1. What is a film distributor do?

A film distributor is either a company or an individual responsible for releasing films to the public either theatrically or for home viewing. A distributor may do this directly or through theatrical exhibitors and other sub-distributors.

2. Name three major film distributors and give examples of films they have distributed

First distributor is 20th Century Fox 
They have distributed recently "Crazy Heart" and "500 Days of Summer"
Second distributor is Artificial Eye
They have recently distributed "Certified Copy" and "Police Adjective"
Third distributor is Arts Alliance Media
They have recently distributed "Oil City Confidential" and "Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage"

3. Suggest a film distributor for your film and explain why they would distribute your film

Warner’s Bros I would use to be our film distributor as they our the distributor of the film "Orphan" and this film is a bit like our film and it was quite a popular film in the UK.

JellyBaby Shot

This shot is a wide shot. in this shot this girl has finished getting something out of her locker when this group of girls walk up to her and start bullying her. The credit in this shot is first actors name and what film they are starring in. 

In this shot it is a close up of the teacher. in this shot the teacher has seen them and comes along to tell them they have a detention for not being in lessons. The film credits is who the music is by.

This shot is over the shoulder shot. In the shot the girls attend detention and before the teacher comes along they are throwing paper at her. The credits in this shot is who the film is directed by.

In this shot it is a long shot. In the shot the teacher has come to take the detention and she is telling them that she dosen't tolerate bullying under any cirumstances, and then after dismisses them. The credit for this shot is the names of the other actors.

Title credits

When analysing the title credit for vertigo, i realise it is very different on how it is nowadays. Because it straight away it  said the the film company then after it went to the main actor and what they are starring in. This is different to the other one seven because it took a while to bring up the title. Also it said all the actors in one go, in the importance of how they are in the film.

When analysing the title credit for se7en again like the last one it started with  the film company and went on to show the director of the film so i think that they show the more important people who put the most effort into the film and star in the film at the beginning of the credits. Also they then repeat the directors name as he has basically made the film.

Premlim Task- Feedback

I learnt from the Premlim task that you have to make sure the camera is always focus on what is suppose to be happening, also the movement of the camera is very important because you have to make sure that the character is always the focus. 

Also I have learnt that in the editing you have to be careful that you have to cut the right things out and not the things that you want to keep, also you have to make sure that you add the right sound effects in the right place and add titles, by making them nice and effective to do with the storyline. 

I also learnt that the different shots are important because otherwise it will just be boring having the same shot. 

Titles Analysing

The first title: Adventure Time Opening
I like this one because it is very colourful it grabed by attention from the very beginning, the music was like an exciting tune that made you wanbt ot watch it. There was a lot of non-digetic sounds in the opening like random people talking when know one was there. The mise-en-scene was just basically cartoons, also there was birght and colourful lighting. I think the way it was put together was excellent especially with all the different cartoon characters made it look really interesting and like you actully want to sit down and watch it.  the framing was interesting as well as you have like a few characters in the frame and there was a lot of close-up shots and medium close ups.

The Second Title:  Dexter

I like this one becasue the use of Mise-en-scence is great the lighting was bright, colourful but at the same time dull showing the opening to be quite wired and unexpected, also the name of the title went from bright red to a darker red.  the props like the inset running up his arm at the beginning and the orange squeezing. Camerawork there was lots of extreme close ups and close ups and a medum shot of the man showing him for the first time. There was a lot of non-digetic sounds like the blood dripping becasue you could see it but you couldnt hear it and the inset running up his arm. (see it but cant hear it). there are many digectic sounds as well killing the inset, water running, shaving his face, eagg be cooked knife and fork scracting on the plate, orange being cut and squeezed. The sound effects situated the opening becasue it was wired and mysterious like what was happening in the opening.

The Thired Title: 25th Hour
The music was soft to open with, with light singing then it went on to become more like we were seeing paradise. At the beginning it started with a establilshing shot and move on to long shot and medium shot. It began with a sunny and nice day and then it became evening as the music went on when the music went on it really looked like everything great happens in the dark. I felt more interested as there was beauitful lights and it looked amazing, i actually felt part of the music and really wanted to carry on watching the rest of the film. The sound effect i think set the establishement of the film.

My Feedback from the Presentation "100 Days of Misery"

Make sure actor is as good as we want her to me.
Organsie the costume to make the actor look wired.
Not enough information, how to get all the school children
Who is going to do the make up.
http://prezi.com/wrpergsob-j8/film-opening-plan/

We have improved this becasue the actor we choose is doing all that we told her and is doing a great job anything we do not think is right with her we tell her and she works on it to improve it and performs an outstanding performance.

The make- up that we have decided to use is bright red lip stick and black eyeliner, we hopefully are going to edit her eyes to make her have red or blue eryes to show that this is a horror film and no school drama.

All the school children agree to do the play and hopefully it will be a success.

Conventions with video clips and images

Screaming- The purpose of screaming is to add a dramtic effect to to the film because you are able to understand the emotion and fear the character is going throught.

Violence- The purpose of violence is to show the reason why soemthing is happening because without it their would be no point in the film.

Blood- The purpose of blood is to make the violence look real and to make it look more like real life because this is what adds the effective and makes it look like a good film.

Bird Nosies- The purposes of these noise is to make the film seem creepy and like something oput of nowhere is about to jump out and scare us as the audience.

Young Children- The purpose of having young children in a horror film is to make the film seem like there is a lost of innocence and make us feel more scared because we dont like to see a young child being hurt so it would make us feel scared and sorry for the child unless they are evil themselves. 

Darkness and Daylight- The purpose of having a certain time of the day top set the film at is becasue when it is in darkness it makes us feel like something is to happen so you expected it whereas when it is in the daylight you dont really expected something to happen because during the day everything is suppose to be normal and not scarey and night is when things happen.
