Summary

Misleading Movie Trailers explores the world of deceptive film marketing, revealing how trailers often misrepresent a movie’s true content, tone, and genre. This practice, driven by market pressures and creative liberties, can erode audience trust and negatively impact a film’s success. The book argues that these misleading tactics are a systemic issue within the film industry, not just isolated incidents. For instance, trailers sometimes selectively showcase scenes or use suggestive editing to create a false impression, which exploits consumer behavior.

The book progresses through a structured analysis, beginning with a theoretical framework that defines "misleading" trailers and examines the historical evolution of movie marketing. It then presents case studies of specific films and their trailers, dissecting instances of misrepresentation and analyzing the marketing strategies employed. A key finding is that while crafting an appealing trailer is essential, crossing ethical boundaries can lead to negative word-of-mouth, highlighting the importance of advertising ethics.

Finally, the book synthesizes these findings to explore the psychological principles behind deceptive marketing and the role of online communities in influencing audience perception. Ultimately, Misleading Movie Trailers aims to foster transparency in the film industry. By analyzing the persuasive techniques used in trailers, the book offers insights for filmmakers, marketers, and consumers, encouraging critical thinking and informed decision-making. It also benefits business management by exploring the effect of misleading ads in general and it's effect on future customer relationships.

How to live on 24 Hours a Day...

Arnold Bennett

Arnold Bennett's classic 'Time Management' book that most certainly still rings true today as we strive to control our busy lives. 
 
We tend to value money more rather than time, in the words of Bennett…'Newspapers are full of articles explaining how to live on such-and-such a sum…but I have never seen an essay 'how to live on 24 hours a day.' Yet it has been said that time is money. That proverb understates the case. Time is a great deal more than money. If you have time, you can obtain money-usually. But…you cannot buy yourself a minute more time'. 
You will learn how to make the time you need to acquire what you want out of life and what you want to achieve. There is no magic formula just an explanation of how most people use and waste their time and he shows you another way of using time to your best advantage. 
Bennett combines his reasoned and proven methods to explain with a fair degree of humour where people go wrong and how to avoid a typical day can be altered for the better even if you have a demanding full-time job.

Money in One Lesson - How it...

Gavin Jackson

You Spend It. You Save It. You Never Have Enough of It. But how does money actually work?Understanding cash, currencies and the financial system is vital for making sense of what is going on in our world, especially now. Since the 2008 financial crisis, money has rarely been out of the headlines. Central banks have launched extraordinary policies, like quantitative easing or negative interest rates. New means of payment, like Bitcoin and Apple Pay, are changing how we interact with money and how governments and corporations keep track of our spending. Radical politicians in the US and UK are urging us to transform our financial system and make it the servant of social justice. And yet, if you stopped for a moment and asked yourself whether you really understand how it works, would you honestly be able to say 'yes'?In Money in One Lesson, Gavin Jackson, a lead writer for the Financial Times, specialising in economics, business and public policy, answers the most important questions to clarify for the reader what money is and how it shapes our societies. With brilliant storytelling, Jackson provides a basic understanding of the most important element of our everyday lives. Drawing on stories like the 1970s Irish Banking Strike to show what money actually is, and the Great Inflation of West Africa's cowrie shell money to explain how it keeps its value, Money in One Lesson demystifies the world of finance and explains how societies, both past and present, are forever entwined with monetary matters.
