Hey guys... you might be good at this! START A CONSPIRACY...
http://www.escapefromthesun.com/operahouse_conspiracy/
What can I win?
On 27th April we’ll count up who has the most ‘believers’. The top ten conspiracies with the most ‘believers’ will go into the final where a winner will be chosen by industry experts.
The grand prize is a trip to Las Vegas for two (flights and accommodation included) with £500 spending money. Two runners up will win iPod touches.
The top ten conspiracies will be showcased at a special Operahouse event and everyone who submits a conspiracy will be given a pair of tickets to attend.
How do I take part?
Create a conspiracy: This can be an elaborate full blown conspiracy with an intricate back story, or just one piece of hoax evidence. It could be a video, website, picture, sculpture, or whatever you can cook up. For some inspiration on what to base your conspiracy on go here to get a feel for the album or visit http://www.escapefromthesun.com/
Submit your conspiracy to our website: Submit a thumbnail image that best represents your conspiracy and a link to where you can show people what you’ve created. You’ll then get a unique URL and landing page for your conspiracy so you can send people straight to this page to vote to say they are a ‘believer’.
Spread it across the internet: Send it to friends, add it to website and blogs, create a group, anything that will get people to say they believe it. Whether you try and trick people into actually believing you or let them in on your plan, it’s up to you how you get them to go and vote for your conspiracy.

What new trends in British cinema has the 21st century thrown up so far?
Industry old boys Mike Leigh (Vera Drake) and Ken Loach (Sweet Sixteen) continue to produce some of their finest and most challenging work, alongside a relatively new breed of vital UK directors like Shane Meadows (This Is England), Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People). There's also been some visionary work from a new wave of art-schooled filmmakers such as Steve McQueen (Hunger) and Duane Hopkins (Better Things).
We've seen storming comebacks by both James Bond and a couple of lumps of Plasticine (Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit), while the British horror genre has also been rescued from flatlining, via the likes of 28 Days Later, The Descent, and Eden Lake.
Film4, of course, has really cleaned up this century, with recent hits including Happy-Go-Lucky and The Last King Of Scotland. In the wake of Film4's recent BAFTA haul - nine of 'em shared between Slumdog Millionaire, In Bruges and Hunger, we here present our list of the best British films since 2000: the mad, the bad, and the just plain brilliant. "
"Bashing the British film industry has long been a national pastime...
October 10, 2004 Sunday shorts. "Bashing the British film industry has long been a national pastime, along with
moaning about the weather and worrying about the sex lives of politicians," writes Mark Kermode, introducing a big splashy feature in the Observer. "Yet unlikely as it may seem, there is currently an unfashionably buoyant air about contemporary British film-making - if not within the industry, then at least as far as audiences are concerned."Then it's on to mini-profiles of 25 prominent figures in British film - actors, directors, producers - and a brief round-up of some of the best British movies now showing or coming soon.
CONSIDER...
How does this extract from the Observer compare to anything you have heard about the British film industry lately?

“It (the poor old Britflick) has to be commercially viable and critically acceptable and thematically British and made for a big audience. Titanic wouldn’t have made it out of Southampton Water with that kind of ballast.”
Nick Roddick, Sight and Sound, July 2000, p5
THINK!
Ballast is heavy material that is placed in the hold of a ship or the gondola of a balloon to enhance stability. It is also something that gives stability, especially in character.

Marketing tools for "Lesbian Vampire Killers" film
Hi guys
This is the interactive Lapdancing widget we discussed in class.
You can create your own widget with your photo in the place of the protagonist by going to the official L.V.K. website (outside of school where you can access with appropriate Flash player!)
...should you want to.
Otherwise, please look at the promotional campaign material I gave out in class and remember to write down all the methods mentioned in it that were meant to create a "buzz" about this film. Then think... could you use any similar methods for the promotion of your own film product?
There are many excellent ideas that could easily be modified for your products!

WEEK 8 Classnotes
The following are answers to some of the tasks set in class to help with prep this week. (In case you missed a class or lost your notes!)
CASE STUDY TASK:
Watch the youtube video below and answer the two questions
Shane Meadows' This Is England - news item about the 18 cert
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQD7vd3B5A0
1) What classification did the BBFC give THIS IS ENGLAND when it was released, and why? (Give two specific reasons regarding the content of the film and different contexts that films can be consumed in.
2) What effect do you think the high BBFC rating had on THIS IS ENGLAND’s audience reach (* Theatrical Release cycle)?
3) What is just about the only legal way (mentioned) to show THIS IS ENGLAND in cinemas to people under 18 years of age?
Hey Look!!!
SOME ANSWERS AND SUGGESTIONS
TO MONDAY’S RESEARCH QUESTIONS
Targeting Audiences 2/3/09
1) What is the BBFC – British Board of Film Classification?
What ratings does it have and what do they stand for?
What classification would your film have? E.g. Rated 15 or 18 or…?
2) What is a demographic profile? Audience research: DemographicsA common and traditional method of audience research is known as demographics. This defines the adult population largely by the work that they do. It breaks the population down into 6 groups, and labels them by using a letter code to describe the income and status of the members of each group.These audience demographics are based on the National Readership Survey’s socio-economic grades seehttps://bac.hurtwood.net/owa/redir.aspx?C=96bd477168ea4df3b66d9f238476ce5b&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.nrs.co.uk
3) What is a psychographic profile? Audience research: PyschographicsThis is a way of describing an audience by looking at the behaviour and personality traits of its members. Psychographics labels a particular type of person and makes an assessment about their viewing and spending habits.
4) What is viral marketing?
Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness or to achieve other marketing objectives (such as product sales) through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of pathological and computer viruses. It can be word-of-mouth delivered or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet.[1] Viral promotions may take the form of
video clips,
interactive Flash games,
advergames, ebooks,
brandable software,
images, or even
text messages. The basic form of viral marketing is not infinitely sustainable.
The goal of marketers interested in creating successful viral marketing programs is to identify individuals with
high Social Networking Potential (SNP) and create Viral Messages that appeal to this segment of the population and have a high probability of being
passed along.
The term "viral marketing" is also sometimes used pejoratively to refer to stealth marketing campaigns[2]—the use of varied kinds of astroturfing both online and offline to create the impression of spontaneous word of mouth enthusiasm.

