working title is a company based in London who aim to bring good quality British cinema to the UK without the obvious restrictions that are seen on Warp. As such their films (while retaining some British elements) do have a more Hollywood look to them as they aim for large audiences in both the UK and the USA. Because of their connections with the states (being partially funded by Universal Studios) their budget is far higher than Warps at around £25,000,000 as opposed to Warps £1,000,000.
This budget is reflected in how their films look; Working Title can rely heavily on special effects and A list actors to draw their audiences in whereas Warp have to make do with what they afford (often to good effect.)
Both companies appear to aim their films at teenage to early 20 year old males, however this does not necessarily apply to all of their films.
Some well known examples of Working Title films are: Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, Atonement and James Bond.
Rather rushed and seemingly off the top of your head. Avoid speculating and generalisations like "both companies appear to aim their films at teenage to early 20 year old males, however this does not necessarily apply to all of their films"...evidence??? Inaccurate. If you include comments like this in an exam you will lose marks.
ReplyDeleteThe two recent Bond films were NOT made by Working Title but by MGM and Columbia!!! Patrick don't be slap dash.
Patrick in the trailer for Hot Fuzz there are no female characters at all......this is a clue to target audience...always illustrate points with references to research into film companies, audience and aspects of mise-en-scene.
