2nd attempt at summary of group work

In our group work we researched a US film ("The Dark Knight") and a UK film ("Cashback"). The amount we found out varied greatly between the films. "The Dark Knight" is a huge Hollywood blockbuster film so we expected a huge amount of information about it including advertising, gross intake and production companies used which we found out. Their marketing went as far as setting up a website (WhySoSerious.com) which slowly revealed elemnets of the film. Being a UK film we didn't expect much information about "Cashback" and we were right. The budget was low as was the marketing and the production companies used. The production companies in the "Dark Knight" were Warner Bros, Legdendary Pictures, DC Comics and Syncopy. The production companies with "Cashback" included Left Turn Films, Lipsync Productions and Ugly Duckling Films. Compared to a huge production company like Warner Bros., Ugly Duckling Productions are relatively uknown as they have less money and therefore can't support as many films. "Cashback" was shown at several film festivals while "Dark Knight" was shown at hardly any. This is unusual as you would think that the high budget film would have been shown at more film feastivals than the low budget ones. In conclusion we compared a high budget USA film and low budget UK film and saw great comparisons.
