My Film Idea
The genre of the film is action.
The age rating rating is 15.
The target audience is teenagers aged 12-16, male, hobbies would be hanging around with friends and going out and playing video games, interests would be in girls and guns.
My film location would be at isolated island of the cuban coast.
The characters would be a man who was in a covert ops who took out a high rep terrorist group and shut them down, he is a very good gentlemen and is modest and calm. He is going to be called Jack Bishop and is 32 years old. He has a wife who is young and pretty and has a very friendly personality and she is called Jessica Reed and is 29 years old and they have an daughter who is only 6 years old and is called Hellen Bishop.
Jack Bishop was a veteran in the covert ops and was the best. Although he took out a high rep terrorist group called "Flint". The Flint look for revenge and take hostage of his wife and daughter in exchange for all of his money and information about his recent operations. Jack is confused on what to do and is put through a traumatizing decision as he either gets the info and money or his wife and daughter, he is afraid that The Reapers will kill his wife and daughter even though he will get the money and info. So he does what he is trained to do and goes undercover tracking down his wife and daughter through all kinds of environments. He goes through all sorts of action that all male teenagers would like and also is put down into final decision when he finds out that his wife and daughter is hooked up to explosives.

Conventions of a Horror Movie
In a horror film you would find that they use the colors Red, black, white and orange. In horror to make it effective the scenes would normally be in the night, so it shows darkness and pitch black not knowing whats out there. If the characters were trapped it would be more effective to scare the audience because they have no escape and that there isn't going to be a good ending either and it could build up tension for a bigger jump. The costumes would be casual clothes for the person or group of people running from the killer or villain of the film, if it was the evil in the film it would be anything depending on what it is e.g monster, serial killer, demon. The actors would have a very sinister face when acting and can really look into the eyes of a killer or villain e.g Jackie Earle Haley, Ashley Bell. The conventional characters would be a demon, serial killer or monster normally it would be a group of character running away instead of just one. Also the examples of films would be Nightmare on Elm Street, The Last Exorcism, Paranormal Activity, Friday 13th.
Different Film Marketing Methods and what they are suitable for
The marketing methods I can remember from today are:
Film posters,
Trailers,
Clothes,
Video Games,
Documentary on the film,
Film websites.
Today I learned that some film marketing methods are suited to particular audiences. For example: Creating a poster for a film is best suited to a film whose audience is more going out because they will see the posters around more frequently than people who stay inside. Another example is, that creating a film website for a film is best suited to a film audience that go on the internet more because they would surf the internet and would found out more info through the film websites.
Today I learned that some film marketing methods are suited to particular genres of film. For example: Having a video game for a film best suited to a film which is from the action genre because you get to replay what they did in the film and actually feel like your doing it instead of them which you wouldn't normally be able to do. Another example is, that having a trailer for a film is best suited to a film which is from the horror genre because it gives you a taste of the horror in the film and if its in 1st person it could give an effect that its actually you.

Marketing Campaigns
Viral:
Viral campaigns are campaigns that are spread through the internet and social networking life facebook and you tube. Loads of people use youtube and facebook so they see it every day it also spreads from word of mouth-to-mouth talking, as they can chat about it because they can relate because they have both seen the youtube and facebook promotion.
High Budget:
High budget campaigns are when they are made with a lot of money in different and many sets and very famous actors. The sets could be anywhere and could cost some money to get to, also effects that are included in the films need to be done by a good graphics designer and this means that high budget films have a good cast.

Film Marketing Research
1.) Film marketing means that audiences will know the film through promotion. Studios would use expensive campaigns to promote there film as this greatly increases the profit, as promoting a film early would increase the awareness of the audience towards the film.
2.) A film poster is a way of prmoting films. They normally show the title of the film, a picture of characters in the film or an picture which represents the film, age rating, actors, directors and producers. They show this information so the audience know what actors are in it, they could have actors which they may particuarly like and may see the film just because of them. Also audiences recognise the studio and may have watched their other films and like them too and may want to see their next one.
2 examples of film posters are:
I wanted to add another one.
3.) Film trailers are meant to give you a taste and a little 'sneak peak' at the content inside it, it also could interests audiences if they like that kind of genre. Trailers could also leave a little cliffhanger wanting audiences to find out what happends making them go to see the film. Also trailers have a very epic feeling to go with it if it goes with the right music and the if the atmoshpere was very well set, it also shows the actors in it. It would draw attention from the audience by different features depending on the genre.
A recent railer I have seen is The Immortals and like it because it has a war styled theme to it which I like, it also has a ancient Greece style to it because it had Gods and guardians in it. It also showed epic scenes of armies charging towards each other and made you feel like your in the middle of the war looking at it from the inside and all the details instead of just looking from a bird eyes view.
4.) Film merchandise is products that you can buy related to the film, you may want to buy merchandise because you like collecting things or maybe your a very good fan of the film or studio.
3 examples of merchandise:
5.) On a film website you can normally find a trailer and if the film is not out on the cinema anymore and the DVD is released. It would normally promote the DVD and tell you to buy it, it shows images and a brief story and some images too.
6.)
Orange promote themselves in the cinema as they made adverts to turn off your phone to not disturb the film, they also do 2 for 1 deals on every Wednesday making more people go cinema which causes more revenue.
7.)
The title of the film: Nightmare on Elm Street
Slogan: Welcome to Your New Nightmare.
Colours: The colors show red and and black their connotations are death, blood, murder, horror, scary, plague, moody, scared, frightened.
Font: The font looks tarnished and is red showing struggle and murder and blood.
Images: Its got the villain in a wise, intimidating pose.
