Hollywood films are produced and distributed by big companies such as universal, Warner, fox searchlights, paramount and Sony. This results in high advertisement and media hype when a film comes out. With convergence into other media forms through merchandising and genres such as pirates of the Caribbean which went into cartoons on TV after the success of the films.
The film these big 6 companies make are generic with similar values that all deliver the same message. There is an awful lot of sequels for these films such as die hard, terminator, Shreck 1,2 & 3. Art house and social realist films are produced by smaller scale companies such as Big Arty productions, film4, uk film council and EM media. These mean much lower budgets meaning that possibly because of this, the film makers have to be more creative into the movie, such as to do with storyline/script and other features. Certainly films such as This is England and Funny Ha Ha have much more deeper and complex stories than Hollywood blockbusters. For this reason production companies matter when you’re looking for the movie you want to watch, as one company would mean a engaging intimate film that sets across values such as individuality and rebellion, or another could provide thrilling and impressive action scenes where the guy always gets the girl and the good guy always beats the bad guy.
By looking at these forms and conventions and narrative in these movies I have realised which set of values come with the genre of each movie type.
This has given me experience for when I decide which genre I will choose when I do my video production.
