Distribution Plan

Distribution Plan-

Digital/Conventional Distribution-

The most effective way to distribute my film would be to go virtual. This is because i'm targeting a audience of young adult, between the ages 17-30.  Due to this it would be a wiser idea to peruse a more digital heavy distribution plan. The traditional "Box Office model" distribution pan will be used cause even though the attendance to conventional theater has been lowering every year it will still a golden standard for rating  from a critic for a film that can garner more attention for a film in itself.. The right to my film would be sold to a distributor to handle it getting to exhibitors. Lionsgate would be a good distributor as they have had experience with horror films such as the one I researched Jigsaw. They would distribute it to exhibitor to the 4 main exhibitors in the US but focus on more AMC since as of July 2018 have had the most attendance out of all the exhibitors. My film I will not just focus on domestic but also international specifically China. This is because it China only allows a few films a year to hold but it hard to get approved as it has many regulations. But with a separate cut of the film being made specifically to be aired in China it can grant me access to that huge audience.

Also, the film would be released for streaming on streaming platforms such as Netflix and Hulu. this is because most of the audience i am targeting are on their phone all day, it can be said that their phone is attached to their body. Putting it on streaming service the same day the film premieres in theaters will open the film to people that can or don't want to have to got the movie theaters, making it so that people don't want to wait for the the Blu-Ray and DVD release. This would be learning from the mistake that Jigsaw did with lacking in focusing on the streaming aspect. Also by opening up to the film to more people on premiere night it would bring up a bigger revenue  the opening weekend. A month after the premiere the movie be released on home movie copies with extended scene, deleted scenes, and behind the scene extras to intrigue the audience. The film will remain in theater for the normal 90 day runtime.

Use Of Conventions

Conventions-      The project uses a variety of conventions but two are prominent. In the project, multiple mid shots were used primarily to help establish the shot and situation, but other than than that the majority of the shots are closeups. This was done both intentionally for two reasons one is due to limitation of  space on the location I was filming the project, but mostly it was one of the ways used to build suspense as it reduced what the audience can sees, putting them in the moment and leaves them clueless on what going to happen next. The second, convention heavily used is the the use of incidental music as it really helps to build atmosphere and suspense but helps with pacing. In the first edit of the film, i didn't have any incidental music and the film just dragged on because as in the parts with no dialogue it just dragged on. It's important to mention that a convention that I challenged in the project it instead of having long drawn out takes to ...

Quarter 3 Submission /Revisions

Image
Quarter 3 Submission   For my Quarter 3 Submission, all the revisions from the Revision/Feedback Post were completed. At first look, one may notice not much change. This was due to the minimal touch ups that were done. One of the main edits that where done where with the opening credits. The font color was changed to something brighter to make it more visible. this didn't work so i decided to add a black outline to the font to make it stand out from the image. The audio in the beginning when the radio it being turn up has been made to increase in volume to actually make it seem as if it was being turned up. One change  not mentioned that I quickly changed back after I altered it was to keep the letterbox bars. I kept them simply because I thought they were visually appealing. I know that to accomplish the letterbox effect all that need to be done is to change the resolution of the sequence but for some reason it wasn't letting it me do that to the footage I collected so I...

Feedback/Revision

Feedback/Revisons- From the screening of the first cut of the film, the response was overall very positive.Everything was conveyed the way it was suppose to, successfully obtaining the response of  horror (disgust) and a bit of stale comedy towards the end. All the feedback was very similar, in regarding to fixing up the audio. It wasn't that the audio wasn't clear, but that I implemented a way to consistent clicking noise  that was too prodomentiant as in loud making the radio affect loses it believability. This an easy fix as in the audio program I was using to create the effect ,Audacity; i can simplify reduce the frequency of the clicks lowering the overall decibels of the clicks drowning them down but still have them be hear to give the illusion of a cracking radio. Another problem with the audio is that when Scout reaches for radio to turn it up the audio doesn't get louder so this can be fixed in Premiere by setting a read and write of the audio when the Scout tur...
