This has become more apparent in recent years where films even have their own social media accounts to share and update fans with anything related to the film itself whether it be interviews with the cast, trailers, movie posters, or just to simply interact with their fans. Some movie critics claim that social media is ruining the movie industry because films tend to get too much coverage which leads to spoilers getting revealed before the film releases.

Film companies have excelled in how well they can and are able to distribute and market their films and this is because of the introduction of new technologies. These technologies include: Official websites and blog sites, press and public previews, online competitions, phone apps and social networking sites. The typical and traditional form of marketing a film towards an audience would be in the form of film posters and trailers but as technologies have advanced so has marketing methods. For example for one of my case studies, The Avengers have really interesting methods which engages their audience on their website which has direct links to their social networking pages including Facebook and Twitter.

It is also beneficial for the audience as it gets people more engaged with the film, they can share experiences with friends and keep up to date with recent updates and news.
