Introduction:
Founder: Michael Koch
•

Entertainment One, Ltd., also known as eOne, is an entertainment corporation operating in the United
States, Canada, the UK, Spain, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia and New Zealand.

•

Entertainment One began operations in 1973 in Ontario, Canada, as Records on Wheels Limited (‘ROW’),
founded and operated by Vito Ierullo and Don Ierullo, focusing on retail sales of recorded music. In the late
1970s, ROW began to distribute recorded music for third-party retailers in Canada. For more than 20
years, entertainment content distribution became ROW’s primary focus as the company expanded into
video, purchasing one of Canada’s largest home entertainment distributors, Video One Canada. In
November 2003, ROW listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange as ROW Entertainment Income Fund. It
changed its name to Entertainment One Income Fund. The role of Chief Executive Officer of Entertainment
One Income Fund was given to the current CEO of eOne by Vito Ierullo.

•

In June 2005, Entertainment One Income Fund acquired Koch Entertainment, North America’s largest
independent music label and a large U.S. distributor of home-entertainment products. The combined
company, renamed Entertainment One (a.k.a. eOne), had a comprehensive U.S.-Canadian distribution
network and began acquiring rights for specialty content. In 2007, in a move to fund expansion into
independent, feature-film distribution and rights ownership, eOne's investors accepted a private equity
takeover by a unit of UK-based Marwyn Investment Management valued at $188 million and listed on
London’s Alternative Investment Market.

Pre-Production:
Where the story came from:
BRINGING DIANA'S STORY TO THE SCREEN
The idea for DIANA was generated in-house at Ecosse Films several years ago. The
story the filmmakers wanted to tell was the love story between Diana and Dr. Hasnat Khan, a
British Pakistani heart surgeon. "It seemed to us that it was the key to understanding the last
two years of her life," says Bernstein. Although the producers knew they wanted to make the
movie, they weren't confident they could take it forward into development until the inquests
had taken place into Diana's death. At the inquest, Khan went on record confirming he had
had a relationship with Diana. "He went into quite a bit of dignified detail, which was
extremely helpful to us in terms of deciding that that period in her life was now history,"
explains Bernstein. "We decided now we could interpret that and make a film based on
facts."
From the outset, Bernstein wasn't interested in making a typical biopic about Diana.
They set about to make a film that focused on who Diana became in those last two years,
rather than on the tragedy of how she died. "If you're looking at a famous person's life you
have to consolidate it into a specific time period and through a key relationship, that is
largely unknown, you can clarify the filmmaker's interpretation of that person’s life," he
explains.
"Diana became herself in those two years and we're very lucky that that journey is
tied up in a love story," Bernstein adds. "Diana did a lot of good and was a pioneer in terms
of bringing awareness to landmine victims which is important to revisit. The way that she
felt played a strong part in terms of her ability to be more confident and become the woman
she became at the end of her life. Hasnat was a very key component towards that happening."
The producers approached Stephen Jeffreys, a prominent playwright and film writer
to bring their story to the screen. At the time they were already working with him on a film
about Florence Nightingale. "We wanted to work with Stephen because he's a fantastic writer
of character and he's also a very dexterous writer," Bernstein states.
The producers met with Jeffreys and presented him with a three-page story outline
about Diana and Khan. He went away and returned a few days later with pages of colored
charts plotting the film's story. "I remember poring over these charts with Ecosse and our
researchers in the café at Waterstone’s in Piccadilly and thinking we had something special,"
he recalls.

German director Oliver Hirschbiegel sets out his vision for DIANA to become a biographical
drama of the famous figures years before her death.
The screenplay was based upon Kate Snell’s 2001 book ‘Diana: Her last Love’, which was
written by Stephen Jeffreys. In Pre-production key scenes where mapped out before-hand
that have been famously captured and depicted by the camera and the public eye. E.g.- Dodi
Fayed on his family yacht (that may also be seen on the secondary posters that where
released for the promotion of the film).
The film assigned Scottish producer Douglas Rae (whom was executive producer for
‘Monarch of the Glen’) along Robert Bernstein.
Production designer Kave Quinn needed to make sure that the film would fit into the time
period of the late 1980’s to mid 90’s.

