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.

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...
