progress reports for print production
the print production is doing very well. we have got a good layout for our first article, which suits the magazines style. also the first magazine is completed. the second magazine we do have a layout for and we have planned. the problem is that for the second magazine we need to plan out in extreme detail, so it would be easy when we try to create it.
progress reports for the trailer
for the trailer we have 40 seconds, but we do have many other shots to make sure we can complete it. our trailer is a comedy and when people have watched the trailer they have laughed, so this means people would know what genre where doing. the problem is that we are a bit behind, and also we haven't followed the storyline fully.
Magazine two
The second magazine that my group have decided to do is a game magazine which is EGM this is because the magazine could open up the target audience for the movie, and it’s a different way to promote our movie. For the magazine we will make our movie in to game, we will be advertising the game but at the same time the movie because both of them are linked.
Firstly because the game is EGM this straight away opens the target market. People who read the magazine will see the game and then they’ll know that it’s a movie, so if they think the game looks good and the game got good reviews they would think the movie would be good so it would attract them in. EGM has a target market which is around 14-21 males, this is also our primary market so this would encourage the same target audience to watch the movie. EGM second target market is 28-36 year old this is the way that writes and some games that they review would appeal to people older. If this target audience was to read the magazine this would open up a 3rd target audience for our group. Our first is 14-21 males, our second is 24-30 year olds, so this would open 30+ audience. As well as this it will appeal to the gamer audience.
The problem with this magazine is that it all opens the age sector, doesn’t open the gender part. The magazine is mostly aimed at males and so is the trailer itself, because of this females may not be interested to the movie meaning less people would watch it.

Movie and Tv show
[REC] - REC is a Spanish horror/thriller which came our in 2006. it quiet unknown in this country not that many people know about this movie, but this movie has been rated high and was given one of the most scariest movies of the year. the story line is that a infection breaks out in a flat, and it is blocked up by the government outside so no one can escape, so this infection breaks out which makes the dead eat or bite the living which makes the human to turn into a zombie. so all the people are trying to escape. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ib5ZSj6ST0U
quarantine- this is basically the American of REC. it uses all the same style and the same story line all this does is add extra parts into the movie. i may do this because it more recent and because its bigger it would contain more information and would be easier to research. both are about zombie/infections. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=D4inLY7YmNI
Dead set- this is a E4 show which came a few weeks ago, it was made epically for Halloween. it was a mini series which only had 5 episodes, 1 being a hour the rest 30 minutes. it was set in the bog brother house and in the big brother area and also had previous contestants also had celebrities. it about surviving the zombie infection that house broken lose in the world, and the only place they can stay is the big brother house while looking away to get out and escaping before getting bitten and turning into one of them. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HQjq639WPiU
the link between this TV show and the movie(s) is that they are both horror thriller. this is what they use to set the atmosphere in the movie. the other link is that both of these are zombie/infection movies. technically REC is not a zombie movie because the people that come back are not eating the living, they are just biting. but in dead set the zombies need the humans to eat but they are both infection movies.
the way that they advertised REC/ quarantine is that basically had the same advertising. they had two main trailer for both movies. one of them was trailer which was in the movie, so theymade a extra scene with two firefighter coming into the building with someone screaming which never happens in the move. the second one they did which is the main one is that they had a person recording the movie from like video camera which is a unique style and it draws in the audience this trailer showed little clips of what was happening in the movie. also in the website for REC they had a what do do next thing, so you can chose what you want to do and they show you a bit of whats going to happen.

what is web 2.0?
web 2.0 is the changes on the Internet. web 2.0 has lead to online communities and its hosted sites, such as YouTube where you can show videos, social sites where you can talk to your friends like facebook, wikipedia were you can get information and people are free to change to change the information and blogs where you can write your feelings and opinions.
web 2.0 allows people to get more information.
Web.
Web 2.0, through its numerous definitions, encapsulates the idea of the proliferating of
inter connectivity and interactivity of wed-delivered content. Tim O'Reilly regards Web 2.0 as
business embracing the web as a platform and using its strengths, for example global audiences.O'Reilly considers that Eric Schmidt's abridged slogan, don't fight the Internet, encompasses the essence of Web 2.0 — building applications and services around the unique features of the Internet, as opposed to expecting the Internet to suit as a platform (effectively "fighting the Internet").
By the time the dust settles, the global financial crisis might end up producing one final casualty: the easy money that venture capitalists have poured into Internet start-ups with, at best, vague plans how to make money.
In the frothy Internet phenomenon known as Web 2.0, when user-generated content and community sites were the name of the game, venture capitalists barely ratcheted up expectations for revenue beyond their low or non-existent hopes during the boom of Web 1.0.
Instead, they took expensive stakes in companies such as YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Digg and Twitter -- many of which prioritized building an audience over a revenue plan. But now, VC fundraising is dropping amid an economic slowdown.
Just this week, Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association released data showing that only 55 venture capital funds raised money in the third quarter, a drop of 29 percent from one year earlier. The total amount of money raised dropped 6 percent to $8.1 billion.
And while VC's are feeling squeezed on the amount of money they're able to raise, their exit options are diminishing too, as the I.P.O. market drops out (just six this year in technology and health care versus 55 last year). Returns through acquisitions of their investment are also taking a nosedive -- just 58 in the third quarter of this year compared to 102 in the same quarter last year, according to the N.V.C.A

Should the trend continue -- and venture capital funds operate on 10-year cycles, so they don't shift direction all that rapidly -- companies will need more than just a clever idea to get funded.
