Film Funding - this is funding given my companies such as BFI who invest in the film. This funding covers all aspects of the actual film, for instance the planning (e.g. script writing), filming, editing etc... This is a vital fund as it helps the film to get going.
Innovation Funding - this works with the 'film funding' as it works across all areas of production. As well as that it helps the film company to develop its investors, market, distributors, audience, delivery platforms and research.
Print and Advertising Fund - this fund has been set up to help non-mainstream films produced to access a larger target audience through making their title more known about in order to increase their overall viewing. BFI has funded such films as: Another Year, Animal Kingdom, The Skin I Live In etc... In 2010 they helped 355 specialized films, this is 65% of the films shown in UK cinemas throughout this year.
Film Export Fund - this gives films the opportunity to be showcased in important film festivals. This would provide a huge platform for international sales. This fund helps the film company to cope with such advertising as well as the technical requirements for such a thing. The BFI are involved in this mainly to promote the UK film industry and the talent that it has.
