Along with all the advertising came merchandise, this would be used to help them make a profit on the £150m spent on making the film, because of the film possibly appealing to the older generation of kids aswell as the younger this means they have a much bigger range to what they can produce to sell.

With all the marketing and merchandise working together Thor is expected to make a huge profit (even though the film had used a £150 budget). It appeals to their target audience who is expected to be between 14 - 24(possibly older and mainly male), it would almost primarily be for people who have an interest in the comic book but also for those who just favour action, sci-fi, fantasy films.

Film Industry

Production:
The production for the film industry has 4 stages these are, the development, pre production, production and post production.

The Development:
In development a project producer(this could either be 1 person or a large group of people), the film Lee Daniels' The Butler had 41 project producers. Project producers
would gather ideas to create a story which would after be given to a writer to create a synopsis based on the ideas, through this the stage directions and dialogue will be created for the film.

Pre Production:
Pre production is when every part of the film is created, a story board is used to create the visual ideas of what camera shots and effects will be used in the final creation of the film. This also helps the production team know a rough budget for the film.

Production:
Production is when the film crew will film the shots from the story board and keep filming until they are of a high professional standard, the actors and directors are also involved within this stage because they are needed to film the whole story.

Post Production:
Post production is when the filmed clips are edited and finalised, in this stage music tracks may be added, as well as text, lighting and visual effects will be added to the video.

Distribution:

Simultaneous release, this is when the film is available to be view in multiple ways rather than a standard release for the product.

Straight to video release, this is when the product is release from the studio straight to TV companies or DVD companies to be either showed or manufactured.

Internet release, this is when the film is release on the Internet to either be downloaded or streamed by users, this is predicted to be the future of releasing films but still has some issues with privacy.

Trailers (either on television or on the Internet)
Adverts (which can be on anything from billboards, to web pages, to buses)
Radio
Friends (speech can be the most efficient way of advertising to date)
