Researching Skyfall
Researching Skyfall
Skyfall was
marketed all over Britain through photo billboards, TV trailers and much more,
throughout this research I have come across many examples of these and I will
be presenting them to you while I explain how this has helped promote this
movie.
·
Firstly, the film was largely
promoted through photo billboards as mentioned and also the sides of buses
which proved to be very beneficial for the huge blockbuster. Here are some
picture examples….
·
Secondly
I had stumbled across a TV interview with the skyfall star Daniel Craig on Film
Four were he had promoted his film discussing the synergy between the film and
Adeles single released along with the film. This was beneficial for both as
fans would now merge into one group of skyfall fans.
·
In
addition, there has been some merchandise based on skyfall such as Toys, Pens,
Perfumes, Clothing, Champagne and much more. Here are a few images I gathered.
·
In addition to this
they had planned and presented all the events that were going to take place in
order to promoter the film, this gave chance for the fans to meet the stars
Etc.
Skyfall (2012) is the twenty-third spy film in the James
Bond series, produced by Eon Productions and distributed by MGM and Sony
Pictures Entertainment. It features Daniel Craig's third performance as James
Bond, and Javier Bardem as Raoul Silva, the film's villain. The film was
directed by Sam Mendes and written by John Logan, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.
It was showing at nearly all the cinemas in the UK and a
special thing about this film was that it was first shown in the UK not America
which saves the british people dignity as this film is strictly British.
