Universal is one of the most profitable as well as respected distributors in the film industry. Universal creates and distributes theatrical and non theatrical filmed entertainment, with their company as well as producing, and directing direct-to- DVD titles. Therefore this company is very well suited for my film as they explore a wide variety of film genre's from Science fiction ( E.T.

Why is this film influential to our studies?
This film is influential to my studies as it is a sports drama, which our group is looking to produce ourselves. Therefore this film is highly influential as it shows the brutality and violence created from football matches within the UK, and how this affects people’s lives. This film is influential because the main characters within the film are of a similar age to those that will be starring in our film opening, therefore our group will be able to take inspiration from how the actors in Green Street portray the emotions and feelings of their characters. Furthermore, Green Street also includes numerous amount of footage from both outside and inside football stadiums within the UK, in London, which will help our group to be able to analyse how to create the best atmosphere from the shots taken of Gillingham’s Priestfield stadium in our own production. Finally, this film was not only filmed largely in the UK, but also co-produced in the UK- showing there is a market for the type of film we are looking to create, as well as having large distributors behind it to offer financial support, like that of Green Street, who had Universal Pictures, their UK distributor.
