Intertextuality
What is intertextuality?
- It is an idea that any text has been influenced and shaped by objects that have came before it.
- Therefore no film exists on its own – meaning they have borrowed ideas from different film.
- writers
- directors
- advertisers
- It does not always exist in film
- Limited to creativity
- Every media text is inspired by the world around them
- Sometimes people to not realize they have used intertextuality
Green screen plan
The use of the green screen in our film.We aim to use a green screen in our film to create the effect of a news report, focusing on the theme of bullying, this helps with the realism of the film and will create a strong effect and help the audience relate on a more personal levels.
How Does a Green Screen Work?
It does not have to be green. The technique can be done using any color, even colors which are outside of the spectrum of human vision (as long as you develop a camera that can pick it up). Green is used often because it's easiest for most modern cameras to pick up, giving the editor the cleanest possible image.
What is a Green screen.
Green screen refers to a technique used to make people look like they are somewhere they aren't. The primary subject is filmed against a plain background, which is normally either green or blue. The background is later replaced with the background of whichever place the subject needs to look like they have gone to.
Distribution
Film Distribution describes everything that happens in between production, during the making of the film. It involves all the deals done to get the film shown including it's promotion.
Other things that Distribution involves are:
Allowing legal rights for a film to be shown,
Releasing and Sustaining a film in the market place,
Marketing and releasing the film,
Making and distributing film prints/files to cinemas,
Making and distribution of DVD/Blue-ray to stores
The overall key concepts of film distributors are the big companies who control most of their industry, the distribution of their own products and of others.
Major US studios generally have their own distribution offices in all the major territories. However an Independent producer has to sell their films to different distributors in each territory. This is what we would have to do with our film 'Verses' because we are an Independent film production company.
Advantages of British films going to America and across the world are that America is a lot bigger than the UK, Americans and a number of countries around the world speak English and size of the audience for a film is mainly huge.
What are the issues for smaller distribution companies
There are lots of disadvantages and issues which smaller distribution companies have. Firstly they have to compete with much bigger distributors for bigger films. Being in the digital age, using new processing equipment and technology, bigger distributors can afford to produce more prints off the reel than smaller distributors, this is because they have a bigger budget. A small company producing a less commercial product cannot afford many prints so people that want to see the film often have to wait until their local independent cinema has a print.
