What conclusions can you draw about the groups choice of films? eg why so many American films/a particular choice of viewing?
I think the reason for the majority of the films being American because the movie business in the USA is bigger and more films are produced through the big budget and wide market. But also the small portoin of British films that came up were favoured by the class, this is because we can relate to the humour in British film. And take pride in the fact they originate from our country.
What are the pros/cons of watching films at the cinema/DVD/download/TV?
Cinema:Pros
-big screen and the overall atmosphere created is better.
-It also creates exitement to the viewer if for example they are viewing a film on its opening night.
Cons:
-a lot of money for one viewing
-may be distrubed by noisy or misbehaving viewers.
-potentially long cues.
-not guaranteed a good seat (may be sat at the front)
DVD/TV:Pros
-Can be watched in the comfort of your own home
-Can be watched a multiple amount of times
-Pause and Rewind functions
Download:Pros
-Can be free to download
-Watch it when you want
-View it again and again
Cons:
-May be bad quality
-Could contain a virus
-Sometimes it can be illegal.
What are the different methods of marketing? Which do you think is the most effective and why?
I think that the publicity that is made commercially works the best. For example posters on busses and on street signs, Internet ads, and trailers on both normal television and at cinema screenings. Also the films star actors can do inteerviews for magazines or television programs. This can attract fans of the certain stars. Plus, newspaper adverts can be used, usually if the film is aimed at an older age. Plus adverts through mobile phones and corporations such as Orange. Overall i believe that trailers are most effective. Because trailers show the viewer clips of the film which can attract them and make them want to view it.
