The film poster: Ted, The main image cover must of the film poster, it show two characters, one human and one bear urinating in a public toilet, the human on the left is giving us a relief like posture which could connote that this comedy. The main image is a long shot of both characters, showing both characters body and their feature; this could connote that how different both characters are between each other. It giving us representation that it connotes a fantasy film as it is shown a live bear doing human activity. One human like icons is the bear urinating and holding a beer bottle at the same time, which could connote that the bear could be drunk, or hangover and need to do at the same time (drinking and urinating).They way how both characters are doing the same thing (urinating) at the same time, could connote that there is a sight sign of bromance, love and friendship

The film poster is very interesting because the male on the left is in a urinating position and would put some the audience off. (Mostly Girl because women wouldn't like that type of pose, it private mate. Some males would find it funny because they can relate with type of action.) But women can narrate with soft smooth bears, when normally given to as a present or a gift. However, see a bear urinating can change people ideas and can make both gender laugh.

The background of the main image has very dull colours, this could connote that movie is not very sociable to watch and might be boring to the audience. Or it can connote the toilet are a dull place to be for a character but also be funny or entertaining for the audience. The setting of the main image is set in the male toilet; we can see that by the male urinate on the wall in the image. This suggest that it normality and causal.

The masthead at the top of the film poster is in green to stand out and attract the audience. At the top it has a Tagline it says from the creator of ‘Family Guy’. Family Guy’s fan base and the views of family guy would be very appealed because family guy is a fantasy comedy with a normal family, talking dog and a lot of stereotype, which could connote that TED and Family Guy have familiar aspects. This show how both movie and TV shows are associated and linked together. The green lettering behind the white background determines the normality and nature of the film. The way how they have the actors name above the main title, which could connote how important the actors are in the media industry. If the names are at the top, all the actors can bring a fan base which can bring in a bigger audience.The target audience is 14-35 age as they have mostly appeared to this type of film, the demographic and the psychographic is that mainstream and the B,C C1, C2 and D.     

  

Broadcast

Ted was promoted thought Broadcast media (TV/Radio/DVD) by featuring their film concept in all different way for broadcast media around the world. One way how Ted was promoted the DVD release of the film was by Ted on the Jimmy Kimmel show having a interview with him, talking about the film, actors, directors and maybe a sequels of Ted the film, (TED 2) and the Distributed, also showing why people should buy the DVD as it has some scenes from the film and more delete scenes on the DVD.  TED  was on the Jimmy Kimmel show in December  talking about the TED  film and telling people to to go out a purchase the DVD. Moreover, TED and the other actors like Mila Kunis has been promoting his film by having many interviews via the TV and the radio, promoting the film release and the DVD release, so many people don’t forget to go out a watch the film and purchase the DVD.

focus Group

I learnt a lot of things from my focus groups as it help and improve many of the ideas I first thought of at the beginning for my production. In my focus groups, I was told that it would even be better if I add more female characters in the production. I think it a good idea adding more characters later on in the production but it only two minutes and I need to talk about the issues and events which happen in the production before but shown as a flash back at the beginning, which this will go with the storyline. I also learnt that my TV show is targeted at only male and not have a female audience, but I think it doesn’t because it has a female character in it, like Top Boy and Kidulhood both have certain limit of female characters in a main male film. But I think that having a female character we will gain more female viewing. Moreover, many people thought that I said change the timing and day of the show, as they thought I should change to Wednesdays at 8.00 because of pre watershed TV shows, such as Waterloo Road which has success which can bring in a wide target audience from show, also eastenders isn’t on, on this day, however I think if I show it on the Thursday it better because the audience from eastenders is mostly teenagers who will like these types of shows, urban, British shows. During the focus group it came across that our name seemed quite weird. I believe that this name suites the concept of my idea, as the focus group did not understand where we was coming from, as they do not know why we have named the TV show the my loving heart, so the name of the show I might have to change because people might not get the concept. The first two minutes in need to get the audience engaged quickly and get them hooked. This will then make the viewer want to carry on watching the rest of the series. And the audience would want to know what will happen to the characters at the end.

TED is a Hollywood movie; one of the reasons is the institution of the movie Universal Studios are a huge media company and the actor’s names are very famous and bring a big fan base and audience. The Website has many links of where you can but the DVD, gallery and information about the film like the film, released date and the trailer, as it gives the Audience a understanding, knowledge and background on how the movie was made, the cast background and etc.

The difference is that it cost more to make, better actor, better companies as they have more money and better people working within Hollywood, a difference is that ill manor only cost 100,000 pounds and Ted cost 50,00000 dollars  so it costed at lot of money via the production team and the actors and the distributor.
