Difference between an art house and blockbuster movie.

An art house film is a film that is made with a small budget and for a niche market audience. Because of its low budget the movie doesn’t need a lot of viewers to become financially viable. It is mainly decided how many viewers there will be by columnists and bloggers because there isn’t any money for marketing campaigns . This of course also means that these art house films aren’t made with a lot of special effects, costly celebrity actors or any other expensive stuff. The art house films are produced for the people who know something about film making and know what’s needed for a good movie only they can really appreciate such a film. These sort of films aren’t shown in just any kind of theatre only a small amount of theatres show these films and they are also often shown at film festivals. Famous art house films are Andrei Rublev and a clockwork orange.

A blockbuster film is a film that is made for entertainment purposes and for mass market audience. It is made with A ranked stars which get paid a lot to play in such film. A lot of money is spend to make the blockbuster film look real and the blockbuster films have huge marketing campaigns. This is really attractive for a lot of people. They want to see such a movie because it looks good and the story seems fun. Most of the people don’t even look at how it’s thought out and made when the spectators of art house films do. Blockbusters need a lot of spectators to make profit because they’ve invested a lot of money in it. So they are shown in almost all movie theaters  around the country to get as much spectators as they can. Almost all blockbuster films are popular and known by everyone but probably the most famous are avatar, titanic, the dark knight and  pirates of the Caribbean.

One has high budged one low. One is made for market audience and the other for niche market audience. Art house and blockbuster film are actually opposites I think.
