Section B: The British Film Industry

1) Films can be determined British by Actors, Production team and Location of Sets

2) Hollywood would have a high budget from their production, rely on the celebrities to sell the movie and are spectacle driven. British Context films would have a low budget and are character driven as well as having to rely on word of mouth as they may not be able to afford the advertisement fir the film.

3) James Bond started at 1962 with the debut film being Dr No

4) Sexual content was more present in films. As well as more extreme content that would be seen as having to have influenced teenagers to cause riots as well as an uprising of the Mods and Rockers. 

5)  Youths are often presented as dangerous people. This is also presented in the film A Clockwork Orange which has young characters causing chaos to reinforce this stereotype of young teenagers as troublesome. Women were also represented unfairly as they are represented as "either the virgin, the mother or the whore". The objectifying of women can be seen in am majority of of the James Bond films as they would generally be the damsel of distress in some situations. 

6) British Culture would be the audience appeal as it may make the audience feel that they can feel more related to the film's story. The British actors that would be present in the film can also establish a a connection between the two so that they could then find that narrative more interesting since this can link to their own lives. The British would also have an interest in narratives that relate to the  social class, strife, and the education.
