Welcome back! In this post I'm going to be talking about my most recent project in A Level. This is the Film Distribution Project.
In this project we worked with the creative writing classes at school to create a full length trailer, teaser trailer, key art, and marketing/distribution plan. The students in the creative writing classes gave us the outline of a film and us AICE Media students created the trailers and such. Of the four options my group we actually ended up choosing the story of someone who is also in our AICE media class. His concept was a thriller/horror movie where a bou who’s parents just died is attacked by creators that hunt the angered, these monsters are called Nighthawks.
The first thing my group did after choosing our prompt was do research on our genre which was thriller/horror. We researched A Quiet Place and It:Chapter One.
Next we created an outline of what we wanted our trailer to look like.
We were able to follow the basics of this outline but it definitely wasn’t the same as the final project.
Our next step as a group was creating our presentation, marketing, and distribution plan. We chose our film festivals and to release the film as a limited release in theaters and then go to wide release if it did well.
After the pre-production was done, we started filming. We filmed in two locations, my house and one of my group members’ house. We also got her brother to play our main character. After the first day of filming one of my group members had taken pictures of her door with a red led light illuminating behind it to represent the Nighthawks, she added the title and it ended up looking so cool. A slay if you ask me😌. One problem we had to overcome was how to depict the second main character of an old man. However, none of us know any old man that fit the description given to us, so we told our main actor to wear his dad’s shoes, a robe, and he used a foam Star Wars staff thingy as a makeshift cane. Filming that scene was hilarious we kept laughing in the background.
Working with my group was very fun and efficient, we got everything done in a timely manner and I believe our end product was great as well.
I’ll link our presentation below:
