Pre-production: The worlds End

Starting off as an idea created by Edgar wright at the age of 21, In which a group of young guys go on a pub crawl, he later realised that the concept would work better with adults who are returning to their old home town.

The ideas behind the film were to take the idea of “feeling alienated in your own home town” too literally and ending up with a sci-fi.

Production of the film

Principal photography for The World's End began on 28 September 2012. Filming took place in Hertfordshire, at Elstree Studios, Letchworth Garden City, and Welwyn

Garden City. Part of the film was also shot at High Wycombe railway station, Buckinghamshire. Production started with the collection of the cast, made easier by the fact that they are all actual

childhood friends. Similar to the other cornetto trilogy films that feature a similar cast. Compared to the other cornetto films, it is clear that there was a vast amount more technology

used in the films creation, probably due to Edgar’s involvement in Scott Pilgrim Vs the world. What has not changed is Edgar and Simon’s passion for the film, and the extraordinary detail that

goes into it. Filming ended on 22 December 2012.

Distribution

Like most British films, the act of distributing a film has gone to a large American company (universal pictures). This has meant that global success was achieved, but the film was also accompanied by the reputation that Edgar Wright has developed since Shaun of the dead (possible the best zombie comedy of all time)

Due to the film’s mainstream success, it was shown at all major cinema companies

Advertisement The film was

advertised through the use of posters and trailers like most films.

This appears to have been the major way in which the film was advertised as, like most British films, commercial devices like toys and internet campaigns is left to the American films.

trailers Unlike the Lego movie, there were few trailers released in the

end. And these were long, descriptive trailers that gave us the plot synopsis almost instantly.

Exhibition The film was shown in almost all UK mainstream cinema’s due to

the predicted demand. The film was first shown at Empire cinema for it’s premier 9 days before it’s official release date on the 19th of July. The premier was greatly successful.

The film was very popular with the fan-base that Edgar had, although some people (not critics) think that he ended his trilogy poorly with too much repetition. Company Review (out of 100)

Due to the film’s mainstream success, it was shown at all major cinema companies and made an decent $46,089,287.

Exchange

The movie itself has been

- Technology is not a key factor in the films success and in fact was not altogether that impressive.

- As any Edgar Wright film now does, there is a cult following that will always be willing to attend the cinema to watch a film of his.

- The rating of the film was 15+ the same as his other cornetto films.

Technology and audience

Technology is key to the films success and in-fact the film would be at a massive loss without it.

Having come from such a well known brand, the Lego movie developed large success from all audiences, as it is a film that anyone who had a childhood can enjoy.
