The Cyle From Development To Exhibition/Exchange

Here I have produced a cycle of how the film industry works. The first stage is development.

Development

This is the stage where ideas are put forward, once our theme and message was established we then started concerntrating on the dramatic structure.

As a new production company we had to consider film genre, target audience, finance and historical success of similar films, in our the film we looked at was 'Orphan'. We then prepared our movie treatment.

Pre-Production

Here we designed and planned. The group visualized what they wanted and I created the storyboard. We then sat down and discussed, our targeted audience we were targeting Asians so we got an Asian friend who is a very good actor to be the main character, alongside with me. As we have a low budget we had to consider the equipment tha was going to be used once this was established. Among the group we chose the roles of the Film Crew, e.g Director who was Teniola, she managed the shooting schedule. I took the role of Producer who created the scenes, i controlled getting the actress (Mandy), marketing and advertising, additionally I was one of the actresses (victim). I thought of the name of the film and tagline. Deborah was the Cinematographer who controlled photography for the film poster and magazine. I and Deborah was also Make-up designer and I was in controll of hair styling ( Mandy's hair in two pony tails). Teniola was also the composer who created the music for our teaser trailer.

Post-Production

Post- production is the process where, editing takes place- Editor (Teniola). We used advanced technology an Apple Mac. We used non- linear editing system Final Cut. As a group we supported Teniola in editing assisting her in what shots to use, shortening scene etc. This was a long and tiring process, however we managed to pulled through and tghe picture was 'Locked' ( No further changes were made to our teaser trailer). After this we had to put sound onto the teaser trailer which was done by recording by Teniola.

Finally we put our trailer onto You-tube to recieve feedback( Which was yesterday), we are now waiting for an ample amount of people to leave critisms and I will upload this via blogger with supporting evidence of a print screen.

Distribution & Advertising

Our film will need to be advertised in order for it to be successfull and potentially profitable and a pack must be put together known as a Package, and this is where our teaser trailer, poster and magazine front cover which will be mainly focusing on our movie, and promoting our horror movie. We will be advertising our trailer, poster and magazine through social websites such as Facebook and Twitter. As well as uploading our trailer onto YouTube to gain more responses and feedback. Web pages will be created listing information and details and pictures of our trailer, poster and magazine front cover.

Exhibition

The final stage is exhibition and exchange. Our horror movie will then be shown in mainstream Cinema's across the world and the ticket sales will be recorded to see how whether the film will be successful or not. Our DVD and Blu-ray disk will be distributed in selected countries, these countries will be, China, Asia, Japan, America, England and Wales. The reason for this is because we have a small budget that we need to abide by, and distributing our product worldwide will be simply unrealistic.

Whereas the Dark Knight could afford to this because they had major financial backing and a huge budget.
