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

Strip boarding

 Today we are going to talk about strip boarding. Strip boarding is another important key to filming our opening scene. Lets just get right into it. What is strip boarding? Strip boarding is a chart containing color coded strips each strips containing information about a shot or scene in the films script. This is also somewhat of a calendar and can help you in creating your production calendar (there will be a blog for information on production calendar). This is a very important thing to do so you can be cognizant of what's going on in each scene. It can also help you film quicker. For example, in my groups strip board we have ours color coded by location. This is a very helpful technique because it helps you make filming everything a whole lot easier. It also helps you finish off shooting locations and ensures you that you don't have to go back and forth with locations. For our opening scene we have two locations. One which may consist of one our house or just use one of our ...

Post Production week

 Hello welcome back to my blog. Today we are going to talk about how the process we are currently going through. Our process The process that we are going through is very stressful yet it fulfills us with joy. After we finished the script, storyboard, and every other item in the process of starting film, ideas started to emerge in our minds. Instead of flash forward we thought of doing a flashback and instead of recording in this area we will record here. Just lots of ideas starting to form that we would re-look our own script. I feel this normal. For example, when your writing an essay or going to order food you wouldn't have too many ideas at first but when actually are doing you start having many ideas. We actually started film on Wednesday February 23 but we didn’t finished and had to redo it. It was so stressful to shot because of distractions and other people who didn’t know of then project just coming up and asking questions or just watching in general.  Most current...

Top 3 favorite film opening scenes

 In a class discussion we talked about our top 5 favorite films. I picked  Granddaddy day care, Scary movie, The trap, A haunted house 2, and Night school. All these movies are found on Netflix. So today I’ll talk about the opening scene on my top three favorite films.  Granddaddy day care Granddaddy day care is a comedy movie found on Netflix. It’s about a guy who wants to be a novelist but also has problems with money. His father in law needs a place to stay and him and his wife decide to let him stay as long as he needs. Needing to pay bills and find a quick way to make money he decides to start something like a day care for seniors at his house to make money off of that. Granddaddy day care opening scene showed the book that the man was thinking about and how he was having trouble trying to write it. This helped me see that him trying his best to make a perfect book meant that writing the book was important for his future and the movie will show later on why it was im...
