Swede Review

Scream 4 sweded Review

To the younger generations of movie reviewers: Take the stick out of your ass before watching this movie! Thank you. 

Scream is Wes Craven territory. It's comedy-horror, it’s supposed to be twisted fun and that's what this is. Unlike the 3rd film, this didn't try to insult our intelligence with over-the-top gags and an overly serious ending. This film stayed very true to the first two films and yet, at the same time, did not feel like just another sequel. Having the ten years between really made this a one of a kind, intimate experience with these three unforgettable characters. The fear for their lives was as real as the first time we met Sidney, Gale and Dewey.

The entire films was and stayed tongue in cheek and for a sequel, it was just as refreshing as the original.

Hands down to directors like Sam Raimi, Robert Rodriquez and Wes Craven, for making horror movies fun! Also great for children.

The Film Industry 
Film is one of the biggest industries in the world, it is watched by the whole world. Hollywood is one of the biggest film Industries there is, most of the films we see on TV or go to watch at the cinema are most likely Hollywood productions .

Production - At this stage everything needed for the film is planned and designed. The director visualises the movie and the storyboard is created. Once the storyboard is created the production budget for the film is then decided, this budget is an estimation of how much will be used for each stage of the films making; production, distribution, marketing and exhibition. After the budget is decided upon the size of the crew is then determined – small production companies have a crew which consist of a small number of people (usually around 10), where as mainstream production companies (Hollywood) hire hundreds of workers and have a cast. After the storyboard, budget and crew members are resolved the film is then created and then the other stages begin 

Distribution - Distribution is when a movie is made available to watch by the audience. At this stage the rights for the film are sold to companies and also sold and made into DVD's, Blu-Ray's or a download. Then distributed to cinemas for the audience to go and see. Weeks after the films was released in the cinema, they then distribute the films as DVD's, Blu-Ray's or downloads

Marketing - Once a film is released,promotion of the film and advertisement are then created. Some examples of promotion are merchandise, prints , the internet and TV. A huge production company is also known as a conglomerate. Conglomerates would spend a massive amount of money on advertising and the promotion. The reason why is because the more money they spend on the film the more people will recognise the film and the more money they will overall receive as profit. The type of advertising the companies will use all depends on their target audience, for example if the film they are promoting is a kids film they mights release toys in happy meals(Mc Donald's children's menu).

Exhibition/Exchange - Once the film is created, advertised, promoted and watched. The rights are then sold to different companies so that the film can be streamed and then sold once again. The audience then has the choice in which they want to buy the film or not. Overall the exhibition is all about the companies making money off the audience watching the film but then there are complications such as; pirating
