Pitch for our Sci fi film.

In groups we had to make a story using a couple of characters and a genre. Our groups story was to create a film around that to sale to producers.
What genre and character we got:
.Sci fi genre
. Sally
. Josh and his age  ( 8)
. A gun
The film "Sally"
With this we came up with the story of Josh being an 8 year old boy in a orphanage who loved aliens and had a toy gun.  In this film the young boy would be played by Oakiee Pendergast, even though he is not well known we agreed that his look was right for the film. During the film he meets an alien who will be played by Zoe Sandler, who will bring in audiences as she is quite famous. We picked her because we thought that she would look the part as she has played aliens before.
During the film the audience will see the advantages that Sally and Josh, the opening we will see the boy find the alien, with the prop of a toy gun.
We did this as we thought that this film would get a good audience of Sci Fi fans and fans of the old film ET. As well as the film will help the audience think about their own relationship with an older generation.  The film will be rated a 12 for moderated violence, and maybe some swearing.

This is us doing the Pitch and The poster of ideas we made:

Openings of other genres

Romance
The conversions of a romance film are quite simple. A romance film should show two people fall in love with each other.

Here are three openings of Romantic films.

The Notebook displays ideas of the love though it's soft music and sweet romantic colours of red with the sunset. It gives an impression that it will be quite a famous love film because of it's simple but sweet opening.
And the river shows that maybe it's a quite famous part of the film.
The names coming up slowly also makes the film seem more simple and sweet.
As well as show the gracefulness of the characters.

The Fault In Our Stars
The fault in ours shows the character is high sprites, laughing, smiling ect. This shows that the film will have romantic ideas in it and the relationship will be full of promise.
However it mixes it with a rather depressing speech about how life is which shows the ideas that it could included sadness. The mix of the two shows that the film will included romance with tragedy, which this genre sometimes uses this convention.

10 Things I Hate About You
In contrast 10 Things I Hate About You is a more of comedic film with romantic intent. So this film shows a contrast between two types of people. It shows two girls driving to school, one girl has popular ( for the time) while the other girl (later we find out is the main character) is playing hard rock music, while having a sour face. This shows the that film will surround this girl. Her moodiness shows that this film will show to contrasting characters will be the ones in love, as the conversations of America high school dramas is that the girl and guy will change each other to fall in love. This opening is simple and doesn't really show the genre plentifully but does make the audience interested in the film itself.

Company idents

In films, before the action it must pay respect to the company that produces/directed or funded it. Over the years companies have shown this in multiple different ways, which showcases a number of different techniques  to highlight the company.
Such 20th Century Fox logo is remembered as it combines the large gold font, stylist lettering and booming sound to have it stuck in the audiences head, it also gives the audience an idea of what scale that the production will be on because of the large and bold statement the logo makes.

Similarly the Disney logo, while it has change in the resent years when Disney main Blockbuster movies were 3D animation, the Disney castle is sweet and lovely animated. For Adults it brings back a sense on Nostalgia because of the impact of Disney films for a young age and the logo excites children because of it sweet romantic music and exciting castle.

In our own Media studies class, our task was to create a company ident , we did this on Adobe After Effects. As I wasn't experienced on this program  so my final ideas were very basic. With the program I wanted to make something quite scary to show that my film was going to be a horror movie. With this in mind I chose a picture of showing creepy and bloody.

I used different effects such as Glow and Fade to create the creepy shadowy effect. I chose these effects as they were simple to program and looked creepy with the scary picture I chose.
I will hopefully develop these skills to create a more interesting and simply logo with people will remember more. This ident will also help create image which will go with the theme of my film, the hand will show the scariness and violence that will be shown in my film. The faded text will show simple way I can show something creepy.
