Budget

The film was made on a very tight budget, with Rebecca and her team using whatever resources they had to get it made. As well as relying on the support of local businesses and cafes during shooting, Honeytrap was partially crowd-funded through the site Indiegogo. “People went out of their way to help us, and for that I’m very grateful,” says Rebecca.

Rebecca biggest challenge: ''The film was made on a tiny budget, so there were many challenges in that. Honeytrap wasn’t really a story that really fit on a micro-budget scale, i.e., three characters in one location. It had a multitude of characters and many locations, plus several big set pieces: the murder, the bus ride, big crowd scenes, fight scenes, and so on.''

Synergy.
Their was no interaction between the Bright House Studios and another company. This is because it was on a micro budget movie. However it was an official selection for the BFI film festival.


Since it is an independent film on a low budget it is only being screen in cinemas. No information is out as to whether the film will be released on to DVD.

However it is available at cinemas  in HD and is currently being showed 
at the British Film Festival

Promotion

COMICON.

"I think anybody... who would have said that this would make a great main movie would have been laughed off. It's such an unlikely thing to do. So I think it's lovely to work on something and expose its potential to the point where a company like Marvel will say, 'Yes, this makes sense.'"

—Dan Abnett, co-writer of the 2008 Guardians of the Galaxy relaunch, on the project(COMICON)

Along with panels, seminars, and workshops with comic book professionals, there the preview trailer was shown here too.

User Reviews

 'The best superhero movie I've ever seen'

'I know, I know. This will incontrovertibly attract a lot of hate from die-hard Dark Knight fans, but guess what? I'm one of those who thinks Nolan is the epitome of how to make a perfect superhero spectacle. '

'This film will blow your mind. Quite literally, it is jam-packed with edge-of-your-seat action thrills and pure comedic gold. Don't be expecting a moody companion piece like that of Nolan's trilogy, or Man of Steel. It keeps more in touch with Avengers, although it's a lot funnier and really builds upon the upcoming Infinity Gauntlet arc. '

'The actors are incredible, matching the character developments, the dialogue and action sequences are spectacular and the visual effects should surely earn a nod come Oscar time, as I'd personally put them on par with those seen in the recent Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. The run length compliments the well-scripted pacing of the movie itself, whilst plenty of interesting secondary characters litter Guardians with an ensemble cast that has exceeded anything yet seen in the Marvel/DC movie worlds. I don't pertain to the DC versus Marvel argument, but this masterpiece alone has certainly put Marvel on the front foot in terms of cinema outings, far surpassing the very enjoyable Man of Steel and, I believe, edging out Nolan's trilogy and then some. '

'I thoroughly recommend this for any with a borderline sci-fi/superhero love, and advise you to remain for the tantalising post-credits scene, although many of the non-comic fans might not get the references.

'Easily a perfect ten out of ten for me.'

My personal experience

I went to see this film during the summer at Westfield cinema in 3D and i can surely say that it was the best film ive seen in my life! It was so engaging  funny though it was a bit rude in terms of language so it puzzles me why Marvel advertise this film for children. Despite this it was a really funny and intresting film that deserves an Oscar not only for acting but for visual effects beacause ironically the special effects and CGI were out of this world! 

USE OF CGI

It’s no secret that James Gunn used a live raccoon on set in order to help animators accurately capture the motion and behaviors of a raccoon for their CGI model; however, Gunn spoke to the magazine Small Furry Pets and revealed that – as you may have guessed – working with a real animal is probably the most difficult way you could go -Screen rant.com
James Gunn
''We needed a raccoon to study how he looked and his behavior, so that our on-screen raccoon, which is generated through CGI will be realistic. Our Rocket is based on a combination of our voice actor, Bradley Cooper, our on-set actor, my brother Sean Gunn, the movements and behavior and look of Oreo [the raccoon], as well as my own animation.”''

Also the Special effects makeup designer David White took head and body casts of actors, such as Bautista, to experiment with materials used to create the characters. White said, "James always pushed for practical and makeup effects. He wanted, like me, to see the real deal there on set! How exciting!




This concludes my post :)

 

Film Chain

      Superstar producers include

Here are a few film studios that produce the best and biggest films we know today :).

Kevin Tsujihara owns Warner brothers

Joe Brandt, Jack Cohn, Harry Cohn are the founders of Columbia Pictures

Brad Grey owns Paramount pictures

Depending on who owns which studio,diffrent films are made within them.For example Warner Brothers can make big budget films as they have the funding for it where as Fox searchlight pictures cant make massive big budget 


Indie films...
'An independent film is a professional film production resulting in a feature film that is produced mostly or completely outside of the major film studio system'. So realistically this means an indie film!  An indie film made with the directors rules,with his location,his set and not the studios set.

What is film distribution? 

Film distribution is the process of making a movie to be seen by an  audience. This is normally the task of a professional film distributor, who would determine the marketing strategy for the film, the media by which a film is to be exhibited or made available for viewing, and who may organise for when the film is to be released and by what type of media it is released by.

When a film is initially produced, a feature film is often shown to audiences in a movie theater.

The film may be exhibited directly to the public either through a movie theater or television

Nowadays films are distributed via Sky TV or online streaming such as netflix

What is a film festival?

A film festival is an organised, extended presentation of films in one or more cinemas or screening venues, usually in a single city or region. 

Marketing

Sometimes called the press junket or film junket, film marketing is basically press conferences,advertising campaigns, merchandising  and interviews with the actors and directors.

International Promotion

The Amazing Spider man 2 was a Summer Blockbuster and international film,therefore it was displayed in many countries worldwide.In this Indian trailer I watched the English langauge and text was dubbed in Hindi.There are also many other international trailers with a langauge dub.This is because the film also has to appeal to other non-English speaking audience.
