Putting Everything Together!!

During this process, the form of technology I used was FlipaClip. It is a popular animation app that is used y most artists who enjoy to draw and animate. I used this source of technology because it was my next best option. I downloaded almost every animation app in the App Store until I came across this one. I checked out the reviews online, found tutorials on YouTube and tested it out for myself. Once I did all of that, I knew it was one the technologies that would be very useful for me.

While using FlipaClip I learned that nothing ever comes as easy as it may seem. When I first started out, I was doing great until I played it back. It was playing back and it went by in two seconds. After trying to figure where I went wrong I realized that it was based on the amount of flips per second (fps). It all started to make sense soon after and things started to get better for me. 

I used so many YouTube tutorials I lost count. I can't even say they were a waste of time because they weren't. They were extremely beneficial to the overall contribution to the project and played a huge role in it. The tutorials took me step by step on how to complete whatever it is that I needed. 

The typical conventions of titling in my genre is sort of a classic, old-timey theme. Meaning the basic conventions for my drama would be a white font which is not so huge but at the same time not small either. For the sake of this project I chose not to challenge them but to follow the traditional conventions. I have watched many openings to romantic dramas, which is my genre, they all sort of have the same pattern which make them easy to identify.

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...
