In order to complete this research task, we had to research the production of two very differently produced films. One high profile, expensively produced Hollywood film and the other, a low budget British Indie film, in order to see a comparison between the amount of money spent on a film and the quality of the end product.

There were 10 different productions features that we had to research into for each movie and they were:

• Producer
• Director and Screenwriter
• Production company
• Original property
• Cast
• Budget
• The trailer (then embed it)
• Genre
• Key Crew
• Production features

For my analysis of a Hollywood film, I chose ‘The Girl on the Train’, a newly released Hollywood thriller as I was very interested to see the budget of this new blockbuster and who was involved in the making of it. Then for the Indie film, I researched the independent film ‘Denial‘,  interested in the Key production features that they managed to include and how much could go into this film on a lower budget.

My research of the production features of the two films are linked to their corresponding movie posters above.
