  6. FEEDBACK

  7. The use of video sharing and the age of prosumerdriven content has meant audiences are now much more easily captured and targeted across the globe. Hollywood’s success - $10.8 Billion (2012) in the US alone – has transferred across the globe, resulting in the film industry much more like a ‘Global Village’ (Marshall McLuhan – 1967). How else are Global audiences targeted by Hollywood?

  8. Vs. ‘The Angel’s Share’ (2012) Dir. Ken Loach ‘Taken 2’ (2012) Dir. Oliver Megaton YOU MUST go on to the Blog Pages for each of the films above and establish HOW each film utilized social media and new media technologies to help market the film to National and International audiences.

  20. Unit G322: Institutions & Audience (Film) “Blanket release” £1.1 Billion generated at the Box-Office in 2012 – 4% increase. 32% of this figure represents UK Produced Blockbusters such as ‘Skyfall’ (2012). 9% of this figure represents UK Produced Low Budget films such as ‘The Angels Share’ (2012). 23% of this figure represents Hollywood produced ‘Event Movies’. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/uk-admissions-box-office-up-417093

  21. ‘The Angels Share’ (2012) Dir. Ken Loach “The films that have succeeded have not tried to ape Hollywood. They have typically British subjects, done in an entertaining, confident way” (Grant – 2007) Key Term: Realism

  22. Key Term: Shoestring Film ‘The Angels Share’ (2012) is a prime example of a Low budget British film that endeavors to provide verisimilitude(realism) for it’s target audience without being overpowered by the business and money making Hollywood machine. Estimated Marketing Budget: ?

  23. Key Term: Cross over Hit Who Distributedthis film? Why did this NOT succeed in being a Cross-over hit?

  24. Key Term: Cross over Hit Was the film successful in the US? Critically: YES Commercially: NO

  25. Why so low? Was the film marketed poorly? Was released in Multiplex cinemas?

  26. What do you hope the audience will take out of this film? • I hope they’ll enjoy meeting the folks in it, particularly the young people who are either referred to as ‘petty criminals’ or ‘benefit claimants’ or whatever, and just see that they are rounded, humorous, proper, real people; and that for every one of that million unemployed statistic, there are a million kids who are facing a fairly hopeless future – and here’s four of them. Aren’t they interesting to meet and aren’t they complex and valuable, worth something really? I hope they’ll see that as well as enjoying the tale. • The verbal codes highlighted above provide some very profound connotations in terms of our film consumption habits – “hope” connotes that Loach is potentially aware that the film is not going to reach the popcorn fuelled teenager of the multiplex, however through viral marketing and word of mouth, maybe the film will get the exposure and acclaim it deserves.
