Poster And Trailer Analysis!

The central image is of the main protagonist and very famous actress Jennifer Lawrence. This is a USP because if  the actress has many fans they will come to watch the movie and bring profit to the producing company/companies. In the central image she is using a bow which shows dominance and that she is ready against anything. This central is very symbolic too the movies as the secondary image is the Mocking Jay which in the books and movies is the spark of rebellion. Since the Central Image is covering the symbol shows anyone who is going to watch the movie has to have watch the one before. The title tells the audience that this movie is a sequel of the one before which could be a USP as the people who enjoyed the last movie will come to watch the next to find out what is happening. The Tagline makes the reader feel that they want to find out about the enemy and if the main character or any other characters go to the enemy side and kill there allies. The tagline is also effective as the rebellion is of the hunger games which is killing to survive but the tagline tells us that the creators are the enemies not the fighters. The release date shows that the movie was coming out on November 22nd 2013. This is a USP because if fans know when the movie is coming out then they could go to the first day it is on and the distributors and producers will get more money overall as the fans are watching it in the cinema. The production blurb tells the reader who made the film as they could want to watch other films directed by the same person of produced by the same company for example lots of people go to watch Disney films as Disney produced them.

The film producer of this movie is lionsgte and the director is frances lawrence. The main actor who has become very famous from the hunger games is Jennifer Lawrence. Other actors are Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth. In the first scene of the trailer you see the main character with her family which shows that they want to show a insight to her life after winning the hunger games in the earlier film. There is fast paced scenes to show the rioting and that people where fighting. The rapid scenes flow with the trailer as it is showing the action aspect of the movie. This creates the feeling of enigma. There is not much writing in this trailer it is more diegetic sound of the actors speaking in the film. The movie came out on 22nd November 2013. The trailer tells the audience the twitter tag and face book page.

Film Pitch!

THE FOURTH RIKE

Log line in bold:

Hitler wins WW2; a wanted British sergeant named "Thomas Smith" is a fugitive, running from the Germans; he travels around Europe fleeing from death. He meets the love of his life, a German women! The Nazi's find out the women is with the fugitive and they threaten to kill her to. The fugitive does all he can to save his loved one. The sergeant go's through many obstacles through the way of getting his loved one into safety. The genre of this film is an alternative historical drama and has some aspects of action. I used this for the genre as it is different and not many people has made films like this movie. Also this could attract a wider range of audiences as this is a genre made up of many other genres like action and drama. This film is a cross between "Romeo & Juliet" and an episode in "Misfits." about Hitler winning world war 2. This film targets a audience who enjoy action and historical dramas however the aspect of Hitler winning the war could attract a wider audience. The movie is aimed at the age of 18+ because younger teens might not want to watch a movie in the genre of historical drama. This movie is aimed at 60% male 40% female because males will be appealed by some of the more seductive scenes and the way the women are portrayed in the movie. This movie is based on the fugitive as the hero and the German women as the "damsel in distress." The Nazis who are trying to kill them both are the main enemies/villains.

Hunger Games: Catching Fire

I chose this film because there is a lot to talk about the film as there is many aspects of different genres and has a big studio running the movies.

The production companies are Lionsgate and Color Force and the distributor for the UK is also Lionsgate. Lionsgate is a very famous production company as they have made many other hit films. The company can spend lots of money on these movies as they know that the movie will be a big hit as the other movies were very famous. The fact that Lionsgate is also the distributor also shows that they are a famous company and has distributed many other films to the UK.

The genre of this movie is action and adventure however has aspects of sci-fi. You can tell it fits the genre as there is killing for action and there is survival which shows the adventure in the movie. The fact that they look for food and water also shows that their is a few fantasy aspects as they are on a quest to survive and find the necessary items to survive. There is rebellion in the streets which fits into the action aspect of the movie. This movie is a sequel from the hunger games before this one. Companies spent a lot of money on this movie as they know that the movie before did very well. The movie used the sign of the movies and books, the Mocking Jay  which is also the names of the other the last book. The sign is in all of the movies as in the story it is the sign of the "rebellion" towards the "Capitol." Also the actress Jennifer Lawrence has become very famous due to the Hunger Games films and many people go to watch the other movies she is in which brings business to their companies meaning that lots of people hire her for movies.

The UK release date for the movie was 21st of November 2013. Also the teaser trailer came out on the 17th of April 2013 and the main trailer came out on 21st July 2013. To help marketing there is other marketing strategies such as interviews, there was an interview with Jennifer Lawrence on 11th November 2013. 

The original budget for this film was $130,000,000 however the gross was $864,565,663 which means that it was a very big fit. The fact that the production company Lionsgate got alot of profit means that they would produce the next movie and get a bigger profit since the movie was a big hit.

Since the last movie was very popular and many people were talking about it implies that lots of fans will be talking about the new movies. This helps the producer as they know they will get a profit and they can spend less money on marketing. Lots of social media sites users interact with others and the word of the new movie can go around very rapidly threw mutual friends ETC. Some reviews are " Catching Fire is a great experience" and "Catching Fire is exceptional entertainment" however some people did not enjoy the movie saying " You don't feel the characters" and "This movie couldn' be more borring." This shows that sometimes word of the mouth can also be bad for the produces and they could lose money.

The director of this movie is Francis Lawrence and he was the director of the movie before this one. He is known for directing "I Am Legend" and "Constantine." These movies are not in the same genre as "Catching Fire" because "Constantine" is a horror/drama film and "I Am Legend" is a thriller however has aspects of Sci-Fi. The main star of "Catching Fire" is Jennifer Lawrence who has become very famous do to this series. Since Jennifer has become famous she has starred in X-Men: Apocalypse, American Hustle, Joy and Winters Bone. In American Hustle it says Jennifer's name in the trailer. This movie came out after Catching Fire implying that she has become a big hit and producers want her in many other movies.
