Proposal

In our group, we decided to create a romantic comedy, as we all enjoyed this genre, and thought it would be easy enough to produce. This took some time to decide, as we all had many ideas, but chose this one in the end.

We chose to make our target audience teens to adults, as this would be easy for us to do because we ourselves are teenages, and are surround with people of these ages, therefore we know what they like. Later on, we will create a questionnaire to find out their faviourite genre and numerous other pieces of information that will help us poece together our film.

We concluded that it would be easier for our production if we based this in school, as this would create a niche audience, and would be easy access when we come to filming. This will also give us extras that we need; other students, teachers and our school friends. As some of these too are in Media AS, they would be informed about what to do on set, and if we had any difficulty with filming or equipment, this would save us time.

We will be using both natural lighting and artificial lighting. These will be done by using the sun when outside, or through the windows in a room, and light bulbs on the ceiling. Both of these will help create realism, both indoors and outdoors.

We have decided that with the conventions, we will keep the basic storyline the same; the love triangle, and the problems thst the characters incounter. We will also have the protagonist characters shown in the opening sequence, as this will reaveal to the audience who the film will be about. We will also have the title shown in the opening sequence, so the audience know what film they are watching. We will be reavealing the actor's names, the location, and the time period in the opening sequence, as this is another convention of a film, and will set the scene for the rest of the film.

We will be using a range of different camera techniques, such as panning, hard cuts and differnet camera angles, as these will help show character status, character importance and establishing shots. Fast edits will also reveal how fast pased the film will be.

We have talked about the distribution and the exhibition, and we have decided of using the 'ordinary' ways of exhibition like trailors, posters, radio adverts and adverts on popular internet sites such as facebook and twitter. This film would also be viewed in cinemas and later released on dvd.
