EXPLAIN WHY THE DELAYED RELEASE OF ' NO TIME TO DIE ' WAS AN ISSUE FOR THE TEAM BEHIND THE MOVIE ?

the delayed release date of no time to die meant that they would have to spend more money on advertising to keep the hype for the movie. the distribution company had so much extra work to do so there product is not outdated and is relevant. they had to remove irrelevant products that were not up do date with the time, which made them reshoot the scenes and update the products shown for the movie scenes.

The film industry markets a new film through the collaborations with other brands, this creates a wider appeal and creates a wider audience as it uses different platform to draw interest and attention towards the film.

i will use entertainment and gaming for this lesson.

The theory of U and G identified entertainment as an appeal to the audience to keep them entertained and allows them to share emotions with friends using gaming. we can see this in gaming as the wide range of games that are available to the audience like GTA, Roblox, Fortnite etc. this can help the audiences escape their boring lives and their troubles in life. this allows the audience to also to know insights about other peoples lives using gaming. this allows the uses of gratifications to link to gaming.

                     FILM INDUSTRY EXAM STRUCTURE

                            LO: to apply our knowledge to exam style questions.

3A: MGM 

3B: a conglomerate is a company which owns other companies, an example of a conglomerate is Disney/ warner bros. (owns production and distribution.)

3C: convergence is when a piece of media is available on different sites/platforms and is available to view, an example of this is Fortnite since its accessible from a variety of websites. ( the film industry can be used also)

3d: technology is used to promote NTTD to the audiences in three ways. they do this to create excitement towards the films release and to potentially create more fans and to make more people want to watch the film. one way they have done this is the movie trailer. the movie trailer shows the audience sneak peeks of the film and to create interest and excitement for the films release to build a fanbase for NTTD. they used technology to use the internet to post the movie trailer online onto online services like youtube to promote the film to the audience and to gain attraction and hype for the film.

 Another way that NTTD was promoted using technology is the Billie Eilish track. the track can be heard using a radio, apps like youtube and Spotify. they have made sure that this is posted online to alert the audiences of what artist are going to be featured in the film and what songs will also feature. this can create new fans of the franchise. if people like the artist Billie Eilish and see that she is featured in the film. they would want to watch the film.

 The Last way they used technology 

4a; media producers categorise their audiences into categories of certain aspects. this includes age and gender

4b: action, relatable characters, 12A

NTTD targets the audience by using action, they use action to make unrealistic scene to excite the viewer, they use guns, car chases, explosions that are used in a way to keep the viewer engaged throughout the film from the beginning with the opening scene from the end. they do this to attract the audience.

4c: users visiting the 007 website can be linked towards the uses of gratifications, social interaction can be linked to this because it might help users that link themselves to a specific character find other people that link themselves towards the same character. it can help find new groups or start new conversations
