Assignment 26.2 Old to new films



Assignment 26.2 Old films to new films
Sean Moynehan 



In this report i am going to be comparing two films and I will be discussing the directors and producers and the budget for both films and other things like where the money for the film came from and the funding bodies and which production houses produced the films, wether the films are independent or mainstream, the technologies used to create the film and what cinemas showed the films, wether the films were shown worldwide or just in the UK and the certificate the film received. 

Two films that I'm going to be comparing are:

The Intent Poster
  • The intent
  • The intent 2 

The Intent

The intent is a film based in England that was released in 2016 and is based on gang violence with the UK. The intent has two directors who are: 

Femi Oyeniran and Kalvadour Peterson. 

 Femi Oyeniran also produced the film along with Nicky Slimting Walker. The film had a five figure budget. The funding for the intent came from Netflix. The Production Companies that helped to produce the intent are:

  • PurpleGeko Productions
  • It's Alot Productions
  • Nicki SlimTing Films

The distributors that helped to promote the film are:


  • Netflix (2017) (Australia) (video) (VOD)

Other Companies that helped produces and promote the film are:



  • Independent Drama (action services)
  • Independent Drama (armoury services)
  • Sound Directors (post-production sound) (as The Sound Directors)

The Intent films are independent films, They were helped by Netflix as their funding body.
CGI is used within The Intent many times during gun fights within the film this helps the film to look better and have unique scenes that would be hard to create with a camera and therefore is easier to produce via CGI. Netflix helped to distribute the film across the world but the film got the most views in places like England and Australia. The intent was not shown in cinemas but was previewed on Netflix. The Intent fits into the genres of crime and drama. The film was given the certificate of 15 in the UK and Australia it received this certificate because it has many scenes that involve drugs, gun violence and crimes taking place. The film is part of a series of films and was followed by The Intent 2: The come up. Island Records is the company that helped to create The Intent.

The Intent 2: The come up


The Intent 2 is a film that was released in 2018 and is a continuation from the first film The Intent. After The Intent was a big hit within the UK and Australia directors and writers Femi Oyeniran and Nicky slimting walker decided that a second film was to be made the reason that The Intent was such a hit within the UK was because that many teens and young adults within the UK felt that the film was relatable to the struggle of middle class peoples everyday lives within the UK. 

The Second film in the series received a lower star rating than The Intent only achieving a 3.5 out of 10 from reviews on IMDB. The budget for the Film is currently unknown but the funding body Netflix helped to produce the film. 

The Film was an international production whilst being based in the UK the film also had a majority of scenes filmed in Jamaica and also based there. many different technologies were used in the production of The Intent 2 such as drones and CGI shots that couldn't be captured with a regular camera because the shots just wouldn't be possible. 

The film is also another independent film. The film was shown in over 5000 different cinemas within the UK and made over $500,000 at box office, cinemas such as VUE, Odeon, Showcase cinemas and Cineworld aired the film on release date.

Stars within the film helped to promote the film over social media and many promotional adverts were shown before the day of release around the UK. The film received certificate of 15 in the UK it was given this certificate for the same reasons as the first film in the series The Intent as it has many scenes involving guns, violence and drugs so many scenes may not be fit for underage viewers to see. The film fits into the genre of crime and drama island records werer the production company that produced both films.

                              Film Studies - unit 26  Task 1 short description of these terms and an example film of each: genre analysis - genre analysis is important so we have an understanding of the type of film the audience is watching. For example Charlie and the Chocolate factory is a fantasy film we can understand this when we are introduced to a lot of imaginary sweets. content analysis - content analysis is the deconstruction of a piece of media so you can understand what is going on in a better way. For example in Charlie and the Chocolate factory there is a sweets and things that would grab the attention of children so therefore kids are more likely to want to go and see the film.    narrative analysis - narrative analysis is a way of understanding the the story is being told to have a better understanding of whats going on.

26.1 The Theory of Films (Unit 26: Film Studies) In this report, I am going to be analysing two different films and also talking about the two different directors that made these films and the film theories they use within their films. The directors I am going to be talking about are: Tim Burton Ridley Scott  Two films I am going to be analysing are: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) Thelma and Louise (1991) In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Tim Burton uses auteur theory as he does in many of his other films. This means that Tim likes to use the same actors in many different films because a friendly relationship has been established between actor and director. In Thelma and Louise, Ridley Scott uses the theory of feminism within the film, feminist theory is the theory that everybody no matter sex should be equal in all categories such as in the workplace and the feminist theory also strives to achieve social equality for women and men.
