Institution Research

Institution Research

From the second box  we state that we chose Bulletboy because of the fact that it is in the same genre as our idea and deals with youth crime and violence, we chose Terminator for a more specific reason, this being due to the fact that the Terminator has a female lead which would incorporate a broader audience.


In the fifth box we can see that Bulletboy was financed by the UK film council and the Terminator being financed by HBO and Orion pictures.


The sixth box deals with other ways of financing movies, one of them being self financing or national financing.


The last box looks at whether these companies would finance our potential film, UK film council would most likely because of the low budget required for our film and the fact that he deals with a solely British theme however HBO and Orion pictures wouldn't for the fact that our genre is too different and doesn't fill the mass market sector.


I have explained all the unclear boxes but from this research one of the most interesting outcomes found was the money made, although The Terminator used a larger budget it made a larger profit however Bulletboy made a smaller profit. This shows how the target market for Bulletboy is small and maybe involving the female character within the film may enhance the films success. Another thing to look out for now after this is the film finance and distribution companies. 



  • Now I need to look at what finance and distribution companies we should use.
  • How will we fund?
  • How will we make the female character seem important in our opening sequence.
