The document discusses the marketing process for the Hollywood blockbuster film "Need for Speed." It identifies the target audience as male car enthusiasts between ages 15-35 based on the popularity of the video game franchise. Extensive market research including audience surveys and focus groups would have been used to develop the marketing campaign. The campaign utilizes iconic posters showing fast cars and attractive women to anchor meaning and attract the target demographic. Synergy with the existing video game franchise helps drive interest in the film from that existing fan base.

indents, interactive menus, web banner) 0.00-0.08
Brief description: When it first appears we see a big number 4 with the letter E in the middle. Behind it seems to
What do you see? be some tentacles which we would usually find on an octopus. The designer probably choose
an octopus due to the fact its got nothing to do with the channel and it alerts people that their
watch a certain channel which is E4. There also seems to be beach balls and a deck chair tied
to a wire in the air while the tentacles seem to be appearing from a beach hut. The beach
reminds the audience of summer where it’s hot or maybe when their holiday giving them a
happy thought in their head making a more enjoyable channel to watch. E4 designed the sting
this way to show that that channel is a very happy and enjoyable channel which is suggest
through the use of bright colours and summer items such as the beach and deck chairs.
The colours consist of purple and white which signify the channel you are watching and
reminding you were you are. Also the camera mainly focuses on the E 4 symbol making it clear
in the audience’s minds that they are watching the E4 channel.
Techniques used: In the sting it manly consists of animation which has been done through CGI which can be
Animation, Visual Effects, Colour Rendering, done on adobe PhotoShop and adobe after effects. This is eye catching to the younger
Graphics, Movement audience because they would rather watch cartoons but it’s also eye catching to an older
audience due to the fact it’s out of the ordinary and very random. However an older audience
aren’t usually associated with watching cartoons therefore the sting can be seen as abit of fun
and something for people to enjoy without thinking to much. The animation towards viewers is
like a step out of reality considering E4 shows comedies and other visual shows. The sting
wakes the audience up due to the fact it’s different than anything else that’s shown on the
1
channel itself which is the idea of a sting and therefore meets the brief.

The only moving thing in the clip is the tentacles which appear from the back view of the shot.
This also grabs people’s attention because it has nothing to do with the channel and is also
very random and makes the watcher question why its there.
Advanced techniques: The colour in the sting has been sharpened and made brighter in order to make it clearer to
Blur, Sharpen, Distortion, Rotation, Opacity see and to make it stand out more.
If we look at rotation we see the camera make a slight pan to the left then stops just so if gives
the audience a bigger idea what’s on screen. It also makes sure there’s always something going
on in the screen so the watcher doesn’t lose interest. If we also look the images on the screen
all have sharp edges which have been done for a reason which is to represent the edges of a 4
which are also very sharp and have a point. If we also pause it so we can see each frame by
frame the opacity is always at 100% to give more of a solid images and solid colour. The
camera also pans round giving you more detail about what’s going on in screen but also the
camera is shooting from a very low angle which suggest that the octopus and the E4 symbol
has more power due to the fact that’s what E4 producers what you to look at the most.
Technical comments: E4 stings are made by different people using different video formats which can be wmv, mov,
Video Format, Screen Ratio, Resolution, mpg, 3gp, mp4, mpeg. All these can be done on different software for different computer
Frame rate, Compression which caters to everybody. This is a great advantage towards stings due to the fact they ca be
made into any format for anybody to access but also another advantage with stings is that they
can be made with any software such as adobe after effects and many others. A disadvantage
with the formats of stings is that not everybody can access a computer in order to transfer
their file into a certain software but also a lot of the software you can make your stings on is
very dear to download and not everybody can afford it.

Each sting can also have different resolutions for different types of tv. However the high the
resolution the lower the speed the clip plays at, but the lower the image quality the fast the
clip will play. In a lot of ways this is a win lose situation, but if you have the patience to let the
clip load so it doesn’t buffer then watching it in HD or in a higher resolution is a great
advantage.
Stings just like movies have frame rates which is the amount of frames show per second, the
normal frame rate for any clip is usually 24 frames per second however with the advance of
technology comes better detail which means more frames per second.
The e4 sting is 24 frames per second which is what everybody’s use to viewing giving this an
advantage due to the fact you get a lot of detail shown at a very good rate.
However if you wanted to add more detail and make the clip better quality you would have to
give it more frames per second e.g. 48 frames per second. This adds a lot more detail which is
a big advantage for telly’s or screens of a bigger resolution like cinema screens. However a
disadvantage of this is that a lot of people only have a small sized tv so the amount of detail
they will be receiving wont be much different from what they usually experience.
This can also link into compression, the better the compression the better the image being
shown.
A downfall with compression that sometimes a lot of it can be lost which results in loss of
colour or loss of detail which is a big error when you in media.
However a advantage of compression is that it can apply to anything such as cartoons or
normal imagery giving people more options.

Frame Rate - The number of video or film frames displayed each second (frames per second; fps). PAL frame (standard UK TV) is 25
fps, NTSC (standard US TV) is 30 fps, film is 24 fps. This means as NTSC updates more regularly there is less strobing
(jerkiness).
Compression – The use of Codecs (WMV, DivX) to reduce the file size of a video by a variety of methods. This sometimes means a loss in
image quality (a “lossy”). Codecs are found in Video Cameras, DVD players / recorders, Editing Packages, Video upload
