Comparing: Working Title vs. Warp



Warp Films

Working Title Films

Warp films are filmed mainly in Sheffield and in the local areas around Sheffield

Like many other production companies, Working Title films are mainly produced in London. They also carry out most of their filming in studios and around London area.


Warp mainly use social realism genre in their productions.

Working Titles produce mostly ROM-COM's such as Love Actually, Bridget Jones’ Diary and Pride and Prejudice


Warp films are an independent company and therefore don’t get much funding.

Working Title is a larger company, that are given enormous budgets, hence they are able to spend a lot more on the mise-en-scene, actors etc.


Warp films usually target specific audiences within England.

Working Title tend to target a big audience from children aged 6-12 (Mr Bean’s Holiday) to middle aged woman (Pride & Prejudice) to an entire family movie (Bridget Jones’ Diary). 


Warp films focus more on letting the actors develop their own original version of the movie

Working Title uses a reasonably successful cast and crew in order to create their films. Their focus is more on making money.


Warp Films use a lot of urban areas as shoot locations to emphasise on the real life situation of people that the audience can relate with it.


Working Title tend to create more posh and picturesque pictures of their characters and surroundings. For example in Bridget Jones, the garden we see in the beginning of the movie is very prawn and pretty.
Also Pride and Prejudice, has a lot of pretty costumes. They are however also able to spend more money on the mise-en-scene, since they are a bigger company with a larger budget.
