Digital Technologies
Youtube

- Meet the cast
Posters (available on sky movies) http://www.streetdancethemovie.co.uk/
The use of all these technologies gets the reader involved with the movie and also makes it an intrest as well as entertainment.
3D
It is also shown in 3D which would suggest that it is aimed at a younger audience, maybe teenagers and young adults. The technologies used would also suggest it was aimed at a younger audience as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and Youtube are all part of a younge persons everyday life and are commonly used.
