Directors Commentary

Our directors commentary.

Our film representing particular social groups

Evaluation 2

The film St.Trinians is in the same genre as my film- a drama/comedy. They both relate to each other through mis-en-scene. Our character who plays the "slutty daughter", has a very similar costume to the St.Trinians girls in the movie, particularly their head girl, Kelly Jones.
Both costumes represent a rebellious and slutty school girl stereotype, with the fish net tights, high waisted skirt, shirt and heels.
The films have used the same high key/normal lighting to show the comical side to things, and the set design is also similar as they are set in schools.

1) We chose the title for our film because it is about a family and part of are target audience are families
2) We chose this setting because we need a built up area and a post box. It is also deserted to give an eary feeling.
3) We chose this costume because we need her to look slutty.
4) This is an example of one of our camera shots it is a AEV to give a close up of the envelope sticking to the shoe. 
5) We but are titles in the film instead of putting them in during editing
6) Are story for are opening titles was following a envelop on its journey and at different stages of its journey it has different credits on.
7) Are genre was comedy drama. This is my example of drama.
8) We chose are characters by working out what sort of family we had then tried to get as close to the stereotypical versions of them for example the canteen worker;she was hard but we tired by some quite chavy clothes.
9) Are special effects consisted of black and white fading and jump shots.

Key elements

The Key elements that we will need to include in our opening titles to represent the expectations are.

Audience - we are aiming for both boys and girls interest. Most likely more boys than girls becuase there are scenes of violence and slutty girls, aimed between the ages of 16- 28 year old's.

Music for film titles

We have decided to use ine soundtrack throughout the whole opening. We have chosen this particular music to add in it is upbeat so therefore links in with out genre of Comedy/Drama, and it will add more atmosphere and energy to the opening, instead of just having the diegetic sounds. This is draw the audiences attention and keep them entertained. We found the music on the internet on a website called mp3unsigned.com

Narative theories

This is an example of Todorovs theory as we have the typical narrative structure. We have out climaxes and problems but by the end everything has been resolved.We also use elements of Propps theory during the fire scene. The sister is the damsel in distress because she is trapped by the fire, twins are the villains because they are the ones who start fire, the hero's are the firemen, who put out the fire. We also use elements of Strauss by using binary opposites. Rich/ Poor, Happy / sad, funny/ serious, light/ dark.

Institutions that might produce, distribute and exhibit my film

I looked at a variety of different films with my selected genre -comedy/drama and which institutions produced them. In my research I found that Universal Studios, Columbia, Don Simpson/Jerry BruckHeimer Films,Legendary pictures, Mtv films, Warner brothers, Dream worksand Paramount are all well know institutions that produce this type of genre.

Pearl and Dean Audience Research

I looked at the bar charts from Pearl and Dean who sell advertising in cinemas, and who have to know their audience. This shows me that people around the ages of 15-24 and 35+ mostly go to the cinema. I can also see that more higher class go to the cinema, most likley because they have more money to spend on in trips to cinemas, and that slightly more females go. I learn from this that if i was to show a film in the cinema, i would aim for higher class females ages 15-24 .



By looking at this bar chart, I can see that most families go to the cinemas at ages 7-14 and 35+. Again it is the higher class that go to cinemas more, and are more females.












I can use these ideas that i have learnt from Pearl and Dean for my own film, by making my film more interesting to higher class people around the age of 15-24.

9 key screen shot of a film oppening

This is a key shot because it is the title of the film; its big, its bold and is exaggerated by being underlined and over lined.

A scene setter. Quite simply shows you exactly where you are and the plane above is low so you can make a connection to Miami airport. 

Shows what time of day it is with the sun in the back ground rising it is not completely clear from this shot but the light in each of the shots is different starting early in the morning wit the first shot and finishes in the dark of night.

This is a key shot because this building appears four times.

An overview of the peace full, calm city that is quite the opposite. 

The building in the middle of the shot is emphasised by light; all the other buildings around are dark but this one is light up and you can not just see the black out line.

Birds eye view of Miami pushing into the night; lots still going on in the city.

Here it is again the brightly lit building standing out from all the other buildings.

This last shot is a birds eye view looking down on a dark sinister. I think the reason this shot is so important is because of the cars; you can only see its head lights that look like eyes and a very faint outline of the rest of the car giving it a mysterious feeling.
