The film industry

The BFI http://www.bfi.org.uk/about/  is probably one of the more straight forward ways in which film makers can access funding.  Finding distributors can be found through various means,more readily available is the use of the Internet.
The current project I'm working on falls under the horror genre and in an ideal world, Paramount Pictures would best distribute my film because looking at their past productions in that category such as the hit horror franchise Friday the 13th, it was well  received.
It has spawned numerous remakes and has a current world revenue of $465,239,523 from movies alone. This is besides the gross revenue produced from merchandise and literature stemming from the movies.

Horror movie presentation/opinions from peers!

This is a link to Me and Faban's Prezi presentation about our horror movie opening:

Me and my partner Faban did a presentation on Prezi about our horror movie opening. We included the plot of the movie, the setting, the characters, the sounds that will be used and a clip from YouTube. The whole class seemed to enjoy the clip as they had never seen it before and it was scary and funny too!
this is the clip from YouTube we used, its from a show called scare tactics, based in America :

This is the clip that we wanted to show the class, but we didn't have enough time, me and Faban got a bit of an idea for our horror film from this clip:

After our Presentation we got to listen to our peer's opinions on our horror movie opening. We had a lot of comments about making it a bit more scary even though our teacher thought our idea was good because it is only the opening of the movie of the whole film. Overall I think that the comments were good because they helped us know what to improve as they are like an audience!

The Green Screen Effect!

Today we had a man come in to introduce us to green screening and how to use a green screen while editing. I found this really fun and interesting as we got to try out by shooting a small video and editing it while using the green screen!
My group decided to do a titanic theme and I found our acting really professional.
The other groups also made amazing videos which were really funny. From this lesson I learnt that when shooting a video on green screen, you have to make sure that the background colour is not too bright or the same colour as your clothes! this is why my teeth are blue.Overall I had a great time learning how to do green screening and might consider putting it in my horror movie opening as it would bring something different to the video.

Check out the video, might be better than the actual movie!

Survey findings

In my survey I found out that mainly girls like horror movies and they prefer to watch them with their friends.
also it gave me a picture of what my horror/thriller movie opening should look like and what the young people that I am aiming my film towards would like to see in their scary movies.

When I made my survey, I tried to include all points and was exited to find out what kind of horror/thriller movies people like and what they would like to see.

The only thing that I found hard was getting people to do my questionnaire and logging into the survey monkey website.
