2, inside out. They released this film because its near summer and in the holidays its a

Themes: The indominus rex, the synthetic hybrid dinosaur at the center of the film's
story, is symbolic of consumer and corporate excess. The dinosaur was "meant to
embody [humanity's] worst tendencies. We're surrounded by wonder and yet we want
more, and we want it bigger, faster, louder, better. The director theres something in the
film that portrays our greed and desire for profit. The Indominus rex, is very much that
desire, that need to be satisfied.

- it was founded by: William Swanson, Jules Brulatour and Charles Obaumann.
There is many other world famous block busters produced by Universal Studios such
as…
- Jaws
- Fast and Furious 7
- Despicable Me
- Harry Potter
- Secret life of Pets, which were all successful films.
PRE-PRODUCTION: On January 11, 2013, Universal said the film would be shot in 3D
and released on June 13, 2014. In February, it was reported that Kathleen Kennedy
would not be producing the film in favour of focusing on Star Wars: The Force Awakens
for 2015. Her husband and production partner Frank Marshall took over as the primary
producer. Shortly thereafter, the director of studio operations at Raleigh Studios in Baton
Rouge, Louisiana, confirmed that Universal Pictures had reserved space there from April
to November 2013, without specifying the project for which it was reserved. —As
Kennedy prepared Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Brad Bird — who wanted to work on
the film but was too busy with Tomorrowland — suggested to her that she employ
director Colin Trevorrow to work as a stand-in during the pre-production of Star Wars.
This instigated Kennedy and Marshall to watch Trevorrow's first film, Safety Not
Guaranteed. Impressed by it, Marshall subsequently arranged a meeting between
himself, Trevorrow and Spielberg regarding the Jurassic Park job. Trevorrow flew from
his home in Vermont to Amblin's offices in Los Angeles, where he was subsequently
hired without reading Jaffa and Silver's script, which was still being written. Universal
announced Trevorrow as director on March 14, while adding that Patrick Crowley was a
co-producer.
Casting:
By August 15, 2013, John Krasinski was in talks for a role as a dinosaur tamerIn
September 2013, Bryce Dallas Howard was in early negotiations to play a role, and was
cast in early November. By mid-October, Ty Simpkins had been cast as the child lead
and Jake Johnson was being considered for a role. Nick Robinson was cast as
Simpkins' character's older brother, while Josh Brolin was in talks to play the adult lead.
By the middle of November, Brolin was no longer in talks for the film, and Chris Pratt
was in early negotiations for the lead role, a "rugged, ex-military man named Owen.

Sound/music:
The musical score was composed by Michael Giacchino, who had previously scored the
video games Warpath: Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Themes from
John Williams' previous Jurassic Park scores were also incorporated by Giacchino. "It
was a really targeted approach, as to where to [include Williams' themes] and where
would make the most sense and where would we most appreciate it, as fans ourselves,"
said Giacchino. A soundtrack album was released on June 9, 2015, by Back Lot Music.
Distribution:
Above the line costs:
Marketing material: The trailer was effective because teaser trailers were released
before the extended official trailer, creating excitement and curiosity of what the film is
going to be like. The official extended video was released after giving a feel and more
information of the story line, to intrigue and lure viewers in. A poster of the movie is
effective because it can be placed anywhere and everywhere from billboards on busy
roads or areas or on public transport for commuters to see everyday, although it isn't as
detailed it is still super effective.
Buying media advertising: Jurassic World has many website banners, outdoor posters
(discussed above), tv interviews of the actors for example on the Ellen show, magazine
articles for example in popular film magazine Empire and advertisement and radio.
Below the line costs:
Synergy / Cross promotions with partner company outside the film industry: Universal
Pictures and JCDecaux teamed up and transformed Londons Waterloo station into a
Jurassic World theme park to promote their new movie. The experimental campaign
dominated every location within the station and provided and unique viewing experience
by utilising a new audio synchronisation product called Beakle.
The public were encouraged to connect to the campaigns audio content using their
smart phones via a URL displayed on the stations large screen. Commuters waiting fro
their trains can then watch and listen to Jurassic world film trailer being displayed on the
screens; located by the departure boards. There was additional audio guide for a
dinosaur museum in the below level of the station.
The station also showcased life-sized 3D models of the movies's star raptors: Blue,
Delta, Echo and Charlie, creating an impressive centre piece that also projects sounds,
attracting audiences.
Synergy and convergence can aid my film Jurassic World as it can help advertise the
films itself and thus help to increase the films sales. Jurassic World had models of the

