  • 'The Coolest Way to Watch Movie Trailers in the World': Trailers in the Digital Age Keith M. Johnston
    1 This is an Author's Accepted Manuscript of an article published in Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies 14, 2 (2008): 145- 60, (c) Sage Publications Available online at: http://con.sagepub.com/content/14/2/145.full.pdf+html DOI: 10.1177/1354856507087946 ‘The Coolest Way to Watch Movie Trailers in the World’: Trailers in the Digital Age Keith M. Johnston Abstract At a time of uncertainty over film and television texts being transferred online and onto portable media players, this article examines one of the few visual texts that exists comfortably on multiple screen technologies: the trailer. Adopted as an early cross-media text, the trailer now sits across cinema, television, home video, the Internet, games consoles, mobile phones and iPods. Exploring the aesthetic and structural changes the trailer has undergone in its journey from the cinema to the iPod screen, the article focuses on the new mobility of these trailers, the shrinking screen size, and how audience participation with these texts has influenced both trailer production and distribution techniques. Exploring these texts, and their technological display, reveals how modern distribution techniques have created a shifting and interactive relationship between film studio and audience. Key words: trailer, technology, Internet, iPod, videophone, aesthetics, film promotion 2 In the current atmosphere of uncertainty over how film and television programmes are made available both online and to mobile media players, this article will focus on a visual text that regularly moves between the multiple screens of cinema, television, computer and mobile phone: the film trailer. A unique text that has often been overlooked in studies of film and media, trailer analysis reveals new approaches to traditional concerns such as stardom, genre and narrative, and engages in more recent debates on interactivity and textual mobility.

  • Learning Trailer Moments in Full-Length Movies with Co-Contrastive Attention
    Learning Trailer Moments in Full-Length Movies with Co-Contrastive Attention Lezi Wang1?, Dong Liu2, Rohit Puri3??, and Dimitris N. Metaxas1 1Rutgers University, 2Netflix, 3Twitch flw462,[email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. A movie's key moments stand out of the screenplay to grab an audience's attention and make movie browsing efficient. But a lack of annotations makes the existing approaches not applicable to movie key moment detection. To get rid of human annotations, we leverage the officially-released trailers as the weak supervision to learn a model that can detect the key moments from full-length movies. We introduce a novel ranking network that utilizes the Co-Attention between movies and trailers as guidance to generate the training pairs, where the moments highly corrected with trailers are expected to be scored higher than the uncorrelated moments. Additionally, we propose a Contrastive Attention module to enhance the feature representations such that the compara- tive contrast between features of the key and non-key moments are max- imized. We construct the first movie-trailer dataset, and the proposed Co-Attention assisted ranking network shows superior performance even over the supervised1 approach. The effectiveness of our Contrastive At- tention module is also demonstrated by the performance improvement over the state-of-the-art on the public benchmarks. Keywords: Trailer Moment Detection, Video Highlight Detection, Co- Contrastive Attention, Weak Supervision, Video Feature Augmentation. 1 Introduction \Just give me five great moments and I can sell that movie." { Irving Thalberg (Hollywood's first great movie producer).

  • The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960S Promotional Featurettes
    The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960s Promotional Featurettes by DANIEL STEINHART Abstract: Before making-of documentaries became a regular part of home-video special features, 1960s promotional featurettes brought the public a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s production process. Based on historical evidence, this article explores the changes in Hollywood promotions when studios broadcasted these featurettes on television to market theatrical films and contracted out promotional campaigns to boutique advertising agencies. The making-of form matured in the 1960s as featurettes helped solidify some enduring conventions about the portrayal of filmmaking. Ultimately, featurettes serve as important paratexts for understanding how Hollywood’s global production work was promoted during a time of industry transition. aking-of documentaries have long made Hollywood’s flm production pro- cess visible to the public. Before becoming a staple of DVD and Blu-ray spe- M cial features, early forms of making-ofs gave audiences a view of the inner workings of Hollywood flmmaking and movie companies. Shortly after its formation, 20th Century-Fox produced in 1936 a flmed studio tour that exhibited the company’s diferent departments on the studio lot, a key feature of Hollywood’s detailed division of labor. Even as studio-tour short subjects became less common because of the restructuring of studio operations after the 1948 antitrust Paramount Case, long-form trailers still conveyed behind-the-scenes information. In a trailer for The Ten Commandments (1956), director Cecil B. DeMille speaks from a library set and discusses the importance of foreign location shooting, recounting how he shot the flm in the actual Egyptian locales where Moses once walked (see Figure 1).

