12th January Blockbuster Notes:

Blockbusters:
  • Context = Reasons
  • Blockbusters don't stimulate the mind - they are for entertainment purposes only
  • They're money driven
  • if you spend enough money it will become an event
  • Blockbuster audiences have changed between 1970-2015
- Special effect films
- Online Piracy
- High effect films; try to prevent piracy online - gives the audience a better experience by watching it in the cinemas

Blockbuster Timeline:



New Hollywood: is a term used to describe the emergence of a new generation of film school trained directors.
There is an overlap/friction between new Hollywood and blockbusters.

Problems with the Blockbuster formula:
  • Blockbuster are becoming more like a game 
  • They're set action pieces
  • They sacrifice the narrative within the film
