Storyboard Process

 I know I have saying that some of the other parts have been confusing me but this one kind of did too lol. The work is technically confusing, I understand the instructions and everything but I just have a hard time of actually putting all of my thoughts into my final submission. For this part I started later that I had initially planned. Most of this is because I kept overthinking and back tracking to the script. I tried to say 'what if' and attempted to change around of the details and realized what I was doing was ridiculous and that is fine. 

But I do have to admit this isn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. When I heard the idea of a storyboard I immediately thought of just the scenes and the mise-en-scene of the film. As I researched and looked up examples of storyboards of popular films I began to realize that it was no where NEAR to what I was expecting. The thing that I found the most hilarious was that as I assumed I was finished and ready to submit, I began to see other storyboards with the dialogue. Which caused me to go BACK in and edit edit, edit!! This bothered me but not so much to where I wanted to give up completely. 

As we are about to enter the production stage, I think I will be extremely nervous and will not be sure of how to approach my opening. My opening is different from all of the others (I assume) and hopefully it doesn't cost me extra points for it. I am in a bit of situation where I do not anyone to portray the roles of my characters in my film opening. My plan is to first, before proceeding with anything, is to have a conversation with my teacher so that she can approve my idea for the production portion.

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.

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...