  • Think of It As a Trailer@汥瑀瑯步渠 @汥瑀瑯步渠@汥瑀瑯步渠for
    publications Article Think of It as a Trailer . for a Book Ed Vollans Department of Media & Performing Arts, Hendon Campus, Middlesex University, The Burrows, London NW4 4BT, UK; [email protected] Academic Editor: Craig Smith Received: 19 April 2016; Accepted: 18 October 2016; Published: 1 November 2016 Abstract: The seemingly overnight emergence of a form of promotion known as ‘book trailers’ shortly after the turn of the millennium suggests a shift in the marketing and promotional strategies employed within the publishing industry. This article follows the historical development of the audio-visual form known as the ‘book trailer’ across its history with a view to understanding the form itself. This article uses third party mediation to identify ‘book trailers’ within the public domain, grounding this work within a broader media and literary history. As such, this article charts the use of the term ‘book trailer’ and its competing nomenclature through newspaper archives and contextualises this with antecedent practices, and integrating this with the current literature on the film trailer as part of a wider understanding of the promotional trailer as a cultural entity. Keywords: book-trailers; promotion; web 2.0; YouTube; video-sharing 1. Introduction For centuries the publishing industry has existed, arguably taking form with the invention of the printing press and the development of distribution systems that allowed a single text to be rapidly reproduced (and delivered to customers) for profit. For the last hundred years or so, the publishing and bookselling industries have coincided with the film industry (and the emergence of the film trailer), and for a little over seventy-five years alongside broadcast television and the maturation of broadcast networks that have resulted in a culture of audio-visual promotion.

  • Raising Awareness Through Digital Animation Royal Shakespeare Company’S Midsummer Night’S Dreaming Trailer Amy Rushby, Digital Marketing Officer
    Case study Raising awareness through digital animation Royal Shakespeare Company’s Midsummer Night’s Dreaming trailer Amy Rushby, Digital marketing officer This case study was produced as part of CultureHive, a free knowledge hub where you can discover and share best practice in cultural marketing. Visit www.culturehive.co.uk This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License. Supported by Created and managed by In partnership with Background In June 2013 the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) collaborated with Google+ to produce a digital theatre project, Midsummer Night’s Dreaming. The project was launched in May 2013, with the use of a “Billy Shakespeare” animated trailer to explain the play synopsis to potential new audiences. Objectives - Succinctly explain the plot of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in advance of the project - Have a trailer with a “share-ability” factor to spread the word about the project - Create engaging and inclusive content – viewers don’t need to be a Shakespeare / RSC buff to enjoy the video - A trailer which isn’t what audiences would expect from the RSC Target audience - RSC core audiences - General theatre audiences with an interest in digital - Educators – the video can be used as a learning resource - International audiences – who perhaps want to engage with the RSC in a digital way Process The Billy Shakespeare character was created by The Brothers McLeod and had been used in previous video content commissioned by the RSC. When it came to launching the digital project Midsummer Night’s Dreaming we wanted to produce a launch trailer that would capture the imaginations of our audiences, and appeal to those people who perhaps don’t have a lot of prior knowledge about Shakespeare or the RSC.

This bill makes various statutory changes to implement the 2018-19 budget. Specifically, this bill: Early Childhood Education 1) Updates the standard reimbursement rate and state preschool reimbursement rate, commencing July 1, 2018 to reflect a cost-of-living adjustment and other increases provided in the 2018-19 budget. 2) Updates the infant reimbursement rate adjustment factor from 1.7 to 2.44 and the toddler reimbursement rate adjustment factor from 1.4 to 1.8. In addition, the adjustment factor for children with exceptional needs is increased from 1.2 to 1.54 and the adjustment factor for severely disabled children is increased from 1.5 to 1.93.

The Art of Anticipation: The Artistic Status of the Film Trailer and its Place in a Wider Cinematic Culture Daniel Hesford PhD Film Studies The University of Edinburgh 2013 The Art of Anticipation: The Artistic Status of the Hollywood Film Trailer and its Place Within a Wider Cinematic Culture Abstract: Close association with, and proximity to, a culture of commercialism means film trailers are often overlooked in academic analyses of cinema. Trailers are, for many audiences, simply adverts: disposable, consumable and not 'worthy' of the critical attention paid to the their feature-length antecedents. Yet trailers' undeniable impact on spectators generates a spectrum of reactions which contradicts the often dismissive and negative reception with which they are met. Trailers receive intense popular and critical scrutiny and are constantly compared to the films they represent.
