Research & Planning:
For our preliminary task, no research was collected. We didn't search for other films in order to gain inspiration. We were simply given a script to follow for our prelim. The actors in our prelim were reading off of the scripts and refused to get into character, making it difficult for the audience to recognise the plot of the clip. The only thing we may have slightly researched was camera shots with how they're used and what they portray.
For our original task, tons of research was collected! We researched before we even started planning for our film.
We had to ensure that we knew about:
1. Stereotypical characters and how they are presented in films, in terms of mise en scene, camera work, sounds and editing.
2. We researched sub genres and how they're clearly established within films so we knew how we would represent our subgenre of comedy and hints of romance within just the opening.
3. We had to also research ways in which binary oppositions are identified and represented in teen films.
In terms of planning, we had to plan which conventions we were going to follow and challenge in our film. We chose to follow the conventional nerd & jock stereotypical character. We also chose to follow the conventional teen film themes like fitting in, first love, teen angst, etc.
We chose to make our teen film follow the subgenre of comedy as this genre seems to attract many young adults and teenagers, according to our research of statistics within the cinema and who watches which subgenre most.
