I came across this article and found it really interesting! Have you ever watched a movie where you were interested in one of the products in the movie?! I know that I have. This article talks about a website where you can find the product that the actor/actress was wearing so that you can buy one of your own! what do you think?
Have you ever wanted to buy a product featured in a movie?
Have you had trouble finding that product and wished you knew where to find it?
Music in movies probably has more of an effect on me than products. I will sometimes here a short part of a song and it will drive me crazy until I find out who sings it and listen to the whole thing. One product that came to mind when I was reading this was a movie I watched years ago with Steve Martin in it "Housesitter." The fell in love with the house in this movie. He built it as a surprise for his girlfriend. It was yellow with big columns and a wrap around porch. I've always wanted a house with a wrap around porch.
ReplyDeleteProduct placement is one of my favorite things to look for in a movie. It intruiges me that specific companies would team up with that movie. It also interests me which products producers choose to sponser. I also agree with Nellie that music is very influential. This website is very cool and I am dying to buy some thing from it.
ReplyDeleteI think this website is cool. I have wanted to buy items that I saw in a movie, but before taking this class I did not really pay too much attention to product placement. Now I look for it everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I cannot tell you how many times I have wanted something an actress was wearing, but of course, trying to find it myself would be difficult. And, I love the idea of including crowd-sourcing to improve the site. Viewers are able to help identify and locate items, even ones that "are no longer available". And, they could even offer the opportunity to allow users to post some of these items for sale on the site.
ReplyDeleteI love when I can find products in movies. The whole time I was watching Transformers a few weeks back I kept noticing product placement throughout the movie. I've never really wanted to purchase anything in a movie (other than a car which I know where to find and that I can't afford anyway), but I do think this is a really neat sight.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool idea! There have been several times where I have seen something in a movie, and I have wanted it or something similar. I can say though that I have never tried to go find the product because I felt like it was a loss cause. Now that I know about this website, I might have to try it out if I see something that I want and it is affordable!
