2. Genre & Target Audience
Crime fiction, comedy, drama. During the opening
sequence it will become very clear what the genre is
and who the target audience is.
Adults, older teenagers
3. Setting
Office building. Mid-day. The camera will follow
someone round, showing very expensive
houses/locations/items. It will be obvious that the
character is very rich and well known
Themes and icons – wealth, power, leadership
4. Narrative
It would begin with a short clip of the main section of the film, giving a rough
idea what will happen. It then gives a bit of background information on the
main character.
It will then show the main characters lifestyle, what he owns, what he does for
a job etc.
Next the main characters tells us about his drug issues, all the different drugs
he takes and why and then talks about his life goals and how money is his
drug.
This then leaves questions for the audience like, how has he become so rich
at a young age? Why does everyone love him? How has he achieved the
lifestyle he lives.
As the film would continues it delves deeper into his business and his drug
issues and focuses on the main parts of his life and his friends.
5. Character profiles
Businessman
- tailored suit, obviously expensive
- body well taken care of – hair gelled back and clear skin.
- Expensive watch and other items on show
He has built his earnings and believes he is the most
powerful man in the world, all due to his wealth and fame
and also lead on by the effects of the drugs he takes.
6. Textual analysis
Camera – close up shots of the main character. Long shots of the main
buildings, boats etc. Tracking shots on the main character as he walks
around
Clothing – very expensive suits, very well dressed casually also
Sound – there will be no music, only narrating from the main character
Editing – There will be transitions from one place to another, always
focusing on the main character however it will be mainly following the
main character around instead of using various shots. Footage of the
estates and yachts will be edited in.
Effects – no effects will be used. The only possible place for effects would
be when the characters use the drugs however acting will portray the
effects of the drugs rather than effects
7. Representations
The man will be instantly portrayed as high class and
very wealthy, in his middle twenties. Looks like a role
model to younger people.
As the film would progress into the main section it
would show how the man is at home when no one else
can see him, we see him become a drug riddled waste
8. Institutions
Above is a list of all of the main film institutions and how many films
they have produced for each genre. This is important to take into
consideration because I want an institution with experience with
producing and distributing my film.
9. Mood board
This is American Hustle. This film
also has similar ideas to my film,
such as money laundering and
illegal activities
Wall Street. This film is set
where I want to film my movie
and I could get ideas from it
and also learn more about
what wall street is like
