Pitch QnA

This is a video of me giving my pitch presentation to the class, i had a video in the background of my presentation and conducted my pitch according the what was being shown in the video. After my presentation i was asked questions by the teacher and pupils. I think the pitch went well, i had a good background video and knew what to say so it would fit in time with the video.

I believe that my pitch was successful as i got my idea across to the teacher and class and they understood what my idea was. My group like my idea and we have incorporated some of my ideas into our final idea. Overall i am happy with how the pitch went and looking forward to seeing how all our ideas joined together works out.

York Film Festival

I made the following notes at york film festival

Crossing creative platforms

• This is england started as a feature film, it made 1.8m. It won best british film and other awards.
• Warp are not moving away from film to tv. They have always done TV. This is enlgand went onto DVD. Warp have done more films than tv. 
• Up to 2010 the majority of their work was in film. 2.2m people watched the first this is england episode. This indicates that there is demand for tv. People didn't used to cross over from TV to film so when directors who used to work on tv changed to film people were sceptical if they could be a success.
• The technical elements of shooting between TV and Film are very similar. TV is often lower paid than Film work.

Cinematography

• The BBC have started to use film again. Lots of film is shot on 16mm. Lucas uses Digital and Spielberg  uses film. BBC didn't show films shot in 35mm. 
• Equipment isnt important, films are about the story. On a typical set there will be one wide, one medium and one small camera. Scripts important to make a smooth good film. 
• Film making is a collaboration, everyone has a job. 
• Breaking the code - generally you never film a woman on a 16mm because they will look distorted, always a 35mm.
• Film as much as you can - experience is key Ianthe industry
• The cinema is still important - want to feel the reaction of others around you, better than on netflix on your own, need to keep people coming to the cinema.
• Fuji film is good - ran technicolour out of business,