famous characters made (seen in station) along with CD soundtracks and other
memorabilia.
Red Carpet Premiere: June 9 in Los Angeles. Huge premiere, two screenings of the
movie because so many people attended, first premiere the director ever attended.
Social Media: The Facebook page has been used exclusively as a fictional theme park,
Twitter‘s fast-paced nature gives the film more space for promotion, with actor Q&A’s,
screenshots from the previous movies and exclusive video clips. It’s a great strategy.
Youtube is also used so you can see interviews and videos of the main actors doing
Q&A in videos together, used for entertainment. (provide teasers) On twitter since filming
began in April 2014, the director was tweeting photos that may seem futile to non-
Jurassic fans, but to the fans, these were cleverly crafted snaps which left people
wondering and anticipating.
Advertising:
Posters,Trailers: (written above)
Press advertising: Newspapers, magazines.
Website: The website is no ordinary movie site, that just includes a trailer, some media,
PR material and a interesting game or content. But JurassicWorld.com is a thing of
beauty; its a real site for Jurassic World the park, and it treats users not a moviegoers,
but as potential park visitors. However there is too a website JurassicWorld.co.uk that
opens with the trailer and it leaders you onto the interactive website.
Cross promotion: (written above)
Merchandise: There is a variety of merchandise such as the well known t-shirt with the
logo on, in addition it is a sequel from the first movie “jurassic park” which is featured in
its production companies (universal pictures) theme park universal, which sells
merchandise such as mugs, clothes, toys and memorabilia.
Home media: Jurassic World was released on DVD, Blu-ray, and Blu-ray 3D on October
20, 2015. Upon release, it sold nearly three million Blu-ray and DVD units in its first
week, making it the highest-selling home entertainment live-action film both for Universal
and of 2015. Across all digital and physical formats, Jurassic World generated $82.6
million in its first week. At the end of 2015, it was named the second-highest selling

highest-selling DVD and the second-highest-selling Blu-ray in the country.

Poster:
There is many posters which are all similar including an amazing and eye catching full
bleed image in high definition, which doesn't include the actors names as the franchise
is already well known and popular enough it doesn't need its stars to help promote the
movie. In the majority of the film posters the main actors are not featured but are just of
the CGI beasts. All posters include the famous and recognisable logo, which is placed in
front the bright of the bright vibrant colours. A poster of the movie is effective because it
can be placed anywhere and everywhere from billboards on busy roads or areas or on
public transport for commuters to see everyday, although it isn't as detailed it is still
super effective
Trailer: (detail above)
Jurassic world also uses an analogue camera so they could additional send to
small cinema which aren't as updated as new ones yet increasing views and
sales, they then also used a digital camera so its easily distributed too cinemas
etc…. and can be converted to 3D and imax.

Target Audience: The target audience would be people above 18 who know of the
famous Kray Twins and their rule of east London. The British are also a large part of the
target audience as it is filmed in London and is a British film. London had already knew a
story of the Kray brothers, therefore personalisation and bringing the story to life was key
across all the media created. When marketing this film they tried to make London feel
like a character in the film rather than just a mere setting in the film, the outdoor
campagine focused on bringing to life the old Krays stomping ground as well as
exhausting large digital formats in key cities that would 'take over' london much like the
Krays did.
Opening Weekend: $86,836 (USA) (20 November 2015) The hunger games mocking jay
