CASE STUDY: VAL MORGAN - TYPO3 ONLINE BUSINESS APPLICATION

Cinema platform with integrated media toolsIn collaboration with MassMedia Studios, Sydney, Australia, a new Web Portal was developed for Val Morgan Cinema Network using TYPO3. The new plat-form incorporates three national sites under one “roof”. The solution offers diverse functions to support the work of media buyers and potential advertis-ers, among which are a film databank, an agenda and a calendar.

audience. The Film Planner is available in two versions: a basic version can call up films either according to key-word categories or program start month. The extended version, called the “Advanced Movie Planner” can also be searched according to target audience, age certification, the film opening or closing or its genre. This makes the Film Planner a particularly useful tool if a quick projec-tion choice needs to be made, or information gathered for the appropriate ac-companying advertizing strategy.

Solution Heart of the site, and foundation of the features created by AOE media, is the film databank. On the basis of material provided by Val Morgan, a TYPO3 MySQL databank was built, optimized and then loaded with all the films either previ-ously programmed, currently available, or about to be released in Australia and New Zealand. Then two extensions were specially adapted and a third custom programmed to implement the so-called Film Planner. This enables the swift and easy display of all available films, either in the form a short résumé, or in detailed form with a wealth of information about the film and its intended target

ResultFor Val Morgan, the antipodean market leader in cinema advertizing, a concept was realized that not only meets all its business requirements, but also offers a central information and publicity platform for media buyers and cinema advertizing clients “down under”.
