They gained alot  of attention through social media.

This meant it was widely available to be viewed by anyone, however Honeytrap didn't gain any popularity through the use of other marketing techniques. This meant that word about the film didn't get out. 
Honeytrap also had to gain following by implying the whole plot through their extended trailers. This was done to give some back story to the plot and ensure that it would provide interest in following the characters through the film. Honeytrap relied on its story line to gain a following, however Spectre did not release any of the plot before the film came out, as it already had a huge following, and created more interest through the form of mystery. ]]> 2016-05-06 08:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/technologicalconvergence/wish/109573731 khumphrey1 https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/technologicalconvergence/wish/109573853 The first pieces of advertisement for the film came with the release of one set stills that were released simultaneously across all of Spectre/Eon's social media accounts. in terms of the hyprodermic needly theory, impacting all platforms in such a sudden way meant the audience was unable to escape the film.

These ideas may include new technologies, film and music ideas as well as festival funding ideas. This is a good way for independent, niche films to gain funding due to the fact that those who are investing in the product are clearly intrigued by the ideas as well as it directly targeting a new innovative audience. Furthermore, the film has been marketed online using Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, which would have not been available a decade ago.  Social networking sites have allowed a whole range of new audiences to be targeted and reached due to the availability of sharing amongst friends.

In addition to Skwillia had Polydor signed artists such as Mc Killa P and Russo, who were both from Brixton. Hence, the soundtrack gave the feel a true sense of authenticity. 
Whereas with Spectre, their single from their soundtrack, 'Writing's on the Wall' by Sam Smith was created to simply be a chart topper which help aide in the promoting of the film. ]]> 2016-05-06 08:58:51 UTC https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/technologicalconvergence/wish/109574415 https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/technologicalconvergence/wish/109574920 2016-05-06 09:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/technologicalconvergence/wish/109574920 https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/technologicalconvergence/wish/109575098 2016-05-06 09:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/khumphrey1/technologicalconvergence/wish/109575098
