Section A Practice Question

“What are some of the main factors that influence different kinds of film production today?”

There are many things that influence the type of films that get produced today; these include the production companies, actors, certifications and funding of the film.
       Referring to Item 1 of the resource material in Part A, the article shows how the five studios worked together to produce a variety of movies, using what’s popular and creating films around that. The two studios which produced 2015’s “Inside Out” were Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios, both of which came together to produce this movie. These well-known production companies are an example of how studios influence what type of films are produced as they are well known for animated movies which help to influence the types of movie which they would create.
       Another factor that would influence the type of film that is made is the actors involved in the film. Linking to Item 2, the report talks about how the film “Dallas Buyers Club” would not have been created if it weren’t for Matthew McConaughey joining the film. The article talks about how the film was declined and rejected 137 times before finally being made. The leading actors Léa Seydoux and Adéle Exarchopoulos in the film “Blue is the warmest colour” were cast almost instantly as the director thought they suited the roles.  Another example of this was from Disney’s “Inside Out” as animators based Anger off Lewis Black who eventually did voice the character. The actors who are involved in a film are an important factor in film production today.
