What happens at a film premier?

For my media college work I have to create a film and then promot it.

What exactly happens at the premiers? As I have to have one for my film

thanks

You'll need somewhere to screen it, then invite your friends and people at your college - your head teacher and stuff. Maybe local community...

You can have pretend paparazzi if you want, get some mates to dress up wnd have cameras. Or invite local papers.

present the film - i.e. before it starts introduce it.

Then everyone watches the film.

That's how I'd do it at college. Obviously you're not going to end up with a premiere like Hollywood movies.

Do you actually have to host a premiere or just organise one 'in theory'?

Premieres are just a simple way to generate media interest in a film usually the week before its public release. The more celebs you can get the better. Some film makers go to huge lengths to turn Leicester Square into a scene from the film, this creates a great atmosphere for the fans and other people who've turned up to meet the celebrities.

As krunchie frog says, once all of the celebrities and guests have arrived and entered the cinema the film is introduced and then watched. After the film there is quite often a party where the celebs and film stars will go and tell each how good they all are.

This initial hype for the film gets people excited about going to see it in the first week of release. Plus, the gossip magazines (and AIL ;)) will show pictures of celebrities at the premiere which generates more publicity for the film. For film makers all publicity is good publicity and premieres can generate it in bucket loads.

Hope that's of some use.

Reminds me of my media at college days. We won an 'Oscar' for best adaptation :D

I'll upload our video at some point.
