Film4 Media institutions

Film4 is a free digital television channel for the UK and Republic Of Ireland. It is operated and owned by Channel 4. Film4 launched on 1st November 1998. The channel has themed nights or seasons in which a number of films centred around one genre, director or actor are shown. This allows the audience figures to grow because different people might want to watch selected films because they are a fan of the genre, actors etc.They have produced a list of films such as: 127 Hours, A Room With A View, Dead Mans Shoes, Elizabeth, Four Weddings and a funeral, My Beautiful Laundrette and many more.
The company's first production was Walter, directed by Stephen Frears, which was released in 1982.
They produce the films they do because they want to attract different audiences whether it be different age groups, gender or those with different interests. As I can see above they have produced a few films with different genres to allow those who love horror,thriller, rom-com etc.

Film4 develops and co-finances films which can suggest how they produce the films; because they are dealing with the financial issues of the films. This therefore allows them to have an input which is what produces do, they have an imput on the film.
