Coursework: Statement of Intent

I intend to meet the brief of appealing to Britain's elite by the title of my lifestyle magazine being 'London Luxury' which symbolises materialism.

Independent films are very different to Hollywood blockbusters like Black Widow. The style of ‘indie’ films is very different to Hollywood blockbusters, as the directors and producers have more creative input – it’s being made in their vision, not in the vision of studio bosses. 2) What is I, Daniel Blake about?  The main character, Daniel Blake, 59, who has worked as a joiner most of his life in the North East of England needs help from the State for the first time ever following an illness.
