10. I believe that the best way of researching information is by
using the internet. This was proven when we had to wright
10 questions about media by using a textbook to find out the
answer. We then had to swap the questions over and then
answer someone else 10 questions by using the internet. It
was easer to use the internet another good thing about the
internet is that it can be regally updated. Although the
internet is fast you can never know if the information you
are getting is right. This one of the reasons why a textbook is
a good thing is that there is other peoples opinion on the
subject. However although there are good points to having a
textbook there are also bad for example, they might not be
updated as much and if you are using an old book in the new
one there could be more information that hasen’ t been
added.

12. The purpose of this research project is to
determine the type of film that your
company will be making.
The research methods that I will be using to
help find out the best film for you to make is
secondary and primary research.
13. Secondary research includes looking at film
reviews and finding out what improvements
that they suggested for the film genre we are
looking at doing
Another set of research that I will be
conducting is primary research, this includes
me doing surveys, interviews and focus
groups.
I have already conducted a survey

16. YouTube: is a social networking site that
allows people to upload and shear things.
Can be used for secondary research as it is a
place where you can put videos of anything
on the website, which could allow people to
see your trailer and see what thy think of it
by sing how many people have commented,
liked or disliked or even watched it.
17. For my primary research I will be conducting a
range of surveys. I have already done a small
one that I have conducted within my class.
However my new one will have a range of
questions that will help determine what film
will be the best to create.
Another way of primary research is by doing a
focus group. This will be done after the survey
to tighten up any loos ends when it comes to
some of the answers I have been given on my
survey.
18. Facebook: is a place where you can share your life
story. Can be used as primary research as it is a
place to get opinions, you could just have the
trailer on the screen and see how many people like
it and see the comments of the films.
Twitter: is where you can share funny things that
has happened in your life. Twitter can be used for
the same reason as it is a way to get the world
talking about a new film, you could also get the
worlds opinion on the film as well.

22. Over the past couple of weeks I have been conducting a range of research to decide what type of film is best suited for your company.
Firstly I started with some secondary research, this resulted in me going onto the website IMBD http://www.imdb.com/ and looking at the films that have been selected to have been the
best film and genre made in 2012. The genre that came up as being the best of 2012 was action. This has been backed up as the film Django Unchained was voted the number one film of
2012 on the website IMBD.
I then went on to find the best actors and actress; I went onto 2013s Oscar nominations to find the best actor and actress that were voted by the public. http://oscar.go.com/mypicks. As I
was looking at this website I found that it would be best to pick all three and then let the public decide using my primary research to see which one they thought was the best actors and
actress. My findings led me to find that Bradley Cooper, Hugh Jackman and Denzel Washington where up for the best actor. Whereas Anne Hathaway, Jenifer Lawrence and Naomi Watts
where up for the best actress. I then went on to find a director and I thought that I would look at directors that have produced a range of films that have won awards and are an all feel
good films. The directors that I chose where Steven Spielberg, Justin Lin and Michael Bay. Lastly I looked on YouTube to see what comments the trailers for similar films got.
Once I had finished my secondary research I then went on to look at my primary research. I did this by conducting a survey, a focus group and asking questions on social networking sights
such a Twitter and Facebook.
For my survey I asked 10 questions to 9 different people 4 which were male and 5 that where female.
With the results for my survey I can see that the majority of people liked romantic comedy/ action films. The results told me that Bradley Copper and Anne Hathaway where seen as being
the best actor and actress of this generation. When I looked at the results of the directors I was surprised with the outcome. The director that was picked by the public was Justin Lin, Justin
Lin was the man who directed all of the fast and furious films and is going to be directing the 7th next year. Although he was chosen by the public I believe that he is not the man to direct
the film you want to make. For my next question I asked how people liked to watch their films. The majority of the public said that they like a film that they could watch with friends and
family or on their own. So this means that we will have to make a film that is suitable for all the family.
I then went on to do my focus group and hear is my results. My results for my focus group where that the best genre is between action comedy and horror. I also found out that the best way
people like to watch their films is in the cinema because it brings a good atmosphere, also with friends so that they can have a good time laughing at a film. Lastly I found out that what
makes a film memorable is if it has a good story line and actors that can act in the way you want them to.
Lastly when I looked at the social networking sights I asked people like would they want to watch a film that had a certain genre, I got some replies but not many that I used the findings.
So by using all of the research that I have provides for your company, I can see that you need to make a film that is family friendly so a 12A rating, to have a film that falls into the genre
category of romantic comedy and action combined such as 21 Jump Street. Although my results say that the public like the director Justin Lin believe that he is not the right person to direct
this film, this is because he is not experienced in the romantic side of the film industry. So I have decided that the best director for the film that you want to make is Steven Spielberg, this
is because he has directed many films that fall under the categories of romance, comedy and action such as Paul (comedy) the adventures of Tintin: the secret of the unicorn, and all of
these films have made over $471,977,966 because of all the films that Seven Spielberg has directed has been a great hit I believe that this will help the film be successful when it is
released. Lastly the best way to make someone want to buy the film when it comes out on DVD and Blueray is to have a script or story line that will sick in the watchers mind, and if there is
also good actors that can play the role, that is why I sagest that by looking at my primary research Bradley Copper and Anne Hathaway are the best actors for the job as they have been in
films that conduct of action comedy and romance. They have also starred in some of the biggest blockbusters within the past 2 years. Such as Bradley Copper has starred in the hit film The
hangover trilogy, this films made over $1,399,94829 within the box office where as Anne Hathaway has been in the hit film les mislabels which has made $441,809,770. Because of the
amount of money the films they have been in, this means that they were successful and therefore will help promote the film you are going to make.
When it comes to a released date I was thinking that the best date to realise it would be September next year, this is because although there is some films that are being released in the
same month, there is only 2 with one of the same genres. This includes Search party, which is a comedy and Resident Evil 6 and action film. There is non that has the same genre as this film
or actors.
And lastly the budget I did some research in to how much Anne Hathaway and Bradley copper got paid on there last films, I found out the Bradley Copper got 15million for the Hanover part
3 and Anne Hathaway got 10million for her part in Les Miserables therefore I think the best budget would be 30 million this is to pay everyone who is part of the film and extra for any props
or equipment needed.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my findings.
23. My plot is going to involve the genres action comedy
and romance. With the main casting as being Bradley
Copper and Anne Hathaway.
Name: Good Cop/ Bad Cop
The main plot of the film is going to be a male
character played by Bradley Copper, who is a cop with
a mild form of bipolar, who likes to do things his way
and not by the book. His last case got dismissed by the
court because of the way that he collected the
evidence, this leads him to forget other cases that he
has been assigned, so that he can try to solve the case
he had lost. On his journey he teams up with a woman
played by Anne Hathaway. During the film you see that
there is a love interest between the to characters
which leads you wondering if they would ever get
together.
