Extension Work - Other Case Study

Below you will find links to a series of resources on four other case studies that you might want to explore.  The resources were prepared for a Film Studies course where they do a unit called 'Producers and Audiences' which is very similar to our 'Institutions and Audiences' unit. Having extra case studies can help you to write better essays and achieve a higher mark but it is not compulsory. I will not be checking that you have read the material or done the activities - the resources were designed to be used in the classroom.  If you would like a paper copy of the resources please let me know.

Independent UK Film - The Machine



UK Medium Budget Film - The Worlds End



US Independent Film - Whiplash



US Mainstream Film - Gravity

Global, national and local audiences

Don't forget that you need to find out about the film you selected as an examples of Global Target Audience.  You will need to find out about the budget and profit it made, who made it, reviews, where it was released and how much money it made (Box Office Mojo).  Make a judgement (backed up with reasons) as to whether or not it was a success.
