Film Four Ideology


Looking for Eric

Representation of Characters
The characters in "Looking for Eric" help to show film four ideology throughout the british orientated accents that we hear.
Representation of Places
The places shown within this film are based in lower class locations. In the first shot we seen in the trailer, we can denote very dull colors used within the house  and the atmosphere of the house gives a very British feel to how houses in the lower class would come across as when connoted.
British Cultural References
Football is a huge cultural reference when regarding the British culture. It is the main famous sport which Britain supports most strongly. With the characters finding a huge liking and influence and belief in the sport, it comes across for the film to be of a British feel. 
Hints at Typically Film Four Story Line
It is typical for a film four story line to include the idea of loosing connection and relationship with someones close family. 

Submarine

Representation of Characters
The characters in ''Submarine'' such as Oliver and his girlfriend both have British accents which helps to give the British representation within the film. Also the characters do not seem to have much emotions conveyed/denoted which could represent their lives to be plain in their surroundings. Also, their pale faces represent that they are not always in hot sun weather conditions which could represent their British living conditions. 
Representation of Places
This film is based in the UK. To be precised, the location is in the South of Wales. We are able to denote a beach at the beginning of the trailer which helps to connote the location used to produce this film.
British Cultural References
Mostly just the accent of the characters which supports the British culture of the film. The characters dress in uniform for school which is common for a British student to be seen as when attending it. British music is played throughout the trailer. 
Hints at Typically Film Four Story Line
The idea of lost connection within the family of the characters. 

Four Lions

Representation of Characters
The characters are represented as Muslim terrorists who are wanting to bomb selected areas/locations. 
They have British ghetto accents which represent their British background.  
Representation of Places
Some of the places were placed within Pakistan to help represent the characters and the story line of terrorism. They also show areas of Britain which audiences can be familiar to when watching this film. 
British Cultural References
The ghetto British accents of the characters help to represent the British cultural reference. 
Hints at Typically Film Four Story Line
In this film, there is not much of a typical story line from Film 4's representations. But throughout this story line of Four Lions, we as audience can denote and connote the risks in producing such a film about Muslim terrorists and Film 4 as a filming production company are well known in being confident with these type procedures of risks.
