Making a Swede

To create a swede you first have to pick a movie; our group chose 'Freaky Friday'. We thought that this film would be really good as it had a lot of funny scenes that we could recreate. We also can use key props from the movie such as the fortune cookie that 'changes everything'. I think our group will be able to make a good swede; even without a budget.

Swede Trailers

A swede is a low budget remake of a popular film. It shows key moments from the film but is often very low quality and made using cheap materials. Below are examples of swedes of 'Speed' and 'Iron Man' which I found entertaining.

Production, Distribution, Marketing and Exhibition

There are different stages involved in making a film. The stages help the film industry to create a successful film. These stages are:

Production:
The first step in making a film is an idea. The idea can be inspired by anything or anyone and can be of any genre i.e. action. Someone needs to have good, solid idea for a movie in order for it to be developed into a script. After the script has been made financial support for the film has to be provided in order for it to be made. Then a location has to be decided on, a crew and cast have to be hired along with people who will supple food, trailers and other necessary provisions. A lot of people are involved in this process; the director, the unit production manager, the assistant director, the casting director and many others. They all play an important role. Finally, the film can be shot and edited to complete this stage.

Distribution:
Distribution is about how the film gets to the audience from the edit house. Film festivals are a good way for new talent to showcase their film to possible film distributors who could invest in the film. From there it can be released into cinemas, or put onto DVD or Blu-ray. If a film is to be released at cinemas it will most likely be released on a weekend as opposed to a weekday.

Marketing:

Marketing is all about promoting and advertising a film to attract an audience. . A film can be promoted in most areas of the media. An effective way of promoting a film is screening its trailer before a movie starts. It will usually only be shown before a movie of the same target audience so it appeals directly to them. The print media is also good at publicising a film by using billboards, bus advertisements and posters. To promote films aimed at a younger audience, toys of the characters from a film are usually put into happy meals to encourage children to convince their parents to see said film.

Exhibition:
Exhibition is the final stage. It focuses on how to get the audience get to see films. A lot of films can be viewed in 3D or 4D to immerse the audience in the film. It also prevents people from creating pirate copies of a film as it distorts the video and makes it impossible to illegally record at cinemas. Seeing a film on a wide screen, for example at the Odeon, also enhances the viewing experience for the audience.
Films are also available for people to see online. Websites such as Love Film and Netflix allow people to see a film legally rather than downloading illegal copies from the internet. However, films are also available to see online for free whether its using a free trial on Netflix or watching on a site that is completely free.

Making of a Swede

 A swede is a ridiculous, unfashionable, crass remake of a good movie and because the making of it is financially cheap, it just includes the key scenes from the movie, bad homemade props and silly quality of sounds.

My group and I want to make a swede of a movie called "Freaky Friday". We need use the right props, costumes, music and sounds. We haven't really all decided on all these together yet. On the other hand I still don't know what character I will act as yet. My group and I will however do everything we can to make this swede successful,good and funny.

Production:  Film production is all about the step by step way of making a film. It firstly starts with coming up with what the film is going to be about which goes by the name of the "ideas" people have about the film. Secondly the filmmaking involves the script writing then additionally casting follows which is basically the fact that filmmakers need to find people/ a crew to cast the film. This is really important because the director of the film need to find the right actors/ actresses suited for the roles he or she is  planning to give them. This will ensure high profit and success when talking how well the film will do. Furthermore there's the shooting process/filming which is just putting scenes together to create a film. After that, the editing and  screening comes in to complete the production before it gets advertised and released for people to see.

 

Distribution: This is basically just about how the films get from the edit house to the audience. In other words its all about the availability of a film for the public. Films are either distributed in cinemas, on the internet, on  DVDs and in film festivals.

 

Marketing: This  is the most important process of the movie industry. Its all about advertising and promoting movies. The more the movie gets promoted, the more likely you are going to make a profit out of it because a lot of people will spot the promoted/advertised film and will be more likely to pay to watch it due to for example their high interest in it because of the actors or actresses . People are aware of new movies through trailers, bus ads, food boxes e.g. happy meals, radios, billboards,  posters,  newspapers,  internets, social networks such as Facebook, twitter,  YouTube etc...

 

Exhibition: This is kind of similar to distribution however exhibition is how audiences get to see films. Nowadays a lot of people see films on the internet on film sites  such as lovefilm.com, 1channel, Netflix, YouTube etc. People watch films illegally online but they have to wait for a while after the film's release to watch it.  Films are also watched on DVDs which shows that even if people such teenagers, young  adults download/ watch films  illegally others still buy it before they watch it at home. To add to this cinema websites such as Odeon allows people to be aware of films so therefore others just pay to watch it in cinemas.
