One of my favorite things about my new job is presentation screenings. When the theatre receives a new movie it must be screened to ensure that the print is in good condition.
If the film is a digital movie than it means just ensuring that the film plays properly, with trailers and that all the automated lighting adjustments happen in the proper sequence. If it's an actual film, than the movie has to be checked for scratches and other defects in the image and sound. The person watching the movie needs to make sure the film is assembled properly and there are no splicing errors.
Tonight I conducted a presentation check for Adam Sandler's new film, Just Go With It. The company has two strict policies about presentation screenings. First of all they are closed to the public. This is due to the huge risk if video piracy from an advanced screening of a film. Secondly, anyone at a presentation screening is prevented from blogging anything about the movie until the film is actually released to the public. So you will have to check back here on Friday 2/11 for my review.
