Research on distribution

According to BFI Screen Online by David Sin:


Distribution, the third part of the film supply chain, is often referred to as 'the invisible art', a process known only to those within the industry, barely written about and almost imperceptible to everyone else.


Distribution is about releasing and sustaining films in the market place. In the practice of Hollywood and other forms of industrial cinema, the phases of production, distribution and exhibition operate most effectively when 'vertically integrated', where the three stages are seen as part of the same larger process, under the control of one company. 


In the UK, distribution is very much focused on marketing and sustaining a global product in a local market.

Sound Recording- New Technology

I used Logic 9 from the process of constructing the product. in my music tech lesson, I have been learning how to use Logic 9 to make my own music, but for media, it is totally different. In last week's lesson, we recorded Karen screaming and then we used Logic 9 to add in different effects in order to make our sound clip eerie and spooky.

Here's our sound clip:

Risk assesment

This lesson we created a risk assesment sheet. In doing this out group are able to asses and overcome risks of our various film locations. By following this, our group is able to be safer considering some of our scenes are quite hazardous for example a tall builing, water etc

Working on title sequence

I also worked on the title sequence for the movie. I have crated a short, simple animation for the title that fits it quite well. I added the fading effect which suits our title: 'Faded' and it creates suspense. It has been added to the sequence.

Facebook and Youtube

So we realised that the Internet helps distributors to advertise their films and raises awareness among audiences at a very early stage, even before the film is done.
So in today's lesson, we focused on how we were going to promote our movie opening in the future. We created a Facebook page where fans would be able to see the latest screen shots/trailers etc from the movie, and a YouTube account which we could host the videos on before posting them to the Facebook page.

Risk assessment

From our filming secession, we realised risks are involver, so in today's lesson, we made our risk assessment. We named all the risk that could be involved and wrote down solution for each accident that could happen.
