Research notes for film making video

Investors and Grants notes.

  • Investing is when you contribute money to a project in hope to gain a larger profit in return if that project is successful. 
  • This often happens with films.
  • Investing in films is often a good idea because many will be successful.
  • After researching online I have managed to find a business that help you invest your money into films 

1)

The companys is in fact called “Film investments” and they encourage one particular method of film investment, with their purpose being to help you do so. 
  • They offer 25 years of Royalty payments
  • The chance to be a Film Extra and attend VIP events.
  • The chance to have your name in the film credits.

2) We are UK films brings together the Uks film national and regional agencies, producers and sales companies under one umbrella to provide clear information about their locations, services, films and talent. 

 One of the case studies under We Are UK film is the film "Skyfall" which comes under their "Film London" Sector. It was the 23rd Bond film and was filmed at a number of iconic London landmarks such as Vauxhall bridge and Charing Cross Station as well as filming in other cities such as Shanghai. Film London helped to support the filming of this because it required a lot of work to be able to use these locations, and they had to gain permission from various people or organisations.

3)

The second website that I researched is called CreativeeuropeUK. They are the european unions programme to support the cultural, creative and audiovisual sectors. 

From the start of 2014 to 2020, €1.46 billion is available to support european projects with the potential to travel, reach new audiences and encourage skill sharing and development. 

It was launched in 2014 and brings together a culture-sub programme that provides funding for the cultural and creative sectors, and a media-sub programme, which invests in film, television, new media and games.

From 2014- 2016, Creative Europe funded 283 UK cultural organisations and audiovisual companies as well as the cinema distribution of 115 uk films in other european countries, with grants totalling €57 million. 

 Case study: One of the projects in which they funded was a film called "Bacalaureat (Graduation)". It is a Romanian language drama film that is set in a small town. The film is about a doctor who takes matters into his own hands when an attack on his daughter ruins her scholarship to a great British university.

    You've got some good notes here, but you need to provide some more specific detail. What did you find out about Film 4/BBC etc? What projects have benefitted from their investments?

    Also you need to put the links of each website into this post so that you can refer back to them during your revision stage. Be sure you have all the research from the rest of your group.

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

Project management

What is project management? Objectives Maintenance Organising Managing your project into sections to achieve the objectives set out to finish your end project. Project management is the effective planning and running of a project, from the ideas point to the end product and evaluation. Planning requires an outline of the tasks, deadlines and milestones that will be required to manage the project efficiently.

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...
