Q3: Do you think that official and unofficial websites contribute to a film’s box office success? You should refer to other media products to support your answer.

Official websites contribute to film's box office success, as it gives the audiences a chance to see a peak of the film which would engage them to watch it. There are many examples provided on the official websites for a blockbuster film such as the official trailer, film poster, teaser trailers, images and more, this allows the audience to interact and share their opinions about the insight of the film as most of the broadcast examples are established onto YouTube therefore audiences are able to user generate their content on social media sites. The use of synergy allows promoting to the film as the audiences interactivity would feel more involved and engaged about the film. Many official websites also promote merchandises for fans, for example the Twilight Eclipse film would have franchises for their audiences creating a larger target audience and making the film become successful as more would want to watch it.

On the other hand unofficial websites are less contributed to a film's box office success as unofficial websites could provide copyright material or illegal links to the official materials to a film. In contrast to this, this could result the risk of new films being ruined as the film industry could lose profit as audiences would be downloading illegal materials of the film for free and therefore the film would be gaining no profit overall. Many unofficial websites could release unreliable resources or information about the film giving inaccurate information towards the audience ruining the whole excitement and experiences for audiences who want to watch it in cinema's.
