Kidulthood - Why would Kidhulthood have found it difficult to get finance from a production company?


Why would Kidhulthood have found it difficult to get finance from a production company?

Firstly, the production company Stelth, that made Kidhulthood would have found it difficult to get finance because Kidulthood was their first film, and other production companies would not want to throw money at them incase their film did not make a profit and failed, because then they could have lost alot of money.
Another reason why Kidulthood would have found it hard to get financed is because of what the film is about, being a gritty social realism film about what life really is like on the streets of London could have been a bad thing to portray, as is it real life, and some people would have and maybe are still in the situations that these teenagers are in the film.
Lastly, another reason why production companys would not have wanted to give money towards to film is that the main charactors in Kiduthood are all un-known.

Toy Story 3


The film I have chosen to write about is Toy Story 3.
The Plot for Toy Story 3 is;
Andy is heading off to college, and his toys, including Woody and Buzz, are worried about their uncertain future. Andy decides to keep Woody, and attempts to put all of the other toys in the attic. After some twists and turns, the toys are accidentally donated to Sunnyside Daycare Center. They befriend the toys there, such as Lots-O'-Huggin' "Lotso" Bear and a smooth-talking Ken doll. The toys are keen on starting a new life at the daycare. It isn't long before they discover that Andy is actively searching for them, so they decide to escape -- but to make things complicated, the toys soon discover that some of their new friends aren't as friendly as they thought. To further complicate matters, Buzz is damaged during an escape attempt. The toys try to reset Buzz, only to make him revert to a delusional Spanish language version of his old self, much to the other toys' discomfort and Jessie's amazement. The toys try to get Woody home in time before Andy leaves.

Short Essay Questions

•The importance of convergence to the film industry.
Converngence is two media industries that are working together to make and promote a film or another media product. for example, a film industry converging with a game industry to produce a game which is similar to the film. This is important to film industry because both companys will promote each other and gain a wider audiance.
Convergence is important within the film industry because; it is a financial income, by the film company joing with gameing companies and toy companies, this will bring in more money as they will get a share of the profit made. As well as this some people may see the products that have been brought out, such as a game that contains real footage or clips of the film in the advert and then people will want to see the film after seeing an advert for the game which is based on the film - therefore bringing more money to the film company.

•How might convergence affect the production, distribution, marketing and exhibition.

•How might convergence affect the way audiences ‘consume’ films?
Convergence can affect the audiences consume films because films can be brought on either bluray or DVD, and depending on which one the audience buys the film on, will depend on how they "consume" it, for example, a DVD can not be watched on high-defenition, where as a Bluray would be a better quality of vewing, and if an audience watchs the film on a Bluray, or on Sky Movies HD, my personal oppinion is that they will enjoy the film alot more, because of the quality of the film that they are watching is alot higher then it would just to watch it on normal telly or on a DVD.
