Exhibition

Slumdog Millionaire was released on the 9th of January 2009. It was a medium reales type and the significance of the reales date was that their was not one. they released the film when they could as they found it hard to get it into the cinema at all. I would say this was an independent film as it faced many challenges that a mainstream film would easily over come such as distribution and marketing. But later crossed over to mainstream as it became a bigger film. The target audience was between 15-24 years of age as it appealed to their mind set more than say 50 year olds. at first the film had a limited reales but as it started to do well it was brought out on a wider scale witch was a smart move.

Theatrical posters

They marketed the film using love and money things and objects that appeal to everyone in a certain way.  They use theatrical posters to market the film to various different age groups. One poster is a more dark and blurry creating a sense of fast paced action. The other is a more upbeat poster with the main character cheering. it has a white background with a sort of gold text laid over it to make it stand out more and i think its done very well as I prefer the second over the two. I believe the USP os Slumdog to be the fact that its about the under dog rising up to change his life. 

Film 4 productions Slumdog Millionaire Production issues

Film 4 recently made Slumdog Millionaire, a very successful film at the cinemas. The production issues with the film brought up issues like music, casting new talent into the film and advertisement.
the music had to be chosen very carefully as it was a small budget film so they could not afford to get a big name in so they decided to go with A. R. Rahman.
Casting was also abig issue as they could not spend a lot of money on actors so they would have to take a chane with an unknow actors such as Dev Patel probaly the best known of all the cast from the hit tv series skins.
Also advertising the film would have come up but because of film 4 synigie with channel 4 the could market the fim on tv for nothing and that saved thgem alot of money when it came to advertising but they had to do all the posters the old fashoned way.
