How much money do production sound mixers make?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The amount of pay a Production Sound Mixer makes varies greatly depending on experience, type of movie, location, difficultly of project, movie's budget, etc.

A Production Sound Mixer can earn anywhere from $250.00 (U.S.) a day up to $600.00 a day or more for his fee. Add to that the fee he or she gets for the rental of his gear and it can go way up for a film commercial or high end digital commercial. Reality television mixers tend to make less than that.

Movies tend to also pay lower because you are getting three weeks to a year of work on the same project, so your daily rate is lower plus you give the production company a one or two day "week" rental on the gear, or settle on a package rate for the entire movie.

Why did they decide to build the titanic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The iconic British ship was built to transport significant number of passengers across the Atlantic, being the largest cruise liner in the world when it was launched. It also carried mail and some small cargo, but it was primarily designed to carry people in relative comfort across the ocean. In 1912, air travel was still in its infancy and not very comfortable, or even safe.

In business terms, the Titanic was built by the White Star Line to compete with the rival Cunard Line's newest ships, the Mauretania and the Lusitania (the latter also met an untimely end in 1915).

Crossing the Atlantic

Cruise line companies were the airlines of that time. No one had even crossed the Atlantic by air.

The only way travel across continents was by ship. The companies needed to carry passengers of every class to make a profit. So a large ship with luxury accomodation for the 1st class passengers, and a big capacity for 2nd and 3rd class passengers, could make the maximum amount of money from a single voyage. Titanic had the swankiest 1st class decks and even the third class passengers were in small cabins (up to 8 passengers) instead of in large dormitories which was more common.

By building the Ttanic and her 2 sister ships, the White Star Line hoped to have the most up-to-date fleet and be the first choice for passengers crossing the Atlantic, whether they were rich or poor.

$$$$. There was strong competition between shipping lines. Each line wanted the biggest, fastest, fanciest ship. Having that brought business to the shipping line.
White Star created Titanic, Olympic, and Britannic to compete against Cunard's Lusitania and Mauratania
To make money for the company that owned it. It was to be the largest, fastest, grandest ship of all- and people would want to pay to travel on the Titanic.

What are the 3 types off animation?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The three general types of animation are:

1.) Cel Animation

--> Drawings are made on transparent sheets (celluloid) which may then be laid on top of each other to combine characters and backgrounds

2.) Stop Motion Animation

--> A model or puppet (shadow puppets were used in early stop motion) is shot a frame at a time, with tiny changes in position being made between each frame

3.) Computer Animation

--> Computers can be used to entirely create the shapes and colours of animated action, working from a series of mathematical codes, or they can be used to enhance hand-drawn characters.

Why use stop motion animation?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Stop motion animation is one storytelling technique that can be used to advantage by the director who employs this style.

Given the monies involved in paying actors, vis a vis the monies paid to stop-motion animators, there could be an economic advantage.

There may be actions that are required by the story that no actor could perform.

Engaging an audiences' imagination involves the audience in the story, and stop-motion animation forces suspension of disbelief, because the character is not known for other work.

Is the movie apocalypto a historicaly correct movie?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Apocalypto was combination of both. Fact and faction both were merged in it.

No movie is entirely factual, unless it is a documentary. "Based on a true story" means that some of it is true and some of it is not true. "Inspired by a true story" means that virtually none of it is true. Again, no movie is "fact," unless it is a documentary.

Why study film making?

No. Actors are the piece of clay to be molded by the director. The producer is the purchaser of said clay. On the other hand, if your name is Johnny Depp or Nicole Kidman, etc, you can probably tell the director to shove the clay analogy up his a**.

How do you sell a movie pitch or idea?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1. Come up with the story, its genre, and who is the target audience. Since you want to pitch the movie idea to Disney, then, make sure it is family-oriented. Also, make the story compelling and emotionally engaging for audiences whether the idea is original, adapted, or based on a real-life event.

2. Second, begin to outline the screenplay and the sequence of events. Come up with the characters and give them an individual personality. Once that's settled, begin writing the screenplay. It is also safe to have some collabratation with other people to make your story more creative.

3. Next, make sure you copyright your screenplay so there's proof that the screenplay is written by you.

4. Then, submit your screenplay to Disney.

5. If you get the attention of a producer affiliated with the Walt Disney Company, then, come into partnership with him/her, and they will arrange some time to pitch your idea to the Disney executives.

6. When it's time to pitch, swallow your fears, and simply state the synopsis of your movie idea, and even act the events with props to make the idea seem interesting. If they approve it, you're in luck!

How did the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) affect filmmaking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some people affected by these activities lost their standing and careers in film making. Others found ways around the inquiries, and depending on their value systems, were able to continue to work in the industry.

Many college theses and dissertations have been written about the effect of the HUAC on the content of movies made between about 1925 and the 1980s -- defending, documenting and analyzing cold-war themes.
