How much power do we say over what we watch? • Does the internet provide a more extensive way for producers to target advertising? • Does the internet provide fans a platform from which to shape their entertainment?
Casual interest Insane behaviour Going to see a film Stalking a film star Draw a chart of fan interactions we can make with a film
So how much control do we have over our entertainment? • Who gains out of the internet more – producers or audiences?
How much influence do you imagine sites like this have on the studios? • Are fans a niche market? • Should films like this be solely aimed at the fan base?
Are fan sites a creative response to films? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZkqC4Lz8dU

Key Issues • Consider the extent of a fan’s involvement with film • How fans ‘consume’ film and film-related product • How marketing affects fans • How fans affect markets • Issues of fan ‘creativity’ • Issues of piracy • The balance of power between fans and the film industry • What makes a ‘cult film’? • Theories of audience behaviour • How fans extend the promotional ‘life’ of a film • The impact of the internet on the relationships between fans and the film industry
Sample question • Are fans simply manipulated by the film industry to demand more of what they have had before or is fandom an active agency for change in the film business?
