2072: Social Media

When it comes to Marketing the film, social media may be the best way of spreading hype about your particular film. For example to bring up Deadpool again, as it is a superhero targeted for an older audience. So all the social media pages related to deadpool are full of smut and occasionally swearing. This is also marketed as if deadpool is a real person controlling everything, as it is written in his typical, rude, manor. This really helps advertise the film as it gives the fans "hype". In fact they use this popularity of the character to have synergy and convergence with other products and companies. Recently deadpool teamed up with 'Ballboy' to creat a 1:13 minute long video instructing men how to check themselves for testicular cancer. This is a perfect way of spreading awareness for two things in a great way that appeals the a wide number of people. https://youtu.be/KsdD1MJXOpk

I created a Facebook page and a Twitter account for 2072. Both pages give exclusive content and Q&As to get the audience involved with the film to create this 'Hype'. It's also a way of marketing other things by that production company to an audience by saying, "If you liked ..... You'll love ......."
I'm trying to get more likes and more followers to really get the film out there so people can support and view the movie.

2072: Original Song

 While attending a Festival last year I watched a performance by a band called, 'Nanking'.
Having been quite impressed by their songs I managed to sneak backstage and get to talk with them. I asked if they would write me an original song for this film, luckily they were really nice guys and accepted. Finally, you can get to listen to it here: Cumbersnatch
I'm very pleased with this song as it just has a very awesome ring to it, and the fact they wrote it just for 2072 makes it even better!

2072: Theory's and Practices

While creating 2072 I developed a theory that swiftly turned into a practice. While reviewing the story of 2072 I came to a realisation it was simply parts of different films put together to form a new film. I call this the Frankenstein's Monster Theory, because it's lots of things sown together and bought to life much like that of the classic horror icon. For example in 2072 it is heavily inspired by Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, Frank Miller's Sin City, and James Cameron's the Terminator. It is also loosely inspired of the novel 1984 by George Orwell. Using this formula you can create new and exciting film ideas, which is helpful in a market place witch is becoming saturated due to the lack of new ideas. It's not just me that uses this but you can apply this theory to any film out at the moment, (considering it's not a biopic or remake). Take 10 Cloverfeild Lane for example. It's a mix between Cloverfeild, The Hateful Eight, Saw, and Psycho. Im not saying it's a bad thing, quite the opposite. I thinks it's amazing when thes films get weaved together because it makes something new altogether.

272: Interview With Actors

Rick White | Empire:

I: Rick, pleasure to be here with you.
R: You too Mike
I: So tell me what's it like working on 2072?
R: Well y'know there's a vaguely serious atmosphere on set a lot of the actors including myself use the technique of method acting when approaching roles such as this.
I: How do you method act 2 roles?
R: Well we filmed all the scenes with Alistair Barnes first so prepped for that first, I than had about a week after to become Shawcross, this definitely was one of the more difficult films I've done in my career.
I: Certainly sounds it, Rick. Who was your favourite person to work with on set?
R: Emma and I got on really well. I'd love to say I was the one who created the social events with the cast and crew outside of filming but that'd be a lie because Emma really love to throw a party now and then. But yeah all the cast were just great and really fun to work with. Working with Christoph was incredable because you really feel his charisma and put heart into his role. It's just a great time really.
I: What was it like working with a first time director?
R: Working with Sam? He's a great guy. Considering it was his first job I gotta give the guy credit cause working with us who addmitidly don't pay attention all the time is tough, and he approached the situation very professionally and always kept a smile on his face.
I: Okey finally question, What's your favourite character out of Aistair and Shawcross?
R: Aw man that's a tricky one....hmm...I guess it'd have to be Shawcross, simply because I love to play the villain.
I: Ha ha absolutely., Rick White thank you very much.
R: Thank you.

I: Ok so Lastly, Rick. What do you like most about this project
R: I just love this whole universe it creates. Watching it back and being a part of it, you really get sucked into it. And with a world like we have today it's good to take your mind of reality and disappear in a good flick.
I: Rick thank you so much for being with us today.
R: Thank you, Anne. anyday

2072: Soundtrack

A soundtrack to any film is important, let alone an indie film. It adds to the atmosphere, and makes scenes 10X more dramatic. Take a film like 'Django Unchained' for example. The soundtrack is a mix of modern R&B and old county rock/blues. And an original score by Ennio Moriconne. Although being set in the 1850s the modern sounds really adds to the "awe" and "excitement" of the scenes. http://youtu.be/QbmDpEhAp48
For my soundtrack I would include:
-The Lautspechter - Ester
-Blade Runner blues - Vangalis
-Blade Runner end theme - Vangalis
-Hellraiser - Mötorhead
-Sweet Little Sister - Skid Row
-Snoke - John Williams
-Without You - Nilson
-Walking In My Shoes - Depeche Mode
-Rebal Rebal - David Bowie
This soundtrack is a mix of existing film soundtracks and pop/rock hits. This is an example of "The Frankenstein's Monster" film, as it is a mix of different films cut apart and sown back together to create something completely different. But I'll talk more about that in detail later.
