what makes a good film poster?

In my opinion i think what makes good film poster includes clear information, the title should be bold so it is eye catching and relates to the film genre. Example: if the genre of the film is horror, therefore the title has blood all over it to represent the genre. it should have a colour background that is related the genre. example: if the genre of the film is horror, the background colour should either be red or black. the film poster should include the basic things such as release date of the film, the age rating, credit block and film company.

Film ideas

The name of the film will be called The Apocalypse

The genre of the film will be Horror/Action and will be 18+

The location is in America

This film is about a special military unit that makes ultimate weapons, scientist from the unit made a virus in the laboratory... one day somehow the virus got out of the laboratory and spread around the world. the virus turned people to zombies. a group of people with heavy guns trying to survive the zombie horde.

Video games are violent & will make you lazy

In my opinion, i think it depends on the person and the type of video games, if
the person is playing an action video game, they will more likely to be more violent because of shooting guns and explosions but if the person plays video games for children then it would likely for him to be less violent because video games for children does not contain action. Also, it depends on what type of games that will make you lazy, Video games like Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty will more likely to make you lazy because they will make you addicted and it will make you lazy because you are going to be sitting at home playing                  Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty for the whole day.

different film marketing methods and what they are suitable for

1. the marketing methods i can remember from today are:

The chat-roulette method, the last exorcism used it to trick people.

2. Today i learn that some film marketing methods are suited to particular audiences. For example: Creating a website for a film is the best suited to a film whose audience is 15 because they use internet a lot.

3.Today i have learned that some film marketing methods are suited to genres of film. For example:

having toys is best suited for a film which is from the cartoon genre because when children buys the toy, they will like the film.

having an action video game for a film which is from an action genre because once they play the game, they will be interested in the film.

Viral Marketing Campaigns

The term “viral” describes the way a message can become self-replicating as it is picked up and repeated across the Internet. it could basically such as pictures, websites or video clips.

3 examples of films that have used viral marketing:

The Blair Witch Project (1999)

They made a viral website so people would believed that the film is based on a real story. Viral Website: http://blairwitch.com/legacy.html

Cloverfield (2008)

They made a viral website, in the website there are pictures... so people would believe that film is real.

Website: http://www.1-18-08.com/

The last Exorcism


Tricking people through Chatroulette.


www.Chatroulette.com


They make viral videos, websites and etc. because it is a cheaper way to advertise films in public.

Low budget film marketing campaign are films that have a very low amount of money to spend in the making of advertisement and  in the making of the film.

High budget film marketing campaign are films that have a very high amount of money to spend in the making of advertisement and  in the making of the film.

Analyzing Pro Adverts

Analyse of my Advert

My idea for an Advert

HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio


I would have Dr. Dre in the advert simply because he is the founder of Beats.


HTC Sensation™ XL with Beats Audio™ this product is a Smart Phone.

Main Colours in the advert is white because the Smart Phone is white.

The target audience is mostly likely to be Teenagers and who likes to listen to music because this Phone has the Beats Audio.

Adverts for Phone

The unique selling point of this is that it has new special features that Older iPhones does not have or cannot have.

Teenagers

Introduction

I chose teenagers because Media blames them for Crimes such as Drug Crimes, Knife Crimes and many more or for involving in Gangs... But in my opinion, not all teenagers are the same.






Section 1 - Television

My First example is Will from The Inbetweeners TV show.


Although Will does Stupid things, He wants to have a Future in life... He is not one of them Teenagers that Commit Crimes.

BBC Research

1) The BBC was founded in 1 January 1927 by John Reith and George Villers.

2) The BBC stands for for British Broadcast Corporation. 

3) The Purpose of the BBC is to show people Programmes and informations about entertainment and education.

4) The BBC is funded by TV, Radio, Online salaries every month.

5) The BBC have different types of Media such as TV, Internet, Radio.

6) The BBC have 26 TV and Radio Channels in total.

7) I think that it is important that we have PSB in Britain because if we didn't have PSB, then people wouldn't know what is happening around the world.
