How Social Media and Viral Marketing are Saving the Film Industry [INFOGRAPHIC]

How Social Media and Viral Marketing are Saving the Film Industry [INFOGRAPHIC] | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

:  "An infographic reveals how the film industry is using social media and viral marketing to compensate for declining ticket sales."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

Another great infographic.

Justin Nalepa's curator insight, December 20, 2012 11:32 AM

In applying this to documentary filmmaking, I think the "Varied Monetization" section to be particularly interesting.

Jeni Mawter's curator insight, December 20, 2012 9:38 PM

Awesome infographic to show how the declining film industry is fighting back!
