process of a film
1. all films start with an idea. wherever the film comes from it is then the producer who decides to make this idea into a reality. a writer then defines the idea, plot and the main characters.he then writes a one page description of the main story.then a pitch is made to show off the idea to financiers so that they commision a script.
2. funding. the producer can offer the future sales and broadcast rights to a production company in return for money to fund the script. the producer can also apply to a public funding body such as the uk film concil for a devolopment grant, or private investors.
3. script devolpment. first the writer prouces a synopsis on the key scenes and events of the film. once everyone is happy with the final script it is locked off and becomes a final draft. then the wrighter gets paid.
4. packaging means deciding how they will film the film. one common way to make the prodject well known is to attach well know stars to the script. to turn a profit the producer will have to know how much the entire film will cost to produce.
5. shooting the film. they will often shoot the same scene sevral times so that the director can decide at wich angle they will shoot from to make it a more affestive scene in the film. for instance if it is a climax scene of the film the director will often have it filmed multiple times so that they can get the mood/atmoshpere perfect.
6. marketing is how they will advertise there film to make sure that lots of people go to see it and they turn a profit. there are many methods in wich to advertise a film, one of the more succesfull ways is to gradually leak information about a film so as to keep peopl instersted (like cloverfeild) althoughe some films prefer to advertise there film for what it is straght away and keep a specific audiance tuned in.

about me
1. Ichose to do media because i hope it will help get me into the film industry in which i wish to be a camera man.
2. I am also taking maths, drama and phychology, hoping that these will get me a place in uni.
3. My favourite band is slipknot because i have allways been into heavy metal. I think this is because of the atmoshere it brings when everyone is together rocking out. Also i think the fact that i am a drummer myself acts becasue i can look up to Joey (drummer for slipknot) because he is extremely talented and one the 'drummer of the decade' award.
4. My favourite tv shows are family guy, south park and the inbetweeners. This is because the crude humor and ubsurdness of it all appeals to me. Also i find that i can relate to the characters in the inbetweeners due to them being in sixthform.
5.My favourite is pulp fiction because it has guns, girls and drugs as well as a vey unique storie line that follows sevral different peoples adventures. also i find Quintin Tarantinos ways of directing very intresting, for instance he will often set his films out in chapters and tends to skip backwards and forwards in time a lot. Also each characters individual story line all tend to come together at the end of the film to create the full picture.It has a lot of great actors such as Bruce Willis, Samuel l Jackson, John Travolta.
I dont really read magazines apart from the occasional xbox official one so i can keep up to date on what new types of games are comming out as i am quite an keen gamer myself. I also spend quite a bit of time the internet looking on 420chan and facebook because i also like to keep up to date on what my friends are doing.
