Minh's Research Homework: Skyfall, 007.

                                          Individual Research Homework: Skyfall, 007.

Through out the holidays, during the pre-release of the new upcoming film Skyfall, 007. I have come across many advertisements, information and news all relating to the new film. 

As I travel a lot by buses, I have noticed quite a lot posters around the streets, from buses to phone boxes. 

There were also large billboards outside Leicester square, Odeon in London for the premere of Skyfall.

Many of the billboards that were shown around London contained the characters that were starred in the film, the name of the film and the date of release. All key points the public needs to know to want to watch the film.

Many big cinemas are showing the movie as it is proberbly one of the biggest movies of the year, some of them are: Odeon, Cineworld and IMAX. 

On my way to work, during the bus ride, i saw a huge poster of Skyfall that I had to get off the bus to take a image of. Made me late, but it was worth it, it was like a huge panorama image of the poster. 

I have seen many types of product placement that helped synergies and advertise the movie. However I could not take any images so I will show some examples I found on-line that I saw outside.

While I was searching for UK's top singles, I found out on the number 1 chart was a song called
"SKYFALL" by Adele, I listened to the lyrics and it was based on the film, it did feel as if it suited James bond and I believe it would most likely be heard in the film. 

Funny enough, I found one of my favourite shows making a special episode about James Bond, 50 Years of Bond Cars: A Top Gear Special. It showed all the special cars used in the 50 years of bond films and including them creating real life car-submarine.

I have learnt that the film has been on British cinema's for 50 years, with many movies casting different types of bonds throughout the years. In this particualar movie, the director was Sam Mendes while it was produced by Micheal G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.
