researching swedes

 
this is silimar to our swede as they both start with a threatening phone call which gets the victim uneasy and filled with fear. the main things that the actual film 'scream' shows is fear, suspense and death. this swede shows all of this and this is what we aimed to show also.
in our swede our mise en scene made the scene seem much more realistic as a real mask was used with a cloak (the original outfit of the scream character in the fim) and also we used a mobile phone instead of a telephone as its unlikely a telephone would be in a class room.
this is a good swede of the film as it shows fear, suspense and death which was the main themes of the film.
 
 
"Sweded Films are amateur recreations of famous films using limited resources and technology. The films are typically much shorter in length than their originals and use shoe-string budget props to mimic the source material."

normally the budget and low quality of a swede makes it quite funny but as we didnt want our swede to be seen as a comedy but taken seriously we tried not to look too budget.


My contribution to my groups swede

I made several contributions to the swede. one of these contributions were planning the scene that was filmed. another was actually acting in the swede, i played the masked villain that was out to kill. all members of the group made a contribution in how the scene was filmed eg camera shots. when it came to editing, the group used final cut pro and most editing was done by myself, and music added by Joe, Korima and Lydia did make small contributions in this area. when it came to the marketing of our swede, again we all played a part, me creating radio ads and radio interviews which then went onto the Internet.

production,distribution,marketing and exhibition

Production
There are several stages to producing a film. Firstly before production a writer needs to have a idea and them turn this into a story. After this he needs someone to produce the film. This involves scriptwriting, this is turning the story into scripts. Casting which is choosing people to be in the movie. Actually shooting the film then editing of the film and then screening the finished product.

Distribution
A distributor must be confident in a film and its  abilities to be successful, helps if you have a good producer. After having this confidence, then the distributor  makes a deal based on two financial models: leasing and profit sharing. After the deal is made the distributor plans a strategy for opening the movie and can then go on to distributing the movie on VHS, DVD, cable and CD sound tracks.

Marketing
This is advertising and enables people to be aware of the upcoming film. This includes :
  • trailers
  • poster campaign
  • slide shows at the movies
  • Internet
  • newspapers
  • merchandising
Exhibition
This is getting the film out to the public, most commonly a film is first released into the cinemas, this is called a premier, films in the cinemas can be seen in 3D or 2D. A film can also be shown in other places, not only the cinemas, it can also be made into a DVD after it has been in a cinemas for a while. Movies can also be seen on the cinemas sometimes illegally.
