IMDb stands for...
I ~ Internet
M ~ Movie
D ~ Data
B ~ Base.
These are a few examples of 'horror' films out at the moment on IMDb. IMDb tends to rate, give the film a specific star rating and allows you to see the trailer; especially if it is one of the latest films out. It also shows the audience showtimes for a cinema near the individual looking, if of course it is out currently in Cinemas. They also at IMDb give you information about who is director, the writer or writers,; as well as the amount of reviews and the overall popularity. They furthermore give the individual an option to see trends in the search engine allowing to see what else did people liked that is similar in a way to a particular film. The contrast could be within the actual story line itself, plot keywords, details, or even an individual that is present in either the acting or the production of the film. Also IMDb also encourage discussion about their topics in the form of either: frequently asking questions, user reviews or message boards.
This allows the use of Citizen Journalism presented by Dan Gilmor to take an effect as it would ultimately raise IMDb revenue at the expense of the critics and audience.

IMDb has a most popular page which allows the audience to see the most popular trailers such as Morgan, which in fact is a thriller film but has elements of horror at least according to the trailer. This suggests that the audience are craving for another classic horror movie; as they are willing to invest time into exploring IMDb for the latest trends. These pages allows incredible incite to companies that produce films and companies like us, (Blood Shot Productions) to get incite from clearly successful trailers. We believe that the slasher genre is in desperate need by our audience according to our research which is why it is incredibly significant that we look at the trailers that are deemed most popular.
A Nightmare on Elm Street is deemed fairly popular by IMDb as on average with 146,433 star ratings it has received a 7.5/10.
There is also trailers available to watch to get a flavour of the film and what the plot is about; this would hence forth allow the interest of a particular audience, this IMDb would use to its advantage by providing a watch now for a particular price; this would allow increased revenue at the expense and pleasure of the target audience. Wes Craven is also a famous theorist that we have included on our website as we have recognised his contribution to media. Also by including the main stars it can encourage individuals who are a big fan of for example Johnny Depp to watch the film. Although the popularity has decreased quite significantly it has received a meta score of 78, which for the time of production is still incredibly good. Perhaps the reason why the popularity has gone down is not because the film isn't of good quality but rather that there is a lack of slasher films that are new,modern and as memorable as this particular film; which is why we as Blood Shot Productions are willing to provide for the audience in this gap in the market through the production of our trailer.

This is an example of an extract of a review on the horror film, 'A Nightmare on Elm Street'. Stating that it is tailored for the audience that like their gore but also for those who like ideas that provoke them intellectually. This review also mentions the sequels which is safe to stay that this review was not posted shortly after the release date; it mentions the sequels as quoted, "Sequels dumbed down the series to a regrettable degree" suggesting that the sequels were only shadows of the former film and that it didn't do the film any favours. The reviewer also mentions another film Halloween suggesting that the two films 'Halloween' and 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' have at least one thing in common because of the significance those films have made on the how the audience view what a good horror film is; but also what good horror films also entail. So we can use these examples to help us see where we can potentially improve on our trailers for the client's film.
Out of 456,602 the average rating of the film World War Z is a 7/10 which is still fairly high for modern,zombie apocalyptic film. As with the other films they tend to show promotion trailers and the main cover to give the audience a glimpse into the actual film. They also offer at the IMDb website a chance to watch the film right now on Amazon Video ; in order to make revenue out of the audience who desperately want to watch the film.
Again stars like Brad Pitt with their fame as a celebrity might promote the film in itself as fans of the works of Brad Pitt from films such as Thor might entice the audience enough to check out the film World War Z. The synopsis also intrigues the target audience specifically by catching them on cliff-hanger sentences; which makes their imagination go wild, giving them a desire to want to watch the film even more.

This is an example of a review based upon World War Z and that is an example of Citizen Journalism that IMDb use to create more revenue.
This particular review tries to be constructed above all else, however does not hold back on opinions of the film and also with that incorporates a level of creativity to keep the reader of the review interested. As quoted "many of us want to see them crash and burn in a spectacular fashion so it will forever put a knife in all these bloated action epics."This clearly shows the eagerness of the reviewer wanting his opinion to be put across but he uses the pronoun 'we' to make it seem less aggressive and more of an approachable review.
He also mentioned that World War Z is one of the movies "many wanted to see fail". Naturally we heard about the over-budgeting of the film and the out of control productions; this clearly illustrates the lengths Hollywood are willing to go to attract a large amount of people and thus a lot of people from a variety of audiences.