The Cast: the cast of any film is possibly one of the most crucial elements to pre-production.
It is important that the actors hired fit their roles, but also by assigning distinguished or
trending actors, a film may be fortunate to gain a better percentage of profit. The job of
casting goes down to the casting director and his/her team.

The Cinematographer Rainer Klausmann worked on DIANA, he being the films
main visual collaborator, Along with director Hirschbiegel.
The British cinematography system: In the British system, the director of
photography ("DOP"), sometimes credited as the lighting cameraman, is
responsible for lighting the set and the visual look of the film, but has no final say
over more purely camera operating-based visual elements such as framing. This
system means that the director consults the lighting cameraperson for lighting and
filtration, and the operator for framing and lens choices. "DOP" is the British and
Canadian acronym for "director of photography

Interview wit Naomi Watts:
She has already claimed she was given permission from beyond the grave by Diana to play her in a new film.
Now Naomi Watts has revealed she was so determined to make her portrayal of the Princess of Wales perfect that
she became obsessed with her controversial Panorama interview with Martin Bashir.
Miss Watts, 44, has admitted she repeatedly watched the 1995 programme – even while she exercised.
‘I ran the Martin Bashir TV interview so often that it got to the point where I was watching it on my iPhone while I
was out jogging,’ she told Hello! magazine.
‘I had five minutes of her walk, five minutes of her wave, five minutes of her laugh that I’d watch again and again.
‘She laughed a lot, actually, and had a cheeky sense of humour and would crack jokes you wouldn’t expect a
princess to crack.’
‘He was someone she trusted right away,’ Miss Watts said. ‘She was fascinated by his mind.
‘He was clever and traditional. She knew he was never going to exploit her.
'People would always be following her: but she did end up finding a connection with this one man. And I think
that, despite the tragedy, that’s an uplifting story.
Playing the Princess was, says Watts, her hardest ever role.
‘I kept wondering to myself “Would she like it?”,’ she reveals.

The Directors Note:
To portray Diana, the filmmakers looked no further than the British-born actress
Naomi Watts, a two-time Academy Award® nominee for her leading roles in 21 GRAMS
and THE IMPOSSIBLE. "I don't know who else would have been right and who could have
pulled it off," says the director. "Naomi's an exquisite actress and is outstandingly good. She
has the ability to be a chameleon. You know it's her and at the same time it’s definitely that
character and in this case you're watching Diana. That's an exceptional gift."
As an actress, Watts is better known for doing contemporary films. "This film is very
near contemporary so we need it to feel quite edgy and real. Naomi brings all of those
qualities to the screen," says Bernstein. "She's a very brave actress and her prior films have
largely dealt with intense emotions. We knew she had the real range of ability and courage to
fulfil the role."

The close up shot of watts signifies the importance of
the character she is playing. she is seen smiling and
looking towards one side, which helps to encapsulate
the warmness and approachableness of the character,
inviting audiences to succumb to the image and making
them want to watch the film. the contents of the film
itself is most certainly royalty, the theme greatly being
conveyed through the poster. the many blues of the
jewels, earrings, full bleed background and the symbol
of a crown above the blue title of Diana all connote a
sense of innocence, purity and royalty, the simple white
pearls adding to this effect.
The sell/ Plug Line 'The Legend is never a real story'
reveals to us, as a reader, that the films is specifically
directed towards the audience whom were aware of the
distinguished figure that was Diana through the 80s and
90s. the sell line almost suggest that you need to know
much about her already so as to understand the specific
point in her life of which the film aims to capture.
to add the crown above the masthead of Dianna, not
only associates her with royalty, but also signifies that
she is the mother of future king William, and
grandmother to Prince George. The close connection of
Dianna being with her son and grandson (especially
there being no coincidence that prince William and Kate
Middleton would happen to have the future air to the
throne on the same year) is a rather clever idea for the
majority of the country will at the moment be feeling
rather patriotic, with a the jubilee and Olympics having
been and gone, as well as the birth of the prince Georgethey wanted to further their patriotism.

