LO1 Firstly discuss your Film movement in each of these sections, Remember to discuss each of these within the context of time period, also taking into consideration social, political, cultural factors

1.Sector industries:

Film:

·         What other media forms were prevalent at the time and how did these impact on film as a medium? For example, if you are looking at:

·         1980s Horror, you may want to consider the impact of VHS.  

·         Cinema in the 1990s, you may want to consider the impact of TV, DVD and the internet.

·         Film Noir, you may want to consider what other ‘media options’ were available (when TV was introduced, the impact it had on cinema attendance, the development of technologies like cinemascope, Technicolor etc).

2.Control:

Here you need to examine the way the sector was regulated. So, in terms of:

·         Film Noir, you may want to examine the impact of HUAC and also the Hays Code of Production.

·         In terms of Horror, you may want to consider the VRA and the changes to legislation.

·         In terms of 1990s cinema, you may want to look at the studios and corporate control, and distribution/regulation;

3.Distribution models:

Here you need to examine how film is/was distributed. So, you can examine:

·         both indie and mainstream approaches to film distribution  

·         the studios and the part they play(ed) in getting the product (film) to audiences.

4.Marketing:

You need to examine the marketing strategies involved in the film movement you have chosen to examine. So for instance, you may want to examine:

·         guerrilla marketing in terms of 90s indie cinema, or how corporate and brand identities play a part. You could examine the rise of ‘the star’ as marketing tool here.

·         In terms of Film Noir, some of the marketing strategies belied the ‘dark’ nature of the films themselves by portraying the actors in much ‘lighter’ generic tones.
