2. In the lecture we heard about technological innovations that were used by the studios to lure audiences.
What was told in yesterdays lecture was that the technological innovations that were used to make people come back to the cinemas was that people got for instance a 2 for 1 ticket to the films that were going at the time; they got one big hit movie and a B movie as well.
The 3D glasses were another innovation that was used to get more people to come to the cinemas and it came already in 1952, which is a long time ago. They took the 3D glasses away because the movies at that time was not in the same quality as they are today, so it was not that big of an experience.. But today, a lot of movies are not the same without those glasses. 2010 is also said to be one of the biggest years when it comes to 3D. The one thing that comes again when it comes to 3D top movies is animated or partial animated like Alice in wonderland, Toy story 2 and Step Up 3D.
One of the reasons i think the business is luring is back to the movies is to that we actually pay for what we see, that we don’t download every movie we urge to see, but we actually buy a ticket to see the movie in real cinema style. And therefore making sure that the big studios can continue to produce big hits in the future. Other different ways that is used to lure is to release a trailer before on the net, so we can get excited and maby pre-order our ticket for the film. Or you can download the sound theme for the movie as a ringtone.
3. Are short films still beeing made?Who pays for them to be made?
Short films is a facinating things that ha developed a long way from the 1985 when it all started and people had never seen emotion picture on a screen, to where we are today. today there is several short movies out on specially the net, that is a easy way to reach out the audience in a almost free way. The short films that you actually see on the TV screen is for example those that are produced as scary campaignes. In most cases it is the government or insurance companies that pay short film producers to make these film. Especially insurance companies order films that make a " wanted" impression on you. Take for instance this comercial for seatbealt use.
4.The term viral is thrown about adhoc but what does it mean in film/movie arena? Give some examples.
The term viral in the movie world means that for instance a movie get instant attentions over night, that a short film for instance is spread a cross the internett like fire in dry grass. A very good example for this is the hilarious short film parody on Star Wars/ COPS
5. Online video distribution isn't limited to the short film format. We are now starting to see television styled shows made solely for internet release (webisodes).
A really good example of shows made entirely for the internet is the show mady by the genius guys behind Awesometown.