The film has received overwhelmingly negative reviews. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an
8% approval rating based on reviews from 95 critics and an average score of 3.5/10. The consensus states: "Naomi
Watts tries hard in the title role, but Diana buries her efforts under a shoddy script and clumsy direction." On
Metacritic, the film has a 35 (out of 100), based on 28 reviews.
David Edwards from The Mirror said it was a "cheap and cheerless effort that looks like a Channel 5 mid-week
matinee" and that "Wesley Snipes in a blonde wig would be more convincing", awarding the film one star out of
five. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian also awarded it one star out of five and called the film "car crash cinema".
Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out New York called Watts' performance "extraordinary" and gave the film 3 stars out of
5, calling it "a restrained biopic that affords its subject the romantic privacy that life denied her."[ Nigel Andrews of
the Financial Times said that "once again Watts supplies the wattage" but that her performance is "frighteningly
isolated... the compensating passion in a torpid drama. "Jim Schembri of 3AW praised Watts' "impressive
performance" but remarked that the film "could actually have done with another half-hour putting more meat
onto the bones of these underdeveloped chapters of her story. " Dominic Corry of flicks.co.nz called the film "bad
in the blandest way possible" and lamented that "Watts is let down by the Mills & Boon-level script". Fionnuala
Halligan of Screen Daily also criticised the writing, saying that Watts' "brave performance should not be underestimated given the poverty of the dialogue and the pressure of the part."
Naomi Watts was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress for her performance in the film, and
also for Movie 43.
AMAZON reviewers have rated the film very poorly, ranging manly in the 1/5 category.

Overall this British film
was a flop.

Pre-production:
• Where the Idea came from: The film has been in development
since 2008. in 2009 Dan and Kevin Hageman began to write the
script described as ‘Action-Adventure set in a Lego world’. However
Lord and Miller were rumoured to be in talks with the position of
director and writer in June 2010. WB confirmed the film to be set
for a 2014 release in November 2011.

animation, which was expected to comprise 80% of the film. By this
time Chris McKay, the director of Robot Chicken, had also joined
Lord and Miller to co-direct.

How LEGO has been filmed: Using computer-drawn 3D animation allowed ‘The LEGO
Movie’ team to utilize the same techniques of other animated films. The process for
crafting ‘The LEGO Film’ by way was relatively standard – the animation team started
with a fully hand-drawn version of the script, before moving into what is known as
“layout” (a rough animation that centers on imagining both character and “camera”
placement), followed by actual animation, and then lighting and grading (which turns
flat animation into something very real-looking). They also used a modeling program
that approximated the experience of snapping LEGOs together, one so intelligent that it
would reject brick combinations that wouldn’t work in real life

The poster is set in a multitude of bright primary
colours such as red or blue. These colours not only
gain the attention of passers by, but the dominating
colours of both red and blue appeal to both boys
and girls, of which the target gender for this film is
neutral. The colours being primary illustrate and
attract the main target audience which is for
children. The proxemics of the characters are
placed in the centre of the poster, with well know
figures such as Batman visible- this is used once
again to act as a ‘taster’ for the audience as well as
to attract viewers with such recognised franchises
such as the character of Superman, who is seen
from within the poster. The pull line is effective for
it mentions a ‘nobody’ being important. This is a
good, positive message towards children. This may
is an also a clear example of the gratification
theory, as many children have experienced being
unwanted or feeling incapable. They may now have
the option to relate with the main character, and
thus feel more compelled to watch the film.

In the late 1970s, ROW began to distribute recorded music for third-party retailers in Canada. For more than 20 years, entertainment content distribution became ROW’s primary focus as the company expanded into video, purchasing one of Canada’s largest home entertainment distributors, Video One Canada.

