Voice Overs

Today my group began recording our voice over segments, we had some difficulty with white noise in the background, but have since solved this problem. We had to re-record certain segments due to losing our way in the script/unintentionally making noise i.e banging the desk. Altogether I'm pleased with the recordings we got, they're quite strong performance wise in my opinion, and I enjoyed recording them.

Advertising In Style

This is a short teaser trailer my group put together in order to promote our film.

Marketing

We have created a Youtube account DrunkenElephant01 where we can post trailers, vlogs, behind the scenes extras and other projects. In order to hype up our media film, this will allow us to draw in an audience as they'll be more aware of our project. It also correspond with the smaller production company Drunken Elephant Productions, this will market the business to larger institutions, which could lead to the company being signed on for more projects.

An example of other companies who have used Youtube in order to promote their film and their company, is Triune Films, who use their Youtube show Film Riot in order to gain a fan

base.

Filming - The 2nd Sequence

After much delay, from things like weather, Christmas, New Year and forgetting the camera, my group attempted to film the school flashback scene of our coursework. However, due to younger pupils being on their lunch break, we couldn't film because of frequent interruptions.

Our Media Presentation

This is a short presentation where the group gives the initial ideas behind our film and a progress report.

Institutions

It's more likely to be produced by a smaller independent company like Marv Films for Kick-Ass and Big Talk Productions for Scott Pilgrim Vs The World (or our own Drunken Elephant Productions), but then we would look to a larger more established studio like Universal Studios as they have already supported films like "Kick-Ass" and "Scott Pilgrim Vs The World". In order to achieve global distribution and recognition.

The films have been marketed by pre-film trailers, by the cast and crew appearing on chat shows, posters, video game adaptations and merchandise like mugs and t-shirts. Both of the films have been distributed in cinemas and on DVD and Blu-ray.
