Film Genre Research~ Sixteen Candles

Sixteen Candles, the 1984 coming of age film has many aspects I would use in my opening scene. In the first 2 minutes you see clips of kids arriving to a high school. You see the different social groups that are depicted by their wardrobe, actions, and the way they are viewed by other people. For example, the mis-en-scene is used when you are shown different outfits worn by the kids like the close ups of the students with their sunglasses. You can tell that fashion and wardrobe choices were important to show who is in what social class. Also, there is a specific over the shoulder shot of a student trying to unlock their locker. After multiple attempts and great frustration he finally gets it but you can assume that they might be a freshman or new to the school. For this movie, the budget was 6.5 million but they made 23.7 in box offices. While observing the opening scene, I will take things such as the close ups of the actions along with the way they help portray the characters and...

Use of Conventions

Our film entitled Beau has a few certain ways that it tested conventions. While filming we tried to incorporate as many different camera shots in it to make it interesting as well as different sound effects. For example with the tracking shot go Beau's dad carrying the box it signifies that the girl is leaving her house and shows that they are loading their stuff into the truck. We also used a mid-shot when Olly and Beau are talking and watching the sunset. This shows what is happening as well as the moods on the two kids faces while they are saying they will miss each other. For the sound aspect we used birds sound effects in the beginning to represent a peaceful mood as well as the song Aint' No Mountain High Enough  by Marvin Gaye to represent Beau reminiscing on the good times she had with her friend. The film represents all teenagers and shows the struggles of moving away from the people that you love but that in the end something good will always happen to make up for yo...

Marketing Plan

For the film Beau  my partner and I have come up with multiple ways to market our film. With our target audience being teen girls in middle or high school we came up with ways that will help get the word out about our movie. Many teens spend a good portion of their day on heir phone looking through Snapchat, Instagram, and other social media platforms. Because of this ads and certain aspects that companies use help younger viewers recognize that product that they produced. The first way in which my partner and I are marketing our film is teaming up with snap chat to create a filter to promote our movie. A lens is an interactive filter you can put on a picture and some of them have mask-like features while some are like little games. For example, the Netflix Original To All the Boys I've Loved Before used Snapchat as a platform to market their movie. They used a little spin the bottle game to draw Snapchat users to use their filter. When they saw the filter it advertised the movie...
