Film pitch

 This film pitch I made was fun and very helpful. When you want to pitch your movie idea to a production company, these questions can help  you succeed in you doing that. 



Answer the following questions and others, as applicable:

·         What production company are you pitching to? Establish this first so that we know what perspective to consider your film from.

·         What is the title of your film?

·         What is the basic synopsis of your film? (Keep this short – 60 seconds or less.)

·         Why do you think this production company would be a good fit to make your film?

o   What films has the company made that are similar to yours?

o   Does the “brand” of your film align with some of the other films this company has made?

o   Can this company secure the resources necessary to make your film? (I.e. a small production company would not be able to make the next Jurassic Park.)

·         Approximately what kind of budget will your film require? Provide examples of other films to support your figures.

·         How do you plan to pursue distribution for your film?

o   Does the production company have a distribution arm of its own, or will you need to find a separate distribution company? If so, which ones do you have in mind?

o   Will your film seek distribution through the festival circuit?

o   Etc.

·         What else do you want the production company to know about your project? Why is your offer an attractive one?

 

Using all of these questions and answering them correctly, your film pitch to the production company of your choice will be successful. Doing research on such things such as budget, past films, and production, I realized that Paramount pictures would be the best choice for me. This is the film pitch I created.

In the opening sequence of other films in my genre, the opening usually has a wide arrangement of items in it. If you do not know by now the genre, I am going for is drama/comedy that teens can relate to. Usually in teen movies in her early 2000 such as Mean girls or bring it on, it usually has the exact same type of opening just with different characters. Almost all the time you may see the protagonist which is usually a new student at a school get ready, go on a drive with music playing while the opening credits may appear. The 2000 film "Bring It On" has quite a unusual opening scene. The main character (or protagonist) appears to be cheering on a cheer team with her squad. All of the cheer members seem ecstatic while reciting their choreography. One by one the camera goes to different people, foreshadowing that they may be some of the side characters but have a major impact. Towards the end of the cheer the main character has a embarrassing moment when one of her article...

Production process

 Throughout this production process, not many types of technology were used. Since our cameras never came in, we had to be creative and use whatever we had. In the group i was in we simply used our phones to film and our computer to edit the shots to our liking. This was not really hard since the quality came out perfect and so did our shots. I personally learned that lighting plays an extremely important role in making a quality production. The lighting where he had to film was relatively dark, so we had to use certain camera angles to make the lighting a little bit brighter. The shot types that were used also had an effect on what the lighting would look like. In order to use our equipment properly, I had to watch dozens on top of dozens of videos to make sure that we produce a quality piece. These videos explained how to use the camera, how to edit, even how to hold the phone. These videos were actually a lot of help and I am very glad that I did watch them. I asked my teacher h...
