St Trinian's-Exhibition

Box Office Takings

I wouldn't expect this film to be shown in O2 Vue cinema because big films are shown there, not that St.Trinian's isn't a big film but as it it British it doesn't have that same wow factor nor did it have that buzz circulating around it. If it was to be showing it would only be for a short amount of time to make way for the bigger blockbusters on the way.
St.Trinian's is available on DVD and should already be on TV if not will be soon for home exhibition.

I would expect this film to be shown is the O2 Vue because it has gotten so much press, acknowledgement and praise. I don't understand why O2 Vue would want to miss such a movie that can potentially make them a large amount of money. Whether or not people like it isn't the matter because they will have to pay to see it first before making that judgement so either way, if a person likes it, they got their moneys' worth and O2 Vue is making a profit, but if a person didn't like it, O2 Vue would still be getting their profit.
Avatar is available on DVD, DVD Blu-ray and it will eventually end up on Sky movie channels for home exhibition and personal viewing.

When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.

Film Industry Words

Definitions

Production-the general process of putting a film together, including casting, set construction, costuming, rehearsals, and shooting; also refers to the middle stage of production which is preceded by pre-production and followed by post-production.

Distribution-The distribution of a film (or movie) is the process through which a movie is made available to watch for an audience. This task may be accomplished in a variety of ways; for example, with a theatrical release, a home entertainment release.

Marketing-Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large. It generates the strategy that underlies sales techniques, business communication, and business developments.

Exhibition-An exhibition, in the most general sense, is an organized presentation and display of a selection of items.

Audience-refers to spectators, viewers, participants - those who serve as a measure of a film's success; although usually audiences are viewed in universal terms, they can also be segmented or categorized.

Institution-institution - an organization founded and united for a specific purpose.

Digital-refers to filming on digital video using digital high-resolution cameras, rather than on traditional 35mm film.

Ownership-Ownership is the state or fact of exclusive rights and control over property, which may be an object, land/real estate or intellectual property. Ownership involves multiple rights, collectively referred to as title, which may be separated and held by different parties. In the case of films, a person or a company has ownership to it and eveything that has to do with it.

Convergence-the occurrence of two or more things coming together.

Synergy-Synergy, in general, may be defined as two or more agents working together to produce a result not obtainable by any of the agents independently.


New Technologies-In the history of technology, emerging technologies are contemporary advances and innovation in various fields of technology. Various converging technologies have emerged in the technological convergence of different systems evolving towards similar goals. Convergence can refer to previously separate technologies such as voice (and telephony features), data (and productivity applications) and video that now share resources and interact with each other, creating new efficiencies.

Hardware-Hardware is a general term for the physical artifacts of a technology. It may also mean the physical components of a computer system, in the form of computer hardware.

Horizontal & Vertical Integration

4,3,2,1's production company isn't horizontally or vertically integrated as there were four companies working together.

There were more production companies than there were distribution companies.

Exhibition

I would expect it to be shown in O2 Vue because this kind of film will attract many people so there should be some accessibility for people where ever they are. As there are Vue cinemas all over England, it would be a shame for them to not show a blockbuster film.
4,3,2,1 is on DVD and can be watched online on movies websites.

St Trinian's, an anarchical school for uncontrollable girls who save the school from bankruptcy by stealing the painting 'Girl With A Pearl Earring'.The film starts with Annabel Fritton being admitted to the school. When there Annabel meets Kelly, head girl of St Trinians, Kelly walks Annabel around the school and introduces each of the different cliques in the school - Posh totty, Chavs, Emos, Geeks and First years. Annabel has a rough first night in the school where her towel and dressing gown are taken from the shower and she is broadcast on the internet by the other girls while running naked from the shower to the dormitory. She phones her dad and demands to be taken away from the school.

Flash Harry pays a visit to the school and makes a deal with the girls for some lab made vodka.

A few days later the school has a hockey match against Annabel's old school - their rivals Cheltenham Ladies College. Their captain is Verity Thwaites, the daughter of Geoffrey Thwaites, the education minister. The girls give a hostile and violent welcome to their visitors and the match ends in a brawl between the two schools. Later in the film Annabel overhears her Dad talking with Mrs Fritton about how he thinks Annabel doesn't fit in with the family and hurts her feelings. Later that day Mrs Fritton talks to Annabel and makes her a part of the family and gets her to release her anger. The other girls at the school give Annabel a make-over and makes her part of the school. Meanwhile Geoffrey Thwaites is inspecting the school and the bank is threatening the school with closure.

Kelly hears the talk about closure and tells the rest of the school, they then make a plan to save the school which involves getting to the final of "School Challenge" and stealing the painting 'the girl with a pearl earring'. Meanwhile Annabel is talking to Flash Harry about acting as a gay german art dealer. He initially refuses but Kelly gets him to do the job (as he secretly has feelings for her and does not want to look stupid in front of her). The school team for school challenge is made up of the three of the Posh Tottys, Chelsea, Peaches and Chloe. They get to the final by cheating.

During the final Kelly, Taylor and Andrea foil the security for the painting that they're after and eventually retrieve it but on the way back the cable that they used to climb over the top of the audience of the final of school challenge snaps just after Taylor and Andrea get over to the other side. Kelly gets stuck with no other way to get to other side again. Mrs Fritton sees that Kelly needs help and goes to help, having to knock out Geoffrey Thwaites on the way. Meanwhile Annabel takes care of Verity Thwaites.

The school successfully gets the painting and sells it to Carnaby Fritton who doesn't realise it is not the real one which has been returned under the cover of St Trinians finding it. They get a £50,000 reward for returning the painting and the cash from Carnaby Fritton they pay back the money owed to the bank and St Trinian's doesn't get closed.
