Django Unchained

• How are black people represented? Is this a fair and honest portrayal of slavery? Why?

Black people are represented as non equal and shown the lowest respect as their not white or their either slaves to the white people.No its not fair as all people no matter their colour or religion should all be treated the same with respect.

• How are women represented? Use specific examples from the trailer to support your points

Black or white the women were represented the same as the black males with no respect and they was mainly used for sexual desires. 

• How are white non-American represented? Why?

White non Americans are presented the same as the black males as Jangos's sidekick is not american and they try to kill him just like Jango.

• How are white men represented? Why?

White men are represented as superior and have complete power over the females and black males because in the whole movie the females and black males are either being hit or being killed.

• Is it as simple as saying black people are represented as good and white people as bad? Why?

Yes it is that simple because the white people knew what they was doing was wrong but they still continued to keep black people as slaves and torture them for so many hundreds of years.

Jamie Foxx
Leandro Di Caprio 
 
It’s all a matter of timing

2) When did the first trailer appear on YouTube for your movie? Find the earliest example you can and embed it in your blog.
14 June 2012 
3) What other examples of marketing (teaser trailers, main trailers, newspaper or TV interviews etc.) can you find for your chosen film from before the film’s release date?



It’s a social thing
1) What was the word-of-mouth like for your chosen film? If you can’t find tweets (probably blocked) use the IMDB user review rating or the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer rating to judge whether the public have given the movie a good review.

2) Find three quotes (no more than 25 words each) from user reviews of your movie to create a picture of what the public reaction to the film has been. Post them on your blog.



Risky business
Use IMDB to find out the box office records for your chosen film. Find your film, click on Company Credits and then Box Office/Business. You may want to use the excellent website Box Office Mojo to find out the budget and box office success for the film.

1) What was the original budget for your chosen film?
 $100 million 
2) How much money did the film make in the opening weekend?
$30,122,888
3) How much money has the film made in total? (Look for the subheading ‘Gross’ which has the total box-office earnings listed).
Domestic Total Gross: $162,805,434 
4) For a film to be considered a box office success, it needs to make at least two-and-a-half times the budget in box office takings. Using this method, was the film you have chosen a success? (Or, if it's a recent release, do you expect it to be a box office success?)
It was not a box office success because their budget was $100 million which means they made £62.8 million profit which is only half their budget if it was to be a success they would of needed to make  $2.5 million profit.

My first movie trailer is 21 cloverfield which personally I think has the biggest plot twist you will ever find in a movie. It is a sci-fi/action movie with Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John goodman.
