Business of Film – RadioDevelopment hell- when a film or project remains in development without progressing to production.
Two-Step Theory- audience decide, based on opinions and reviews, whether a piece of entertainment (such as games, music and videos) are good or not.
From the radio programme, I found out that a blacklist is created whenever a script isn’t created, an actor fails, or a director and musician fail. I also found out, that when a production company is on the look-out for cast, they make an image of the character and send it out to audience – they can do this by social networking and advertisements. Then based on the given image of the character, a cast is selected. Financial issues are also a key issue to casting. How much the actor will get paid is also a thing that a film company relies on.
Also, development in film process is very important. ‘Under the Skin’, distributed by Film 4, made 13 years in development.
Additionally, I learnt a bit about Polygram. Polygram is a German company for music and film (mainly music) which was brought out by Seagram and then brought out by Universal. It was founded in the year 1980. The most successful film where; Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), Dead Man Walking (1995) and Fargo (1996).
