3. DREAMWORKS
THE SPECIALISE IN ANIMATION
’THE CROODS’ WAS THEIR MOST RECENT ANIMATION MOVIE.
THE TARGET AUDIENCE FOR DREAMWORKS’ MOVIES WOULD YOUNG CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 5-15. HOWEVER THE MAJORITY OF THEIR AUDIENCE WOULD BE FAMILIES WITH SMALLER CHILDREN.
PIXAR
PIXAR SPECIALISES IN ANIMATION MOVIES
‘MONSTER’S UNIVERSITY’ WAS THERE MOST RECENT ANIMATION MOVIE
THE TARGET AUDIENCE WILL ALSO BE FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN AGES 5-15. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THAT PIXAR HAS RELEASED A RANGE OF MORE POPULAR MOVIES, THEREFORE A WIDER RANGE WOULD GO TO SEE THEIR MOVIES. FOR
EXAMPLE, MAYBE SOME OF THE OLDER GENERATION WOULD BE WILLING TO GO AND SEE THEIR MOVIES.
21ST CENTURY FOX
THEY SPECIALISE IN MAKING COMEDIES. ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE MADE CHILDREN ANIMATION MOVIES.
THEIR MOST RECENT FILM WAS AN ANIMATION CALLED ‘EPIC’.
THIS MOVIE IN PARTICULAR TARGETS YOUNGER CHILDREN. HOWEVER MOST OF THEIR MOVIES HAVE BEEN COMEDIES WHICH ARE AIMED AT 15-30 AS THEY HAVE A MORE MATURE HUMOUR THAN A CHILDREN’S ANIMATION WOULD
HAVE, BUT HOWEVER STILL NOT QUITE AS MATURE AS SOME MOVIES CAN BE.

HOW DOES DISNEY PROFIT FROM PRODUCING DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEDIA?
BY PRODUCING DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEDIA DISNEY WILL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE A HIGHER AMOUNT OF REVENUE FROM THEIR WORKS. THIS IS BECAUSE, BY APPEALING TO A LARGER AUDIENCE THEY WILL GAIN MORE MONEY THAN,
FOR EXAMPLE: IF THEY WERE TO ONLY MAKE ANIMATION MOVIES FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN AGES 5-15 THEY WOULD NOT APPEAL TO THE OLDER GENERATION OR THE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS. THEREFORE ESSENTIALLY MAKING
LESS MONEY.
RECENT FILMS BY DISNEY
‘OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL’ IS A ‘LIVE-ACTION’ FILM. IT WAS QUITE SUCCESSFUL AS IT COST $215 MILLION BUT MADE $493,311,825 WORLDWIDE.
‘WINGS OF LIFE’ IS A ‘TRUE-LIFE’ FILM. THIS FILM WAS NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL AS THE BUDGET OR THE MONEY MADE FROM THIS FILM HAS NOT BEEN PUBLISHED.
‘MONSTERS UNIVERSITY’ IS AN ANIMATION FILM. THIS WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL FILM AS THEY SPENT ONLY $200 MILLION AND MADE $730,855,314.
‘THE LONE RANGER’ IS A ‘LIVE-ACTION’ FILM. IT WASN’T AS SUCCESSFUL AS THE OTHER DISNEY FILMS AS THEY SPENT $250 MILLION TO MAKE IT AND MADE ONLY $244,708,027. THEREFORE MAKING A 6 MILLION LOSS.
‘PLANES’ IS AN ANIMATION FILM. THIS FILM WAS FAIRLY SUCCESSFUL, YET STILL NOT AS SUCCESSFUL AS ‘OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL’ OR ‘MONSTERS UNIVERSITY’ AS DISNEY SPENT $50 MILLION ON PRODUCTION AND MADE
$139,321,389.
HOW DOES DISNEY RELATE TO MY MUSIC MAGAZINE?
‘DISNEY’ IS A BUSINESS THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR MANY YEARS. YOU OFTEN SEEN SOME BUSINESSES COME TO A DECLINE AND YOU NEVER HEAR FROM THEM AGAIN. HOWEVER, DISNEY IS NOT ONE OF THEM. THIS BUSINESS IS
SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THEY HAVE KEPT THEMSELVES ‘ON THEIR TOES’ AND GATHERED NEW WAYS TO GET ALL RANGES OF AUDIENCES TO WATCH THEIR TV PROGRAMMES AND WATCH THEIR MOVIES. FOR EXAMPLE, THEY HAVE
DIFFERENT INSTITUTIONS THAT MAKE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MOVIES. THIS ALLOWS DISNEY TO APPEAL TO A MUCH LARGER AUDIENCE AND THEREFORE MAKE MORE MONEY.
I WILL TRY TO MAKE MY MAGAZINE SIMILAR TO THIS, TO SHOW HOW SUCCESSFUL THE MAGAZINE IS, THEREFORE WHY MY MUSIC ARTIST IS ON THE FRONT COVER. THIS WILL SHOW THAT MY MUSIC ARTIST IS VERY POPULAR AND
ANYONE WHO READS THE MAGAZINE WILL BE DRAWN TO THEM .

8. ‘I almost died and I
still went back to
using’. This quote is
taken directly from
the article to catch
the readers eye and
entice them to read
the whole thing.
This quote is there to
highlight the ‘badboy’ image that
Eminem has and also
portrays him as tough
and unbeatable.
The key image
shows Eminem with
blood all over him.
This links with the
quote next to him
when it says ‘I
almost died’. This
emphasises the
idea that he is
unbeatable and
almost gives the
idea that he is
‘unhuman’.
The key image also shows his tattoo’s which emphasises that he is tough
and rebellious. Also, his face is positioned down and he is facing away
from the camera. This could be associated with guilt, pain or remorse.
This allows the audience to feel sorry for him as this position contradicts
the rest of the details in the photo.
The image also shows him holding a knife in a position where it
looks like he is cutting his hand as his fist is closed around the
knife tightly. Once again, this is done to highlight and
emphasise the image hat Eminem is trying to create. Which is
that he is un-stoppable, un-beatable and un-human.
The colour that
stands out is

quote and the

The last ‘E’ in his
name is

could signify his

how he wants to

can also be
associated with
drugs which is
what this article is
about.
