Evaluation Part 3 : by Jordan Porter - Technologies, Production & Distribution

Production

How did we use Technology in our Production?

As a group, our entire rough cut opening sequence was all done with the iMac’s software ‘iMovie’ we found this very restricted and very a basic software which didn't allow us to add certain transitions or effects we would've liked, In addition- the titles seemed very basic and lacked inspiration, the software didn't have anything unique enough to appeal to our genre of choice.



Therefore, for our final copy we completely switched over to using industry standard software Adobe Premiere pro & after Effects, they offered unique titles which appealed specifically to our genre.



Nonetheless, we further used Photoshop for creating DVD covers, as well as Garage Band to create a unique contrapuntal soundtrack, to create mystery and uncertainty within our opening sequence.

Distribution

Who will distribute our Product?



Due to the recent controversy surrounding the BFI, we had to look for more unique, bright ways we could find to distribute our product. We looked no further than Curzon Cinema which allows customers to stream movies on the day of their theatrical release. We feel that everything is run through the Internet in the modern age and this a unique way of distributing our product in a way that still appeals to Internet-friendly users, without them maybe illegally downloading the film, as Curzon is available for films in HD at a low price of £4.
We swayed towards Curzon because of its brilliant features for example merging with leading UK film distribution group Artificial Eye, offering over three hundred films, therefore our film is in good company, as well as planning to offer film premieres online.



There are also brilliant events scheduled by companies such as FilmLondon; who showcase film festivals as well as screenings with Q&A's, who can exhibit our film.

Film Noir Conventions

This was our sub-genre to thriller. Here contains the key conventions we used within our sequence, for example the use of Black & white as well as;

Private eye



Hard lighting



Femme Fatale
