Production issues for "The Kings Speech" & "Tintin".


Where did the money come from? Where there any issues with getting backing?

The money towards the making of the films came from both sponsers, production companies and distributors.


Who financed it? One group or many? what was in it for them?

Establish the production issues of your case study:

Genre – is it a hybrid? Explain why
The Kings speech is a hybrid as it has two sets of genres

• Drama
• Historical.

Who are the target audiences?

I think that the target audience for the Kings speech is between the age range of 40-70,  or people that are interested in the royal family and english history.


Play the opening of the film. What important institutional information are you given in the opening credits? Who are the significant personnel? Why?





Was it niche or mainstream film? Did this change?

The director of the kings speak is Tom Hooper.

My view!

Out of all the reasons i think that the "second reason" is the main one, as i feel it relates to all kind off people helping them feel included in the film and not just as memebers of the royal family and shows them that no matter how hard a challenge is you can always overcome it.

The King's speech.

Reasons why the King's speech was so successful at selling out at the box-office night by night :

1. Its a conservative film.
2. The King’s Speech’ shows simple human goodness and the triumph of individual perseverance in the face of the most terrible adversity.
3. A powerful reminder of the sense of national duty and service that the core of the British royal family has remained wedded to for generations.

I found that the King's speech was so successful at the box-office as it was described as a  "unqualified must see".
Some critics viewed it as "powerful, hilarious and deeply moving story, told against the backdrop of a critical juncture in modern history".
