At the moment i am still writing up all of the results efficently, i am in the midst of considering printing out more questionnaires and handing them out to a specific crowd of people, who have seen all 4 films.

Questionare for primary research

Some question idea's.

'After watching Lord of the rings and Pans Labyrinth, which narrative was easier to grasp? And why? (hopefully people wont take the mick and make up answers)'

'European fantasy films have deeper characters than the american blockbuster fantasy films'
'out of 1 to 10, 10 agreeing the most, how much do you agree with this statement?

New final question i will be studying

To what extent do blockbuster fantasy films and independent fantasy films differ in regards to the narrative? Comparing and contrasting 'Devils Backbone' 'pans labyrinth' 'Lord of the rings - the two towers' 'Bridge to terabithia'


Cool eh

Critic views on blockbusters and independent films

I looked and compared interviews with Del Toro (directed pans labyrinth and devils backbone) and Peter jackson (lord of the rings)

I was looking for the critics view's in regards to the budgets they used, i noticed that in the interview with Del Toro there was much more focus on talking about the factor of money, and how he had to work around this, including giving up his own salary to finish pans labyrinth. Whilst in the Peter Jackson interview, there was talkings about his new house with two huge viewing rooms and a recording room what floats in the middle of the house, there was no talk about his budget in films, suggesting that he has to much money to have to stick within a small budget which all independent films have to.

Final Question i will be studying

Compare and Contrast the similarites and differences between huge blockbuster fantasy films, and small independent fantasy films.

I will be using some world cinema films, and some western cinema films. These include:

The Devils Backbon
Pans Labyrinth
Lord of the rings - The two towers
Pirates of the Carribean - Curse of the Black Pearl
Bridge to Terabithia

This selection of films will allow me to easily compare and contrast an extremly wide range of films, including huge blockbusters, and small independent films from around the world.

Things i will be using to compare and contrast:

*Story lines - If they are simple or complex depending on the target audience
*Gross profit - To determine which films made the most money, and were the made there money. This will help me conclude when talking about the Block Buster films.
*I will also provide a brief textual analysis of each film
*Implicit and Explicit messages portrayed, and what they are aimed at. This should show some clear differences between blockbuster and independent films. Or it could portray similarites.
