Paper 2 Section A
- 15 marker question

Making a film:
Pre - production
shooting/production
post production

4 Stages of a film:

  • Production - making the film
  • Distrubution - sell film to cinemas and send to cinemas
  • Marketing - press releases, trailers, Interviews
  • Exhibition/ Exchange - The way you watch the film. e.g. netflix, Amazon, Phone, Cinema, TV etc.

e.g. Disney, Sony, Time warner, NBC - Universal

Ownership:

  • Major companies owns others within the industry in order for more films to be produced.
Vertical Integration:
- When film companies has ownership of the means of production, distribution and exhibition of the film by the same company so they recive all the profit.

Horizontal integration:
- When the production companies expands into other areas of one industry. It requires merges with other companies that do the same thing to help eliminate competition. The profit will be shared amongst each company.

Big Companies/Conglomerates

  • Studios may pull in favours but it does mean its the best film.
                     
Media triangle:

                                                                  Media Text 
                                                      - what they have produced

               Institution                                                                                      Target Audience
- who have produced media text                                                            -Who is it produced for  



Audience:
Shift from push media (what producers push media at us and we recive and consume it) to pull media (where we decide what we want to do what we want to watch and access it in ways that suit us)

Tabloid newspaper homework

Image result for the sun newspaper
This is a Sun newspaper about Boris Jonson. This is probably aimed for a middle aged people who are interested in politicians. This newspaper has focused on a negative view of Boris and his relationship with his wife. The article is about Boris being kicked out of his house by his wife. They have used an image of Boris standing behind his wife they are both smiling and seem happy however the picture is very small in comparison to the size of the title which is clearly what they want you to see more than the picture. They could of put this caption on the cover to highlight how unstable his marriage (home life) is so how can he run a country.
