How are films funded?


How are films funded?

Film name and fonts

All of the above are the initial ideas for my film trailer name. After looking at different names that you can see I decided to call it ‘Scratching the surface’ because it links well to my story line of a group of young children searching for their grandmas spirit under the surface but are faced with an un-invited character. The phrase ‘scratching the surface’ I found will be good with attracting my target audience because its like uncovering a mystery that is unknown and the consequences that will be faced along the way.
The film name on the left third down, I really liked this one when I was editing all of them I thought the effect was good because the words had dropped a little lower leaving a bit of a shadow above it. I loved the film name un-invited but I soon found out that there was already a film out with this name.

The film name that I would like to use for my film trailer is going to be the one in the top right hand corner. I feel this will be suited well to the point of my film and it looks really mysterious and with the scratches behind the text it looks really affective and I think will stand out to the audience. It could bring suspense to the audience because they will be wanting to find out what will be underneath the surface and what will it do to the characters.

Legal Responsibilities

Legal responsibilities

When making a film there are a variety of different legal responsibilities that need to be taken into consideration, this is so there can be no mistakes when in the process of film making that could disrupt it. One of the biggest responsibilities is plagiarism, not copying an existing original film is vital or following the storylines of TV programmes. Not only could this lose viewers because they have previously seen something the same but also the directors and production companies of that film/tv could sue you and lose money and possibly lower the reputation of the film before its even released.

Both for my film trailer and magazine, following on from my BBFC research I need to make sure that my age classification is under the right category that would appeal to my target audience. For example as my genre for the film is horror, there is possibility to be some blood and weapons that could come across offensive to the younger generation so finding the age classification that is suitable for who I wanted to read the magazine and watch the film is really important at this stage. If there were inappropriate images within the magazine and a child under the age of 13 for example brought it their parents could sue the company. 

Also with censorship I need to make sure that nothing harmful or sensitive that could offended any of my target audience or anyone reading my magazine or watching the film. This is why I have to be very careful who I promote them both. For this reason my target audience for both my film trailer and magazine will be 15 and above this is so the content within them wont be a problem to this age and they are at a suitable age to be involved with this type of media.
