Unit 4 Pre-Production

Unit 4 Pre-Production 

Pre-Production  

The reason why pre-production is important when making a movie is because the director and producers need to have a base idea set out, so they can have a vision of the movie that they'll be making. Using a storyboard is the best way for a director to have a general idea of what the movie would look like from a structured standpoint.

Other important parts of pre-production are location scouting, props, cast & crew, costumes etc. Location scouting is a major part of any movie production, this means that a movie needs to have locations to film in so that the movie will have a realistic feel to it. 

Props are another important and vital part of film production, literally every movie ever created has used props of some sort. These are important because it helps the audience understand the "story" of the movie and the surroundings of the set will look familiar. Cast & crew are the most crucial part of the whole movie making process because without them there would be no movie at all. The crew ranges from cameraman to script writer and everything else in between, without a script writer there would be no movie and the director wouldn't get an "image" of what the movie would be like the same goes for a cameraman if they aren't there nobody will be shooting the movie.

Finance products 

Zombie Hunter raised a total of $46,254 for additional funds that were needed after the budget set in place ($1,000,000) was not enough for the visual effects. These funds were raised through a kickstarter campaign to help improve the production team's desired budget. The film had its official premiere at the 2013 Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal, it was then released on home media on October 8th, 2013. 

Logistics 

When creating a short movie it's very important to know how much it will cost because you will need to think of this as a proper business and would want to cut costs so that you can have a better movie for cheaper. This is one of the most important parts of the pre-production of a movie because it could all go wrong if there isn't any money behind it. There are two important aspects of the costs for creating a short movie, the first is potential sources of finance (such as advertising, sponsorship, subscription fees, cover price, sales, rental charge). The second of these is the expenditure (covering such elements as equipment, materials, transport, costs, crew, personal, facility hire, clearances and legal costs).

Facilities 

Any creative media production will involve the use of production equipment and facilities to capture, record, edit and manipulate the raw materials into the finished product. Moving image, audio and photographic products will need equipment and perhaps studios to record and capture the sounds and images that you require. Computer hardware and software is now at the heart of the production and post-production processes that are 8sed to create all digital media products. Professional production companies will either use their own equipment and facilities or hire what they need for a specific production from facility houses. They might even outsource some of the work, such as post-production special effects, to a specialist company.

Codes of Practice

When looking over separate products it's important to include codes of practices so that people know the guidelines when making a short movie product so that the message isn't being taken the wrong way. For a short movie the codes and practices would be health and safety forms, for example a risk assessment. These are forms that get filled out before and after a movie has been filmed so that possible dangers of the workplace/filming locations are identified and taken care of so nothing goes wrong in terms of injuries. If these forms aren't filled out the actors might not want to work on the movie because they won't be protected by insurance if anything goes wrong.

Unit 6: Media Campaigns D

Evaluation of own media campaign

For my media campaign I decided to do it based on The Emoji Movie, but I built the whole campaign around making a sequel because I felt that it would be better to do a media campaign about something that already existed because I could get lots of research to help explain the points I was making. I also chose to do The Emoji Movie as a campaign because I thought it would be fun to write the article about the different awards they won (Razzises) and how they can fix the issues that a lot of people had with the first movie and who they can different for the second one.

Another reason why I chose to make my campaign about The Emoji Movie is because it's recent so it's fresh in the minds of the audience which will help me because the people that liked the first movie will be looking forward to the second.

For the design of my website that I created for this campaign was a bit hard to do because I looked through many different websites to see which one would be better and after looking I decided to choose Wix. That was because they have an built in website creator that you can use for free to create a website, this was still hard to do because I haven't created a website before but after a while I got used to it.

For the social media aspect it was difficult to think of things to do for it because I didn't have many ideas for what it would look like or how it would be viewed as far as social media pages go and how they are presented. The social media would need to be released at least 6 months before the rest of of the media because it will give fans plenty of time to get an understanding of what the movie will be about.

 The work on the side is the posters that will be used for my media campaign, I have created them in such a way that the audience would be able to recognise the font and also be able to recognise the movie just by looking at the logo. The way how my media links together is by the use of the images on my posters and the fonts that are used, this is done to help create a understanding for my audience so they know what the product and movie is about.


All of my media will have separate release dates, for example the social media will release about 6 or 7 months before everything else, then the posters will be released a few months before the movie is out so the audience can get a better understanding of what the movie will be about. After the social media and posters are made then the website will be made so people can browse through and get more information on my campaign and how it fits together.





















This is the flat-plan for the website design for my media campaign, this is the design that I'll use to set out my website.







This first screenshot shows how many people liked my campaign about The Emoji Movie 2, this shows me that half the people that filled out my questionnaire liked my whole campaign.

This second screenshot shows how many people thought my campaign worked well for getting the audience interested in The Emoji Movie 2, this also shows that half the people that filled this out thought my campaign worked well.

For this part of the questionnaire I asked people what they thought I did well for my campaign the best part of this was knowing that I did the article well and wouldn't need to change much about the way that they're written.

For this section of the questionnaire I asked what parts of my media campaign that could be improved and it was mostly the posters and social media that need improving.
