Lessons from 100-years of All-American ads for toys
"Toys. The 100-year history of American toys advertising" by Jim Heimann, Steven Heller and Steven Heller. It contains 525 pages worth of advertisements. They range from trains sets to comic books and video games. Not only did the book show us the evolution of toys, but it also taught us how advertising works and how we can benefit from it.
Toy commercials communicate messages
Toy ads can send subliminal messages when they are seen by young children. This research shows the gendered messages toy commercials send. For example, Barbie commercials teach children that girls are expected to play with dolls and play with aggressive video games. Boy toy ads portray aggressive videogames and sports teams. These commercials are aimed at girls, but they are not without their own gender-based messages.
Toy ads are effective
Efficacy of toy ads can be measured by identifying what makes a commercial effective. Advertisements that target girls focus on appearance, grooming, and performance. Boys' ads are more focused on interactive toys, soft toys, board and art games, while those for girls tend to emphasize grooming, appearance, and performance. Boys' ads tend to feature male voiceovers. Although they are targeted at boys they also have the potential for girls.
Adverts for toys that are gender biased
Gender bias is a persistent problem in toys advertising. Advertising for toys generally features masculine characters who are aggressive and macho. Ads for female toys however, feature gentle characters. This is due to the advertising of sexy dolls or lingerie. Adverts that target girls focus overwhelmingly on female characters and emphasize beauty, performance, nurturing.
There are many ways to record toys commercials for classroom use
Toy advertising continues its powerful message to young children. The toy industry is a multibillion dollar industry that targets both kids and parents. Teachers can record ads for toys on television or other video-generated sites such as YouTube. This will help them to teach English. Teachers can use these advertisements to teach language structure, grammar, and genre. To help students understand the material, a lesson plan is necessary.

How many theaters do I need to make back my investment?
It depends on how many weeks you plan to make your theatrical production.
If you're planning to run your film for less than two weeks, you only need to open one theater.
If your film is going to be screened for more then two weeks, you will need two theaters.
How much does it set you back to distribute a feature length film?
A typical distribution deal will cost between $100,000-$150,000.
The average theater cost is about $10,000.
The average screen cost is about $5,000
It means that, if you have 100 screens your distribution fees would be $500,000.
Distributor fees of $50,000 would apply if there are ten screens.
Why is it that so few independent films are ever released?
Indie filmmakers are assuming that distributors will be interested in their films.
Because they love the work, distributors will likely buy their films.
But this is rare. Distributors often profit from independent filmmakers.
They might delay a film’s release date until after the awards show has finished.
They delay the release of a low-budget movie until after the summer blockbuster seasons has started.
Distributors try to keep films out of the hands of audiences until they've spent hundreds on tickets, popcorn, and candy.
They don’t want to miss out on these profits.
