Enemy of man questions

1. How much money were they asking for? $250,000
2. How much did they get? $255,564
3. How many backers were there? 2712
4. Who is the director and why is this important? Vincent Regan. This is important because in the past he used to be an actor, which shows his success from switching his job within the film industry.
5. How else is the project being funded? pre-sales, tax credits and Kickstarter.
6. What was the funding for? Taking the film into pre-production, which will allow them to create concept art, storyboards and scout locations and begin working on the costumes, set and so on. Money raised on Kickstarter will go straight into the production budget.
7. Why do you think this was successful in gaining funding? One of the reasons that they were successful in gaining the funding for the film is because they were offering rewards to those that pledged money. The more money donated, the better the rewards. For example, if you were to have pledged $25 - 34, the rewards were as follows: Film and digital bundle - Receive everything in the film and script reward and an exclusive digital book of artwork and postcards plus the soundtrack. All pledges at a higher level also received this.
8. What has happened since it was funded? Budget has been reduced as it became unfeasible to continue at the same finance level after Michael Fassbender's Macbeth was released.

What is Kickstarter and how can it help in pre production?

They are a global community that help artists, musicians, filmmakers, designers and other creators find the help they need to ensure that their ideas become a reality. There have been tens of thousands of big and small projects that have come to life with Kickstarter. They help people by providing tools to help people bring their creative projects to life, meaning that with this boost of help, those creators will essentially find the pre-production stage a lot less difficult.

Computer game brief question

How would you complete market research for this brief? One method of effective market research for this brief would be to use a questionnaire. This is because they are quick to design and send out to large samples of people, and when targeting kids, you should want to gain as many of their opinions as possible. They can also be distributed using a number of different ways. Another method of market research that you could use would be to use a focus group. This when the researcher asks a group of people relevant to the research question, and the group will then discuss it and share their opinions with each other while the researcher observes. The advantage is that you are able to generate extra data from the group interaction

Client brief homework

1. The first reason as to why clients write briefs is because it leads to better and more measurable work. This because the brief allows everything else to flow well, meaning that all work can be completed well and up to standard. Without a brief there is essentially no form of guidance as to what needs to be done at each stage. Furthermore, the client brief can also be considered a platform for a communications campaign. 2. The second reason to why client briefs are important is because it saves time and money. This is because it takes longer to find a solution to certain situations without direct instructions on how to do so, this will mean there is a delay on when this solution can be found. A written brief also ensures that there is more chance of getting it right first time, and it minimises wastefulness. 3. The final reason is because of fairer remuneration.  One of the criticisms that people face when marketing from their colleagues in finance and in the boardroom in ge...
