Film Four Network

Film Four which is a branch from Channel 4 which also focus on the different aspects of film, even though the first glance at their main web page is generally focusing on their new up and coming productions and their movies which are being shown on television now, which are generally more feature films than short. Film Four have made it possible for people to watch films for free from any television in Britain which is helping the industries popularity as well as new writers and directors get noticed. As well as show older films to a new generation.

However if you click on the short films tab bar you will see that there is a lot of different variety within the films that they have produced and uploaded by others. People are again able to create profiles and upload their own footage and then share it with everyone, it gives people a chance to experience the industry more than they would have been able to before. They are also able to then gather feedback from other viewers and improve on their skills and techniques.

Having a large company under the branch such as Channel 4 meant they were able to advertise on television at different times. In 1998 they began to show small independent films which have now turned in to a feature film and short film epidemic. When FilmFour was first launched it was a paid channel through sky or satellite television however in 2006 the subscription ended and the service became free for people to use and watch.
