Neue Finanzierungsformen

Digitization has without a doubt, the production and distribution revolutionized. In the financing of projects, developments still in their infancy. Still, the revenue is too low, the fact that such forms of financing have emerged. Nevertheless, new concepts have been developed or they are simply created. “Financing Crowd” is an increasingly important aspect of the financing of film projects. These are the costs of the project to many individual investors, distributed, mostly private individuals, the so-called micro-payments service. This is actually about donations, because it may or may not give consideration. The looks in the best case for a share of profits, in most cases, however, the mention in the credits or a DVD available. But to earn it the supporters anyway in the first place. Films will be supported by individuals, because it is the story or find the topic important. Identification with ideas not only allows the making of the film, it gives the filmmakers and the people a political platform to create. So could the British do-it-yourself filmmakers Lizzie Gillett and Franny Armstrong for her documentary “The Age of Stupid” First, the development, production and then later with a total distribution of 590,000 pounds [1] finance. The film deals with the effects of global warming and the theme was obvious the audience points. Meanwhile, does the fund raising for a “Not Stupid” campaign around the theme and the film. The goal of 450,000 pounds seems not far away, nearly half has already been paid. With “Celluloid Dreams”, the film depicts a world renowned found distribution, global cinema starts are equally fixated. Crowed Financing (Crowed or funding) is not new and filmmakers are not the only ones who opt for this form of financing can inspire. U.S. politicians take a large part of their campaign budgets by small donations from the Internet to – Obama was in February 2008 alone, 55 million U.S. dollars by taking Crowd Funding, 80 percent of which came from the internet. [ 2] Dr. Söoren Auer, a researcher at the Computer and Information Department at the University of Pennsylvania, is in taz.de interview a problem: “The idea could be misused or abused. Crowdfunding works if you made no great profit, but a need just wanted to be – the need for donors. there will be more difficult when it comes to financing a film go: Because one can predict when donors do not know if you get in the end, what you have expected. [ "3] film producer Lizzie Gillett Crowdfunding on the other hand, sees a future model. your own film project is debt free, so you do not have to contract with a distributor fight. “Thus, we can sell it regardless,” she says – and all profits would be “distributed among those who involved him and financed it.” Crowdfunding says Gillett, is a powerful tool for actors in the independent media. Not only were the then financially independent – but also content. “The Age of Stupid” is the best-case scenario for Crowd Financing, and so will also be happy as an example . The difficulty in the scheme, however, is enough supporters for his project. Did you not just a star on the hand, an established brand or a topic that many people at heart, the formation of a fan and / community supporters or his time. This is confirmed by the filmmakers in frenzy of possible success is often overlooked. Depending on the amount of the budget needs of the film it may be months or even years until the financing is closed. This of course only under one condition, the in independent films has always been subject to either the story or the outstanding issue aroused attention. Average product is also not the desired success. A platform, the Micro-finance on the ground allows, is Fundable.org . This was founded in 2005 and is considered one of the pioneers in the field. The operation of the service is simple, but effective. A person shall submit a project with specific budget needs and requests for financial support. This can be in the new film documentary, the acquisition of a camera, or the funding of his post. Everything is permitted. On its own website, blog or social network profile can be banners and buttons on the donations refer. Interested fans and supporters can be called “Pledge” submit, they secure their support with their chosen amount. If the total amount of the project is reached, the amount of the support collected, and only then. Fundable assumes technical and financial management and collects 10 percent of this commission. The average project budget is 500 to 3000 dollars, with an average payment of pledges from 20 to 50 dollars. In return you will receive either a DVD of the finished film, a mention in the credits, or simply nothing at all. Some projects provide appropriate support team for credits, it is often the producers credit for $ 5000 or less to have taken a credit for buying is nothing new in the film business, financiers are often associated with exporting production have nothing to do , as Executive Producer in the credits mentioned. Equally often forgo Star actor to a portion of its fee, to participate in the profits and receive in return the manufacturers title. How cheap was the producer title, but never to buy, even though probably a small difference between a 10,000-euro production and a 10 Film-million project is expected to exist. href=”http://Sellaband.com”> , Dropcash Tipjoy , Chipin are just some of the myriad of systems, the monetary relations between individuals and groups should. The filmmaker can also via online payment systems like PayPal or Moneybookers even the Crowd-Funding assume. Nirvan Mullick could for his film “1 Second Film” by direct payment on its website www.1secondfilm.com about $ 150,000 from Attract supporters 7000. To the dollar was a reference to the donor as a producer. Detail worth mentioning: The 70mm film consisted of a second, animated images, followed by 90 minutes guy. read more size=”1″
