My British case study

The British film I have chosen to do my case study on is, Harry Brown (2009). It's a British film, that portrays the violence and corruption on the streets of the UK, through the view of an ex-military, widower.
The production company for Harry Brown is Marv Films and the UK Film Council. It's also in association with: Hanway films, Prescience Film fund and Framestore. The budget for the film was estimated at $7,300,000. The film was released in 2009, and it is a British film. It features British characters and is overall based on the streets of Britain. The director of the film is Daniel Barber, who is a British actor based out of London, which is relevant to the film.
The equipment used Sony CineAlta F35, Zeiss Master Prime and Angenieux Optimo Lense Sony DCR-PC2E. The budget for the film is relatively low, compared to what you would see for a American film. However due to the British film industry lacking more compared to the American film industry this is, an average amount of money spend on a British film. On the opening weekend Harry Brown made £1,271,814, this was over 351 screens, however in America it only made $173,353 this was only shown over 19 screens. 
Harry Brown was marketed in many ways, using social media and the internet, but also TV trailers. Actors such as Plan B who is featured in the film, advertised it on many of their social media accounts keeping fans updated. However the film was also marketed through the actors, Michael Caine is a massive notorious actor who has won many awards, as well as being in well known films. 
The film was also advertised at the 2009 Toronto International Film festival, where it had its own "special presentation." The film was distributed by Lionsgate UK.