    Pre-Production: Where the storycame from: BRINGING DIANA'S STORY TO THE SCREEN The idea for DIANA was generated in-house at Ecosse Films several years ago. The story the filmmakers wanted to tell was the love story between Diana and Dr. Hasnat Khan, a British Pakistani heart surgeon. "It seemed to us that it was the key to understanding the last two years of her life," says Bernstein. Although the producers knew they wanted to make the movie, they weren't confident they could take it forward into development until the inquests had taken place into Diana's death. At the inquest, Khan went on record confirming he had had a relationship with Diana. "He went into quite a bit of dignified detail, which was extremely helpful to us in terms of deciding that that period in her life was now history," explains Bernstein. "We decided now we could interpret that and make a film based on facts." From the outset, Bernstein wasn't interested in making a typical biopic about Diana. They set about to make a film that focused on who Diana became in those last two years, rather than on the tragedy of how she died. "If you're looking at a famous person's life you have to consolidate it into a specific time period and through a key relationship, that is largely unknown, you can clarify the filmmaker's interpretation of that person’s life," he explains. "Diana became herself in those two years and we're very lucky that that journey is tied up in a love story," Bernstein adds. "Diana did a lot of good and was a pioneer in terms of bringing awareness to landmine victims which is important to revisit. The way that she felt played a strong part in terms of her ability to be more confident and become the woman she became at the end of her life. Hasnat was a very key component towards that happening." The producers approached Stephen Jeffreys, a prominent playwright and film writer to bring their story to the screen. At the time they were already working with him on a film about Florence Nightingale. "We wanted to work with Stephen because he's a fantastic writer of character and he's also a very dexterous writer," Bernstein states. The producers met with Jeffreys and presented him with a three-page story outline about Diana and Khan. He went away and returned a few days later with pages of colored charts plotting the film's story. "I remember poring over these charts with Ecosse and our researchers in the café at Waterstone’s in Piccadilly and thinking we had something special," he recalls.

    Pre-production: • • • • German director OliverHirschbiegel sets out his vision for DIANA to become a biographical drama of the famous figures years before her death. The screenplay was based upon Kate Snell’s 2001 book ‘Diana: Her last Love’, which was written by Stephen Jeffreys. In Pre-production key scenes where mapped out before-hand that have been famously captured and depicted by the camera and the public eye. E.g.- Dodi Fayed on his family yacht (that may also be seen on the secondary posters that where released for the promotion of the film). The film assigned Scottish producer Douglas Rae (whom was executive producer for ‘Monarch of the Glen’) along Robert Bernstein. Production designer Kave Quinn needed to make sure that the film would fit into the time period of the late 1980’s to mid 90’s.

This system means that the director consults the lighting cameraperson for lighting and filtration, and the operator for framing and lens choices.

    Production: Continued… Acting preparation: • • • • • • • • • • • • Interviewwit Naomi Watts: She has already claimed she was given permission from beyond the grave by Diana to play her in a new film. Now Naomi Watts has revealed she was so determined to make her portrayal of the Princess of Wales perfect that she became obsessed with her controversial Panorama interview with Martin Bashir. Miss Watts, 44, has admitted she repeatedly watched the 1995 programme – even while she exercised. ‘I ran the Martin Bashir TV interview so often that it got to the point where I was watching it on my iPhone while I was out jogging,’ she told Hello! magazine. ‘I had five minutes of her walk, five minutes of her wave, five minutes of her laugh that I’d watch again and again. ‘She laughed a lot, actually, and had a cheeky sense of humour and would crack jokes you wouldn’t expect a princess to crack.’ ‘He was someone she trusted right away,’ Miss Watts said. ‘She was fascinated by his mind. ‘He was clever and traditional. She knew he was never going to exploit her. 'People would always be following her: but she did end up finding a connection with this one man. And I think that, despite the tragedy, that’s an uplifting story. Playing the Princess was, says Watts, her hardest ever role. ‘I kept wondering to myself “Would she like it?”,’ she reveals. The Directors Note: To portray Diana, the filmmakers looked no further than the British-born actress Naomi Watts, a two-time Academy Award® nominee for her leading roles in 21 GRAMS and THE IMPOSSIBLE. "I don't know who else would have been right and who could have pulled it off," says the director. "Naomi's an exquisite actress and is outstandingly good. She has the ability to be a chameleon. You know it's her and at the same time it’s definitely that character and in this case you're watching Diana. That's an exceptional gift." As an actress, Watts is better known for doing contemporary films. "This film is very near contemporary so we need it to feel quite edgy and real. Naomi brings all of those qualities to the screen," says Bernstein. "She's a very brave actress and her prior films have largely dealt with intense emotions. We knew she had the real range of ability and courage to fulfil the role." Watts as Diana, during production.

