Production, Distribution, exhibition

 Today in class we learned Production, Distribution, Exhibition. This should help us know what big production companies do to get their movies out there. Example of big movie companies: Walt Disney, Universal, and 20th century fox, etc. 


Production  

Production is how you make the film. You have to have an idea, have to write a script, control your budget. Most importantly you have to know your cast. Personally, I believe your cast has to match with each character. When the cast matches each character, they wouldn't have to think too much about acting. You also have to know your budget. The budget will show how much you can spend on everything in total that way you don't go overboard with money. With budgeting comes an investor. An investor is the person who is providing money for filming. You have to make sure that your film is fundable so that your not wasting money. You also need you producer. Your producer helps produce the film and pitches in ideas. You should make sure you have an investor and producer that way everything is much easier and your not handling all the work.

Examples of horror production companies: 

  • Blumhouse productions
  • Hammer film productions
  • Ghost house pictures 
  • Twisted pictures


Distribution

There are many ways to distribute your film. Distribution is launching and sustaining films in a 'market place"  But I personally say distribute it digitally. Digital distribution is a very easy way to get your film out there. Your film maker is the person which decides how to present your film to its designated audience. When digitally distributing a film you able to send it out without shipping cost and its not too expensive. Filmmakers pay around $150-$500 per hour to air their movies in cinemas. This is a big cost especially when your film around is at its budget. Instead people can just digitally give out their films so they can avoid wasting all their money.  You can also distribute your film is by trailers, posters, articles. But they may cost some so they also have to match your budget. 

Example of horror distribution companies:
  • SRS Cinema 
  • RPV Media
  • Scott Brother Entertainment
  • Etiquette Entertainment Production  

Exhibition 

The exhibition is the cinema release of film which is the final journey of the your film making. This should mean your idea is clear to your designated audience and they are able to comprehend the idea you were going for. During the exhibition phase you give many ways that your audience may watch your film. Their should be many ways that can view the films so that your audience can have it available in many ways. 

Examples of Exhibition ways: 
  • Posters
  • Trailers 
  • Ad's 
  • Social media pages

Genre

 Introduction In class we learned about genre. Genre is just a category of a film. Examples can be horror, comedy, action, romance, etc. Genre was probably the most easiest to learn because people talk about different genres everyday not only in film but also in books and other things. My personal favorite is horror comedy because while I am get scared and throwing things I also get some laughter out of it. Some types of genres can be mixed together and balanced out.  Examples Horror comedy - Literary, television, and film genre that combines comedy and horror to form horror comedy Horror comedy mixes horror with comedy to balance out the amount of laughter and the amount of thriller. Horror comedy has been around since 1920s. The first horror comedy was "One exiting night". it was directed by  D. W. Griffith. Stereotypes in this genre is in the horror genre but put into a comedic way.  Sci-fi - a form of fiction that deals principally with the impact of actual or im...

Opening scene

 In class, we learned about different film openings. For example there is Flashbacks, Flash forward, Dreams, etc. The opening scene in a film is the most important part because it has to hook your audience to watch your film. The opening scene also gives some information about what the audience might see during the film. This keeps them curious and wanting to know more about the film.  What is an opening scene? An opening scene is how the movie basically gives information about what’s going to happen during the film. Sometimes the opening scene shows death, lovers coming together or lovers having relationship problems, potential marriage, etc. In opening scenes it also shows the character(s) you should be focusing on the most.  What is an opening scene?

Cinematography

 Cinematography  In class we learned about cinematography. From just looking at the word I thought it was going to be hard. It wasn't that hard to understand but it was kind of easy to understand. Cinematography is the art and technology of motion picture photography. So its mostly about the cameras movement, angles, and shots and what they are used for in general . Shots There are many type of camera shots but I won't talk about all I will just give a couple basic ones. First we got a Close up shot which is where the frame has just the head or face of the character in the screen. Its mostly used to show the emotion of the characters. Next we have a Long Shot which's shows the character form top to bottom without filling the screen. This shot is used to set the scene and the characters place in that scene. The last one I will give is Full Shot which is where the camera shows the character from top to bottom filling the frame. Its used to show more action rather than showing...
