Homework

 homework task The difference between mainstream and independent- Mainstream films tend to come from major film companies like Disney or Warner bros and will normally have high budgets, A-list actors, large use of CGI and large amounts of marketing. Whilst independent films tend to come from small production companies with small budgets, unknown actors and a tend to have more of an arts aesthetic to make up for its like of high budgets or CGI. what technology was used to produce both Jungle book movies- the original jungle book film in 1967 used hand-drawn backgrounds, as well as multiplane camera to give the jungles a notion of depth. They used 'cels' which allowed several layers t be filmed at once and meant they didn't need to repaint the backgrounds repeatedly. The Jungle book 2016 was produced by Jon Favreau and was shot with only one actual actor, Neel Sethi, with the rest o the cast being voice actors dubbed over CGI animals.  why do Disney re-make classics-  Disney
 Disney was already vertically integrated at the time of the JB was release. Disney produced movies at their own studios and distribute them through Buena Vista distribution company. It distributed through Buena Vista in the US and used Buena vista international to distribute internationally, which were owned by Walt Disney studios. It handled theatrical distribution as well as marketing and promotion of the films released under Walt Disney. The company had been diversified into theme parks, creating Disneyland, and television with the Disney channel, Disney has been aware and using merchandising from the very beginning. A company will use vertical integration because it is cheaper than outsourcing to another firm.

Minecraft in its early stages saved large amounts of money due to the game not using much marketing i order to generate sales. Like most independent or `indie` games it relied on word of mouth through its niche audience of moders to sell the game on PCs. due to Mojang not having a massive budget, the game was sold exclusively to PCs and would not reach consoles such as Xbox and PlayStations till mid 2012. this was all changed in 2014 however when conglomerate Microsoft, owner of AAA games companies like Bethesda and Bungie, decided to purchase Mojang and Microsoft for $2.5billion.
