Sket is a film that shows urban drama around London. Ill Manors also showed this around. Having this type of audience can make this a successful film. Making sure that there is a audience for the film makes it easier for the film. The work was made to have a specific audience. This film is mainly focused on a female perspective whereas Ill Manors shows a wider range of audience.
Why did Revolver Entertainment go out of business in 2013?
Revolver went out of business because they couldn't afford to keep going and they kept losing staff because they wanted to go to a better and more sustainable company something that Revolver was lacking in.
How is new technology changing the way films are being distributed?
Cinemas and downloading are trending more as people would rather go out or download an app to watch films on. This means that DVDs and some websites are getting out of business.
Gunslinger
Visit the Gunslinger website and list the three films currently in development (click on theSlate tab).
Research the Gunslinger/Revolver film Shank. Embed the trailer in your blog and explain how it compares to Ill Manors (similarities and differences).
Shank is a similar film to Ill Manors as they show that they are similar by getting into crime and stuff. Ill Manors does relate as they also showed crimes like this.They both showed gangs and getting into the wrong crowed.
List other Gunslinger films that fit the UK urban drama genre. Why does Gunslinger focus on this genre in particular? Anuvahood and Shank focus on this type of genre as its a genre that can be successful if done right. There aren't many films with this genre which is why a few companies focus on it and make sure that the films come out successful when they do it.
Research the British social realism genre. How do Gunslinger films fit into the social realism genre?
Why does the UK urban drama genre appeal to an audience?
This genre appeals to people as they don't get to watch enough of it as not many films get released with this. Having this makes it different and unique as its something that needs to be done and some audiences swatch these.
Certification
One final aspect of institution is the certificate the film was awarded for exhibition. This is decided by the British Board of Film Classification.
How does the certification process work at the BBFC?
Think about the certificate of Ill Manors (18 certificate). What is deemed acceptable for an 18 certificate? What is the difference between a 15 certificate and an 18 certificate
Having a certificate where certain ages can watch a film is there for their benefit and for the parents. For example an 18 certificate is there so that sex, drugs and crime are there to be watched by people over that age. Making sure that this done properly is difficult as some people don't listen to the ages.
The difference is that a 15 age certificate shows minor drugs, sex etc. Whereas an 18 shows more explicit showing of those contents.
