CASE STUDY BY ELI

                                    

History/Target Audience 

So our class is doing a case study about a movie in our genre (Crime thriller). Crime thriller first started hitting America in the mid 90's around 1930s-1950s. But it first really emerged in the 1920s. Crime thrillers targeted people who had a interest in breath taking mysteries that last the whole movie. People enjoy having to guest who's the bad guy and who's right or wrong. Crime thrillers are good movies for people who likes to think what's going to happen instead of being able to know what might happened.

Production

Movie production is one of the key parts of the movie, The raw footage and other elements of the film are recorded during the film shoot, including principal photography is production. In the movie I picked " Patriots Day" the production was a important part to learning the film. In the movie Patriots Day the production companies that helped film the movie was CBS films, Hutch Parker Entertainment, Closest to the hole, Leverage Entertainment, and Blue grass films all helped film this movie. The one I'll prefer to pick out of these is CBS films because I don't know. It just feels like the right choice. But if I was to pick a movie production company, I would choose a larger movie production company but I would also fall back on some more smaller ones too. The reason is because some on the larger production companies are really expensive and if the movie doesn't hit we'll be in debt. But its not so bad to deal with smaller production companies because there prices are more reasonable. Production companies can also affect the audiences reaction too. There are also production companies that focus on certain genres and work on those. So production can help make the genre's message show more. Like comedy, horror, or more. But this is really all talk. Before I can even think about looking for a production family I'll have to develop a film proposal and make negotiations with the company. I'll have to find investors and then convince them to get a revenue. I'll have to do a lot to convince them but all I really have to do is make them believe that my movie is worth watching. 

Distribution

Distribution is on of the vital parts for giving back the money you loaned from the Companies. By having your movies sell at movie theaters, making merchandise like how star wars have lightsabers and stuff, or having your movie on streaming services. You can make millions of dollars by the months go buy. You'll be able to pay all your debt off and have money to build your company. Production companies that specialized in crime thrillers is CBS Films, Regency Enterprises, and more. But I think that we should use CBS films for our film. Manly because i know of some of there work like movie wise and I enjoy some of the movies that they made. My film will be exhibited in movie theaters and streaming services like HBO Max. This is because it would be easier for people watch the film at home on streaming services and if you want to watch my movie online then you can watch at a Movie Theater. Then our company can make money at theaters and on streamin

g services. 

Marketing 

Marketing is a way to get movies out there. In the movie "Patriots Day" they used trailers and teasers to get there film out. So, the way I would market my film is by showing trailers but like multiple. I'll start off with a trailer that doesn't really show a lot to get people into the movie. Then I'll upload another trailer with more things of the movie and then I'll upload the teaser like of the opening scene to then make the audience really interested on what is going on. 

Cross media convergence

In the movie Patriots Day they had their movie be on newspapers and on social media which I think its pretty smart. So, in my movie I'll have my movie on social media like Facebook or Twitter to get more recognition from my movie.
