innocence and wholesomeness- When snow white and the seven dawfr are dancing and singing, when snow white sings with the animals
The american mid west
-Walt Disney had a significant impact on themes and values. many of his films, portray an idealised, all American vision of innocence and wholesomeness.
-Deep appreciation for family, community and hard work and these values are often reflected in his films. Characters such as snow white and cinderella are portrayed as virtous and hardworking and films often emphasise the importance of family and community bonds.
-Disney films features a nostalgic view of rural America. This vision of America was popular with the audience during 1930-1940s, when people were seeking an escape from the hardships of the great depression and world war 2
-portrayal of America life was not without criticism. people aurged his films present a narrow and idealised view of American culture that does not reflect the diversity and complexities of real life.
Walt Disney:
-Known to be demanding and difficult, but has deep respect for the art of animation and a passion for creating entertaining and inspiring films.
-highly involved in the creative process and would often closely supervise his animation, giving them specific instruction and feedback on their work. Has described him as perfectionist, high standers.
-he was known for organising company events and outings such as picnics and holiday parties and he offered benefits such as profits-sharing and a company pension plan.
Disney encouraged employees to pursue their own creative interest and develop their skills outside of their assigned work. This led to the formation of the 'nine old men' a group of top of Disney animators who were given the freedom to explore new techniques and style in their work.
What influenced the production of snow white and the seven Dwarfs?
snow white was inspired by a book by the grimm brothers that has themes of good vs evil, power of love, friendship and family, they changed it to a more modern audience and made it more innocent and wholesome. European folklore was also used as an inspiration either from others european animation and or from the traditional ballet and orpears.
Walt Disney deretermation to make snow white was what made snow white the first long length animation movie which became successful in animation and film and til this day its still a classic.
German expressionism also had a role with the influenced of snow white since German expressionism is emphasised the artist inner feeling. German expressionism also using exaggerated and distorted use of mise-en-scene. This links to snow white with the running scene in the dark forest which links to the use of exaggeration which made the forest looks like it comes alive and its dark and scary.
They used water colour paints for the background of snow white and they used different techniques such as the rotoscoping which is an animation techniques that animator use to trace over motion pictures footages. Another of the technical during the production of snow white was the multiplane camera it was a method that created the appearance of depth in animation.The camera was completed and was tested in a silly symphony called 'The old mill'. The old mill was essentially a trail-run for snow white and the seven dwarfs. probably contributed to its greatness. Unburden by any notion of a soild narrative, the film allows viewer to simply sit back and lose themselves in the atmosphere of the nature scene. Another thing that was used in the making of snow white was using the moviola which is a device that allows a film editor to view a film white editing. It was the first machine for motion picture editing.

narrative:
- origin story
The marketing of major Hollywood films has changed since the 1930s to which has been shown in snow white and in Shang-chi. The changes happended due to the increase in the development of technology. In the 1930s, they were not as advance with techology like today is.
Walt Disney for example has released mechanise a year before snow white release date, they had stole out several time before the movie was released. Before snow white was released, merchandise was never realised before the film and was typically released after the film was, whereas snow white did the opposite and was a great strategy because it not only worked as a form of advertising but also created a lot of exitcement for the audience because of the advertisement and marketing, but also its the first full animated movie. Following the film realese, many of the merchandise was sold such as hats, dolls and other accessories and along with the accessories was sold a soundtrack which was relased at the same time as snow white. Realsing the toys was a good stregty because its was able to grab the younger audience attention while they also got to learn the dwafs name. Another release way of marketing snow white was something called the 're-realse' where they release snow white again in the cinema 6 times since 1937 one because its would be introduce to a new generation but also Walt Disney likes to create nostalgia. Over time, the technology has gotten more developed which lead to snow white producing it on DVD and the soundtrack would got re-released on CD and viyel.
The technology has proliferation and has become more developed over time which can be seen with Shang-Chi that was released in 2021. Today the marketing of films has develop more because of social media. Because of social media, the cast can promote the film through their social media pages and people who are a fan can share which spread the film and creates a bigger audience, its a very effective way in promoting and marketing films today whereas in the 1930s, they couldn't do that. Another way that marketing has changed over time is doing collaborations and interviews, for example in the making of Shang-Chi they partner with the BMW which is a car company, there car was feature in the film which is another way of having their film marketing and differs from the 1930s. They also had character poster which gives the chance the audience to know who the characters are. Another way it has improved is because of CGI.

Explain how producers target, reach and engage audiences for film through content and marketing. In your answer you must explain how social and economic contexts influence how producers target, reach and engage audience.
Producers has targeted and engage their audience for film through content and marketing.
This can be shown In the 1930s with snow white and the seven dwafs in the marketing since Walt Disney had released merchandises before the releasing of the movie, this marketing stragey was a good way to get the audience engage and get ecited for the film, to engage the younger audience, they had released figuriens and other form of merch which was able to engage them and learn the drawfs names before the film was even released. In the 1930s, the technology wasn't advance as it is now, therefore, people in the 1930s were excited to see a full animated movie which had never be done before.
Whereas in Shang-chi, the profilcation in technology had become more advance and ways of marketing and engaging with the audience had become easier with the use of social media. The producer have used known superheros in the Shang-chi which was able to reach and target the MCU fans and get them engaged in the film. With the use of technology and the internet, the casts members were able to share the trailer onto their social media pages, and the own studio company were able to do that which reach a wide ranges of audience, therefore, the audience were able to interreact and share the trailer across other platforms. This was a very good marketing technique way to send the film out while also getting the audience involved in it.
The econmics for snow white was a lot because they were using advance techology at the time such as the mulitplane camera which was high techology back in the 1930s, the making of snow white took 3 years and since it was the first animated full length movie, it was more expressive because Wait dinsey didn't have the money and had to burrow the money from others .
