shooting the rugby scenes

as a massive part of the film, being able to shoot a live game will give us a major advantage and we luckily have the opportunity this weekend to film a very competitive game.

music


music for a production is a very important aspect of the film. this is due to the fact music and sound help to set the scene in the shot and help add affect to what the producer is trying to show the audience.

i have attached the film 'Invictus' trailer not only because of how it can relate to my production but also because it is a good example of how music is used throughout media. the use of synergy with the film and music also shows a great level of skill as if match together incorrectly; this could have a large negative affect on the film. in the trailer there is a great mix of the background music mixed in with some diegetic sounds of children cheering on the players. this is used in the trailer to keep the audience interested in the film and allows the short clip to flow better.

student feedback


the student feedback that i received was vital in me moving forward and improving my blog. the main thing that i picked up on was the amount of post i have on this blog and that needs to be improved on dramatically. other improvements needed where;
more creativity

relating production to our film



the video that i have attached to the post not only go along with the rugby theme but also show the certain amount of determination need in life to get where you want. this is the same sort of message that i want to portray in my film as i think it is very important to inspire others with your own work.

changing the film idea

after much consideration and suggestion we came to the conclusion that creating a film with the same sort of story line as four brothers was probably not the best idea as we cannot relate to the situation as much as we would like to. with this in mind we have stayed with the genre of drama but have changed the story line drastically. due to the fact we are both huge rugby fanatics it only seems to make sense that we should create a visionary film full of inspiration and show to the audience how determination cane get you to where you want to be.

first film pitch

after pitching our idea to the class and to our teacher we had some good but mostly negative feedback that consisted off:
too similar to other productions that have already been released.
is not a strong enough idea to produce
budget was going to cost too much


with all of this in mind we have decided to scrap the initial idea and to think about something new and fresh that has not been produced like this before.

story line basis

i think that its fairly obvious that the story line of the film is the most important things about the production. this is because it what keeps the audience interested in the film. as a initial idea and base that i think my story line could grow from i like the story line from the famous film 'four brothers' This is one of my favorite films because i think that it has a very meaningful message about brotherhood and sticking together with family. it manages to do this with added twist to create a much indulging and exciting film.

action genre

again action genre is one of the most used film genre as it has a pretty much unlimited amount of story lines possible to create as long as there is some sort of action portrayed in the film. by this i mean that a explosion of sorts or maybe a car chase is possibly the most stereotypical of an action film.

comedy genre

a comedy genre is where in which the films main emphasis is on humor and making the audience laugh. it is arguably one of the one popular film genres for the audience as a lot of people who go to watch films want enjoyment and laughter with their friends.  the target audience is stereotypically a young audience which i think is correct as the much older generation seem to go for more o the action an drama films. examples of comedy are the hangover and anchorman

drama genre

the drama genre is possibly the most famous and used genre as it can appeal to a very wide audience. examples of a drama range from the famous 'The Godfather' and 'The shawshank redemption' although they can be seen to be quite an emotional film there can be certain aspects of comedy or action in the films.

initial ideas for movie genre

The genre selection is possibly the most important process of creating the production. i think this due to the fact if you are unsure on the genre of your film then you can't fully emphasise certain scenes. for example if your genre is a horror and you are looking to shock and scare the viewer by having the film in a setting that may not be right for the genre, this will deter the story line and will have less of an effect on the audience. therefore the genre needs to be very specific and well thought to make it as affective as possible.

personally my favorite genre of film to watch is a comedy as i really enjoy the witty humour. i also like this genre because i think that there are so many different versions of how it can be portrayed whereas a genre such as horror may seem to have a very similar story line to the other films out at the time.
