3. The purpose of a marketing campaign.
• The purpose of a marketing campaign is to try and promote a film by
creating various marketing techniques and selling merchandise to make the
audience aware of what film is actually coming out and it helps to try and
make the film stand out and it will help creating a bigger profit.
• It also help to pull the audience in and persuade them to go and see the
film.

certain product such as billboards, newspapers or magazines.

websites.

6. The teaser posters colour
scheme is all blue with a bit
of white to show the
audience that’s this film
could be set in the winter
or it could be about
someone with magical
powers as Disney films
normally have character
will abnormal or magical
powers and this will pull
the audience in.
Then reason why they have
added the creators of tangled
and wreck it ralph is to show
the audience that the people
who made them films are
making this film as well. It will
pull the audience in because
tangled and wreck it ralph were
both well relived by critics and
audiences so they will want to
see the film for Disney's track
record of good films.
The poster has a release date to
show the audience when it
available to watch. It shows that
the film is being released in
November and November is
when winter starts and the
snowflake in the middle of the
poster relates to winter. It
doesn't show the tear it will be
released. They could of don’t to
created hype for the audience
as they what for the year of
release to be shown.
The Disney logo is a selling point
because Disney is known for its
films that has an all ages
demographic.
7. The figure show the
audience that the is are
Frozen Figure and this
will pull the audience in
by wanting them want
to by the figure for their
children as Frozen is a
film for all ages.
The title shows the
audience that this
these figures of the
characters are from
frozen and this will
pull the audience in
by showing them that
they actually are from
frozen.
This marketing technique is effective
because it help make a profit
releasing figure to help promote the
film and make a profit by selling
merchandise.
8. The poster future the
character that are going to be
in the film. It will pull the
audience in by showing the
audience the cartoonish
looking character will make
them want to take there kids
to see the film as it is suitable
for their demographic. The
dominant images look like
they have been structured as
a hierarchy. The snowman
Olaf is considered the best
character and he holds his
head up as high as he can to
show popularity and power.
The poster tells the
audience that this film is
also going to be in 3D to
help make a profit as
watching a film in 3D is
more expensive see.
Disney film are also
known to distribute they
films in cinema's with an
option to see it in 3D.
The Disney Logo is a good
marketing technique because it
will pull the audience in by
making them want to see it
because it shows that this is a
Disney film and Disney is
known to create film for all
ages and that will help make a
profit as kids and adults alike
will want to see it.
The poster shows the audience that
it film is going to be released on
thanksgiving. The film being
released on thanksgiving gives the
audience a message about coming
together and thanksgiving is about
coming together and celebrate and
the dominant images of all off the
character are together.
9. The Frozen Facebook page is a good marketing technique because according to sproutsocial.com, 81% of 18-29 year olds and
78% of 30-49 year olds use Facebook. People at that age usually have kids and when log on to Facebook and see the Facebook
page for frozen, it will make them aware that the film going coming soon and it will be good for their kids. When the Facebook
page was created, the first posts on the page was concept art and multiple font changes to build up hype for the audience as it
will make them think that this is going to be something amazing.
The Facebook page also
promotes a streaming service
where you can watch the film.
This is a form of product
placement for Disney as they
will want people to download
there app and subscribe to it to
create a profit off it.
10. Snapchat promoted Frozen by creating filters that relate to Frozen witch can be used to take photographs' with. The
filter would make your hair and eyes to blue and make them look like snowflakes. This is to show the audience that
frozen is set in the winter and winter is associated with the colours white and blue and associated with snow, ice and
snowflakes. The filter will make them want to go and see Frozen by making the audience think that if the film is
showing up as a snapchat filter, it is going to be a big film.
11. The teaser trailer for Frozen only feature 2 of the characters in
the film. The tone of the trailer is light hearted and comedic as
the moose tries to eat the snowman's nose. This trailer shows
the audience that this film is going to be a funny and
entertaining film that will be best suited for children and this
will help attract an audience. It also gives the audience the
wintery setting of the film to show the audience that this is
going to be set in the winter and it could ether be about
Christmas or set in a world surrounded by snow. It will pull the
audience in by wanting to know why it is set in winter. The
trailer is slow paste as it is mainly aim at kids and kids don't
the the processing power of an adult so keeping it at a slow
paste will make it easier for a younger demographic to
understand what is going on in the trailer. The lighting in the
trailer is mostly light to show the audience that this film is
going to be light hearted and kid friendly and this will
persuade the audience to go and see the film and it will
appeal to kids because it the trailer is has bright lighting, they
will enjoy the film.
12. All 3 of the product link together because of the font of the film title as all 3 of them have the same font to show
the audience that they link to the film that is coming out to help raise awareness that this film is going to be big.
this technique was carried on to its sequel Frozen 2 as that film di the exact same thing. These 3 products also link
together with the colour blue as all 3 of the product have a blue background behind the title to show that the film
going going be about winter. These 3 products also link because the product all have the same characters to show
that they all relate to the film.
