read and summarise the article
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/may/31/hollywood-and-tv-put-the-squeeze-on-uks-low-budget-film-makers
  • Films nowadays cost more to make yet there's less money set aside for low budget films as high end Hollywood blockbusters take 90% of the money the 10% goes to the independent productions
  • The amount of money in the mid-to-low budget films is decreasing and is at the lowest numbers since 2006 according to BFI (British Film Institute)
  • High end tv is at the same level as smaller films ands has an increase in the amount of money put into production 
  • Normal television channels are almost doubling the amount of money spent leaving little to no difference between films and high end tv
  • The investments in tv production companies such as Netflix and amazon have almost doubled investment prices to a record of £500mil in 2013 when the film production  investments have dropped to £198mil in 2015
  • Netflix has made more original films than sky
