BFI trip notes:

Audience's cinema views:

Prestige - Very educational, films that have purpose of more than just for recreational viewing

Arthouse - Usually low budget, and focuses more on the art of filming, including cinematography, narrative, plot, etc

Multiplex - Very mainstream films, total opposite of prestige, but quite similar to arthouse, not including the low-budget build

Prestige and arthouse films work very well with sub-genres such as social realism - people can really relate, and as a result it appeals to them, rather than appealing from the film arts aspect and so.

Filming companies as of now:

Two companies, Warp Films & Vertigo have sort of pioneered the British film industry.

Warp films - Company based in Sheffield, UK, and also has a franchise in Melbourne, Australia

Vertigo films - Company formed in June, 2002 and has notable movies produced by them
