Transcript: A visual effects company founded with the production of Star Wars after George Lucas discovered that the in-house effects dept at 20th Century Fox was no longer operational. It was a division of Lucasfilm (which is now owned by Disney) Refers to an easily definable and simple premise. In contrast, low-concept is concerned more with character development and other elements that are not as easily summarized. Extreme example: Snakes on a Plane Steven Spielberg master mythmaker ILM: Creating the Impossible The first BLOCKBUSTER A BLOCKBUSTER is a film that earns $100 million or more at the U.S. Box Office (audience response) Now it usually defines any high budget film that is aimed at a mass market Studios preferred to finance and distribute a few big films with potential for enormous profits rather than a larger slate of modest films with modest profits. One "monster hit" could keep a studio in business and pay for the flops. Movies as myth machines Mythical Villiains Established the movie as a ride: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1980) E.T. Extra-The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) Jurassic Park (1993) Also produced movies like Back to the Future (1985) High Concept STAR WARS (1977) dir by George Lucas In hopes of repeating the success of Jaws, the attitude became to spend a lot of money to make a lot of money. Given the costs of these films ($100 million+) and advertising costs (as much as the movie) theatre owners were being required to send a higher percentage of earnings back to distributors. Theatres had to learn to earn money on concessions. Created a complete revolution in the technology and aesthetics of film sound and visual effects. Allowed Lucas to become a producer who controlled a multiface creative enterprise (kind of like Disney) Industrial Light and Magic Blockbuster Mentality Halloween (1978) introduced the immortal slasher. Other famous imitators include "Friday the 13th" and "Nightmare on Elm Street" Budgets Jaws (1975) dir by Spielberg The Hollywood Blockbuster THX-1138 (1971) LUcas' first film

Visual impact may be more important than the use of dialogue Marketed as a brand. The use of merchandising i very important with these types of films (e.g. 'Cars' merchandise earnt more than the film) Marketing Blockbusters Other Terms... Exploring their features, purpose and significance Blockbuster films are very expensive and they need to have 'brand awareness'. This is achieved through marketing. PR - online/ offline Promotions Media Research Creative - trailers... Reviews Target Audience - (genre) How is the film presented to the audience? Comment on: Mise-en scene, camera, genre and audience and editing. Is the trailer successful? Examples of Blockbusters Sleeper hits - films that are generally low in budget and tend to take time to make money. Their success tends to come from word of mouth, rather than extensive marketing (e.g. Paranormal Activity, The Blair Witch Project) Box-office bombs - films that have expensive budgets, but fail to make even their budgets back. However, some bombs have made money after their time in the theaters, becoming 'cult classics'. (e.g. Waterworld, Cleopatra, Mars Needs Mums) What are the purpose of blockbuster films? What might influence an audience to go and see a blockbuster film? How do genre-based blockbusters influence the type of audience that will see the film? Do blockbuster films 'dumb-down' the quality of cinema? Does merchandising exploit people (esp. children)? Reflections... What are blockbusters? Blockbusters are defined as films that are extremely expensive and/ or successful The term was believed to have originated in the 50's They are characterised by expensive productions, casting of well-known actors, stereotypical characters and familiar plot lines and themes in contrast to other films Jaws is generally regarded as the first true 'blockbuster' film They have become increasingly popular since Jaws as they are generally reliable, earning a significant return on investment Blockbusters are generally released around the holidays to reach maximum audience Blockbusters are seen as 'popular culture' texts not as 'high-culture' texts They are designed to be kept simple to please the widest possible audience This is the current driving force behind Hollywood - it is where the bulk of the money is made in the film industry Criticism of the blockbuster centers around their generic stories and characters, with the focus on effects (i.e. the 'wow' factor) over ideas and complexity More recently however, there has been the emergence of some blockbusters which are more complex (e.g. Batman Begins, The Bourne Identity)
