- In print, films are advertised through news papers, posters and help of merchandising with free give  away's ( fast food chain promotions )
There also film tours, where the whole film crew, including actors and directors would go to special appearances, or talk shows to promote.
Last year, Skyfall took over the scenes when the film was first being released with in the UK, with having TV ads, billboards, bus advertising etc.

 - Train station, catches a public members attention, using iconic words which are used within the film, makes the public feel included.

  - YouTube homepage, as soon as someone signs on to YouTube the film ad, catches their eye and would make them want to see the film more

 - celebrity, having someone famous sing a song for a film draws that celebrities fans t want to watch the film, simply just because of who has featured on it.

 - popular brand of drink.

 - billboards

 - side of a bus

by investing so much money into marketing, promoting and advertising helps create a bigger audience to watch the film as if the public has seen it everywhere, they would want to know whether the film was worth all the time invested in promoting it.

Majority of cinema audiences are between the ages 16 - 24. the film team would have to consider what genre the film would be, how appealing the film would be to those specific people, whether they would be able to branch the film out to people who don't just love the particular genre, but others  be interested as well.
