Technology and Equipment

For the purpose of this film project, the technology that I will be using will be quite limited. I don't have access to a real life camera or even a GoPro camera. That being said I am only limited to using my cellphone. I really think that using my cellphone would be quite the challenge but then again I would like to say my phone has a great camera quality. But it doesn't really matter what kind of quality my phone has because I will not technically be using the camera. As I mentioned in previous posts, I don't have anyone to act in my film. As a result to this, I decided to turn my project into an animation. The app I will be using for this animation will be FlipaClip. 


So far, with quite the research I have done I have learned a lot about production technologies. Having no access to a camera is a bit difficult for me. Honestly I truly believe that I can find some sort of way to complete this project. As for lighting, I know how to maneuver the app in order to get the effect that I wish to get. Whether it is that I want to establish some sort of lowkey lighting or even a fade in/out. But I am sort of nervous especially because it is an animation and it is not what is technically expected when first thought of this film project.

When it comes down to how exactly to use the app chosen for my project, I found a tutorial on YouTube. First I watched an animation tutorial on the CeeSaw channel it showed me step by step how to work within the app. For extra purposes I watched another video from Garvit Bhatnagar , with this channel they have made multiple animations using FlipaClip which was really helpful.

Production

 Before I start to talk about everything in regards to production, I have to start from the beginning and define the basic terms. Also I want to note that there will be a second part to the production stage.  Starting with defining the terms production, studio, representation, and streotype. Production is the process of or financial/administrative management involving the creation of a film/movie. A studio is basically a room where the production company uses to record television, make films, etc. The portrayal of someone/something in a particular way is known as representation. A stereotype is essentially a fixed idea of a person or thing. A common question asked about movies is what category they fall in. By category I mean are they either a business, art or apart of entertainment. It is sort of obvious on why and how people make the common mistake of not knowing. What most people don't understand is that film (or movies) are apart of an industry, by this a better explanatio...

Distribution

Distribution is the way in which something is shared out among a group or spread over an area. The promotion (also referred to as distribution) of company's film to the general public is the known job that a distribution company handles. Marketing is something in regards to the specific types of activities a company does to facilitate the sale of a product/service. A business may use a variety of techniques to promote their new film in any way possible. One example of said marketing ideas is merchandising. Merchandising is where a company sells its branded items in order to gain more promotion for the specific film. A company may also use a film festival or even cross promotion. This is basically another type of marketing idea in which the promotion of a similar product is directed at the customers of another product.  An innumerable amount things happens during the distribution stage of a film. These said may range from producer getting the legal rights in order to film a story to...

Script

This was probably the start of where things started to get really stressful for me. From having to research every bit of information to making sure that I have is down to detail.  For research specifically, it wasn't really much considering the fact that I was provided with many examples. I basically just looked over the past blogs and what certain approach they decided to take. Alongside with this, I searched up the average scripts for romantic dramas considering the fact that it is the drama that I decided to choose.  When actually sitting down and typing away as I wrote the script for my film project, I realized that it wasn't as bad as I though it was going to be. Even way before we started the project I was reviewing over the pace chart and I said to myself "yep. that is exactly where I'm going to be caught up and stuck on." I have a hard time asking for help and I tend to overthink a lot. So when I actually started to plan out how I wanted this to work out i...
