China Uprising

Hello again... wait never mind who even reads this :/
Today we will be talking about the great empire that will soon be taking over the world in no time. It is quite important to stay alert especially if you plan to be in a business like film. It seems like now every day in the news there is a new story about China. As a young filmmaker joining the business you should study other countries. You must know your market especially for such a huge place like China.

Now if you want to become an actor it might be natural to have some sort of estate in China now. This new uprising in film is worth watching. This can become the new Hollywood leaving us Los Angeles kids in the dust. So I leave you with the question are you willing to make the trip out to China in order to make your audience larger? It is becoming more common for films to have a higher success rate in China then USA. As an actor I would take up the opportunity to go to China but I could imagine that it would also cause many problems. Going from one side of the world to the other can be quite stressful and hard to juggle.

The new emerging China will have both its ups and downs. There is really no predicting what can happen from this point. It is bad for young filmmakers because they can't expand all the way overseas. Though for big budget filmmakers they are probably laughing all the way to the bank. They now have the challenge of both marketing for the US and China. Lucky for them if the film flops in the US they can always rely on China.
Thanks China. U R the bae <3

THE FUTURE

Hello my fellow lifeless followers who spend their free time roaming the internet. I have returned this week again to speak about the new California so called 4D theaters. This is great news for those people who are consumers. Though it also brings up problems with new filmmakers trying to join the industry. With everything being replaced so fast the industry will only get more and more competitive. It also brings up the question of what are you willing to do to make a film? Are you willing to get your true story out or just help the masses feel joy? On a consumer stand point I think this is absolutely wonderful. Now we get an even more amazing experience when we go to the movies. We are constantly looking for an escape and this is perfect! Though the interesting thing about the concept of these theaters is to see how fast will they catch on. Will people be willing to pay the extra cash for the experience? It is possible that Southern California may reject the concept of the theater. For now we will just have to wait and see. Stay tuned.

California Taxxxes

Ok my fellow homies today we will be discussing something that is not very interesting but worth mentioning. So read on if you like I honestly don't care...
"The loss of big budget pictures cost California $410 million in state and local tax revenue, 47,600 jobs and total economic output of $9.6 billion"


Now the rise of film taxes has started to become a bigger problem as the years go by. The reason why I bring this up is because there are many young filmmakers I know. It is important to regulate the tax because these people are currently living in LA. It's not so easy to shoot out of state even if it is a bit cheaper. With the power of film we can also help repair the state of California. The film industry is very vital to the state of California.

"The state film incentive program generated an 11% return on investment in its first three years and helped generate $4.3 billion in economic activity and 22,300  jobs"

Thanks China

Today we will be talking about the sudden rise of the box office in China. Now that China plays a huge role in the film industry do you think it is possible that Hollywood will direct more films to that audience? Will more Asian actors be in films? As a student director will you try and make your audience bigger or stick to your original vision. What matters to you box office numbers or the meaning of your film to the audience. Do you think that now we will see more Chinese films being produced? Possibly more Chinese directors will start to rise up in USA. Do you think that it is possible that China will take over the film industry? As a student director would you move out to China for box office numbers or better success rate?

LOOK OUT… (not really)

Today's article will be about the upcoming Academy Awards!!!! (not really that exciting)
If you are thinking about joining the film industry you may want to take notes! (not really)
-maybe a mental note-
In the past I talked about who the voters are but now I'm talking about how the voters choose the winners. There are very specific things that voters look for in order to determine the winners.
One voter says "I look for quality and originality, and how it moves me emotionally and as an artist"
So it is important if you are ever thinking about making it into the Oscars try to develop your very own voice. Take notes of opinion but ultimately do what makes you happy. At all costs get your own personal story across to the big screen.
If you're into acting or want to direct your actors well take this into note "I look for someone that doesn't have a lot of artifice," and also this "If a performance is great but the movie doesn't resonate, that will sometimes detract."

Blog #42557

Today's blog will about the challenges of making a documentary film. Also on how some people may interpret the films wrongly. The article basically talks about how violence can make a successful documentary film. Which I don't want to believe is try but I have noticed many of the documentaries people talk about have some element of violence. In general I prefer documentaries about education and health. Though as a director what do you believe is the key to making a documentary. In my opinion it doesn't matter what the subject is. As long as the person gets their message across to the viewer.

I think it's quite sad that documentary films are budgeted poorly. Most of them teach you very vital things in the world around us. As a consumer who would you like to have more of a budget, education films or entertainment films? It's interesting to read about such things like this because documentaries are very competitive. This will be a great challenge for upcoming filmmakers.
