"Life on mars"
Period of time.
Props: cars-> the cars that was seen in the film were very old school and expensive to have nowadays.
cigarettes-> Staff in the office were smoking indoors, this gives me an idea of different laws dominating at different times.
Landline phones-> People haven't discovered mobile phones yet.
Mise-en- scene-> was very old fashion. the way that the policemen talked and was dressed, it gave me an idea of him being very old fashion, as well as the offices looked very similar to ones from back at the day.
This film is about traveling in time, as all I just spoke about gave me an idea of that! Without the props it would be almost impossible to understand what was going on in the first few minutes of the scene.
Setting: Once the film started, the setting was near a Manchester bridge, but when the main character woke up in 1973, the Manchester bridge was only being constructed. I could tell that by the prop (poster) as well as the old buildings and the large amount of space, which gave me an idea, that something will be built there. The setting was meant to be the same setting from the beginning of the film, but many years ago, which is why all the props and acting had to be much different then nowadays lifestyle.
The shots that had been used were sometimes very different to what we se in Tv Drama these days. some of the shots were slow motion, there was a 360degrees shot in slow motion, in order to show the setting and to make it easier for people to understand what is going on, as it might get quite hard to catch up with everything that goes on! There also were tilted shots, that showed the main character laying on the ground. The tilted shots kept zooming closer shot by shot till the main character opened his eyes. This gave me a very weird feeling of something strange going on. And the shots were used to probably let the audience know that something very big and surprising is going to happen.
Music: David Bowie- Life on mars. this song was written at the period of time which the film was set in. Also the lyrics of song includes the name of the film. I suppose that they have chosen the song in order to tell the story better, as the lyrics do include some of the props and situations of the film. This was non diegetic sound. Diegetic sound that was used was of birds, cars and people. There was a moment, where the sound was very different from what we saw, but it was still diegetic sound. This gave me an idea of him being out of concionse, and being brought back to the real world by the ambulance, as the sound made me believe so.

Synergy is all about two or more parties working together towards a goal in order to gain more out of it than they usually would individually. This is very beneficial, as it makes greater difference. Basically both parties gain things from one another. Tadaaaaam!! Oh and in media terms it means basically two different media organisations, which could be a production company and a recording studio recording a track in advantage of both parties for the film. This way both would be marketed and would gain something out of this corporation.

The boat that rocked marketing
This film was directed by Richard Curtis, and was made in 2009.
The poster of this film is very eye catching, as the movie is very bright, colourful and outstanding itself. Advertising correctly could decide the faith of the film, as if the film was advertised wrongly, people would get the wrong ideas and could get dissapointed.
On the poster I see 4 main characters dressed in old fashion clothing. They are on a big boat, which straight away gives me the idea of the film being based on a boat. As well the headlines makes the word 'boat' stand out.

Working title
Working title produces mostly american style movies with british actors. This allows them to make a lot of profit, as a lot of people like that type of movies. Working title is owned by Universal.
Producer.
Once a script is sorted the director needs to be found. The director need to be familiar or good with the genre the movie is written to be in. If a director that would direct only comedy would be hired for a horror film, the outcome would be a scary comedy. So the producers need to find a suitable director for the movie that is process.
At the end, it is the producers role to look at the profit they have, and try to spend as less money as possible on the film.
