RESEARCH: EXIT POLLS

Over the half term break, I decided to look into different studies that movies had carried out once released. For example the key features that I specifically looked at was the people that were surveyed as this gave a rough idea as to how many people went to go see the film and of what age and sex they were. I looked at three films which had all been released in 2014. These were The Lunchbox, The 100 year old man who climbed out of the window and disappeared and 2 Days, 1 night. Below you can see the information that I grabbed from the studies that each individual film carried out.

The BFI states that they," Carry out exit poll surveys for all of the films that we support through out Distribution Fund. Exit Polls are standard practice for major releases, but much less so for smaller or independent films."

RESEARCH: PETE'S MEDIA BLOG

Upon looking at Pete’s media blog, it came to my attention that his blog is a lot more useful than expected. The reason for this is because he is constantly posting useful media sources and links. I found this particularly helpful for a media student like myself. Pete's blog of Media Magazine which is also very helpful. Pete uses Twitter to reach out to more people. What I find particularly helpful about Pete's blog is that he helps us with a step by step guide on a slide share of how to produce a successful production. I have taken his advice and integrated it into my own work by using his successful points and making sure they are in my own personal work. This will then lead to me being able to produce a successful production.
