Complications and Difficulties

 While drawing some certain shots of my film, some of them were not so difficult. Of course there are always challenges but at times there easier parts. I'm glad that the app I'm using has other tools such as different brush sizes, colors, and even rulers. I am not really the artist type but I have been trying really hard and I think it does show in my project. At some point while I was trying to draw the main characters and quickly realized that once again I'm not an artist. I know I keep repeating myself but it's the truth. Soon after I thought it was best to just pull an old school style and use stick people. Honestly I am kind of nervous about this decision because I know that is not really what is expected. But then again the idea of an animation is also not expected. I guess you can just say I'm going out on a few limbs here which just so happen to be working out just fine for me.


The difficulties I encountered I think were not as hard as I made them seem in my head. Some kinds of difficulties I had was not remembering what brush size I used. Because I will be working on my production for multiple days it is important I do not get caught up on things like this. Another difficulty was the movement. Obviously no opening has camera movement, but because everything is being drawn by hand it is not exactly how I envisioned it. On the other hand, I have been trying harder to make the movement look a little smooth but not as smooth as I would like lol. I have had many bumps in the road as it pertains to the production and editing of this film opening.

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...
