    Why Do Cuts Work? ell, the fact is that Apocalypse Now, as well as W every other theatrical film (except perhaps Hitchcock's Rope 3 ), is made up of many different pieces of film joined together into a mosaic of im­ ages. The mysterious part of it, though, is that the joining of those pieces-the "cut" in American termi­ nology 4-actually does seem to work, even though it represents a total and instantaneous displacement of one field of vision with another, a displacement that sometimes also entails a jump forward or backward in time as well as space. It works; but it could easily have been otherwise, since nothing in our day-to-day experience seems to prepare us for such a thing. Instead, from the moment we get up in the morning until we close our eyes at night, the visual reality we perceive is a continuous 3 A film composed of only ten shots, each ten minutes long, invis­ ibly joined together, so that the impression is of a complete lack of editing. 4 I was aware, talking to an Australian audience, of the bias inherent in our respective languages.

  • A Producer's Handbook
    DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER CHALLENGES A PRODUCER’S HANDBOOK by Kathy Avrich-Johnson Edited by Daphne Park Rehdner Summer 2002 Introduction and Disclaimer This handbook addresses business issues and considerations related to certain aspects of the production process, namely development and the acquisition of rights, producer relationships and low budget production. There is no neat title that encompasses these topics but what ties them together is that they are all areas that present particular challenges to emerging producers. In the course of researching this book, the issues that came up repeatedly are those that arise at the earlier stages of the production process or at the earlier stages of the producer’s career. If not properly addressed these will be certain to bite you in the end. There is more discussion of various considerations than in Canadian Production Finance: A Producer’s Handbook due to the nature of the topics. I have sought not to replicate any of the material covered in that book. What I have sought to provide is practical guidance through some tricky territory. There are often as many different agreements and approaches to many of the topics discussed as there are producers and no two productions are the same. The content of this handbook is designed for informational purposes only. It is by no means a comprehensive statement of available options, information, resources or alternatives related to Canadian development and production. The content does not purport to provide legal or accounting advice and must not be construed as doing so. The information contained in this handbook is not intended to substitute for informed, specific professional advice.

Abstract This is a practice-based dissertation that talks about Cinema in the Digital Age: New Financing and Distribution Models. To explore this topic I have researched books, articles, speeches and movies of relevant authors; I have also interviewed filmmakers and entrepreneurs related to these new models of cinema financing and distribution in the digital age. In addition I have used my own experience as a creator to produce a meta-documentary that complements this thesis. The dissertation is divided into four parts. The first one is an introduction where I explain how the digital revolution is changing the filmmaking. The second one is focused on a new finance model attached to digital media: crowdfunding. The third part talks about the digital distribution model exploring if it could break down the Hollywood distribution and exhibition system.
