Title Sequence Research

Today we done further research into our title sequence, to do this we analysed and researched a similar genre title sequence. Below is our research of the timings and types of titles we researched from the action film 'oceans 11'.



 

Marketing Planning

Today we continued with our planning for our film opening, this involved our marketing planning of how and where we are going to advertise of film poster. To do this we presented the poster in day to day environments such as a bill board.

We have also produced a website using 'wix' this website page is to promote any important details about our film, for example our release date, genre and release locations. Here is our website link.

Age Certificate Research

Today we were doing further research for our film opening, this included research into what we can include in a bbfc 15 film and the restriction of the certificate.

According to the 'British board of film classics' the following contents is acceptable in a film with the certificate 15:

 



Also in relation to the certificate, our target audience gender is very broad. Due to our choice of starring a female actor in an action movie we have decided that anybody from 15 and over is suitable for our film, however the action side of our film will appeal more to the male side of our audience

Genre Research

Today we was doing further research into what our genre and film plot usually includes.

 

A heist film usually consists of three acts, these include; a briefing of preparation and planning, the heist itself and finally the outcome of the heist. Therefore due to this we are including clear but brief reflections of each act with in our film opening to maximise the clarity of our genre.

Also a heist film includes characters with a clear identity, this can be down to there personality, costume or skill.

Finally a heist film will usually include a mode of transport to and from the heist, props such as guns and robbery tools. Throughout a heist film there is a clear reflection of the characters living outside of the law.

We also ensured that we had included the comedy aspect of our film opening by including clear flaws in our planning, props and skill levels. In order to effectively do this we analysed film such as 'central intelligence' and '21/22 jump street'.

Below are the main films that we took inspiration from. These mainly influenced us to use the comedy side of our film opening.
 

Film Pitch Evaluation

Our film pitch gained mostly positive feedback with our average score out of ten being around the 8 mark. The feedback for our film title is that it is relevant to the film and also interesting. The shortness of the title means that it is catchy as well, meaning it is easily remembered. The cast feedback was also positive as many people liked the fact that we had an all British cast, seeing as the film is set in Tudor England. This helps to keep the authenticity of the accents in our film. The plot of our film was more of a split, regarding opinions. Whilst some thought that it was a unique and interesting plot idea, others thought it would be a slightly boring storyline with not much to expand on.

To improve next time, we could choose a film idea that may be more safe in terms of successfulness. If we aim for the film to be targeted towards a wider range of university students rather than the high intellectuals, it will increase the likelihood of ticket sales. 

Film Poster Analysis

In todays lesson we had the task to analyse a similar film poster, with this we had to annotate the film poster in what is similar with our film poster. The key annotated information was:
