Marketing of Jungle Book

How do film companies market films?  (2016, 1967)

  • Adverts 
  • Sponsors 
  • Social media 
  • Trailers
  • Interviews 
  • Posters - Billboards, Bus stops, cinema, side of bus, hoarding. 
  • Merchandise 
1967 Trailer:
Very long (3:41)
Voice over through all of it
Key focus on animation technology at the time
More comedic representations
Disneys ownership and distributions still foreground 
Animals have a more obvious identities

2016 Trailer:
Much more dramatic, looks like a horror (this is to attract a bigger audience) 
Shows a very short clip of the main song at the end 
Shows the very famous cast 
Music leads the atmosphere of the trailer
No voice over just words popping up on the screen
No sense of character
A very high production value with CGI and soundtracks 

1967 Poster: 
Very colourful to show off the techicolour 
All animals are having fun nobody is scary 
Aimed to children 
Makes film sounds very fun and no other genre then children film 
Advertised other short films 

2016 Poster:
Darker
Genres range from action to horror,  no fun anymore
Related a Triptych poster (3 pictures that put together makes a big picture)
Aimed to an older audience 

Media convergence;
Watch a film on a number of cross media platforms (i.e tv, Netflix, cinema, play station)
