Essay question!

What significance does the continuing development of digital media technology have for media instructions and audiences?


The continued development of digital media technology is very significant to institutions and audiences as films and tv programs have changed over the years, they now use media technology in there production:


During the production stage of the TV show or film they will use digital technology such as 3D cameras to film a more exciting and better film. The development of the 3D camera has allowed people to shoot in 3D for people to see in cinemas or specialist home TV's, this has a large significance to the audience if they want to see a movie in 3D as it can make a movie better if their is lots of 3D parts in the movie, it is also good for the institution as they can make a film in 2D and 3D which broadens their target audience. Another example of digital technology used in the production stage is the edge arm, this allows the camera to stay steady and move closer to the action, which allows the institution to make better movies as they can get better action shots, it also improved the audiences experience as they get to see a better movie.


One type of digital technology which has been developed recently and used in the post production stage is CGI, although this is criticized a lot in modern movies because it makes them all very similar I believe that the visual effects it can add to the film are worth it, most movies use some form of CGI now, as people like to see large set pieces which will impress the audience. However I also believe that too much CGI is a bad thing, I think that the production must have other things, including a good story and actors to succeed, we see lots of films come out which rely mainly on special effects to wow the audience and a bad story which includes lots of action. CGI has a large significance over the audiences of the media production as it can draw many people to the film if they see it has good special effects or CGI, however it also pushes certain people away if they think the film is going to rely heavily on CGI then they may decide not to see the film. CGI also has a big significance to the institution as it allows better movies with more action to be made, however they are more expensive so less money will be spent of actors etc. We now use computers to digitally edit movies which is far cheaper and more efficient as it can be undone, redone and special effects added easily, this has had a positive effect on the audience as they can see better edited productions it has also had a positive effect on the institution as it allows better productions to be made and for them to be of a higher quality.


in the post production stage digital technology is used to advertise the production and to distribute the film. The internet or TV's allow the institution to show their movie off to lots of people at once, making people excited to see the movie or to buy tickets to see it. This is significant as thousands of people see the advert so can draw a lot of attention to the film, however it is very expensive to get adverts on TV. Another way in which the institution uses digital technology to get attention from audiences is that they release trailers or sneak peaks onto websites  like YouTube, this is good for the institution as they can advertise to lots of people for free, this is also good for the audiences as they get a preview of what the movie will have in it so can decide if they want to see it or not. Another way in which digital media is used in the post production stage is that it is they use VOD sights such as Netflix or AmazonPrime to distribute there production to lots of people at low costs, this is good for the institution s they can put their movies on these VOD sights and get paid, it is also a good thing for the audience as it allows them to see it in their home, on the move or almost anywhere however VOD sights are the alternative to illegally downloading movies which lots of people do for free, this is seen as being a bad thing as the movies are low quality and often have subtitles in a different language.


 Institutions also use viral marketing to draw attention to their movies as it allows them to advertise their movie for very little money and gets lots of attention, this is a good thing for audiences as well as they can express their views on the movie with their friends. Digitl technology is also being used to distribute the movie in the form of DVD's, this is positive for everyone because the DVD's are cheaper to produce and are better quality, they can also be distributed as Blu-ray disks which is simply a better DVD player, these Blu-rays are more expensive to buy for the user but normally contain a digital download code for the movie which allows the user to watch the movie on their phone, computer or TV which can really broaden the target audience.

First Essay (Improvements) Successful media products depend as much upon marketing, distribution to a specific audience as they do upon good production practices.

Successful media products depend as much upon marketing, distribution to a specific audience as they do upon good production practices.
To what extent would you agree with this statement, within the media area you have studied?




I believe that a successful film must have lots of things; including a specific target audience, a good marketing campaign and good production practices, I believe that a film shouldn't be classed as successful based on only the amount of money it makes, but also on the number of awards the film wins such as Oscars or Grammys. I also believe that they number of awards is important, not just the quality of them, Mad Max Fury Road got 3 awards, where as ExMachina only got 2 however the awards Mad Max got where more impressive as they where Hollywood film awards for Production Designer of the Year and Make-Up of the Year. which are harder to win because there are lots of films made in Hollywood with a larger budget.




