WELCOME MODERATOR


Welcome to my blog!


I worked with Beatrice Chavadrova 1309, James Eager 1372, and Alex Davies 1313.


I hope you enjoy my blog, which contains work on the G322, the titles and openings of a psychotic thriller which we named 'Focus'.

My evaluation questions are above.

CONSTRUCTION: RE-SHOT OF SHOPPING SCENE AFTER FEEDBACK


After feedback of this shot I decided to create a 'Before and After' document to convey the difference between the two shoots and how we as a group improved it. Also, Alex Davies 1313 created a short video to show the difference between the two shots more clearly.

CONSTRUCTION: FOCUS TEASER

Our group has created a teaser for our film opening.

We decided to create a teaser as a form of distribution. It will help our target audience to see how our film is going to turn out. It also creates hype for our actual film opening.

PLANNING: WHY I CHOSE WARP?


Warp Films is an independent film and television production company based in Sheffield & London. Warp Films was established by Warp Records founding partners Rob Mitchell and Steve Beckett.




Vertigo Films is a UK Film and Distribution company founded in 2002 by Allan Niblo and James Richardson. The following year Rupert Preston and Nick Love joined and became partners. The company’s mission is to create and distribute commercially driven independent cinema and since inception it has produced 28 films and distributed a further 35. 


When looking into which distributer to distribute our film, I looked into to two independent distributers because that would be the most realistic approach for my film. The companies are Warp and Vertigo. I researched what genre films each of the two companies distribute and work with. This would give me a better idea of which distributer would be best for my film. 

My film opening is based on a sociopathic photographer who has unreachable standards in his work and in his personal life. This short summary conveys that my film would be a psychological thriller. Therefore, I think that Warp Films would be the best distributer for our film. Furthermore, if our film opening was a full length film I think that Warp would help it to become Critically Acclaimed and nominated for film awards (e.g BAFTA)

Warp distributes films which are usually critically acclaimed and get nominated for awards, like our film would hopefully do. An example of this is the film '71' (I saw this film when visiting the BFI). '71' got nominated for 8 British Independent Film Awards and won for Best Director. This example fits perfectly with our film as '71' has a niche audience because of the controversy and the violence. Whereas, Vertigo produces films which are for a larger and mainstream audiences, such as 'Monsters' and 'StreetDance 3D'

Therefore, I would pick Warp Films to distribute our film for all of the reasons that I have stated.
