American Influence

1: It was made so cinematographers from around the world could go there to find out about all of Sony’s latest products and cameras that are used in the rising UK film industry. Pinewood has created lots of courses and classes to help up and coming filmographers to achieve success, these courses not only provide theory lessons but also have a lot of hands on experience with the newest top of the range Sony equipment available.

                                   

2: This could majorly benefit the British film industry because it teaches and inspires a lot of new students and adults to take part in film making. This also helps the British film industry because the better equipment the industry has and the better people know how to use them then the programmers will also get better.

3: This is the first open facility of its kind.

4: There were 17 films that were shot by the Sony CineAlta F65. This information was gathered from: https://shotonwhat.com/cameras/sony-f65-camera

5: Blockbuster has lost a lot of sales due to VOD. being able to watch movies online for free rather then paying to rent.

self representation.

I think that I belong in the 'Alt' group. this is because  listen to different music then the majority and dress with a different fashion. I listen to more hardcore and punk music.

Taylor Momsen is one celebrity figure that i would identify with. This is because I love her music and inspire from her style. I use pictures of her to get inspiration for outfits.

Andy Biersack is another musician that i like. The reason for this is because he and his band 'Back veil brides' make really inspirational music and his quote 'stand for what you believe in even if it means standing alone' is something that I live to.

Film production

Development - This is simply the process of 'finding' a story. Ideas for films come from a variety of sources, they can range from novels, real life events to computer game adaptations. Once you've got an idea you'll need someone to write a pitch for you which you take to a film producer in an attempt to get some funding to make your film. Even at this very early stage you need a very clear idea of who you're aiming you film at so you can include elements that will appeal to them.
Pre-production - Once you've got funding you establish your budget and can begin to get a film crew together, you can storyboard the script. You also need break the script down into individual scenes and identify all the locations, props, cast members, costumes, special effects and visual effects needed.
Production - This is simply the process of 'making' the film. Provided you've done your job properly in the pre-production stage making the film should be straight forward. 'Film' is very expensive and difficult to store so an increasing number of film makers are using digital cameras to save money.
Post-production - During this stage you take all the 'film' you've shot and give it to a film editor. They will then begin putting it together. Special effects will be added, a soundtrack will be added, any missing dialogue will be re-recorded and added resulting in a 'rough cut'. This will be shown to the director and a test audience who will offer feedback. Often this causes scenes to be filmed and added or removed.