The latest Mad Max film (Mad Max: Fury Road) included all of these features, where as ExMachina had some but not all of them this could be down to the huge budget gap between the films, Mad Max had a Hollywood sized budget of $150 million where as ExMachina had a smaller budget of only $15 million. Mad Max also had big stars in it such as Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, who can draw people to the film, if they liked their previous work or know their name from the media. To contrast this the British stand-alone film ExMachina stared only two less-well know actors (Domnhall Gleeson and Alice Vikenda) who are going to be staring in the new Disney's new Star Wars film so will soon be massive stars as they will be in one of the biggest films of 2015, this could mean that they where chosen for the Star Wars cast because ExMachina was a successful film and they enjoyed their acting within the film.






Both Mad Max and ExMachina had a script, however Mad Max started by story boarding the whole movie before creating a script so they where thinking about how the movie was going to look and feel before they even came up with the dialog this shows that they wanted the movie to be visually appealing from the start which ensured that the movie had good stunts and was targeted at people who like to see lots of action. ExMachina on the other hand used the traditional script method, to make sure it included everything it needed.


The idea for Mad Max: Fury road came from the previous three Mad Max films and continued the story onwards, this made it so that people who had seen the other films could see what happned next which attracts lots of people who have seen/enjoyed the other three movies. The concept of ExMachina came from a book called "the beach" which was written by Alex Garland the director of ExMachina. The beach is about isolation and despair, which could explain why the film is set in such an isolated area of the world and why certain characters are so isolated.




Both Mad Max and ExMachina where filmed in 2D however Mad Max was also originally shot in 3D which was cancelled and the 3D was added after shooting using new technology. ExMachina was only available in 2D so didn't offer cinema goers a choice to see it in 2D or 3D, where as MadMax offered them to see it in either 2D or 3D broadening their market in an unconventional way.




Mad Max was directed by George Miller who is known for several other films containing lots of action including 28 days later, 28 weeks later and the other Mad Max movies because he is well known as a good director people who liked his previous work might want to come and see his latest movie. ExMachina on the other hand was directed by Alex Garland, this is unconventional as this is his first time directing a movie so he isn't known by the public so wont really attract people to the film. A well know director can attract a large audience of people because they liked their previous films or because they are well known in the media.




ExMachina used a very clever marketing campaign to stir up attention and excitement about the film, they used social media in a controversial way to get free marketing as they post it online then people share it and then people who see that share it and it spreads all over the world quickly. The main marketing tool they used was they put a picture of the robot from the film on tinder a dating website and then continued to trick people to think they where talking to a person when it was really a robot, this was done at the south by south east festival in Texas which is a well known for lots of cool bands and attracts a large audiences. Although this marketing campaign was unconventional it was a success because it made a profit at the box office and spent very little of their budget on advertising and marketing.

Ex Machina essay

Ex Machina should not have been a big success at the box office as it did not include many special effects, large “set” pieces or well known actors; however it made a $36.9 million worldwide, $3.8 million in the UK and $25.4 million in America. Having a reasonably small budget the film can be considered a reasonable large success because it  had a reasonably small budget of $15 million, and made well over $35 million which is double the profit so is considered as a success. So Ex Machina was a success and it could be put down to one or more of the following things:

The film was classed as a sci-fi film because it involved a AI or artificial intelligence which is classed as a robot or alien as it isn’t fully human. The science part of the film came when they were talking about the modern technology used to make the AI, and the fictional element comes from it not being a true story. The film also contains some elements of romance as the main character (Caleb) falls in love with the AI. However the ending of the film was not romantic and was more sci-fi related which was unexpected, and a little disappointing as it was not the typical Hollywood ending where they live together happily ever after.

The film was produced by DNA films, a well know British Film Company which was founded by Andrew Macdonald and Duncan Kenworthy. DNA films have produced several other films such as Dredd, trainspotting and 28 days later all making a profit; they are well known as one of the biggest film production companies in the UK. A24 a newcomer to the distribution marketing bought the distribution rights to Ex Machina, have recently been exploring new marketing techniques to try and support smaller projects, because of this Ex Machina had a good marketing scheme:


The film used clever marketing techniques to get the media’s attention, these included trailers, teaser trailers, interviews with the cast/production crew, “the making of ava”, tinder dating scandal and the online quiz. They put the AI from the film (ava) on a dating website in order to attract media attention, people were angry because they had been talking to a machine when they thought they had been talking to a person. They also had a website which allowed people to interact with ava though a very basic set of questions, and they could then take a picture on their phone and she would “draw it”. Ex Machina ran on 4542 cinema screens in total, which is a lot for a small budget movie, at its peak it was at 2002 cinema screens at once. Another way that Ex Machina used clever marketing techniques was that it tied into the plot of the movie, because of this many nerdy or geeky people like the marketing and want to watch the movie. The plot of the movie is that they want to test an AI with the Turing test, they then used a tinder bot to make it seem as they are talking to people, making the movie seem really interesting.

