Thriller EPK Campaign

Looking through my questionnaire research I have come to the following conclusion. I can see a lot of people tend to find out more about movies through common advertisements such as posters and trailers. It seems that the more used ways work best. There are some exceptions when people use unique ways to advertise, but this tends to cost a lot more for the budget. Other people occasionally use websites like IMDb to see up coming movies. The way people look at these new movies tend to be by looking at their favourite actors to see what they are going to be in next, or see what the top director is going to be working on next.

DVD Cover Design Process - DVD Cover

I wanted to start with a darker case to fit in with more of the thriller style of things. I decided to include the title on the front and spine and also a little bit about the movie. I used a simple font just to get me started.

Job Roles

Camera Operator


Self Employed or Contracted?
With camera operating, you tend to go freelance and get contracted for the video work. If you work in a studio with lots of filming dates, you will be more than likely employed by the production company.

What is the wage? Are you paid weekly or monthly?
The current rate of pay for operating a camera for a ten hour day working on a TV/documentary is £285, commercials is £411 and TV news is £227, but this all depends on your experience and skill level,.

Financing in Marvel Studios


As Marvel had started as a comic book publisher, they had managed to build up a great profit growth to start converting the popular comic book franchise into TV series and then into cinematic films. According to WikiPedia, Marvel had arranged a seven-year development deal with 20th Century Fox to cover markets in the United States and internationally.

Technical Development in Marvel Studios


Marvel had started their series of movies working with 20th Century Fox creating titles such as Daredevil and Fantastic Four using 35mm film cameras. Fantastic Four had used Panavision cameras and lenses while Daredevil had used the Arriflex 435 and the Moviecam Compact. Going back three years before Daredevil, Marvel studios seemed do have used a Panavision in X-Men in 2000.
