and Europeans do with their artists.

So David Cameron, not content with fucking up every other aspect of British society and culture, has set his targets on the British film industry. Apparently, rather than using public and lottery funding towards risky but culturally significant fare like the much-acclaimed, award-winning likes of Submarine and Tyrannosaur, we should just spent the lot on yet more...

Yes it is beneficial for them to support mainstream movies. This is a big money maker for our country and generates economic growth.
However, if they support smaller projects additionally, this could also be beneficial for economic growth.
They are not giving young and fresh talent the opportunity to get their foot in the door!
See the bigger picture!

"How Can We Make British Film Boom?" →
The “creative industries” account for 7% of GDP. That is massive! Yet, the Government do everything they can to allow Hollywood studios to come over and take over.
Lights, Camera, Action.. For Hollywood.
If we did this in house and kept it all British, the Economy could boom. There is a positive correlation with Film and GDP i.e. the Economic Growth.

Speilberg threw away Harry Potter →
Steven Speilberg tells BBC Breakfast about the developments he had with Harry Potter but decided to throw it away. He gave up on it knowing that “the series would be a hit.”
His children ridiculed him for his decisions but he explains why..
Potentially could have been a great adventure for him, but he’s Steven Speilberg, you can’t tell him he’s wrong!
