Research task

The Hollywood blockbuster film I have chosen was Black Swan as it is a new film that has attracted many good reviews and is a Drama so it would attract a wide audience because it has suspension, tension and keeps the audience at the edge of there seat. The idea of the film was written by Mark Heyman and was screen played by Andres Heinz. He developed the concept by himself but Andres also developed the idea. The idea came from the well known pressures and expectations that are associated with the dancing profession, especially ballet. Thomas Leroy, the artistic director of a New York City ballet company, is mounting Swan Lake as the company's next production. I believe the original script was written by Fox Searchlight Pictures. the production companies were fox searchlight pictures and phoenix pictures are two of the biggest Hollywood production companies as fox has its own channel in America and produces many great films. The director was Darren Aronofsky, and the producer was tom Paul.

The locations where the film was shot are Bowling Green, Lower Manhattan, Manhattan, New York City, New York, the concert hall, performing arts centre, purchase college, State university of New York at purchase. Woodhull medical and mental health centre Brooklyn New York. There were no problems with the cast of the movie, in fact Natalie Portman recommended her friend Mila Kunis or the role of Lily after learning that she was a good dancer. The films budget was estimated at $13,000,000 and it gained $83,250,375
