  • when was it released?  Is this a significant time? 18 November 2011 this is significant because it is close to December and lots of films are realised at this time so that family's can see them over the Christmas period.18 November is also a Friday which means more people would go to the cinema on a Friday evening.
  • how many screens was it released on here and in the US? USA 4061 Screens
  • Trailer - what sort of narrative expectations do you develop?  How successful do you consider the trailer to be?  Look at the full length trailer and the teaser trailer if there is one. Trailer shows the wedding and pregnancy also shows the wolf packs anger and the fact they are willing to do anything even kill Bella in order to protect themselves.I think that the trailer is successful because it shows the brief outline of the story and unlike a lot of trailer you get a understanding of the film and develop possible ideas about it. 
  • Poster campaign (again, might include a teaser poster with ltd information) - how does it sell the film?  Consider the mise en scene and information given 
     This is the poster campaign for Twilight This sells the film because it shows the two main characters,very close which suggests romance the writing is blood red relating to vampires that have a huge role in the film.The fact that the poster its self is very dark suggest that the film has a dark side to it.
    • consider the use of the Internet in the marketing of the film - what sort of things were done?
    • Was/Is there any merchandise available alongside the film, or promos in the way of things like happy meals/giveaways/competitions Because there is a huge fan base they have a large amount of merchandise.for Example: jewelry that Bella wears,posters,calenders,clothing etc
    • was there a soundtrack?  Is there any significance/relationship to who the artist is or what the song is?

    • who are the audience, what are their needs and how have they been targeted? Target audience are mostly teenage girls we no this by the fact that all the men are good looking.The film itself shows Taylor laughter(Jacob)with his top off for parts of the film to show his six pack, women can relate to the love story and can aspire to have a relationship like Bella and Edward.The film also secretly appeals to some men like a guilty pleasure mostly because of the action and special effects used.
