Pre-production
The Pre-Production Process
Type of moving image production (media forms)
-
What type of media product did you produce and what
was it for? How did you distribute it?
We produced a 90 second thriller video for Depict.
We distributed this video by uploading it to the college’s media YouTube
channel. Depict is a competition for films with a running time of 90 seconds;
many filmmakers upload their 90 second video to Depict and only some of them
win. We uploaded our video to YouTube because many young filmmakers and even
big pop stars first started off on YouTube. We thought this was a good idea
because many people can watch our video and see our work.
-
What other types of moving image media product are
there? What different distribution methods are there?
Other ways of distributing your film, is putting it
onto different social media site or Vimeo; Vimeo is like YouTube but it’s what
filmmakers upload their films to, to get more views. Some people post their videos onto Facebook; a
lot of people use Facebook so the filmmaker will get thousands of views. There
are also film festivals for independent short filmmakers, this attracts
people’s interests and the filmmakers may be offered something big while at
these festivals. Other types of moving image media are music videos, TV shows.
Finance and sources of funding
-
What sources of funding exist for film, television
and other moving image productions?
The sources of funding for films are; self-funding,
public money, crowd funding, and sponsors. An example of a self-funding film
would be The Blair Witch Project, the film was developed in 1993 by the
filmmakers. The film only had a 35 paged script, the actors were told they
needed to improvise. During the production on Blair Witch, the actors were
given clues to where their next location would be, instead of the directors
telling them where to go, they had to find out for themselves by looking for
these clues. The budget for the film was as low as $20,000; then other figures
were said to be up to $75,000.
An example of public money would be BFI. BFI is
funded by The National Lottery; it’s there to develop and support original UK
filmmakers and films, to increase the audiences who can enjoy them. They
provide the help and the money UK filmmakers need in order to make their film,
whether it be a long film or a short one.
