Looking for a Summer binge watch or cinema trip? Check out our recommendations from July

We hope you're all enjoying your summer! It's been quite a strong summer for entertainment, especially this July. At Shot Blast Media, we've been discussing our favourite summer binges and cinema trips, and we thought we'd pass them by you. So, if you're back from your holiday and you want to fit in some last minute watching, these movies and shows may be perfect for you. The Boys: Season 1 Based on the comic book series of the same name, The Boys may look like just another superhero themed show, but there's a whole lot more to it. Streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, the show tells the story of a world dominated by superheroes, whom behind the scenes all have dark lives and secrets they are hiding. A group of human characters led by the rough and wisecracking Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) join together to exploit the superheroes for all of their dark and dastardly deeds. It is a totally new take on the superhero genre, something that even non-comic book fans could really get into. It's funny, dark and downright absurd. It could be the perfect binge for you! Midsommar The follow up to director Ari Aster's hit horror Hereditary from last year, Midsommar tells the story of a young couple who travel to Sweden to take part in a festival that looks tranquil and harmless on the outside. However, once the characters find themselves on the inside of the festival, they find out that things are not what they [...]

How to make your Health and Safety Communications more engaging

https://youtu.be/dPy45p6G2tE Hi I'm Lotty from Shot Blast Media and in this video we're going to be discussing five top tips for producing better, more effective and engaging health and safety communications.  So one of the most important things when producing any communication is to make it relevant and specific towards your target market so with a health and safety video for example you may have different types of audience groups. Take an induction video. So there are different people that may come and visit the site so you've got your staff, contractors, visitors and any may be potentially some specialist services so break down your content and that induction video into multiple edits so it's going to be more tailored towards the different types of audience. Your contractors for example might be interested in working at height procedures or dealing with confined spaces - or is that sort of information less relevant to someone visiting the site that maybe just needs to understand where the main muster point is. So make it relevant, make it key and topical towards your target market. One of the other things that you can do with your content is break this down into more simplified pieces of information. So this is all about bite-sized topics so say if you had a bigger theme like driving safety, you could break it down into the specific rules on site around driving safety and those could be individual videos but also part of a master [...]

Netflix, Amazon, Disney: Are there too many streaming services?

It's pretty much a given that nearly every household has a subscription to a streaming service nowadays. Whether that be Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Now TV, many people are moving from Freeview and Sky to the affordable nature of one of these services. With the lowest amount being £6 a month you'd be paying for Netflix, its no wonder people are moving from costly networks and deciding to be given new original content every week, as well as classic favourites you've seen before for a low price. Whilst the age of streaming services is in full swing, there are many problems that are starting to arise from the influx in companies starting their own services, and the choice that subscribers have to make. The big question this week is: are there too many of them? Netflix, Amazon and Now TV are the biggest streaming services in the UK, and many would argue that these three are enough. Not everyone has all of them, but in order to get the best exclusives many people subscribe to multiple, to get a bit of everything. Yet, with the success of these services, many companies are looking to get their own slice of the action. Launching at the end of the year comes Disney +, an exclusive new streaming service that will be, you guessed it, Disney themed. This one sounds very exciting. With Disney being able to not only upload tons of their own backlog of content, but also having their [...]
