I want you to pick a BLOCKBUSTER from the last 3 years and research HOW it made its money. I am NOT interested in whether it was a 'good' film, I just want to know HOW it followed the rules and WHY this meant it was a success.
Your research MUST be broken down into the following categories
Pre Production
- is the film an original idea, a remake, a sequal or an adaptation (or a combination)?
- who is the director?
- which studio(s) are making the film?
- what size budget did it have?
- which 'stars' signed up to be in the film?
- how long did it take from 'green light' to filming commencing
Production
- where was it 'filmed'
- how was it filmed (3D, 2D, CGI)?
- any problems it faced
Post Production
- does it rely on special effects?
- what sort of special effects are used?
- was 3D added AFTER filming?
- did it require any RE SHOOTS
Marketing
- How was the film marketed (find AT LEAST 5 different promotional tools)
- Where was the films premier?
Struggling for facts?
Add the term "Variety" to your google search. Variety is the Hollywood trade magazine that reports nothing but film news. You will need to register for more but it is worth it. Don't believe me?
