Distribution Research: Get Out

Get Out has the same genre as my film, thriller/horror, and a similar target audience, young people (14-23). When distributing their film, Get Out used Blu-Ray, Youtube Movies, Google Play, iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, and Vudu. By streaming their movie through these sites like iTunes, Get Out is advertising to a younger crowd as they stream more than watching movies in a theater. Also, Get Out is allowing people to watch their film anywhere by using their smartphone, iPad, and laptop. Get Out also used Blu-Ray as the movie is providing it's viewers with a higher resolution version of their film with faster playback and internet connectivity. I will utilize streaming through Amazon Prime, Youtube Movies, and iTunes to advertise to my target audience, young people, and to allow people to watch my movie in the comfort of their home, on the road, in a plane, etc. I will also use Blu-Ray to distribute The Neighbor as it allows people to watch my film in high quality and it makes my film scarier as the high resolution will make the frightening scenes even more scary.

Film Project Genre Research Would You Rather

Image
The movie Would You Rather is a thriller and horror film. The first two minutes of the film shows a young woman coming back to her hometown because her brother got into an accident. While she is at home, she is taking care of her brother and applying for a job at a restaurant. The shots established throughout the beginning of the film are a two shot showing the young woman applying for a job with the restaurant manager, a long shot showing the whole restaurant with the woman in the middle of it, and a mid-shot showing the young woman's upper body. There are fade outs in the transitioning of scenes and the music is very intense and creepy making the viewer feel a sense of fear. The opening credits in the beginning of the film are staggered between the scenes of the woman in the restaurant, displaying the production companies they worked with, like IFC Films. The film Would You Rather' s budget and profit is unknown and the film has been nominated for the Fright Meter Award.

Project Selection-Film

The other AICE Media Studies project, the film project, is a group assignment where your team produces a maximum two minute original film. During the first quarter of AICE Media Studies, we learned about journalism and film production. We watched a few different styles of film production, ranging from All the President's Men to Ferris Bueller's Day Off. All the President's Men is an example of more basic filmmaking.  Ferris Bueller's Day Off   was a new type of film in the mid 1980's since Matthew Broderick, the actor of Ferris Bueller, was talking to the audience which was a new concept at the time. I possess the skill of being very creative and I enjoy taking risks. I am also very passionate when it comes to creative writing and it is more entertaining to write than non-fiction. One struggle I might have with the film project is that I am not a very good at actor and I am camera-shy.
