Merchandising, Transmediality and Nostalgia in Power Rangers Super Megaforce Ross P
[email protected] @DefConG Going Legendary: Merchandising, Transmediality and Nostalgia in Power Rangers Super Megaforce Ross P. Garner School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies Cardiff University Introduction • Research questions: • How do forms of nostalgia become constructed in programmes primarily targeting children? • What cultural issues do these industrially-located strategies intersect with? • Approach taken: • Nostalgia as discourse. • Addressing social, cultural, historical and industrial contexts. • Case study: • Power Rangers Super Megaforce (Saban Brands 2014) Introducing Legendary Mode Diegetic Codings of Objects Decontextualized Nostalgia Decontextualized Nostalgia and Imagined Audiences • Audiences targeted: • Fans • ‘Child’ = primary audience: • “Boys aged 4-8” (Saban Brands 2013: 2) • “As they get older, children repeatedly (and often fiercely) reject their former enthusiasms: differences of as little as a couple of years carry enormous significance.” (Buckingham and Sefton- Green 2004: 15). • Adults: • Intertextual pleasures (Gordon 2003) • Inter-generational bridging. Decontextualized Nostalgia, Adults and Reassurance • Useful framework = Giddens (1991)…: • Trust in abstract systems = subjective anxiety and powerlessness. • Counter this through reflexive self-narratives and ontological security. • …but add to this: • Davis (1979: 41) on nostalgia and self-identity. • Holdsworth (2011) – TV rememberance = show and context. • Discourses constructing the Power Rangers: • Violence; consumerist; aesthetic dismissals -

Synopsis II. Director’s Statement III. Bios IV. Credits 3 Synopsis Lucy Stanbridge has inherited her father’s boutique publishing house, and the ambitious would-be editor has nearly sunk it with failing YA titles and bad reviews. When she discovers the company is owed a book by Harris Shaw, a reclusive, cantankerous, booze-addled author who originally put the company on the map, she looks to him for one last stab at salvation, both commercial and critical. Her timing couldn’t be more perfect. Harris owes money and he happens to have a new book - which he hates. Lucy’s ecstatic until she finds out Harris’s old contract stipulates that no one edit his work. However, in exchange, he must tour the book. And so is born the book tour from hell - where fame doesn’t equal fortune, twitter followers don’t add up to shit, and the legacy you’re trying to uphold might be born out of lies the past can’t contain. 4 A Q&A with Director Lina Roessler Tell us about the movie. How would you describe the film in just a couple of sentences? Best Sellers is an odd couple road movie. -
CASSIAN ELWES to LAUNCH CROWDFUNDED PRODUCTION COMPANY MOVIE COLLECTIVE Submitted By: Orchid PR Thursday, 12 April 2018
CASSIAN ELWES TO LAUNCH CROWDFUNDED PRODUCTION COMPANY MOVIE COLLECTIVE Submitted by: Orchid PR Thursday, 12 April 2018 One of Hollywood’s most prolific independent producers seeks to democratise Hollywood Leading independent film producer Cassian Elwes has announced a brand new crowdfunding film venture, Movie Collective, inviting fans to invest in a slate of upcoming film projects and help democratise Hollywood. Until now, the studios and powers have shied away from opening up finance opportunities to the masses, instead focusing on traditional avenues of banks, pre-sales and large private equity investors. Having been involved with over 450 films, Cassian Elwes is arguably the most experienced producer in the independent film industry, and is now looking to challenge the status quo by calling on members of the public, from film buffs to high net worth investors to the first-time backers, to join his team and help bring more independent films to the big screen. Movie Collective, a joint venture with self-distribution expert and independent filmmaker Marcus Markou, is unlike conventional crowdfunding campaigns offered by the film industry and aims to disrupt the norm. The principle is simple; finance raised during the forthcoming Crowdcube campaign will be used to produce Movie Collective’s slate of films, with shareholders investing from as little as £10. It is the intention of the company to pay prospective profits as a dividend to equity stakeholders, with remaining profits used to help finance other projects on the slate. The first Movie Collective project, feature film Utopia Road, has been greenlit and is expected to shoot this summer. -
