Sound

The soundtrack for our opening 2 minuets of our fil is called: king dinosaur feat anchors up-grow up. It took us a while to find a song from soundcloud which suits the theme of our film because we wanted something  happy and bouncy. This is the song we chose because it is about the morning and we felt that it suited the persona of the film. Below is a link to my music.

Preliminary Task

Target Audience

This is a moodboard researching my target audience and the kind of people that will be watching my film. I think that my target audience will be the age group 16-25. It will be mainly females who shop in high street shops like Topshop, H&M and Zara. She will also read magazines like heat and vogue, drink starbucks and eat sushi.

Changing our idea and analysing Rom /Com openings

After looking at our horrer film idea again me and my group decided that it would not work because of a number of reasons: the location we wanted to film in would not be possible, alot of people are doing horror films and also it is very popular for people to do a chase themed film. We brainstormed a few other genres and ideas and finally concluded to choosing a romantic comedy because it will be funny and relatable for us to film. We have been analysing various openings of Rom/Com's.

Bridget Jones is a classic Rom/Com About a women and her cringey love life, this film has given us alot of ideas for our own film. We would also like to create a film about a ditsy woman who is terrible with keeping a relationship but eventually falls in love. Another thing we would like to incorporate from the opening of Bridget Jones is playing the scene and having the opening credits fading in and out.

Another opening of a Rom/Com which I liked was 10 things i hate about you which is an unexpected love story set in an American high school. The opening credits are very simple with a panning shot on the school and the writing scribbled over the top in different colours. the music for this film is very good because it is all from the correct time period and genre.

Opening Credits/Exploring Fonts

For the opening credits I have been researching a number of different fonts and have come to a conclusion of either: Franklin Gothic Demi Cond, Batangche, SimSun, Amienne and GungSuh. When looking for fonts I went for the ones which would be simple and clear to read but also very girly since I am doing a Rom/Com. I have done  rough version of what my opening credits could look like below by experimenting with a variation of font, For the names I used a mixture of famous companies/People and unknown/made-up. I think it would look really good if the opening credits of my film were to fade in and out of the opening scene and blend in or maybe for example the main character could put down an object and the titles could be there. An example of a film which has opening titles that does this is Legally Blonde http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UUKVPC4Fq4

Reflections and meeting deadlines

I am up to date so far with all of my work except for the fact that my preliminary task will not load onto youtube which means that me and my group may have to edit and film it again. I also need to change the treatment and the research for the film opening because my group have decided to change genre from a horror film based inside a school to a Rom/Com starting off with a girl waking up and her daily routine. I have compleated my powerpoint on an opening sequence and I choose Juno because the opening is done in a very interesting way.
