1-  A film is considered British if it is primarily produced, financed, or creatively controlled by UK-based companies or individuals, and meets official cultural or production criteria set by UK film bodies such as the British Film Institute. 2- Hollywood films are typically made with very large budgets, rely heavily on star actors, and focus on spectacle-driven, high-concept storytelling aimed at global audiences.

My clip From the start of the scene, the mise-en-scène establishes a clear sense of conflict and disruption. Such as the corner shop combined with props such as guns and food seen around the shop, which immediately connotes criminality and danger in a casual setting . This environment reflects a familiar everyday life landscape, allowing the audience to quickly recognise the stakes of the situation. According to  Lévi-Strauss’s theory of binary oppositions , narratives are structured around opposing forces .
