This is an example of free advertising, I used the very popular social networking site Twitter to advertise our swede at no expense. https://twitter.com/MMitchelluk
Twitter is a new and up and coming method of advertising that more and more film companys are using because its one of the cheapests methods and because there is no extent to how Twitter can promote a film, it is world wide and things such as hash tags may really help to give films a 'buzz' online.

Production, Distribution/Marketing, Exhibition

AS MEDIA STUDIES-Film industry lesson 1: Homework

Production

Stages in producing a film:

 ·         Stage 1 –Development; planning scripting, storyboarding etc.

For example: The script for ‘The Hangover’ was written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore and supervised by Kerry Lyn Mckissick.

 

·         Stage 2-Pre-production; Budgets, cast & crew.
For example: In the ‘Hangover’ there were many actors who had roles in this film, some of those were, Bradley cooper as Phil Wenneck, a teacher. Ed Helms as Dr.Stu Price, a dentist. Zach Galifanakis as Alan Garner etc.

During pre-production, ‘The Hangover’ had a $35 million budget for the 15 Days photography which was taken place in Nevada.

 

·         Stage 3-Production; Shooting of the film/ Recording.
For example: The shooting of ‘The Hangover’ took place in Nevada, Las Vegas, USA.

It took 15 days to film it and it is 100 mins long.

 

Distribution/Marketing

A film gets distributed, when the film is completely finished and edited. It gets sent to a company for example: ‘The Hangover’ got distributed by Warner Bros. Then the buyers negotiate and make an agreement that suites both parties e.g. the company and the makers of the film. The film then gets released by following ways:

-Theatre
-Posters
-Trailers
-Reviews
-Social media such as Facebook, twitter, MySpace etc.
-Radio interviews
Etc.

 

The film gets its publicity when more and more people watch it, and it gets passed around. The thing that catches the audience’s attention, are the following:
-Entertaining throughout
-Not too expensive
-Good/Known Actors
-Not too long
-Unique
-Good quality
-Based at most common audiences

Exhibition

-Advertisements e.g.motorways,buses/underground, internet, youtube, food products such as coca cola, biscuits etc.

-Release it out to the theatre/cinema
-Dvd/video
-Word of Mouth

King Kong Mock Site

I based the mock King Kong site on 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'  official site, I did this because both films had been based on a novel before being made into a filma.
The links at the top of the page lead to various places. The 'Videos' hyperlink would lead to videos of clips, trailers, teasers, radio interviews and TV interviews.  The 'Story' link would have a vague blurb on what the film and book is about.
The 'Gallery' hyperlink would lead to the King Kong gallery filled with images of pre-production, production and pro-production so the consumers could see how the film was made and clicking on the 'Read the Book' would link to to extracts from the novels to draw in the consumers to buy it.


I added the social networking site logo images to the page so the consumers would be able to click on the links to connect them to the King Kong swede YouTube, Twitter, GetGlue, Pinterest, Tumblr and Google+ pages and added the the images of bookstore logos which would link to the sites to but 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' novel
