Certainly for us this is the most successful film ever."The soon to be disbanded UK Film Council provided £1m of lottery money for the film's production budget, while the Aegis Film Fund – whose cash comes from wealthy private individuals "not all of whom are footballers" according to Smith – provided a further £6m.

TV documentary The Real King’s Speech - BBC

Filmingof the King’s Speech Actual filming was spread out over seven weeks, from mid-November 2009 to mid-January 2010

Filming Locations The Duke and Duchess lived in London at 145 Piccadilly, near Hyde Park Corner. The actual house was destroyed in WW11 after a bomb raid, but the house used for the film was 33 Portland Place, dating from 1775. 33 Portland Place The consulting room of Lionel Logue’s (the speech therapist) was originally in London on the exclusive Harley Street, although since the 1920’s the street has become more modernised. This street can be found in the original Italian Job film (1969). Even though 33 Portland Place was used for the royal house it was also used for the consultants room, because of the distressed wallpaper and interior that worked incredibly well for the setting. The setting was also used for the famous Amy Winehouse video ‘Rehab’. Lionel’s home supposedly in Kensington, but in the film it is 89-96, Campton street. It originally looked dull and grim, but for the film it was given a coat of paint and looked a lot more lively.

Lancaster House alone cost £20,000 for a day and supplied only two scenes – the walk to make the broadcast and the official photograph afterwards. The speech itself was shot off-site, "pretty much in a cupboard".

Shooting For most of the movie the filming was inside, where oblong sets, corridors and small spaces produced constriction and tightness in the shots, in contrast to the usual emphasis on sweep and majesty in historical dramas. To create the feel of entrapment in the kings head a wider lenses was used when photographing the film. They also used wider shots to enhance the body language of the actors.
