Film Awards/Reviews

The nomination of awards is important for any film, if they show that they have been nominated to win a prize the audience is more likely to watch the film as its obviously of good quality.

Across Britain and The United States there are numerous movie awards, mentions and critique.

Examples: 

• BAFTA Awards
• Oscars
• Cannes Film Festival
• Evening Standard British Film Awards
• National Movie Awards
• London Film Festival
• Sundance Film Festival
• British Independent Film Awards

Reviews are also an important part of film, if theres good reviews from a newspaper or celebrity people are more likely to watch the film. Especially if its someone or something they look up to.

For our trailer we are going to use examples of this as it makes the film seem of higher quality, and shows that its been credited so more people are likely to view it.

We have decided to feature more independent films awards in our trailer because of our social realism genre.  Examples we could include are the British Independent Film Awards and Cannes Film Festivals, as these would be more realistic than being nominated for an Oscar.

Examples of films which have won in either the British Independent Film Awards or Cannes Film festivals include; The Tree of Life, The Pianist, We Need To Talk About Kevin and Senna.
