BFI notes

Woman in black
A horror movie based on a popular British novel. This would be widely appealing as it is set in the genre of a Gothic horror, with a very huge influence of British culture within the film, which in turn is appealing to both an international and British audience. This is evident through the use of the Victorian-esque locations, and costumes.

One day
An urban fairytale which has the typical conventions of a romance film. The appeal to a British audience is the fact that the main characters are typically from British backgrounds and cultures and thus the characters are easily relatable for the audience. The urban fairytale also focus heavily on the settings and locations, which in turn invokes the idea of tourism and promotes it thoroughly.
