the dark knight: it had a budget of 180m , budget can affect how and where a movie is filmed. most of the film was filmed in chicago but they also had to have sets made and filmed in pinewood studios in london which they could afford, it also effects the special effects that were used in the film becuase there was a high budget the effects and equipment they could use for the special effects were top of the range such as an imax camera to film some sequences .it also allowed them to be able to afford big stars such as heath ledger and christian bale also they could afford to hire big name directors and script writeres such as christopher nolan. the dark dark knight used 100m to adevrtise teh film as well as using traditional methods such as posters and trailers they also used different methods; they used hidden images and confusing campaigns across the internet disguising the film adverts without people knowing what they mneant and everytime a person sigend up to the harvey dent campaign they removed and changed pictures.
they also used there big name stars on posters to promote the film after heath ledgers death they stopped using his image but after news of how good his acting was in the film leaked they used his image again to skyrocket peoples interests
they also tried to generate peoples interst in the film in the trailers by not showing the joker etc and just allowing us to here his voice.
becuase teh film is funded by a big comapny such as wwarner brothers that is where a majority of the funding came from
hot fuzz: hot fuzz had a budget of 8million and was made working title films which is owend by universal. the budget limited them to som degree becuase it affected where the film would be set, they couldnt afford to travel or have sets made for them so the movie was filmed on location upon well, the effects in the film were limited as well there wasnt any imax camera sequences etc they however did edit a church out of the scenes and used simple fairly simple technology. the budget also affected what stars were in the film there were no major hollywood block buster stars but the budget allowed them to get british stars such as simon pegg and nick frost, the budget also allowed them to get edgar wright to direct their movie who made other british hits such as shaun of the dead also starring simon pegg and nick frost. the budget also affected their promotional campaigns they couldnt afford big tactics like the promotional campaign of harvey dent the the dark knight used, they used more traditional campaigns such as posters which resembled the bad boys posters.
the also used trailers and attended conventions and interview to promote the film
they did however use different types of promotion on the working title website you could watch video blogs of the film being made and had interviews etc which helped genearte interest, they also attened the premier of the film by police escort and blue carpet instead of the traditional red carpets.
the financial backing of this film waslargely have been from universal studios however becuase working title only get a limited amoount of financal backing from universal they got some from other companies such as vauxhaul who provided cars etc for the movie.
this is england: this had a budget of 1.5million, this had a big impoact on where the movie was filmed it had no created sets and was largely filmed in nottigham on location they used very simple technology no special affects just traditional and yorkshiretechnology. the budget affectred the actors and director of the film, most of the films actors were unheard of thomas turgoose and joe gilgun, aswell as shane meadows the director who was relatively un heaard of before the film.
the film had such a low budget becuase it was made by small briiths companies; film four and warp films , they got alot of finacial backing from film four and yorkshire films.
due to the small budget there was no off the wall or different sty;es of promotion it was the traditional posters, trailers, interviews etc.
