Film Outline

February 12, 2013 Leave a comment

To plan our b movie we got together and started to plan what we were going to do with our movie. We looked at all of the possible characters in our movie and who could play what in our group. we then planned what will happen in each of the scenes and how long each of them would take because our movie has to be 10 minuets long. we decided to do a space theme for our movie after looking at previous research and what target market audience likes as a movie and what elements we could contain within this. we then started to form the second scene for our b movie. we started to gather the props and set the scene and used a range of different camera angles to enable us to develop this. I think by having this basic layout will enable me to consider how I could convey the movie within the poster format to ensure this is a great deal suitable for the target market audience (younger generation). I have planed the film to be 10 minuets long and ensure this conveys visually thee old format within the film visually to help convey the effects from my research. For example the use of the old typographical imagery to enhance and engage the generation to watch the film and reflect the 1950’s era of time.
