Decisions on sound, lighting Etc

 This right here is something I failed to realize. Some questions to ask would be, what sounds would my film use?, would they be diegetic or non- diegetic sounds?, would there be narration?, these are some questions that come to mind when thinking about sound. If you ever watched a teen movies made in the early 2000s, you can see how almost all of them have narration. Narration helps give background information to the audience. For example if the characters engage  conflict, the narration can give you knowledge on why this is happening or how did it start. Music can also help with the film as well. If you are doing a horror film you would use a low pitched sound, causing a eerie feel amongst the audience and setting the mood to how you want it to be. In our case we would put music that brightens up the mood, such as pop music to show how high school (in movies) really are. If we play some low music leading to silence, this foreshadows that something may happen just about now, or maybe the plot is about to reach its climax. Just like music, lighting plays an important part of setting the mood of the film. If you have lighting that is very bright lighting, it can show joy and happiness, which is what the group is trying to go for. We need bright lighting most of the film and joyful pop music to truly set the tone of the opening sequence. Although in some scenes where conflict does appear, we will use dark lighting and low tone music to give the audience a eerie feel. This will also help build tension

Decision

What kind of movie am I trying to make? I want to make a drama/ comedic movie that teenagers can relate to. Movies such as mean girls where the new girl wants to fit in with the more popular girls. This happens all the time in real life, especially in high school. Or just like the 2010 movie street dreams about a teen who goes through many hardships in his life and tries to go pro in skating. Although that's not what his parents want him to do, he does it anyways since that's what he enjoys that. As a teenager your parents may want you to be a doctor, engineer, architect, or something that just makes a lot of money. Even though you may want to do something else, you feel as if you must obey your parents, which is what is happening in this movie. As I said earlier my intended audience will be teenagers because I am making something that they can relate to. I will get them to see this movie by producing something that grabs their attention. Such as leaving a cliff hanger in the b...

Case study

 This case study was a rough and vigorous task since it was very hard to retain information. The 5 parts of the case study (History/target audience, production, distribution,  marketing, cross media convergence and synergy) all of these parts make up a case study. How did I do this? Well first you get the film of your choice that relates to the genre you are doing, I chose the classic film "Mean girls" After that you start dong research on all 5 of those topics. You may be able to find a couple blogs relating on how to do and find these very few parts. But make sure your websites are credential and legit. You do not want to be using websites such as Wikipedia to gain information. This websites information can be altered by anyone who chooses to do so. Once I retained all the information from my research, I started to form my case study. You can either do a power point, word document, or a video. I chose to do a PowerPoint since it is easier to divide those 5 topics. Then you ...

 Say if me and my team are successful in convincing the production company of your choice to endorse your film. But how can you " sell" you film and make back everyone's money plus a little bit more. This is a great question to ask yourself. Well first you have to start promoting your film, you can not just drop a film without promoting . No one will know about your film if you do not promote it. The way Netflix promotes things is very unique. Say they are trying to promote a new movie coming out soon, they will put it on every single platform they can. Platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and even Spotify. And you see or hear that ad every single time you open one of those platforms and eventually give in. With all of this promoting I am 100 percent certain that people would want to see it and share with friends and family. And with those techniques I am able to make my investors money back and even more than that. Now comes in the distribution companies. Companies such...
