Swede Research

Swede films are usually parodies of blockbusters or any other films made into a short films. Swedes are mainly made for the purpose of entertainment of the audience who has seen the original film and knows the characters, as the swede is made in a jokey way the audience finds the parody humorous. The swedes are usually of thrillers, horrors or drama films and made into comedies. Swedes can be made by fans or the film or to mock the original film. Here is an example of a swede of The Hunger Games.


Swedes are sometimes to take away all the tension in that movies. To make the scenes that everyone thought were serious and built with tension, sound silly and removes all the tension that the original movie has built.

Film Production, Distribution and Exhibition

Production 
Film Production is when a film or video is shot. The person mainly responsible for production of the film is called a Producer. The producer is not the only one who works on the film's production. Common staff are
photographer, script supervisor, picture editor, sound editor, assistant director etc. Each scene that people take every day is taken while another scene is being prepared, so the production part of film-making is quite wild and busy. The assistant director informs everyone that a take is going to be recorded. A camera operator is the one that shoots the scenes while listening to the director's orders. There is quite a lot of teamwork in production and in film-making in general.

Distribution
Distribution is the final stage of film-making. It is when the film is released in cinemas or directly to DVDs, Blu-rays etc or direct download from a provider. Posters and advertisements are being posted at that stage to promote the coming out of the film. In major films the people who made the film or starred in it are asked to participate in promotional tours and interviews to get a wider range of audience and awareness that the movie is officially out. The largest productions may require more than one promotional tour, in order to gather audiences from different countries or cities. Here is an example of the Hunger Games Premiere which is a part of distribution of the film.


Exhibition 
The exhibition of the film is slightly different to Production or Distribution. It is when the film industry gathers an audience to show the film to and provides it for free mainly for research purposes and also provides popcorn and drinks for them. The film industry would give the audience a survey in the end of the film to give their critical analysis of the film and their likes and dislikes and what could be improved. It is for the purpose of knowing what the target audience actually wants to see on the big screen and which ones would even like to see it again and buy it.
