Made with Visme Presentation Maker
1) Film Distribution
When I searched up how Hollywood major distribute a movie I could see how I could replicate that with my budget, for example I could use digital posters on social media such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook etc. Each of theses platforms reaches different target audiences. Film website, have film cards were it has the social media account, phone, contact number, details.
2) Independent films distribution
Independent films like 'Bait' distribute their films by going to film festivals in London to try get a screening at the BFI. They also use Film post cards to make people more aware of it and become more familiar with it.
American Horror Story: Freak Show
Each season of AHS is conceived as a self- miniseries, with a different set of characters and setting. some plot elements of each season are loosely inspired by true events. It opened with red curtains opening as if you were entering a circus and it shows a miniature version of a circus. In the background the music is sharp, fast and unsettling. It then shows a moving Merri-Go round which then glitches and starts spinning faster and quickly shows shadows on the ceiling of the tent. It does a hard shot to show the shadow of a ferris- wheel on a truck from the circus which then cuts to show a wonky camera angle of the backs of the trucks. A baby doll then peeks behind the side of the truck. It does another hard cut to a close up of a long, orange ballon getting pumped up by a clown. It's put in fast motion how he is making something out of it and has a loud squeaking of the balloon getting manipulated into place. It then quickly shows the clown pop the balloon with a knife. It shows a disfigured skeleton on a bicycle with the main characters name. It cuts to an unsteady moving camera showing the skeleton of the Simees Twins. It then shows a half bull half human toy trying to walk with another actors name. The camera cuts to an old and broken spinning clowns head, the theme tune to AHS then gets added in with the music that was already playing. It cuts to a toy man in a wheel chair with enlarged legs and two male toys walking one stilts in the background. It then shows a toy with two head on a spinning table getting thrown knives at with another actors name. It then shows a rusted man toy with disfigured hands and feet sitting on a wooden box. It then glitches to a mid shot with a name of an actor. The camera cuts back to the spinning clown head but this time the clown looks evil. It cuts quickly to show clown figurines moving their heads and cuts back to the clown with is now spinning very quickly and then cuts back to the figurine spinning its' head as well. It shows the walls of the tent and the shadows which makes it seem almost abandoned. The camera does a hard cut to a scratched up, evil looking circus monkey toy that looks up to the camera. It cuts to show the figurine turning its' head to look at the camera under one of the trucks. It then shows a creepy clown head riding the roller coasters and then cuts to a toy with nails all over him nailing nails into his nose and showing the name of an actor. The camera cuts to show another actor and a clown skeleton with two bodies dancing and it then cuts to a female toy putting swords down her throat and showing another actor. The camera does a tracking shot of a female clown with three legs and when it reaches to her face she quickly turns and looks at the camera. Then it shows another spinning clown head with another actors name. The camera goes back to a close up of the clown making the balloon figures and suddenly hears a pop and moves on to a spinning toy clown with a red balloon staring at the camera which then cuts to show a deformed doll babies in a cage with blood and taking off their heads. A circus male toy on stilts, drags the name of the series which then cuts to a women with two heads. The last thing the audience sees is the evil circus monkeys' face and then it blacks out and the music comes to an end.
The Conjuring (2013)
The Conjuring fits in with the theme of our film opening because we are doing paranormal/ supernatural based opening, horror. https://www.artofthetitle.com/title/the-conjuring/
The opening of the trailer shows two old, black and white pictures of a family called The Parron family. Through out the trailer it has a suspenseful violin music in the background which adds to the creepiness feel to it. It slowly fades to show a picture of the Warren family. How it is formated makes it seem like something might have happened to those families and it will intrigue the audience to want to know what happened. It fades to a dark black and white picture of a house with the directors name. It the shows an edited moving newspaper that looks old and it has who it is written by and it shows a hand turning the page and showing the producers and a picture of Ed and Lorraine Warren doing a talk. The hand turns the page again to show the executive producers. Whispers begin in the background as the hand clumsily gets the newspaper in place to show the director of photography. Bells start going off as if someone walked into a shop and it then shows the production designer. The hand then places it which shows who it was edited by. Then the pages start flicking though showing a man called Patrick Wilson and it flicks again to show a picture of a lady called Vera Farmiga. The sides of the newspaper blacks out to transition to show a family picture with the name Ron Livingston. The hand then takes the paper and tap it against the table to make the newspaper ordered; he then puts it down to reveal another family and the name Lili Taylor. It turns the page to show more of the actors names and then the next page he turns to is a grave yard which then church bells start ringing in the background; it shows more of the actors names. It starts to have more creepy pictures and after a few pages it shows production company "A New Line Cinema presents" with crow noises in the background. It does a small jump scare of the doll Annabelle and flicks the page to show "A Safran Company/ Evergreen Media Group presents". A loud voice of a women singing comes on. It shows a picture of everyone at the table doing an exorcism and shows "A James Wan film". It flicks to a view of the back of the house and then the name of the movie, The Conjuring, flicks on and then suddenly everything blacks out and the music dies down quickly.
