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 it was sort of a struggle for me. Lots of pens and pencils were used, lots of papers being torn out of notebooks and lots of just giving up at some point. After I finally got encouraged I sat in a quiet environment and just jotted down notes of what I wanted to be portrayed in the film opening. I sort of knew what direction I wanted to go and then I started to overthink which led me to worry even more thinking I wouldn't be able to make the deadline. I finally created up with multiple drafts, which I assume is normal for the average screenwriter of any production company, and then as I began to fill in the areas of the template I realized some of the things that I initially wanted to do wouldn't exactly work our for me. So you guessed it, back to square one... or so I thought. I saw that I actually did not have to change my entire opening but just to make a few adjustments. 


I wanted to add a little bit of a sneak peak but at the same time not reveal so much!

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 explanation wou

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.
