1. Unit 40 AO1 production process
Pre – production
First thing you need to find when producing a phone is find a way to get
funding’s this can be from previous profits if there is any remaining you can also
get profits from partner company’s and company’s that one to make a profit also
donate a certain amount of money to make a profit others also donate money
such as the lottery and so on some company’s only donate £35,000 towards a
£50mil film but every little bit helps you can also take out loans. Once you have
acquired the funding’s you must hire a crew such as actors, backstage helpers,
producers, cameraman and editors you will also need to hire some back up
actors you need to make sure that the hired actors are the right people for the
job as certain scenes will have signs of blood etc. this could not be suitable for
certain actors. You will also have to find and if needed hire out a location and the
cost of sceneries. Their will also have to have script production plus all of the
make up artists for the special effects this will take extra time is one of the first
things that need sorting out this will also increase the cost all special effects also
come at a cost such as props like exploding cars, smashed glass and blood effects
and more. The actors will have to do loads of rehearsals/read through as the less
time they take reading the scripts the more cuts and retakes that will need to be
taken as the more mistakes that will be made. For the locations some scene will
need to be made this takes time these need painting and decorating these are
also made so they are moveable so they don’t need remaking each scene.
Production
This part is when the crew and cast are all brought together at the chosen
location where the film will be shot and scenery will be put together. Depending
on the scenery and weather the film will not be shot in chronological order, as
the weather will affect the scenery. This also depends on weather the shot are
being recorded in or out doors. Indoors the weather is not a problem and can
easily be worked around as the lighting in the studio can be changed. Some
locations do depend on the weather though and can also need to be filmed out of
order as certain out door scenes are needed.
Post- production
One of the most important things of post production is editing this involves a lot
of time and patience as this is a time conserving job the editors job consists of
taking all the bet shots and putting them all to gather in sequence for the movie
this also includes adding all of the after effects and the and the voice over for the
mistakes made. Sound mix also need making for the film, as these are all of the
soundtracks for the film these are then imported in to the film by the editor. It is
also the editor’s job to add certain effects this can also be done by the special
effects cast that make the blood effects and more.
Marketing
Trailer
In the trailer of the worlds end they show some of the comedy scenes this really
catches peoples eyes and really get people interested in the film they make the
trailer smart as they use the right amount of comedy and action scenes from the
2. film another to make people wont to see it but not enough that it runes the whole
film they also show a certain scene such as the fens that was nocked down when
Simon pegg jumps on to it this is also shown in two other films that have the
same actor Simon pegg this is purposely put into the film as it catches peoples
attention as it shows that the film focuses on him and that he’s the main actor.
Websites
They also show banners of the films that are advertised before and after release
such as the worlds end they use websites as every one uses the internet it is also
a fast and easy way of catching peoples attention they make the banners/ads
very unique as people will see that their has been a lot of time and effort to make
the film look good this really promotes the film as people are eager to see it. This
is also free for most sites and is an easy way to advertise when people click on
the ads this means that the company who uploaded the ads make money for
people accessing them this means that they are making money that is used
towards the film.
Billboards
Billboards are a good way of advertisement as they are really big and stand out
they are also very detailed as they are mostly bright and have bright big bold text
that also stands out but try and keep the text as gloomy as possible as the image
should stand out more than the text as you wont people to focus on the film
instead of the date billboards are seen mostly in big city’s and seen mostly by
people who go out a lot and people who drive cars as they are commonly found
on the side of big building the people who use the billboards make money for the
time that the billboard is up as they are advertising the film for the film industry.
Posters
Posters are advertised in places such as city’s and shops as these are the most
commonly crowded arrears and get noticed a lot this makes people interested in
the film due to the light colour and the HD picturing it also has bold text saying
when the film is released and what the film is called this is done to make sure
that people come to see the film making more money as more people wont to see
it as when they see the detail put into the posters they know that a lot of hard
work has gone into the film.
Press junkets/ red carpet event
This includes a mouse people who have acted in many films this gets the film
noticed as some audience watch certain films with certain actors some of these
actors have won bafta awards and won Oscars at the red carpet meaning that
they are very well noticed actors the more of these well known actors that are in
one film the more people that will wont to watch it as some of the audience are
big fans of the actors.
3. Chat Shows
Chat shows are normally used to show of the actor and speak to them to find out
from them about the film and how it is acting in the film but in the chat shows
they normally show a trailer of the film this is kind of like a marketing technique
as it is shown to others watching the chat shows.
The reason marketing is important to a movie is because you need to be able to
get people interested in the film before they even see it and get it noticed as you
won’t as many people to see it as possible as you need people to watch it to make
a profit to either expand their business or even make another film production
this getting them more money and some company’s even loan money to other
film production company’s then any money that is made they get so much back
also helping them make a profit.
