The Beatles featured in their own film A Hard Day's Night which both promoted their singles featuring on the album but also attracted a large audience as it was the first film to feature band members. It acted as a mock documentary which created realism as the film used real fans to appear in scene where the band are running away from them or performing songs such as 'A Hard Day's Night', 'I Should Have Known Better', 'Can't Buy Me Love' and 'I'm Happy Just To Dance With You'.
The trailer fulfills its purpose of entertaining and informing the audience through the use of the non-diegetic sound. A voice over is used to describe the plot of the film whilst non-diegetic snippets from a range of their songs from the album A Hard Day's Night are also played but much quieter; this is so the audience can hear the voice over whilst recognising some of their hit songs. To entertain the audience and persuade them to watch the film, some clips from the film use the original diegetic sound, this way the audience are able to get a taste of the comedic genre of the film. In terms of editing,text is displayed more frequently towards the end to emphasise what the narrator is saying and bring attention to them for example a good review.

'The Young Ones' is a British musical released in 1961 featuring the singer Cliff Richard. Richard plays a character named Nicholas 'Nicky' Back which is very different to The Beatles films (A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Let It Be') as Cliff Richard isn't playing himself but a different character. This appeals to a wide audience as both fans of Cliff Richard and fans of musicals can enjoy it.
The Monkees starred in the TV show 'The Monkees' which helped increase the band's popularity.
