Third Quarter Revisions 

     For my third quarter submission of my film, "The Real Deal", I made a number of revisions. These included improving my title sequence, improving the quality of the music in the film, and improving my camera work. 

Camera work 

     In my first submission, I was made aware that the camera could not be operated by one of the actors. In correcting this I purchased a mountable tripod for my phone which allowed me to film at many different angles without needing anyone to hold the camera. The phone mount also allowed me to get better shots in some cases like the scene where my character, Andrew, is in the car talking on the phone. In this scene I mounted my phone to the dashboard which showed my character from the front allowing the viewer to see facial expressions. 

Title Sequence 

     After doing the Art of the Title activity in class, I realized that my title sequence could be more creative. In the activity, I studied the title sequence for the film "Almost Famous". In this film the title and credits were written by one of the characters. In my film I had the title appear on a poster and the credits appear in various places such as on a receipt and on a sheet of music. 

Music 

     The music in my first submission was not as professional sounding as I had hoped. I re-recorded the music for my third quarter submission using a condenser microphone which gave the music a more clear sound.

Another marketing tactic used early on was interviews and TV show appearances with the lead actor Rami Malek talking about playing the character Freddie Mercury. Later on he made an appearance in character at Fox's CinemaCon. As things picked up other resources where used such as a deal with Wrangler creating a line of jeans inspired by the film. Also the band Queen, who was somewhat involved with the film as well, announced a reunion tour with Adam Lambert. Once the film had been in theaters for a while t...

"A Star is Born" opens by showing the Production company name with the sound of a crowd cheering in the background. Next the scene shows the main character backstage taking a handful of pills and walking on stage. The camera has a fish-eye effect to it to give the viewer the same intoxicated feeling that the main character is having. The band starts playing, he is playing the guitar. in the middle of the song the scene cuts to him entering the car with screaming fans behind him. The car rolls away and he starts drinking alcohol from the bottle as a ringing sound effect starts to build. This scene gives the feeling that the main character is exhausted from his life on the road. The film had a budget of 36 million dollars and a profit of 434.9 million dollars.