The film is set in modern day time, which shows him with all this technology which we would class as sci-fi because it isn’t a normal house to have for regular people, which shows us that he is rich and that all he really cares about is making more money. The house that Nathan lives in is supposed to make us feel that he is technologically ahead of everyone else, showing his wealth and power over other characters and the rest of the world.

The film was made on a low budget of around $15 million which is nothing compared to a regular blockbuster, which normally has a budget of around $80 million. They saved a lot of money by using very few actors, who are not currently known as big actors however are thought to be upcoming actors who are preforming in the new star wars film, the cast included Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander and Oscar Isaac, and no CGI or special effects.

Ex Machina was filmed in a remote location in Norway which tells us how Nathan really wants the project to remain secretive, and attempt to wow the audience with all the technology and gizmos he has in his house, which emphasises how rich he is, the only issues they encountered whilst filming was that they had to use two different houses to make it seem bigger than it really was, this meant they had to keep moving between the houses to record the movie. The other issue they encountered was “pencilling” in ava’s body, which could have taken them along time to do.

The way the film was released around the world was clever because it premiered at the same time as the Avengers: Age of Ultron movie, which would normally be considered a mistake because people are much more likely to go see a large movie like that instead of a small movie. However Ex Machina was different because it started screening on only a few screens and then slowly increased as the hype for the new Marvel movie slowly dropped, allowing them to market it to a large number of people which made a steady increase in sales.

The film was a UK 15, America R because it showed full nudity. This means that the film is aimed at teenagers or adults who like the idea of technology, gadgets and gizmos. Because the film has a 15 or R rating it is not a four quadrant film, making it attract a specific audience, which consisted off mainly film buffs and sci-fi fans. Most films want to be in the four quadrants because it means there film is more likely to make money as it will have a larger target audience, however Ex Machina had a specific target audience which allowed them to make the film good for a specific set of people, so some people will like it, where’s other will not.

The film was made using no CGI, because there wasn’t a big enough budget to use it, this meant that they had to use “pencilling” which is difficult to do, and has a lower quality than CGI however it Is much cheaper than using other methods such as CGI or Special effects so saved them a lot of money.

The director has wrote 4 fairly well know films in the past however this was his first film as director, however he may have wanted his debut film was good, and not disappointing so that he would be hired as a director for other movies afterwards.

Overall the film should not have been a success, but it was because of the clever marketing they did, the low rated actors, lack of CGI and a small cast.

 

 

 

 

Representation (mission impossible 5)

Mission Impossible-Rouge nation




Script:

Mission impossible- Rough nation is part of a series of movies which is ranked 17th best selling movie series in the world making well over 2 billion dollars, staring A-list starts such as Tom cruse, this is well know as one of the biggest block busters around the world

The director of  the rouge nation movie was Christopher McQuarrie who has also directed other big blockbusters such as edge of tomorrow and the usual suspects, both making a substantial profits.

The movie was made by Paramount pictures, and had a budget of 150 million US dollars, or just under 100 million pounds. The film has a few well know stars but the biggest A-list stars are Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg and Jeremy renner.

It was announced that the film would be made in August 2013 however filming only began in august 2014, Tom cruise and Simon Pegg were spotted in Vienna's Metro along with a filming crew, this is thought to be the first scenes that were shot.

The fifth installment to the mission impossible franchise was filmed all over the world with locations including Australia, Morocco, London & America. using RAF facilities in the UK to film the plane scene and a Moroccan highway for the motorbike chase. The film had to re-shoot several scenes though, the crew returned to Morocco, to re-shoot the motorbike chase scene. 

Rouge nation was filmed in 2D and used as little CGI as possible to make the scenes seem more realistic however using in some places to make it exciting, and not dull. Another thing to note is that the film used as little special effects as possible, Tom cruse preformed the plane stunt himself at an altitude of 1.5 Kilometers! He also trained with a professional diver so that he could hold him breath and do the whole water scene in one shooting!

The film broke huge records including the biggest non-3D Hollywood film in the Chinese box office! Many believe this is de to the 42 million US dollars that were spent on advertisement, including the trailer, posters, TV advertisements, Website adverts and interviews with the cast.

The film premier was in Vienna, Austria, were Tom Cruise was seen posing with fans! The film made $55 million dollars on the opening weekend.
