Different forms of media/ Advertisement.

I have realized how much I actually use different forms of media each day. So I have been keeping a diary of what media I have used/seen within just one day.


7.05am- wake up and check ipod- play temple run and check facebook.
8.10am-8.20am- check phone and reply to texts people had sent.
8.30am- sit in common room talking about 'The Woman In Black' film.
8.45am- check phone and text people before going to lesson.
10.25am- Checking websites online for past exam papers/mark schemes for biology.
10.30am- Get bored of looking at science website and go on www.tumblr.com whilst listening to music on www.youtube.com
11.10am- read the newspapers put out in the common room
12.05am- Learnt a few lines of 'Daisy pulls it off' with my drama classmates.
12.40am- Workshop with a photographer and in that we looked at his website and his colleges work.
1.30pm- 10 minute break. On phone checking texts and facebook
3.10pm- Walk home- Listening to Ipod, texting people, walked past a bus shelter with posters on it for upcoming films.
4.15pm- get in- watch TV- documentary channels (so adverts were rare about films apart from 'The Grey'. the adverts specialized in household products and charity causes)
5.55pm- laptop out- www.youtube.com ; www.facebook.com ; www.tumblr.com
6.30pm- Watch two films- 'Dude, where's my car?' and 'Get him to the Greek'




This allowed me to realize what types of media I use often and so what would be a good method of advertising my film. We could advertise in the local newspaper in our Sixth form section, as this would give the Sixth form something new to write about and we could also get some publicity. We could post it onto www.facebook.com as a short film and get friends to 'share' it to gain publicity. Word of mouth actually has a big effect on the audience of a film as, if a friend really enjoyed the film you'd be more likely to go watch it whereas if a friend hated it, you wouldn't be inclined to go and spend money on it. Due to our shortage of money we cannot afford posters printed or the space to put the posters in. So word of mouth would have to be a big factor of our advertisement. We could put out film on at the local independent short film cinema. The Electric Palace in Hastings; This would cost a bit of money, but, this is the main way that our film would get our film noticed in the industry. It's something Emma and I/ Luja Productions would have to discuss as a team.
