Why Britain needs a film industry
Jobs:
The British Film Industry supports many British people by supplying them with jobs and an income.
These jobs include: building, acting, painting, make-up, electrician, directing, costume designing, writing, advertising and many many more.
This is important to the British economy as if we relied on the American Film Industry we would have many unemployed and our economy would loose a lot of money. Also it would mean we would have to rely on America for our living.
Tourism:
Thousands of people a year come to walk round the British Film Industry, or places in which films have been made in Britain. E.g: People from Europe, America and other places (even people from the UK) have travelled quite far for a holiday or break just to visit Alnwick castle, where the Harry Potter films were set.
This provides many local businesses with money and an income, because B&B's, small hotels or other hospitable places get more business from the people visiting their areas.
They also come to see many new English actors, hoping to meet them or visit the places in which they grew up or were born. E.g: Some people visit Chester or West Kirby, as this is where Daniel Craig, star of the new Bourne films was born and went to school.
All this tourism is good for England and for other countries, as it opens everyone up to each other and other cultures. Bringing in tourism lets us not only make our businesses thrive, but also allows us to meet people from other cultures.
