A01 ADVERTISING TECHNIQUES FOR 'THE RAID 2'
The document analyzes the marketing campaign for the film "The Raid 2" in overseas markets. [1] The campaign had a small budget so it focused on an internet-based strategy to attract fans of martial arts and action films. [2] Trailers for the film emphasized fast-paced action and violence without revealing much of the plot to generate interest. [3] Other promotional activities included exclusive online content, film festival premieres, and competitions to engage audiences.
Evaluation question 3
Film 4 would be an appropriate distributor for the independent British film described in the document. As a UK film distributor owned by Channel 4, Film 4 has experience distributing both low-budget independent films as well as more mainstream films. Film 4 would consider the film's target audience, competition from other films, and whether the storyline would engage audiences - all important factors for successful distribution. Previously, Film 4 has distributed popular and financially successful films such as The Inbetweeners 2 and Step Up 3D.
Question 3
New Line Cinema would be the best distributor for the film because they have distributed similar genre films like Nightmare on Elm Street, Se7en, and the Final Destination series. Distribution has become more complex with technology - it now includes extensive marketing with trailers, posters, websites and forums to promote the film. The film will have a theatrical release, first showing in cinemas, then on airplanes, DVD, streaming services, and television channels.
Secondary audience research
Mainstream cinema audiences make up the largest segment of filmgoers. They tend to only watch popular blockbuster films that have significant marketing behind them.

Research showed that people the assistant spoke to preferred trailers and had seen recent mainstream sequels like Taken 2 and Paranormal Activity 4, demonstrating that this audience relies on familiar franchises.

Narrative enigmas in trailers
This document discusses narrative conventions and structure in psychological thriller movie trailers. It analyzes trailers for films like The Ring, Black Swan, and Devoured. Trailers for these types of films typically feature a mystery involving death or hallucinations that mentally attacks characters.
