Love Actually is a British romantic comedy film written and directed by Richard Curtis. The theme of the film is about people falling in love, falling out of love some are with right people, some are with the wrong people, some are looking to have an affair, some are in the period of mourning. Love Actually is made in London, showing the lives of middle class people whose jobs are usually doing banking and sales. This film is made by London and it is also a representation of London because of the places it was set. Here are a few examples:

Millenium Bridge, London

Number 10 Downing Street

Selfridges London

Love Actually is a British film as it has British financing and the majority of the cast and crew are British including the writer and the director. The ideology builds up to a Christmas theme which suggests the British culture and commercialisation. The film is set and filmed in Central London with all the British traditions as it is the capital. However Ant and Dec are actors in the film. This relates to reality of British television, as the two typical, well known British presenters. There is a scene in the film which shows that families are going to the primary school to see their children displays another British tradition that relates to reality.

This scene was shot in Somerfield Supermarket, here we see Nicholas Angel tackle a shop lifter in a way that only Nicholas Angel would.

This scene was shot in Market Square .Market Square was the most used location in Hot Fuzz. It plays home to the newsagent where Nicholas Angel and Danny Butterman shop. It's also where most of the finale scenes were filmed.

‘Hot Fuzz’ is a British comedy parody film directed by Edgar Wright, written by Wright and Simon Pegg. In my opinion I think that the theme of the film is how good and determined a cop can clean up even a thoroughly corrupt community, even if it takes extreme measures. The classic theme is good vs. evil. The external shots of Hot Fuzz were set in Somerset in the UK. Hot Fuzz is mainly set in a country village which is British because in the film we see white middle class people with conservatives values. However this British film does not show the real life in Britain. This is because we see people who have way too much power and are in strong control over one another, but in real life in Britain no one has too much power and not everyone carries guns whereas in Hot Fuzz everyone seems in charge, everyone has guns on them and are ready fight.

When a British audience watches this film, they will automatically see that it is set in the UK and is British because of the main actors who are Simon Pegg and Nick Frost because they are English actors. They will also think it is British because of the way the film is set out for example the location settings and the costume for example a police officers costume in England would ne different to a police officers costume in America.

‘71’ is a British historical action film set in Northern Ireland. The film is directed by Yann Demange. The main star of this film Jack O’Connell. It tells the story of a British soldier who get’s left behind by his unit during a riot in Belfast at the height of the troubles in 1971. 71 was filmed in Sheffield home to production company Warp Films, at multiple locations including the landmark Park Hill Flats, which also feature in This Is England ‘86. ‘71 also filmed in Leeds, making use of the period housing in Hyde Park and Beeston to double for Belfast; additional scenes were shot in Liverpooland Blackburn. Locations for 71 were sourced by Creative England who also worked with the production to secure filming permissions and regional crew. This British film does show how the true life of Britain was because of the Belfast riots that took place. This film is based on Robert Curtis who became the first British soldier to die in the Troubles when he was shot by the IRA on New Lodge Road, Belfast. As a result from this British soldiers shot dead two Catholic civilians in Free Derry. So then riots erupted in the city. So as an audience we can tell that when we watch the film that it is about the Belfast riots in 1971.

These are two scenes that were set in Belfast. The first one was set in a row of streets in Blackburn were transformed into the Northern Ireland city.

A British audience will be able to tell that this film is British because of the way the characters are dressed, how the script is treated or also by a generic profile.

Dead Man’s Shoes is a British Psychological thriller film, written and directed by Shane Meadows and co written by Paddy Considine who also starred as the lead role. The film was set in Matlock, Derbyshire, England UK. So by knowing where it was set we can tell it is a British made film. This film is about two brothers who return to the home town they left years before. They are close, but very different: Richard is strong and purposeful, Anthony younger, more hesitant. Everything Richard does, Anthony innocently mimics. He is slightly retarded and completely in awe of his brother, who in turn is very protective of him. They set up camp in the hills overlooking the town, reminiscing over their shared past. But they're not here to reminisce. Richard is here for revenge to get even with the thugs who brutalized his mentally challenged brother years ago.

I think that a British audience will know that this film is British. This is because the film focuses on people who are working class and people who have little money. This shows the harsh realities in Britain.
