Media convergence and synergy
Here are my findings from analyzing the marketing and promotional material for The Harry Potter series and This is England:
- The Harry Potter print poster features the main characters and is clearly aimed at a young audience, capitalizing on the popularity of the book series.
- Extensive marketing across multiple Warner Bros. properties like TV channels, music, and books shows synergy. The film soundtracks being released on record labels owned by the studio also demonstrates synergy.
- Technological convergence is seen in the ability to watch the films online or on streaming services, as well as purchase soundtrack music digitally. This expands access.
- This is England's marketing featured the gritty coming-of-age story and realist drama

The film production process involves many steps and people from development through distribution. It is both a creative and commercial endeavor. Producers play a key role by developing ideas, securing financing, overseeing production, and ensuring investor expectations are met. Raising financing is challenging and involves creating packages with scripts, budgets, and details to attract investors who hope to achieve returns. The process from initial idea to final film can take many months or years and involve hundreds of people. Success is never guaranteed as public tastes are unpredictable.

By the mid-1990s, films like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Sense and Sensibility showed the two directions of British national cinema.

05 g322 section b production 2012

It notes that film is both a creative and commercial endeavor, requiring significant financing to fund production, distribution, and marketing.
