I am going to sell and market the independent film 'The Jungle'. The jungle is a short, low budget film; the film tells the story of big cat conservationist LARRY BLACK and his filmmaker brother BEN as they travel into the Indonesian jungle to  document the rare and endangered Javan Leopard. As they travel deeper and deeper into the jungle they realise they are being stalked by a deadly predator. Due to the low budget 'the jungle' has they need to advertise their film through methods which do not cost any money. The internet is a very powerful tool in promoting things. Here are some examples:

Tracking project - Mr Jackson

         Tracking Exercise – The Dark Knight Rises

The dark knight rises is the newest addition to the batman saga, Eight years on, a new terrorist leader, Bane, overwhelms Gotham's finest, and the Dark Knight resurfaces to protect a city that has branded him an enemy. It was released on July 16^th 2012 and was directed by Christopher Nolan.

The dark knight rises was deemed a great success both in viewers and financially, making huge profits with a total of $1,077,628,688. It made 41.5% of its total in America ($446,828,688) and the other 58.5% overseas making $630,800,000). Clearly from figures the new batman is seen as a definite success and from my personal view is one of the best films I’ve seen and is definite the best new release. 

In 2003 the average budget for a large Hollywood film is around the $100 million dollar mark for a large one, for a smaller one is around $30 million. The dark knight rises exceeds these figures having a production budget of $250 million. The film is a Warner brothers production, being one of if not the biggest company in Hollywood showed it was destined for success, it being very unlikely for the company to back a film with out great success and a rarity for the budget being under $100 million.

The Dark Knight Rises has seen its best overseas success in the UK, with takings of $77.8m. Its great success in the UK could be due to its British director Jonathan Nolan and it’s British cast including main actor Tom Hardy. The dark Knight rises had great success all over Europe, one reason being its previous films had built up a fan base which attracted them to the sequel. 

Public liability insurance and completion

Public liability insurance: a show that will have to pay a lot of public liability insurance would be Jeremy Kyle. This would be due to the risk of fighting and verbal abuse. Jeremy Kyle constantly interrogates awkward family feuds or situation which are ready to explode whether this be between a boyfriend coming face to face with the man his girlfriend has had an affair with. Constantly there is arguing an more often than not a fight which is intervened by a number of security guards.  With the constant risk of fighting on television in front of a live audience will be a risk and will need to be covered. This will be covered by public liability insurance.

Completion insurance is an insurance taken out by a show, series or film when making the program or film. When a film is being made many things can go wrong and with a release date they have to take out insurance to protect them if it is not made. The show not being delivered to the paying company will result in  sewing the show or charging them for huge losses. Depending on the size of the product depends on the price of insurance, it will be done through a risk assessment for example a huge film like Skyfall will cost a large amount of money due to the anticipation and high expectation, the failure of producing this film would reflect badly and internationally known leading more work and money needed to sort things making the insurance very expensive. An example of this happening is the fire of pinewood studios where James Bond and Harry Potter. Earlier this year during the progress of skyfall being filmed the studio was set on fire. The stage had been transformed into a replica Venice where the film, with a reported budget of £39m ($72m), is partly based. With such a high budget the insurance would be a lot more than most other things. The damage would then be assessed and the damage would the be paid back to the production team.

Hazard Highlighted Checklist

One of the three of the highlighted red i have chosen is 'water/proximity to water/tanks' this would appeal to a show like 'total wipe out' because water is used a lot in a show like 'total wipe out'. When contestants fall of the props they always land in water. The water is highlighted red due to the risk assessed with it, water effectively can lead to death and therefore is a major risk leading to a large insurance payments and highlighting it as a 'red'. An example of this in 'total wipe out' is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmyaoAipf_Y&safe=active

Another one would be 'working at height' due to the activities often seen in 'total wipe out' include activities high up, falling can also cause serious injury or death. As involved with height a lot this would be a major insurance issue with the show. This would be a main insurance point of the how being one of the most serious due to injury often occurring. An example of this happening can be seen in the link below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovwgPVnCNds&safe=active

The risks highlighted red are normally linked with the more serious issues which can resort in serious injury or death such as drowning, fire etc. Another incident which for 'total wipe out' would be highlighted red and seen as a serious risk would be 'live electrical equipment' this would be a high risk for total wipe out as a lot of cameras, microphones are used around water, this increases the risk more and can potentially fatal. This would also be a high insurance fee and examples of this can be seen in both the clips above.
