2) What is conglomerate ownership and how does it link to Black Widow?

Conglomerate ownership is when major media companies own smaller ones, this links to Black Widow because she is part of the Marvel Industry which is then also part of Disney the owning media company.

3) Analyse the film trailer for Black Widow. What aspects of the trailer tell you this is a big-budget blockbuster movie?

From the Black Widow trailer, I notice lots of stunts and pyrotechnics (like flipping and background explosions) giving it the action feature and I also notice little parts of humour like how many Marvel trailers will end with. 

4) How was Black Widow promoted to an audience? List at least three different methods used by the film's marketing campaign and why they were effective in promoting the film.

Black Widow could've been promoted through social media, cinema advertisement, public transport posters, self promotion and potentially star power promotion.

5) What was the production budget for Black Widow and how much did it make at the box office? 

The production budget was around $250-$300 million and it made $350-$400 million at the box office.

6) Would you consider Black Widow a successful Hollywood blockbuster? Why?

Yes I would consider Black Widow as a successful blockbuster because they included a star power actor, followed with a good movie plot and creating more internet/movie buzz with every other Marvel movie that includes Black Widow (For example Avengers Endgame).

7) Who regulates the film industry in the UK?

The British Board Of Film Classification regulates the film industry in the UK.

8) What age rating was Black Widow given? Why?

The age rating for Black Widow is 12A, this is because most children who are under 12 that want to watch the film could still find scenes in the movie disturbing (like the violence) which is why they need a parent or guardian with them to be able to watch it. However if you are the age or above there is no problem.

9) Read this feature on Marvel using a fan's tweet to help market the film. Why is audience interaction such an important aspect of modern film marketing? 

The audiences interaction is an important aspect because it's giving Marvel feedback on how they did on their film to improve and get better for the fans.

10) What other interesting details can you pick out of the article about Black Widow marketing? For example, you may want to make a note of some statistics, ratings or how they used TikTok influencers to help promote the film.

They increase ratings by including other influencers to promote them whether is cosplaying, showing merch, or vlogging them going to see the actual movie, this draws in the audience because if their favourite influencer is seeing it then they should see it too.
