Reasearch and Filming

We Went out for a reckie trip as we needed to decide on the location for the opening scene of our film, after looking around we collecting an amount of pictures: we have yet to decide what pictures are going to be the area we actually film in, as there was so many to decide from .

As we were out we took the time to film some of our opening scene to get a quick glimpse of what our film would like, we will edit it to make sure that everything is okay and then we will go out again and re film it as we haven't decided if there area we filmed it in is the area that we going to use.

Background Song

We decided to analyse some music that we thought may relate to the film that we have chosen to do. We have looked at a few songs, but we came down to just two. To get the right song for your film you have to look if it will fit in and will relate to the film that your doing as it will sound odd otherwise.



'Maybe' and 'Wherever you will go' are the two songs that we chose, we are debating whether which one is the right choice for the scene in our film; Analysing the aspects for each song is very easy we've come to conclusion that they are completely different as they have different speeds, type of lyrics,and instrumental. Considering this we finally decided to use 'Wherever you will go' as we feel this will relate best.

There are two scenes in our film that need a background song, we have chosen 'Wherever you will go' for one of the scenes and now we need another one; This scene is different as this scene shows happy emotions so we need a song that will relate to this so we were analysing this two songs so that we can decide.



as a group wqe analysed the Pro's and Con's of each of these of the songs and we have finally come to a conclusion; 'Kiss Me' is the song we have chosen, we have chose this because the scene has intimacy which 'Wherever you will go' relates to the scene.

Research And Planning

i had a look at the website, and was analysing the ratings that the films where getting, which i noticed that the genre romance/comedy is struggling to produce films that are reaching high ratings for example the picture above shows the average ratings that the films where getting.

Research And Planning

Presenting our presentation to the class was very beneficial for us as we gained some critical and positive advice about three ideas that we produced; from the advice that we got we chose a Rom-com as the class preferred this, and it was easier and was more "attention grabbing"

Research and Planning

 

Here is a list of the directors and the films that they have produced, but because we are interested only in Rom-Coms i have only selected the ones that are related to us. As we are doing a Rom- Com if  we were to sell our film and have it massed produced these are the directors that specailise in the genre for our film and the films that they have produced could give us clues on how to make a succesful opening scene.
