Im not even that sure acting and cinematography are essential. I know with web based TV type shows, the only thing I have cared about is the plot. An example is Pioneer One. Terrible production values, which is OK because it only cost $10k ish per episode, but the plot was interesting enough to keep watching.
OK, if I pay to go to the cinema to see a film I expect something a lot better, but then there is more cash coming it to cover that.
Anyway, my silly little point, is that a good plot and script can carry a hell of a lot of iffy production.
- technoslut 15y agoIf you're looking for talent they all matter. You, as a studio exec, go after what you see or feel. For example, one of my favorite films was The Brothers McMullen which was made with $25,000. It was done on a low budget but anyone could see that Edward Burns was the true talent in the film when he was the actor, director and writer. The movie didn't become popular because a ton of execs waded through thousands of movies but rather by word of mouth. This has been the same in the music industry for years. >OK, if I pay to go to the cinema to see a film I expect something a lot better I'm not sure if that's true. A good portion of that 'experience' of movies is to see it with other people – even with people you don't know. It is just something to do. Some just like to see a bad movie and throw popcorn at the screen. I'm sure that many didn't go to see Transformers 3 because they expected better than an indie flick.
