15. How do British Films attract audiences?
British films typically tend to target a specific target
audience so it is unique for them. This is due to the
fact that most british films are based on a low
budget therefore the film has to target a specific
audience and gain a cliché audience otherwise the
film wont gain many viewers because it wont
attract various people down to it’s A list actors and
amazing graphics because british films typically
don’t have the financial capability to achieve that.

16. How are they different from
Hollywood blockbusters?
• Don’t typically include A list actors
• Low budget compared to Hollywood films
massive budget
• Lower quality of filming
• More unique and not mainstream
• Cliché audience
