Print Work Draft


With this first edit of my contents page, I am still missing a few pictures which will go into the white boxes and the background that I have used is just temporary. My original background plan is to have a picture of numerous trees that will create a field that looks like the woods with adding a darkness effect to it.



United 93 : Review

United 93 is a movie that is based on 9/11. A plane, by the  name of 93, got hijacked which is what the setting is in the movie but there were also another three planes that were also hijacked. The people who monitor the airplanes were the ones who realised that something wrong was going on. Once the terrorists had started to hijack plane '93', the monitors of those planes tried to get communication to the people on the plane; they tried to get communication to the pilots but they had been killed or injured. Also, those people were also trying to find where the hijacked planes were allocated so they could send other planes out to see what was happening. Therefore, the only people they had were the passengers on board who had the airplane phones by them. Some of the passengers would get messages through to their loved ones because they knew that their life was in jeopardy. The terrorists were either praying or wearing an explosive device. Passengers, on plane 93, tried to do as much as they could by fighting back the terrorists but they were all armed and was too scary - one did manage to get injured but there more controlling the plane. No one managed to survive on the planes.

This movie was made to show the audience that what happened on September 11th 2001 was really frightening and to show the audience that these many people had lost their lives including the people who were crushed in the 'twin towers'. Many people had lost their lives for no reason and had to pay between the fight that was going on between the Al-Quaida and the US government.

United 93 is a highly recommended movie as it shows the audience a lot of history that has happened across New York, Washington and other parts of the United States; How many people had lost their lives  and how much money was invested in order to pay for the damages.

BFI Trip Notes

What do UK/International audiences like about British films?

  • The like the fact that it's related to royalty
  • Escapism
  • Something different compared to blockbuster films
  • Crossover/prestige - Films that are based in this genre are mainly to do with documentaries, e.g. War films.
  • Multiplex - Films that have multiple genres
  • Vertigo
  • Warp Films
Producer
  • Spend around 4 years making the actual film
  • Have to do a lot of in depth research
  • Needs to find the right characters to play the role (also in depth)
Women In Black
  • British Horror movie 
  • Main protagonist is Daniel Radcliffe.
  • A huge British culture behind the scenes as it is using British characters and is based in Britain
  • Located in more of a Victorian based time
A Royal Night Out
  • More appealing to the non-British audience as they prefer to watch more Royal movies as it is something different compared to the ordinary Hollywood movies
  • However, British audiences will still be fond of it as it based on a country that they live in and some aspects of the movie can be linked to the audience as it is British/Monarchy based.
