Skyfall Research

We found out that the production company behind Skyfall MGM and EON financed the film. 

Since Skyfall has been released, the film has made £37.2m in 7 days. Adele's single is called Skyfall which is also the name of the film. The company behind Adele's single is Sony and it is also the company that produced the film. Other films that Sony is known for is Looper, Hotel Transylvania and Here comes the boom. Skyfall has used the internet to advertise and market their film through facebook, twitter, premier competition and skyfall website. The target audience for Skyfall is men and anyone over the age of 12 as there is mild violence and loads of action. Right now, the only way how we can watch Skyfall is in the Cinema, but once the film leaves the cinema it will be available on DVD bluray, netflix, lovefilm and online. The types of advertising we have seen in London for skyfall are posters, billboards, merchandise. The merchandises are available for fans to buy are watches, coke, nail polish and perfume etc. The mobile app that are available to link to the film are IMDb, facebook, twitter and other social networking apps.

Production

There are four main stages when producing a film:

-          Writing – The script for the film is written

-          Pre-production – Directors, film crew and the cast are hired. The location is chosen and the sets are prepared.

-          Production – The shooting of the film takes place

-          Post-production – The film is edited with special effects and sound effects.

 Distribution

Film distribution is the process of which the film is released for a viewing audience. This may be accomplished in various ways:

-          Standard release: A movie is first released through a theatrical window then eventually released onto DVD.

-          Simultaneous release: A movie is distributed on a numerous amount of media, for example cinema, DVD and the internet all at similar times.

-          Straight-to-video release: A movie is made available to the public straight through a DVD without being played at the cinema beforehand.

Advertising in the movie industry is a form of getting across new films to persuade the public to watch it.

Different ways of advertising:

- Radio

- Trailers

- Posters

- Magazine

- Internet (Blogs, Cineworld)

- Branding (Using celebrities)

Marketing

There are many different genres of movies which appeals to different audiences but there are also multi genre movies. For example Black Swan is a drama, mystery and thriller but it also appeals to people who like ballet. The scary movie sequels appeal to people who like comedy but also people interested in scary movies as it is a parody of horror movies. 

3D films were first introduced in the 1915 but became successful in the 2000’s. 3D films are a great way of marketing as they can bring back an old movie in three dimensions, such as Titanic.

Exhibition

The most common way to view movies is at the cinema and on occasion some films would be aired on TV. But now, with technology improving, people are able to watch movies online, on their smart phones and from their sky box. DVD’s are another way in which people can watch films.
