Digipaks in retailers and online:

I found out that there was a very low number of retail shops that still sell digipaks. One shop that still sell digipaks is Poundland in Hounslow high street. Due to their slogan, digipaks have a very cheap price so buying one would be very easy to get. additionally, every digipak was pre-owned meaning that someone had already used it and they have sold it to this specific shop. overall, this shows that digipaks isn't very popular in this generation since most/all digipaks have already been used and the retail shops are selling them for a cheap price.

Digipaks are also sold online on retail websites. I discovered that you can buy digipaks mostly from the website eBay. They are also selling digipaks for a very cheap price and also, nearly all digipaks have been used and this links it to the fact that digipaks aren't as popular as they used to be.

Digipak nets:

There are digipak nets that exist to help the people who make the digipak know what the whole digipak will look like. There are different types of digipak nets, mostly a net with 4 or 6 panels.

Suffragette Official Trailer #1 (2015) - Carey Mulligan, Meryl Streep Dr...

Suffragette (Gavron, 2015) Analysis

Suffragette (Gavron, 2015)

• The target audience for the film 'Suffragette' is mainly targeted for historians or for people who aren't but they are interested in history.
• One reason why it's targeted for those types of people is that firstly, the setting of the film looks historical with many expensive looking houses and other buildings. (London, where the rich area is)
• Another reason is the props that are being used. For example, the vehicles such as the cars are very old; very antique looking. It's as if it were the ones from the 80s/90s and this makes the film look like its from the historical times which therefore makes the film look historical.
• Also, the costumes that people are wearing in the film are very old fashioned. The winter looking coats made of wool, the fedora hats men wear and the other types of hats the woman wear. This gives the film a historic atmosphere which therefore makes the film targeted to historical fans.

Budget: $14 MILLION

SPECTRE - Official Trailer

Spectre (Mendes, 2015) Analysis

Spectre (Mendes, 2015): 

• The conventions that the trailer follows is that at the beginning of the trailer, it shows the name of the distributor. Secondly, It also has the green background message that says that the trailer is approved for appropriate audiences. Also, it has shown many different scenes that fade into other scenes. additionally, it includes the soundtrack of the film, the actors with their voices and also, the title of the film at the end of the trailer
• I believe that the target audience for this film is for people who enjoy the action/thriller genre. I also think it's targeted for young adults and middle aged adults.
• The way that the distributor has targeted it for those types of people is that they show many different violent and explosive scenes with the dramatic music in the background. these contribute to the genre the film is which therefore is showing to the audience what type of genre the film is. Also, at the beginning of the trailer, it was shown to be calm and normal but then gets more extreme and dangerous towards the end. This makes the film look very tense which also shows who their target audience is.
• My response is that the trailer was very well made that it clearly showed who their target audience was. the scenes were switching quiet fast with a 2 to 4 seconds interval and most of the scenes looked very dramatic. The sound also fitted well with the scenes because it made the scenes look very action packed.
