3rd Quarter Submission

Revision #3

When I was given feedback on my midterm submission, my teacher commented on the title of my film. He showed me that by placing the my title at the end of the clip, it made my film seem as tho it were a short film as opposed to the beginning of an actual movie. While editing together all of my new clips, I relocated the title to the very beginning of the scene.

I was also informed that when actor Danny Brown was introduced as the killer, it gave away the main plot of the scene before it even happened. I decided to alleviate this problem by removing the titles of the roles from the opening credits all together. The characters would simple be addressed to give credit to the actor who played them, and their roles would be given names later on in the film.

Revision #2

When showing my midterm submission to the class, it was pointed out to me that the original conversation between the two actors, Lucie and Avery, was somewhat hard to hear. When working on trying to raise the audio levels, I realized the conversation between the two was awkward and a little bit forced, and it did not quite fit the theme of the film. I rewrote the dialogue for this section of the film in order to convey Avery as very loving towards her girlfriend while Lucie is somewhat disinterested and even a little distracted. I then had the actors come back to the scene of the original shoot and recording the newly scripted scene, making sure to have them project so that it would be easier to hear in the final cut.

Revision #1

After our class watched my midterm submission, a fellow student pointed out to me that the kidnapper appears out of nowhere. There was no explanation in the film as to how he happened to be there. I decided that as one of my revisions, I should devote some scree time to explain this part of the scene. I had my actor, Danny Brown, come back to the original film location. I collected various shots of Danny sneaking around the location, approaching the place where he would commit his crime.

The classmate also pointed out that Danny had a getaway car that was not previously seen. I decided to ad some background to this as well by collecting a shot of him arriving at the scene.

Distribution Plan

After extensive research, I have developed a plan for the distribution of my movie. I would release the movie to theaters first and allow it to play there for a while. However, since the movie has no big name relations to it, it probably would not last as long making profit in theaters. Due to this, I would release the DVD of my film for sale about a month after the original theatrical release. I would also contract my film out to streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. That way I can spread awareness for the film and help it reach a wider audience that may not have taken the time to come see my film in theaters.
