Independent Vs Mainstream

Film Comparison


Mainstream vs independent film comparison from campoccioantonio

Evaluation

The comparison between my chosen films suggest there are many differences between mainstream and independent films. The largest difference between the two types is budget and money made from the film. Mainstream films are evidently costly to produce therefore it is vital that this money is regained through international ticket sales and home entertainment. Color force, a production company was founded in 2007 and has since produced four Hunger Game films and three Diary of a Wimpy Kid films. These films attract a young target audience from the ages of 8 - 35, implying that mainstream film generally appeal to a younger audience.

On the other hand, the independent film, Kidulthood was produced by Stealth Films which is a private limited company based in London. In result the budget totaled to £600,000 which is less than one percent of the cost of producing The Hunger Games. Stealth Films ltd have also produced one other drama series based in London called West 10 LDN, made in 2008. This suggests that Stealth Films intend to inform their audience about living in the roughest parts of London.
