Journal: Lesson 9

In lesson 9 we first were given feedback on the pitches that we presented to the class. This was preparation before we had to pitch our film idea to the class. In the feedback we were given we had to write down aspects that make the perfect pitch. By using the information that we were given it will allow each member to improve the way they pitch and also things that need to be included. This information help us as a group as it could allow us to acknowledge things we missed out when producing our pitch. As a class we discussed our own opinion on things that we believed we could improve on as individuals when pitching to people.

Also in the lesson learnt about film distributor, I discovered that it is a film company responsible for the film being released. We had to create a spider diagram to show the things that a film distributor does for example they advertise the film to consumers. In addition they try to get the film into cinema so that they can make money. After we discovered what a distributor is we had to choose a new film that had not yet been released. On this we could work individually or in pairs. I work in a pair with Luke Shelley. We decided to choose the new Mission Impossible film starring Tom Cruise. Once we chose the film we had to answer a number of question in PowerPoint, these included who the distributor is?, why they distributed the film?, the target audience, cast, USP (unique selling point) and similar films. I found this interesting as I believe I have discovered thing about film distributors the films I learnt is how they aim there films at different target audience, how they get people to see the film.
