Inspiration from films

This particular scene inspired me because it showed a sense of freedom and that she’s released from the pain.

This could relate to ours because at the end if she

does commit suicide it will be her way of ending

the pain.


This lighting of this scene inspired me as it links in well with the scene as it is romantic.

Also, his character representation is that he loves her very much and is a good guy.


This is a daylight tragedy with a train

A lot of panning shots was used

Unstoppable


Boys Don’t Cry

Plot is about a transgendered teen born as a female Comfortable as

a boy and looks like one


PreciousShe has flashback of a better/different life

Red clothing representing love and passion

Her clothes look expensive and her hair is done

Artificial lighting

Inspiration from real filmsFilm: Creep

Isolated train station, this would be good for out suicide scene

I like the use of the wide shot to establish where exactly the scene is

The use of artificial lighting, sets a mysterious moodFilm: Slumdog millionaire

The use of the yellow tint, to make the scene feel uncomfortable

I like his Fearful and afraid facial expression, I want the character in my opening sequence to have a feel of fear

Film: premonition

Change of colour for flashback, very bright, this would be good to use for the flashbacks in my opening sequence

Inspiration from real films

• In Time

in this movie it has suicide included and it can show us why people would commit suicide and the consequence of it. And how people have a limit to how long they would live, the rich live forever and the poor die young

In Time

The convention is, people always intend to commit suicide from a bridge. And that’s what this guy is doing by sitting on the edge of the bridge. I can tell as it zooms into the time he has left in life, as he gave all his time away, which shows that he wasn’t happy and wants to die.

He is wearing a suit, which immediately presents that he is a rich guy that can afford expensive clothing

Its in the morning or becoming the afternoon as it isn't that bright. You can tell it’s a peaceful place as there isn't anyone on the bridge and no cars going up and down the road.

This shot would be an establishing shot of showing that the guy just fell of the bridge and it makes it clear that it is a bridge by showing us the whole setting, and shows the audience enough information for the audience to get it.

Chat Room

• Chat Room

This is about mainly killing them selves and it all started online

Chat Room

The convention of committing suicide can be jumping of a building or self harm, self harming isn't killing but can prove that, that the person doesn’t like them selves which can lead to suicide

This is set in a bedroom and jumping from her window, and she is video calling someone, we can tell this is a video call as there’s a computer screen and earphones

She is wearing shorts and a jumper, and her gesture as if she is ready as her arms are side by side on her hips, and cannot see her facial expression.

This would be a close up to see the previous scars and self harming again.

This story is about how people committing suicide

4 3 2 1

• 4 3 2 1

Shows what the 4 girls would do on the same part of the days and how they would meet up and how the diamond brings them together at the end of the scene wen one off the girls wanted to kill her self by jumping of the bridge

4 3 2 1

The convention of this picture is that there's always one person in the friendship groups that needs their support more than others

This is set in London Westfield shopping centre, and the second picture is at night just next to the bridge where they just stopped one of the girls by committing suicide because of family problems

She has a Louis Vuitton bag which is obvious that she has more money than the rest of the friendship group, and she is dressing very smartly as she has a sport looking blazer, full makeup and curled hair

This would be a long shot as it establishes there whole body and can see the background a bit, however its on focus pulls as it blurs out the people and objects behind them and the main 4 characters are clearer

Conventions Use/develop/challengeHow?Why?

Similarities/Differences

1. Conflict with friends/family.

Use because in most drama films there is conflict and the resolution is them sorting it out.

2. Follows thecharacters journey.

Challenge, because ours doesn’t really follow the characters journey because you only see snippets.

The family are all conflicting with each other because of an issue.

The differences is that it is about terminal illness not transgender.

The differences are that this follows all of the characters journeys as they learn new things.

Similarities are that they are students and experimenting and gain knowledge of different things.

Film: My lovley bonesThis film is about a young girl who was murdered by her neighbour. This film has a moving story line.

Genre ConventionsConventions you are applying in opening sequence

Use develop or challenge

How? And why? Similarities/differences to real films

Abuse Develop When she would get shouted at by her mum for wanting to change her identity.

Film: She’s the man This is similar because… She dresses like a boy She does what guys

normally do And her personality and

thoughts are like a guy as well

And her mum is convincing her to start wearing dresses and to forget about football.




Crime use When Jodie commitssuicide because of her depression as no one gets her and excepts that she wants to change her identity

Film: Man on a ledge This is similar The person wants

to commit suicide This would be a

crime

Genre Conventions




Role on the wall use In the outside Jodie is feeling normal but on the inside her thoughts and feelings are completely different.

Film: Mean girls Wanting to make Regina

fat, Katie's thoughts inside her

And wants her to lose weight from the outside pretends like she cares

Genre Conventions

Target audience

• Our opening sequence is Niche because

Reason Explanation

Not many films have transgender This would be the case because there isn't a wide range of target audience that would watch this type of film

Low budget film It wouldn’t be advertised everywhere therefore, not a lot of money would be spent on advertising

Independent Only made for specific audience as not many people are interested/comfortable watching this type of film.

Target audience Target audience details Details Why?

Age 15+ It would be 15 because that’s when teenagers would mature up and would realise what they want.

Gender Male, female Because male and females could both understand and possibly relate to some of the situation

Race/Ethnicity All Races and Ethnicity Because everyone is able to watch it and if they are not allowed it also good to see what people go through even in these situations

Religion All except Christianity and some of Islam where they would say they should be secure. Because they would say that there's a cure how it would be with the same sex,

because they might get offended how they would watch something that they wouldn’t be allowed

Target Audience detail Details Why?

Location In the UK It wouldn’t be in international as it’s a niche audience, and It would only be shown in the UK as it can be restricted in some places because its all about identity

Social Class Any class Anyone can experience the dilemma of seeking there identity

Interests/hobbies They can all have different interests hobbies - All

because it wouldn’t stop those kind of audience to watch identity films.

Social Group All Because the people who are in different groups such as punks can also seek identity

Target audience

Target audience Detail Why?

Sexuality All Because this film has to do with sexuality, so its good for both sexes to know what other people would go through and to see what people’s opinions would be.

Profession/Role All It would be all because everyone has the right to watch these kind of films if wanted, this would mean more people would be aware about these types of situation that some people would go through

Pathe Distribution Company

• Pathe is the name of various French businesses founded and originally run by the Pathé Brothers of France from 1896

• Pathé became the world's largest film equipment and production company, as well as a major producer of phonograph records

Pathe Distribution Company

• Pathe would be great for our opening sequence, as it has distributed transgender in the past, which is called ‘breakfast on Pluto’

• It would be good to have a distribution company that has distributed transgender films on our transgender opening sequence.
