I am a fifth year student - in the fifth year after the high school diploma- at
the Sorbonne University (France).
I am writing a report -about 60 pages long- dealing with the using of marketing
in the cinematographic industry. I am particulary interested in the tests used
by the american professionals during the elaboration of a film: scenario test,
cast appeal testing, tittle tests, sneak preview...
The aim of such tests is to resuce the risks of commercial failure.
 
I would like to get some information about these methods.
Thanks to all of you in advance for any info you could provide.
 
Take care
