This film is not a comedy
A List star Brad Pitt
World War Z
World War Z is an American Apocalyptic action film released on
June 2nd 2013 it is Directed by Marc Forster who is also
responsible for films such as Quantum of Solace and The Kite
Runner The Film is based on a 2006 Novel called lsquoWorld War Zrsquo
written by Max Brooks
The film stars Brad Pitt who plays Gerry Lane a former United
Nations investigator who must travel the world to stop a Zombie
pandemic
From a Budget of $190 million World War Z made over $540
million at the Box Office
The PlotA Worldwide zombie Outbreak erupts in several cities around the world
those bitten by the infected become Zombies themselves Former UN
investigator Gerry Lane with his wife and two children manage to escape
by calling in a favor from a former UN friend in Philadelphia Gerry then
has to travel the world attempting to find a cure visiting places such as
North Korea Israel and Wales He eventually finds with the help of
scientists that the cure is found in illness of Humans and the Zombies
only attack healthy Humans
The Production
World War Z is Directed by Marc
Forster
Brad Pitt- Gerry LaneThe main character Gerry Lane is played by
Brad Pitt
The issues raised by media
ownership in contemporary media
practiceThe film was produced by 4 production companies
Skydance Productions Hemisphere media capital GK films
and Plan B entertainment
The companies involved were relatively small companies
that hadnt appeared in that many successful films the one
exception is Plan B entertainment which have appeared in
more successful films due to its owner being Brad Pitt
The Importance of cross media
convergence and synergy in production
distribution and marketing
World War Z was distributed by Paramount Pictures It is a film company that is one of the lsquoBig Sixrsquo It has distributed successful films such as Transformers Mission Impossible and Marvel films between the years of 2008-11
This could have been one of the reasons for World War Z success due to the reputation and Experience of Paramount Pictures
The technologies that have been
introduced in recent years at the levels of
production distribution marketing and
exchange Recent technological improvements allowed World War Z to
have the most advanced special effects currently available
The weapons used in the film were so realistic the
warehouse were they were being kept was raided by
Hungarian Counter terrorism units whilst filming took place in
Budapest
The significance of proliferation in
hardware and content for institutions
and audiences
World War Z was released on 21st June 2013 It was
released later on DVD Blu-Ray on 17th September 2013 It
was shown on 3607 screens across the world on its
Opening Weekend Being released on DVD and Blu-Ray the
film still makes money as it is available for personal use
The importance of technological
convergence for institutions and
audiences
World War Z was distributed across the world and therefore it
was promoted in many ways This includes posters TV
trailers and Billboard posters were used to attract audiences
into the cinemas Many modern films have television
interviews and this was the same with World War Z the main
actors were involved in interviews and teaser trailers
The ways in which the candidatesrsquo own
experiences of media consumption illustrate
wider patterns and trends of audience
behaviour
I feel that the film industry has benefited massively from the
development in technology for example new developing
cameras deliver new angles and better quality to modern
films Also the advancement in special effects for example
CGI allow Directors and Producers to create scenes never
seen before
