BLINDED BY THE LIGHT● Genre = feel good / Rites of passage (Passage gives narrative thrust) / Coming of
age
- ‘Predictable pleasures’ ‘generic conventions’
- Minimizes risk as it reaches mass audiences, appealing to all ages and
genres.
● Shot on SD card = lower production costs and easier to edit
● Shot in places real people were present = social realist feel
● bricolage/homage of ‘Greetings from Ashbury Park’
● BFI film fund supports independent films by financing them using national lottery
money to enter their films into film festivals
● Independent companies are not vertically integrated and therefore need to
partner up with other companies. This spreads costs to other companies as films
are expensive to produce and reduce the financial impact if text fails.
Additionally, they get to share resources and expertise.
- BBTL was showcased at the sundance film festival in 2019 which allows
independent filmmakers to showcase films to critics and distributors
- Newline (a conglomerate of warner bros) - office funds independent films
which support unrepresented people in society
- Leveltine being part of the production process means that they give
blinded by the light an air of quality and more publicity due to previous
successful films (Hidden figures)
- Levantine Films ‘character driven’
● Star power: market trader (Rob Bryson and Bruce Springsteen)
- Reduces risk as cumulates loyal fan base
- Bruce gave his music at a significantly low fee however, he is able to
receive additional revenue through the soundtracks released
- Frequently mentioned in the forms of hashtags and tagging on posts to
attract fans to film
- Although it comments on issues of racial discrimination (civic model) the
use of Bruce Springsteen's music will appeal to the audience
● Promotion:
- One show - not in depth - informal - consumer
