Hollywood Guardian article notes

Hollywood and tv put the squeeze on uk's low budget film makers 

    https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/may/31/hollywood-and-tv-put-the-squeeze-on-uks-low-budget-film-makers
  • The UK is a sombre case study for the mid-low budget film industry
  • The number of these low budget films fell from 77 to 60 between 2014-2015. This is the lowest number made since 2006, according to the BFI.
  • Domestic UK films
  • Small to mid sized co production
  • Hollywood studios 
  • Big budget dramas are being diversified on Netflix, sky and BBC.
  • UK film production companies to 'glossy dramas' 
  • There has always been a lot of pressure on smaller films, as it is a tough end of the market where there are not many successes. 
  • Although it is very challenging, it is even more difficult today due to big budget films doing so well as well as the pressure from high end TV.

      I think that the TV industry and Hollywood are heading towards more franchises and big budget films, rather than giving a chance to small budget production companies. This is due to the chance of small budget productions becoming big and successful are very limited, compared to big budget productions that are almost guaranteed to gain a good profit. As well as this, these high budget TV productions are being diversified across many big platforms, such as Netflix, sky and the BBC. This appeals to more of a mass audience, gaining more viewers and therefore more profit.
