The 2011 Chicago International Film Celebration was a great success. It congregated lots of the leading movie producers worldwide and hundreds of devoted film goers. Two films that existed at this year's festival were "Vacations by the Sea" and "Chico & Rita." These films got blended reviews, particularly from me.
This was not the very first time I have had this feedback on the "Stash Spot" screenplay. I made a psychological note to return and really take a look at the thread in the script. Boom! When they asked me to visually explain a few of the scenes they liked I was cool with it. They handed me the script with their notes and I pitched as a director on how I visually saw the scenes being shown in the last cut. This is where it can get slippery. Financiers do not wish to throw money away. They desire you to be creative, however not to a point where you can't deliver a motion picture due to the fact that you're too anal.
Where this is leading me is that I can continue to utilize my movie equipment for as long as I want to establish my own movie, if necessary. The simplest by far to process is black and white, so when push comes to push, that's what I'll be shooting. With my scanners, I'll have the ability to convert the movies straight to digital without fretting about printing with an enlarger.
Promote your film shamelessly before you ever have anything in the can. Sell T T-shirts with your film logo designs and sell bumper stickers. Make a website and develop a fan base. Start a blog site and be just as edgy and out there as you can, however make certain that people have your film's name on their lips, no matter how good it is.
Before we start I want to reiterate the above rule since I can't stress it enough. You will never have the ability to PR something if it does say something worth saying.
It's not a surprise that specialists (like our workshop leader) have actually mostly deserted film, given the breakneck speed at which improvements in digital electronic camera resolution and color precision are taking location. Gone are the days of bring packs of Polaroid film and video camera backs for verification of direct exposure and lighting. Now, we just inspect the digital electronic camera's LCD screen and its pie chart, and make immediate adjustments.
Movie financiers will ride your ass unlike friend or family when it concerns when the motion picture will be done, sold and their cash paid. Do not get shaken older films or take it personally. Business world is not warm and fuzzy loaded with hugs and kisses.
