HMC, Hollywood.com and Totally Hollywood TV generate a wealth of time sensitive material covering the Hollywood industry - the films, the celebrities, and the events. But, what’s our strategy for leveraging all this great content? How can we turn our short shelf-life feature film assets into long shelf- life assets? What tactics are available for repurposing and syndicating our assets in multiple media. How can we maximize our profits while incurring minimal extra costs?
Here’s how Hollywood.com and THTV leverage content today. We present Film Studio’s “Free” marketing assets - Assets that we do not own. Trailers, EPK, Behind the scenes, The Making Of… And we augment it with information and data that we do own: Reviews Showtimes Ticketing And more…
We also leverage our High-quality / Low Cost Original Programming - assets that we own the rights to. But these assets are generally one shot deals - good for a couple of months. After a feature film is pulled from distribution, our valuable assets are pretty much history. Of interest only to those interested in film history. Now the question is, “ Who’s interested in film history”? - - - -The surprising answer is “Just About Everybody”!
Kids, teenagers, and adults all love trivia, fun facts, and games about their favorite films and stars. My seven year old son loves Lion King, I like classic like Casablanca, and I bet there are more than a few of you who crave all those important facts about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and their movies, ( although none of you will probably admit it )
Interactive Trivia offers users and HMC these “fun” benefits - Yes/No or Multiple choice questions about the stars, the movies, and the industry. Clues, fun facts, an other entertaining info to keep the player engaged Real-time competition against the clock and other players Fastest response time garners more points After each question, all players are ranked with a “Top 10” list. Continuous feedback keeps you hooked Collect prizes and coupons - and collect revenue for promotional fee Let’s take a look at a extreme rapid prototype (which means I created it last night). One thing to keep in mind. What you are about to see could not only work on iTV and the Web, but with modification, on CD games, board games, and cell phones.
