A2 Media Studies Coursework; Researching Film Promotion

Our class have been looking at different ways of using research to promote films. We have been doing this through choosing recently released films and then looking at the number of ways in which they are promoted. After this, we created a presentation powerpoint to show our research.

The film i researched was Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. i sued this and contrasted it with Transformers, the research that jessica was doing. Together we looked at how they were promoted through magazine covers, websites, posters and movie trailers and teasers.

Magazine covers for the film are promoted through the images of the characters and the colours which are used. Websites contain important information and show official sneak peeks and trailers for the film. The trailers give the viewer an insight to the main events of the film and what kind of film it is. For example, Harry Potter contains a hybrid genre consisting of Action/Adventure/ Fantasy film. My presentation shows this in depth.
