8. 2016 Film Poster:
This is the new poster that I have created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Carry On Don’t Lose Your Head (1966)
This poster is aimed at families due to the vibrant colours, the pictures of scenes from the film and how it is informative but does not include too much writing that it would put the reader off.

10. 2016 Film Cover:
This is the 50th anniversary, Blu-ray DVD edition of Carry On Don’t Lose Your Head (1966) that I created.
As it is targeting families, I needed it to look interesting to not only adults, but children also; this is why I included the pictures of the smiling main characters on the front cover, and have made the back cover as eye- catching and interesting as possible.
The faded overlapping English and French flag is symbolic.

11. Film DVDs: These are past DVD’s I have found for the film.
After looking at the different DVD styles, I noticed there were different things I likes about each of them.

12. 2016 Film DVD: This is the new DVD that I have created for the film.
This design I have linked in with the original Carry On Don’t Lose Your Head DVD case, by using light blues and the scene of the animated people.

13. Exclusive Film Material:
This film will also feature an exclusive interview with Jim Dale, Leon Greene, Valerie Van Ost, Jennifer Clulow and Jacqueline Pearce.
Many of the cast from this film have passed away which is why they are not included in the interview, however what could also be included on this DVD is past interviews that were taken with the other actors and actresses.
Another idea of exclusive material that could be included on this DVD is music that was played in the film.

14. Forms of Advertisement:
Methods of advertisement to promote this film would include:
Adverts on TV and the radio.
Articles and interviews in newspapers and magazines about the film.
Posters in shops, on billboards and buses.
Advertisements on Facebook and Twitter.

15. Peter Rogers:
Peter Rogers produced the entire Carry On films along with the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Before he produced the Carry On films, he produced 17 other movies.
During interviews he stated how he enjoyed producing the films, and that the Carry On cast were like a family to him.
The reason he believed the Carry On films were so popular were because “they are common… just broad sea-side humour. It’s what everybody understands.”

16. Trailer:
The Carry On Don’t Lose Your Head trailer lasts for 2 minutes and 41 seconds, however a lot of the Carry On trailers are like this, along with many other films produced in 1966.
For the 50th anniversary, when re-releasing this film, we would still use the Carry On trailer, however we would shorten it where possible, so that it does not go on for too long and so that it does not give too much information away.
The other reason that we would shorten the trailer is so at the end of the trailer we can mention the 50th anniversary and explain that the film is coming out of Blu-ray.

17. Reviews IMDB: 6.5/10 “A delightful send-up of “The Scarlet Pimpernel”
Rotten Tomatoes: 64% “Classic Michievious Carry On.”
Empire: 3/5 “This bigger budget 13th entry in the franchise is one of its best with some decent sword fights in amongst the general saucy mayhem.”
