Production analysis

The production part in media is the actual making and filming of the film. This is when the film has been given the go ahead and they can get deep into and concentrate purely on filming of the film. However it’s not this simple, there are in fact many different stages of production and different things to consider. It all begins with the producer, he gets everything together and organised, for example the cast, the idea, the development and the crew. Then in order to film the idea and the script must be good! then the package, this is where the screen play needs to be written, need to sort out the budget. Attracting investment this is where the producer meets other producers across the world, this is essential because without the investment the film will not be made. The planning is very important, they should make sure time is kept for the harder and longer scenes when shooting. Also the budget is very important, this is based on the investment and when they have this they need to draw up a financial plan showing how they are going to pay for everything. Above and below the line costs, above the line is the script, screen play, actors, producer, director and below the line is the designers. They also need to consider their audience so they need to consider the location and who will want to see the film. Finally the marketing, this costs more than making the film, they need to find a gap in the market for their film.

Possible target audience

We did a bit of background research and thinking and tried to build up a character profile of what people would want to come see our movie. We know (as teenagers ourselves) that action movies are popular with young people. They enjoy to go see them in groups or as young couples. An accurate age for a target audience would be 16-24 year olds. The older generation don't seem particularly interested in the Action genre.

Other films of the same genre that have been popular with the younger generation have included .

 

This is just a rough idea of what our potential target audience could watch.

Action Genre film distrubution company

This company could be a possible choice that would fit our genre and would be the best option to distrubute our film.
Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. (CPII) is an American film production and distribution studio. Columbia Pictures now forms part of the Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group, owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate Sony. It is one of the leading film studios in the world, a member of the so-called Big Six. It was one of the so-called Little Three among the eight major film studios of Hollywood's Golden Age.
The studio, founded in 1918 as Cohn-Brandt-Cohn Film Sales by brothers Jack and Harry Cohn and Joe Brandt, released its first feature film in August 1922. It adopted the Columbia Pictures name in 1924 and went public two years later. The name is derived from "Columbia", a national personification of the United States, which is used as the company's logo.
In its early years a minor player in Hollywood, Columbia began to grow in the late 1920s, spurred by a successful association with director Frank Capra.

Here are a list of films that columbia production company have distrubuted over this year alone. they have distrubuted almost thousands of films over the years starting in 1930.

Editing so far

We have been very busy editing and making sure our films looks slick and flows well. Thanks to the expert work of Dom Clarke and Roberto Pinto we have managed to get most of it done and therefore should be posting our film in the next few days. However here in the meantime is how the editing is looking. We will however be changing the first title scenes in the next day or so.

Email to confirm rights to use location

This is a print screen of the email we sent to the local business Olympus House to allow us to film on their property, we emailed last week. We also have informed our local police station about the kidnapping and the pretend gun being used, having explained that it is for educational purposes. They swiftly agreed and gave us the heads up to crack on with our filming. They are now alert what is going on and in what locations in case anybody from the public those see and feel threatened in any way.

Scripting

This is part of the scripting for our film opening. It shows who the speaker is and what they are going to say when we film the opening. there is not a massive amount of dialogue in our film opening, there is just enough to let the reader know what is going on. This is now complete and ready to be taken with us when we go out to film.This script will allow us to film easier as we will know what everyone is supposed to say and when to say it.
