 How do you get your film distributed? Film distribution is the commercial process that makes a feature film available to the general public. It usually also includes determining a marketing strategy.  In the old days, major film distribution companies put a movie into theaters, and it ran there for up to a year, and then it was gone.  The average theatrical run was trimmed by ancillary rights from up to a year down to 3-4 months. Distribution rights refer to the ability of one company to sell another company's product.  when distributing a film: identify elements that seem to work consistently. You need to be fresh, but also familiar.

planning: In this scene from the crime drama; Breaking Bad we can see a representation of age and gender. Age is contrasted to portray the idea that someone who is younger is out of depth, nervous, and can never really fulfil tasks given to them. In contrast, an older person is shown to be knowledgeable and put together. Gender is also heavily represented in regards to the male gender as we only see encounters between men. They are portrayed as the ones who will break the law, are dominant and may get into a fight. Comparatively we only notice women doing typical things like shopping or serving customers at the till. They are only used as side characters. In this essay, we will go over how this meaning is displayed using the four technical elements; sound, editing, camera, and mis- En -scene.   Many shot-reverse-shots are used throughout this scene which allows the audience to contrast the two characters that are shown at the beginning; the scruffy younger guy and the more put ...

In this clip from Grey’s Anatomy, a prevalent theme of gender comes through ; p articularly the element of women empowerment. A patient who is just about to enter surgery is seen to be supported by all the women the hospital has to offer. There is one nurse who seems to have a stronger bond with the patient and specifically helps her throughout this scene. This clip portrays unconventional elements but also many elements of realism.   The interaction between the two male doctors at the beginning of the scene immediately set up this unconventional gender element. As one doctor tries to enter a hallway the other one stops him which sets up an enigma of what is going on. The audience are immediately interested in what are behind those doors. The doctor then allows a women to walk through the doors in which the doctor replies 'but she can go' which creates irony and although not intentional a moment where the classic roles of a male being superior are switched. This whole inter...

  I have decided to update the logo for foundation portfolio as I was inspired the film companies of Warner Bros, Disney and 20th century fox. Filmmakers with these film studios are often encouraged to stylise their logo to fit the theme of the film. This is what I will be doing; inspired by this tutorial. It interested me as they used gold first and then transitioned into the original logo. Gold is a symbolic colour in our film as seen on the abductor's mask. I will be keeping the basis of what Samuel did as the foundation but adding this gold transition over the top.

I was inspired by this video to create a disappearing effect of the title to symbolise how our main character is disappearing. I will be using this tutorial to do so. Gone Girl was a film I was inspired by as it features the same effect with their title sequence. The slow fades of the words into thin air symbolise the character's we are portraying.

walt disney pictures In 1929 ; Walt Disney came up with the idea of 'steamboat willie' which was a cartoon that featured a mouse character which we all know today as Mickey Mouse. Through this cartoon, much success was brought to Disney and Walt Disney Productions was formed.   The first logo which debuted in 1937 showed the profile of Mickey Mouse and would change colours. For around 48 years, the Walt Disney company never showed an actual logo in their film only 'Walt Disney presents'. Although they had their mickey mouse logo for the company; this was never incorporated into their film. In 1985 a logo was introduced in films that is still recognisable today and sets up the basis of the logo. The logo was that of a light blue castle with the words Walt Disney Pictures displayed below it. From 1995-2006 a new logo was used that was very similar to the original one. It was updated to a lighter background and a more blue castle. The line behind the castle also stops a...