How to Get Your Indie Film on iTunes (...It's Not Easy)
If you are a filmmaker who wants to self-distribute your work in digital form, there’s probably nothing more frustrating to you than Apple’s indifference to helping you do that.You may own a Mac. You may use Final Cut Pro for editing. You may carry an iPhone or iPod in your pocket. You may have a MobileMe or .Mac account.But Apple doesn’t seem to want to help you do business online.I’ve harped on this issue since 2005, the year that Apple first started selling movies and TV shows on iTunes. Since then, iTunes has become the dominant marketplace for legal movie sales and rentals; in June, Apple said iTunes users were renting or purchasing 50,000 movies a day. (Apple’s rivals, like Amazon Unbox, Movielink, and CinemaNow, have never disclosed how many movies they sell and rent – but my belief is that they’re bit players.)So how do you get your movie sold on iTunes? It’s not easy, and Apple doesn’t make things any easier by supplying absolutely no official information to filmmakers who’d like to sell their work on iTunes. (By contrast, here’s CreateSpace’s crystal clear explanation of how to sell your work on Amazon Unbox – the best non-iTunes option that exists today.)Here’s the scoop: Apple’s strategy thus far has been to only work with aggregators, or services that will collect a number of indie films and then deliver them to iTunes. They don’t want to work directly with filmmakers. But there is no aggregator yet that will take just any finished film and deliver it to iTunes, in the same way CreateSpace (which is owned by Amazon) will take any finished film and sell it on Amazon Unbox.So, who (aside from indie-majors like Lionsgate and The Weinstein Company) is working with iTunes today? Here's my list. (If you know of others that would be interesting to indie filmmakers, mention them in the comments below.)- New Video seems to be getting a lot of full-length features onto iTunes, including “King Corn” and “Bomb It,” both recently-released docs, and Henry Jaglom’s “Eating,” from 2004. They also connected Ed Burns with iTunes for his latest film, "Purple Violets." One filmmaker who got his doc onto iTunes via New Video told me the split is 70/30, with 70 percent going to the filmmaker; he’d initially contacted Apple about selling his movie on iTunes (he has been self-distributing DVDs, and selling tens of thousands), and was told to get in touch with New Video. Here’s their contact info. And here's a recent story from Video Business about their relationship with iTunes.- Shorts International in the UK has distributed a few dozen short films through iTunes, including the recent Oscar-winner “West Bank Story.” Here’s the page that explains how to submit your film.- The Independent Film Channel (IFC) has a handful of features on iTunes, including “Four Eyed Monsters,” “Does Your Soul Have a Cold?” and “Before the Music Dies.” Oddly, all of them are priced at $3.99 instead of the usual feature film price of $9.99. Contact info here, here, and here.- Mediastile is the company that offered Sundance short films earlier this year on iTunes. One of these films, “Sick Sex,” is currently #2 on iTunes’ list of best-selling shorts, sandwiched in between two Pixar shorts. Mediastile also handled “The Tribe,” a short film that played at Sundance in 2006, and was briefly an iTunes best-seller last year. I’m not aware of any feature-length films that the company has handled, and no one at the company’s Lake Tahoe headquarters answers the phones, returns messages, or answers e-mail. (I happened to have the e-mail address of their president, and he did e-mai me to insist that the company is still in business, but didn’t return my phone calls.) I wonder what would happen if you wanted to call them to ask about getting paid? Their Web site, for the bold and courageous, is here.So this is the best that Apple can offer indie filmmakers? Apparently so.I’ve been told for the past year that other aggregators will soon, any day now, begin working with iTunes. Some of them may be more open to submissions than the four I’ve listed above. (By open, what I’d like to see is an aggregator accepting any finished film where the filmmaker can guarantee that there are no rights issues that will result in lawsuits… or at the very least any finished film that has played at least one festival.)Here’s who else could soon be delivering films to iTunes:- The Independent Online Digital Alliance. Already distributes music to iTunes. Their online application is here. IODA chief Kevin Arnold says via e-mail that they are "working on initial deliveries and ingestion now. No solid ETA yet though."- Film Baby. Film Baby’s sister company, CD Baby, already distributes music to iTunes. - IndieFlix. Co-founder Scilla Andreen told me this week that she expects a few IndieFlix titles to show up on iTunes in the fourth quarter of 2008, at the earliest.- The guys at Cinetic Rights Management say they're close to a deal to work directly with iTunes.Again, Amazon.com's CreateSpace is the best option today for selling your film in digital form, in my opinion. But you'll have to drive customers to your work -- unlike iTunes, where the customers are already buying movies in big numbers.And if you know of other routes to getting onto iTunes, or have opinions about the ones I've listed, post them here!
