Jungle Book practical task

PRACTICAL JUNGLE BOOK TASK

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

A 2-3 minute interview with the marketing manager and producer of the new Jungle Book. If  there are three of you the producer and the marketing manager gets interviewed, if only two then take turns playing each of the roles and interview each other. The aim of these interviews is to get your audience to be excited about watching the film, it hasn't come out yet. The producer will talk about the exciting combination of actors and effects and the marketing manager can discuss all the ways they intend to promote the film. Go through your google slides and take notes of all the production and marketing techniques and devise questions for these.

Break it up into sections so that the interviewer can say let's take a look. Give us much information an be as interesting as you possibly can be and try to look at the interviewer when you speak. Maybe memorise a couple of lines at a time and then pause.

Film industry research

First week back - Film research - good luck in your PPEs

Look at chart below with films from 2016, make a similar one with top films that the big six have produced in 2018.

Create a table with the following headings. 

One to twenty along the left hand side of the top grossing films of 2018.

Headings across the top: Gross income, Production Company, Genre, Age certificate

• Looking at your chart, answer the following questions:

How many are from the big six? What company produced the greatest financial successes?
What genre of films dominate?

Are they blockbuster, indie, foreign? Any successes that aren't typically big grossing films?
How many are are sequels?
How many are blockbusters aimed at a younger audience?
How many different formats are there? ie 2D Name them.
What kinds of film genres seem to be missing?
How many of the film distributors seem to be producers as well?
Who do you think are the target audiences for most of these?

• Have a look at release schedule in the UK for December 2018, January 2019 and Feb. What are your findings? Winter months tend to focus on award winning films as it's award season, blockbusters tend to come out during the big school holidays starting around Easter.