    Distribution: Continued… • The closeup shot of watts signifies the importance of the character she is playing. she is seen smiling and looking towards one side, which helps to encapsulate the warmness and approachableness of the character, inviting audiences to succumb to the image and making them want to watch the film. the contents of the film itself is most certainly royalty, the theme greatly being conveyed through the poster. the many blues of the jewels, earrings, full bleed background and the symbol of a crown above the blue title of Diana all connote a sense of innocence, purity and royalty, the simple white pearls adding to this effect. The sell/ Plug Line 'The Legend is never a real story' reveals to us, as a reader, that the films is specifically directed towards the audience whom were aware of the distinguished figure that was Diana through the 80s and 90s. the sell line almost suggest that you need to know much about her already so as to understand the specific point in her life of which the film aims to capture. to add the crown above the masthead of Dianna, not only associates her with royalty, but also signifies that she is the mother of future king William, and grandmother to Prince George. The close connection of Dianna being with her son and grandson (especially there being no coincidence that prince William and Kate Middleton would happen to have the future air to the throne on the same year) is a rather clever idea for the majority of the country will at the moment be feeling rather patriotic, with a the jubilee and Olympics having been and gone, as well as the birth of the prince Georgethey wanted to further their patriotism.

On Metacritic, the film has a 35 (out of 100), based on 28 reviews. David Edwards from The Mirror said it was a "cheap and cheerless effort that looks like a Channel 5 mid-week matinee" and that "Wesley Snipes in a blonde wig would be more convincing", awarding the film one star out of five. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian also awarded it one star out of five and called the film "car crash cinema". Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out New York called Watts' performance "extraordinary" and gave the film 3 stars out of 5, calling it "a restrained biopic that affords its subject the romantic privacy that life denied her."[ Nigel Andrews of the Financial Times said that "once again Watts supplies the wattage" but that her performance is "frighteningly isolated... the compensating passion in a torpid drama. "Jim Schembri of 3AW praised Watts' "impressive performance" but remarked that the film "could actually have done with another half-hour putting more meat onto the bones of these underdeveloped chapters of her story. " Dominic Corry of flicks.co.nz called the film "bad in the blandest way possible" and lamented that "Watts is let down by the Mills & Boon-level script". Fionnuala Halligan of Screen Daily also criticised the writing, saying that Watts' "brave performance should not be underestimated given the poverty of the dialogue and the pressure of the part." Naomi Watts was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress for her performance in the film, and also for Movie 43. AMAZON reviewers have rated the film very poorly, ranging manly in the 1/5 category. Overall this British film was a flop.

    Pre-production: • Where theIdea came from: The film has been in development since 2008. in 2009 Dan and Kevin Hageman began to write the script described as ‘Action-Adventure set in a Lego world’. However Lord and Miller were rumoured to be in talks with the position of director and writer in June 2010. WB confirmed the film to be set for a 2014 release in November 2011. • The Australian studio Animal Logic was contracted to provide the animation, which was expected to comprise 80% of the film. By this time Chris McKay, the director of Robot Chicken, had also joined Lord and Miller to co-direct. • In March 2012, Lord and Miller revealed the film's working title, Lego: The Piece of Resistance, and a storyline.

The process for crafting ‘The LEGO Film’ by way was relatively standard – the animation team started with a fully hand-drawn version of the script, before moving into what is known as “layout” (a rough animation that centers on imagining both character and “camera” placement), followed by actual animation, and then lighting and grading (which turns flat animation into something very real-looking). They also used a modeling program that approximated the experience of snapping LEGOs together, one so intelligent that it would reject brick combinations that wouldn’t work in real life BUDGET: $60,000,000 (estimated)

These colours not only gain the attention of passers by, but the dominating colours of both red and blue appeal to both boys and girls, of which the target gender for this film is neutral. The colours being primary illustrate and attract the main target audience which is for children. The proxemics of the characters are placed in the centre of the poster, with well know figures such as Batman visible- this is used once again to act as a ‘taster’ for the audience as well as to attract viewers with such recognised franchises such as the character of Superman, who is seen from within the poster. The pull line is effective for it mentions a ‘nobody’ being important. This is a good, positive message towards children. This may is an also a clear example of the gratification theory, as many children have experienced being unwanted or feeling incapable. They may now have the option to relate with the main character, and thus feel more compelled to watch the film. THE LEGO MOVIE: Poster 1: Analysis:
