    A Book History Study of Michael Radford’s Filmic Production William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS of RHODES UNIVERSITY by BRYONY ROSE HUMPHRIES GREEN March 2008 ABSTRACT Falling within the ambit of the Department of English Literature but with interdisciplinary scope and method, the research undertaken in this thesis examines Michael Radford’s 2004 film production William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice using the Book History approach to textual study. Previously applied almost exclusively to the study of books, Book History examines the text in terms of both its medium and its content, bringing together bibliographical, literary and historical approaches to the study of books within one theoretical paradigm. My research extends this interdisciplinary approach into the filmic medium by using a modified version of Robert Darnton’s “communication circuit” to examine the process of transmission of this Shakespearean film adaptation from creation to reception. The research is not intended as a complete Book History study and even less as a comprehensive investigation of William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice . Rather, it uses a Shakespearean case study to bring together the two previously discrete fields of Book History and filmic investigation. Drawing on film studies, literary concepts, cultural and media studies, modern management theory as well as reception theories and with the use of both quantitative and qualitative data, I show Book History to be an eminently useful and constructive approach to the study of film. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to thank the Mandela Rhodes Foundation for the funding that allowed me to undertake a Master’s degree.

  • We Need to Talk About Subsidy: Television and the UK Film Industry – a Thirty-Year Relationship
    We Need To Talk About Subsidy: Television and the UK film industry – a thirty-year relationship. I want to conclude this panel by taking a broader perspective on the concept of film subsidy, as deployed by Film4 and BBC Films, respectively the film production arms of the UK’s major public broadcasters Channel 4 and the BBC. As well as indicating the distinctive features of this model within the economic structure of the UK film industry, the paper will offer some consideration of the kind of film product these interventions has tended to produce. It will conclude with an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of what I want to call the cultural subsidy model of film production, and raise some general questions arising from the relationship between the film and television industries. In 2010, having been producing feature films in one form or another for twenty years, the BBC (the UK’s unique flagship PSB), produced its first explicit film strategy: ‘There are three principal public sector bodies which support film: BBC Films, Film4 (part of Channel 4) and UK Film Council (UKFC) (now merged with BFI)… This set up has provided the British film industry with stability and plurality which has been very important in the development and sustainability of the industry over the last decade’ (BBC Films Strategy, 2010). The confidence with which it trumpeted its own role in contributing ‘stability and plurality’ to the British film industry belied its protracted soul-searching about whether cinema was something the licence fee should really be spent on. Long-held anxiety within the Corporation that the licence levied on every household that owns a TV set should be spent on television content rather than movies the public has to pay again to see at the cinema, characterised the BBC’s ambivalence about following the film sponsorship model pioneered by Channel 4 from 1982.

    The Finance and Production of Independent Film and Television in the UK: A Critical Introduction Vital Statistics General Population: 64.1m Size: 241.9 km sq GDP: £1.9tr (€2.1tr) Film1 Market share of UK independent films in 2015: 10.5% Number of feature films produced: 201 Average visits to cinema per person per year: 2.7 Production spend per year: £1.4m (€1.6) TV2 Audience share of the main publicly-funded PSB (BBC): 72% Production spend by PSBs: £2.5bn (€3.2bn) Production spend by commercial channels (excluding sport): £350m (€387m) Time spent watching television per day: 193 minutes (3hrs 13 minutes) Introduction This chapter provides an overview of independent film and television production in the UK. Despite the unprecedented levels of convergence that characterise the digital era, the UK film and television industries remain distinct for several reasons. The film industry is small and fragmented, divided across the two opposing sources of support on which it depends: large but uncontrollable levels of ‘inward-investment’ – money invested in the UK from overseas – mainly from the US, and low levels of public subsidy. By comparison, the television industry is large and diverse, its relative stability underpinned by a long-standing infrastructure of 1 Sources: BFI 2016: 10; ‘The Box Office 2015’ [market share of UK indie films] ; BFI 2016: 6; ‘Exhibition’ [cinema visits per per person]; BFI 2016: 6; ‘Exhibition’ [average visits per person]; BFI 2016: 3; ‘Screen Sector Production’ [production spend per year]. 2 Sources: Oliver & Ohlbaum 2016: 68 [PSB audience share]; Ofcom 2015a: 3 [PSB production spend]; Ofcom 2015a: 8.

  • North West Leicestershire District Council List of Local Heritage
    North West Leicestershire District Council APPENDIX 1 List of Local Heritage Assets Recreational buildings Discussion document Disclaimer Please note that the inclusion of any building in this discussion document does not mean that the building or its grounds are open to the public. Many of these buildings are private homes or businesses, so please respect the occupiers’ privacy. Historic England has published a listing selection guide for Culture and entertainment buildings (2017). It has published guidance on Gentlemen’s clubs and masonic lodges as part of its selection guide for Commerce and exchange buildings (2017). The Council has adopted Criteria for identifying local heritage assets (2016). This discussion document examines the selection guides in a local context and offers recommendations for local listing. Cinemas According to Historic England, cinemas “emerged almost overnight” following the 1909 Cinematograph Act. In the late 1920s there was “major change” led by “the emergence of the large cinema chains”. Historic England advises that cinemas erected before 1914 are generally considered suitable for listing, subject to “a surviving exterior” and “particularly good decoration”. For later cinemas, “architectural quality and extent of alteration will be key considerations”. At Ibstock the ‘Palace’ was designed by Goddard & Wain and opened in December 1912. It is the only cinema in the district erected before 1914 and for this reason it is considered suitable for addition to the local list. At Ashby the former Wagon & Horses PH was altered in 1912 to form the ‘Lyric’; it closed in 1927 (Jones, 2012). The building is grade II listed. At Measham the ‘Empire’ was erected in 1932 on the site of an earlier cinema (Elliott, 1992); it does not exhibit “architectural quality” and it is not considered suitable for addition to the local list.

Its rich figures and the spectacular flutters with fortune which lie behind (hem, are, however, as near as we can make it, the truth of the matter. The story itself was published in outUne in the January number of World Film Xews and not the least ardent of its readers was the intelligence section of one of the bipger banks concerned. Within a week came the news that the lavish credits till now advanced to the film industry, were to be brought under review. It may, therefore, be a useful moment to publish the full account from which the World Film Xews' story was taken. It is the work of the Film Council, a small research group, which a few enquiring members of the film industry set up some months ago to study the social aspects of the cinema. We felt a lack in the information trotted out, and often very ably, in the trade papers, fan magazines and film columns of the newspapers.
