Just Stop

Today I'm switching things up
I have no article
Mainly because I want to address something important and also there was no good articles. Most of the articles I could of covered would of just sounded like repetition of all my previous posts.
Unless you would like to read about how Tom Cruise was casted in some boring film that you're not going to watch unless it goes on Netflix.

Though let us move on to the topic.
Now this topic isn't really for film students but more just for the future ahead.
It's the topic of having a brand and a series of films. Hollywood is big on just resurrecting old ideas and films.
They just drag them on for miles squeezing out every last penny.
It is a quite a sad thing to see but people still go and spend money to see the film. It's a constant cycle that some of you future filmmakers may get wrapped up in. Now though every once in a while they actually resurrect the franchise beautifully.
Like for example the last batman trilogy and the recent X Men film.
I had lost hope in X Men films but this last one brought together good action with good story. So ask yourself what will you lean towards?
Are you trying to create that wow factor or a gripping storyline?
It's not always easy to do both so prepare yourself for what is to come

What is your opinion on Hollywood films? Should they keep the series going or just let them die in peace? Do you like to see the same stories you're comfortable with or introduced to something unique and confusing?

Cannes 2014:

Welcome back readers!
I've decided today I will be nice and get straight to the topic.
Now I bring up the Cannes festival because it might be some thing that us student filmmakers might 
be interested in entering. Now there is plenty of film festivals to enter but the Cannes festival is like 
the grandest of them all. It is definitely an honor to have one of your films selected and even chosen
as the winner. This article and post is mainly for the student filmmaker who is more ambitious and
into the art side. If you are truly poetic and passionate for film looking into the Cannes festival may
be something of great interest for you. Now the reason I bring it up is because now the competiton
has gotten a lot stronger.

So as a student filmmaker what techniques will you use in order to win or be entered in the festival?
Basically what can you bring to the table and what makes you as a director unique? These are things
you should already be thinking about for when you want to set out for your future career in film. 13 out
of the 19 directors at Cannes have been previously nominated. Which means the chances for a new
director are very slim. So it is important to stay on top of your game and discover new innovative 
ways of creating and expanding film.

no snappy or creative title

Hello again and welcome to my boring blog story. Honestly I feel sorry for anyone who has to read this. Though enough of making jokes about my 5 readers. Today we will be talking about the subject of death.
¡BEWARE!

Not just any death! The death of prized actors! Now this has been a problematic thing for many Hollywood films and just in general.

As a student filmmaker what do you do if one of your actors is no longer available? Do you continue the film and alter the story? Do you completely abandon the film and show respect towards the actor?
In the film industry we are given hard decisions sometimes. Though for big budget films they can always resort to CGI. For us small time filmmaker we don't have that opportunity. Though in the end the point of this post is to ask about your morals. Ask yourself what would be right in that situation. Prepare yourself for real scenarios in the film industry.
