Decision

What kind of movie am I trying to make? I want to make a drama/ comedic movie that teenagers can relate to. Movies such as mean girls where the new girl wants to fit in with the more popular girls. This happens all the time in real life, especially in high school. Or just like the 2010 movie street dreams about a teen who goes through many hardships in his life and tries to go pro in skating. Although that's not what his parents want him to do, he does it anyways since that's what he enjoys that. As a teenager your parents may want you to be a doctor, engineer, architect, or something that just makes a lot of money. Even though you may want to do something else, you feel as if you must obey your parents, which is what is happening in this movie. As I said earlier my intended audience will be teenagers because I am making something that they can relate to. I will get them to see this movie by producing something that grabs their attention. Such as leaving a cliff hanger in the beginning so they can watch it more. Such as the movie " scary movie" where in the film opening a character dies by the antagonist leaving everyone clueless since its the beginning of the movie. In this movie the character "Drew" gets chased around by the antagonist for approximately the whole entire opening. Leaving the audience to ask questions such as " why is this happening to her", " what is the purpose of the antagonist killing her", "did she ever have some type of connection with the antagonist causing them to kill her". All these questions may be asked and makes the audience to watch the film more so their questions would be answered. A movie famous for its opening " Saving Private Ryan which is about world war 2 famous D-day. This opening is filled with a ton of action leaving the audience with many questions. That is how I want my opening to be, leaving the audience with many questions so they can keep watching my film. At the end, the group I am in decided we should go for a drama/comedy, which was the approach I was going for. 






My final project will be a film opening and will be named “Together till the end: The breakup” The project will fall under the section “Component 1: Foundation portfolio” and will go over objectives 2 and 3. I plan to research movies in my genre and production methods. This project will meet objective two requirements by analyzing film openings in the genre I am doing and conduct shot by shot to better understand how to create this film opening the way it should be created. This film opening will also meet the requirements of objective three by carefully researching this genre (as I said before by looking at film openings, conducting shot by shot analysis, and breaking down this opening to the core). With my team Kayla, Kinaya, and Adonai, we will properly plan and construct this film opening.

Production/filming schedule

 In order to be ready for production, you must have a schedule. This schedule will contain what day you will be filming a certain scene, what scene it is, and the projected time when it starts and when it finishes. This schedule will help keep everything organized so when film day comes, everything will be smooth and not take a extremely long time. This schedule should not take a extremely long time to do. However, in my group someone was assigned to do it and is not answering so it might take a little bit more time. A tip that would be very helpful in your group would to make sure you can contact your team members at all times. In times where on group member may not be able to do some, you must be able to contact them to help fix this issue. This film schedule plays a main role with production alongside casting. Every single movie that you have seen, the producers made a film schedule. This keeps them organized and can guarantee that they will finish their film in the projected ti...
 Everyone may seem like making films may be easy. You get a cast, direct, promote, then BOOM you have a movie. But that is not it once so ever. There are many difficult parts and that includes in convincing a production company to finance your film. If you have a fear of talking to people or your shy then this is not for you. You must show your story line, script, how you plant to budget and etc. This may be the hardest part because without a production company to indorse and invest in your film, you would wither have nothing or have to start from scratch. Which means you would have to do your own, producing, casting, promotion, and the main part... you would have to pay for everything. There are three things you must do in order to be prepared with showing your Film proposal to a production company. 1. Start developing your film proposal. In this process you would set out the structure of how your film would be. Things such as film synopsis, the log line, screen play structure, th...
