Entrepreneurship the key for a successful museum2crebusproject
This document discusses applying entrepreneurship concepts to museums. It argues that entrepreneurship can help museums remain effective and relevant as the environment changes. Museums can generate their own income through entrepreneurial activities like branding, marketing, and offering educational products and services. Some successful Romanian museums like Bran, Peles, and Antipa have adopted entrepreneurial approaches and generated a large percentage of their own revenues, with Bran becoming self-financing in 2009. Entrepreneurial behavior in museums can have positive economic, social, and educational effects for the communities they serve.
The document discusses carrying out a questionnaire to gain audience feedback on what types of films they prefer. The questionnaire was handed out randomly to get diverse feedback. The results showed that the 14-15 year old audience preferred thriller, horror and paranormal films such as Twilight, Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity.
The document discusses the target audience and changes made for a horror film project. Originally aimed at female teenagers, the target became both genders aged 11-20 and featured an Asian ethnic background to challenge conventions. Market research found the target audience enjoyed horror films like Paranormal Activity and Twilight for their fantasy elements and ability to inspire curiosity. For the film's promotion, the trailer uses music and sounds to build tension and intrigue viewers. Silence is added to narrate the story, and upbeat music from the film plays to show relevance between the trailer and film. The poster uses dark colors, focal images of a character looking behind them, and text for key information to attract audience attention.
This media product uses conventions from real horror movies by employing a handheld camera, sinister music, dark lighting, and four sound codes similar to films like Paranormal Activity and The Ring. It develops some conventions by having a female actress play the supernatural ghost rather than relying on a male gaze, using camera techniques like tilted shots and low angles to show actor expressions, and setting the story in a home as seen in other horror movies such as The Grudge. While most conventions are followed for audience recognition, the use of a female ghost and camera techniques develop forms somewhat from typical horror films.
