Your chosen movie
1) What film have you chosen?
I have chosen the film Hunger Games

2) Why did you choose this film in particular?
Because its an outstanding film with a rating of 7.2 out of 10 and the genre of the film is Adventure Sci-Fi Action.


1) What was the film studio or production company behind your chosen film? E.g. Warner Brothers, Paramount etc.

The company that was involved in making the hunger games were Lionsgate  and Colour Force.

2) Who was the distributor for the theatrical release of the film in the UK?
The distributor for the theatrical release was Lionsgate.

No brand loyalty
1) What genre does your chosen film fit into?
Action Adventure and Dystopian Science Fiction.

2) How can you tell it fits that genre? Be specific with reference to the trailer.
I can tell that its adventure because it has quests and different locations and the reason why I can tell its action is because there are props such as weapons and arrows which have connotations of fighting and violence. There is also deaths which is a narrative feature of action films. I can tell it is science fiction because its futuristic.

3) Does your chosen film have any stars or a director that are known for that particular genre?
In this film
I would say the genre at beginning of the film would be Fantasy the reason for this is because there is a person who is dressed posh and old fashion.


It’s all a matter of timing
1) What was the UK release date for your chosen film?
The release of the film was 19th November 2015.

2) When did the first trailer appear on YouTube for your movie? Find the earliest example you can and embed it in your blog.


3) What other examples of marketing (teaser trailers, main trailers, newspaper or TV interviews etc.) can you find for your chosen film from before the film’s release date?

I could only find a teaser trailer before the actual however this trailer is 2011 before the actual release of the trailer




1) What was the word-of-mouth like for your chosen film? If you can’t find tweets (probably blocked) use the IMDB user review rating or the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer rating to judge whether the public have given the movie a good review.

I done my researche on tomato metre and 81% people liked it which is brilliant.

2) Find three quotes (no more than 25 words each) from user reviews of your movie to create a picture of what the public reaction to the film has been. Post them on your blog.

1)"I think it's our tradition. It comes out of a particularly painful part of our history...". 
2) "No? I don't believe it for a second. Look at that face. Handsome man like you. Peeta... tell me."
3)"But I don't think she actually recognised me until the Reaping"
Risky business

Use IMDB to find out the box office records for your chosen film. Find your film, click on Company Credits and then Box Office/Business. You may want to use the excellent website Box Office Mojo to find out the budget and box office success for the film.
$408,010,692

1) What was the original budget for your chosen film?
The original budget was $78,000,000.

2) How much money did the film make in the opening weekend?
It made more than $152,535,747.

3) How much money has the film made in total? (Look for the subheading ‘Gross’ which has the total box-office earnings listed).
The film made in total  $121,774,647 which is incredible 

4) For a film to be considered a box office success, it needs to make at least two-and-a-half times the budget in box office takings. Using this method, was the film you have chosen a success? (Or, if it's a recent release, do you expect it to be a box office success?)

It was a big success because it made more than $407,999,255 which is a big success for the company.
