Film Work

I am so sorry about the double booked room and my lack of voice, it is not very convenient when it comes to teaching!!
Please read through the link The Film Industry and Audience and apply some of this information to your presentations.

This section of the course requires that you investigate the following aspects of the film industry;

• The American Film Industry - specifically contemporary Hollywood, including its impact on UK audiences
  


• The British Film Industry - specifically the contemporary industry including issues of independence, distinctiveness and profitability

YOU MUST INVESTIGATE ASPECTS OF FINANCE, ORGANISATION, PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION (INCLUDING MARKETING) AND EXHIBITION.

I expect these elements to have been thoroughly examined within your presentation...in essence you are completing a case study!Good luck and come and see me in room 17 with any questions or queries.Cx

THE HIGH CONCEPT MODEL

Please make sure that you keep working on your film presentations, detailed below!

I would also like you to make sure that you complete the research activity in the Post-generic filmmaking section of your Unit 3 - The High Concept handout!

Please also submit the notes you made from the "Hollywood Machine" videos.

Thanks guys and gals!

The Hollywood Machine and Film Marketing

Firstly I would like you to note down some of the observations you made whilst watching "The Hollywood Machine" documentary.

Then...

In pairs I would like you to research and prepare a presentation on a recent Hollywood film and a recent British Film. The presentation should focus on;

• Marketing


• The Stars - What impact do they have upon the film's success


• The budget


• The merchandise


• The audience figures


• A comparison in the methods of advertising and marketing of the two films

Please use Powerpoint to create your presentation and post ALL of your research on to the blog. Your presentation must be ready for thursday next week!
