Feedback

After our pitch we got some feedback from our class,

They said:

·         They liked the fact that our protagonist was a male

·         They liked our transition shots – where the titles come up

·         They liked our production company and logo 

They said we could improve:

·         On how detailed our plot is

·         How the opening starts

·         Which sort of shots we use

Our production company and logo went down very well they liked

·         That the background was a cinema

·         The red stereotypical chairs

·         That our logo appeared on the screen

·         That the font stands out

Film company logo

Our initial idea was to call the company 'Tomorrow Studios', we then changed this to 'Tomorrow Productions' because we believe not only did it sound better but we wanted to show that this company produces films.

Our film company is called 'Tomorrow Productions', this is because the target audience is for young people looking forward and not to the past like older people, therefore this emphasises the target audience. This represents the film company as it suggest that we look forwards and are modernised.

I also created our production company logo. I created it on Photoshop. This was easy to create and has a simplistic look however it put across the meaning we wanted. For example; the clear image of the cinema indicts straight away that it is related to the film industry. The title of the film company is on the cinema screen, this makes it stand out as the background is dark. The red seats are also very stereotypical of a cinema. The image is also is a point of view shot, therefore connects with the audience as they would be in the same position.

Ideas for Teen Angst Opening Scene

Our USP is that the protagonist is out film is going to be male. This is a countertype of teen angst films, as stereotypically the protagonist is female. Through research the only teen angst film we found with a male protagonist is '17 Again'.

Yes, this is because the description for my target audience describes a stereotypical teenager.  

Research of the Teen Angst film genre.

Teen angst films have the target audience of teenagers/ young adults.

The plot/narrative is based on stereotypical teenage interests, such as coming of age, rebellion, conflict or alienation. These subjects are represented in a glossy/stereotypical way.

Teen angst films focus on the most troubled aspects of the teenage years. 

Many teen angst films include humour and sexual themes. 

Additionally, many are set in high schools.

Typical conventions of a teen film depend on the cultural context of the film, for example; prom, parties, losing one's virginity, social groups and most stereotypically cliques.
