The document discusses the mise en scene considerations for a chick flick film project. It outlines that chick flicks are typically set in suburban areas like bedrooms, houses, and schools. Costumes will be fashion forward and reflect the characters' personalities. The filmmakers plan to dress the "popular girls" in dark colors to portray them as cruel, and make all other characters feminine except the male lead. Locations will include outdoor parks and malls to emphasize the youth of the characters. Lighting will be high key to create an upbeat mood. Characters will exaggeratedly use gestures like hair flicks but not be overly dramatic. Strict adherence to mise en scene conventions is needed to establish the chick flick genre.

Locations like a house, field, and supermarket provide familiar settings. Costumes like casual, light clothing and a darker jumper are chosen to reflect the characters' emotions.
Short Film Story Idea Development
The document discusses four potential storyline options for a short film about a woman struggling to accept her "son's" sexuality, with the twist being that she is actually talking about her pet dog. Option 1 involves two characters having a dramatic conversation in a house. Option 2 uses split-screen to show the woman ranting on the phone to a helpline operator. Option 3 portrays the woman attending a PFLAG meeting. Option 4 uses a montage to show the woman organizing a gay pride parade for parents, with the twist coming at her speech. Each option highlights pros and cons in terms of production requirements, audience engagement, and conveying the story.
Script and Storyboard Development
This document summarizes the script and storyboard development process for a short comedic film. It began with writing a first draft script to develop the storyline and characters. This was then evaluated by having actresses read and improvise lines to refine the characters and dialogue. A first storyboard provided a visual layout. Feedback led to a second draft script making the conversation more natural and incorporating more comedy. The second storyboard added more detailed shots. Minor corrections were made in the final draft script and storyboard to improve the plot and filming plans.
Question 1 3
This document summarizes how the poster and advertisements for the TV show "The Only Way is Essex" follow conventions of reality television media. It discusses how the posters portray exaggerated personalities of the characters through posed photos and stylistic choices. An example from "Keeping up with the Kardashians" is provided where family members poses represent their roles and relationships. The document also discusses the development of posters for a fictional soap opera "Well Jel" that emulate conventions from "TOWIE" through posed photos, bright colors and text that establish the title, channel and air time.
Mise en-scene post
The document discusses the mise-en-scene elements that will be used in a film opening. It will feature a child dressed in pale, innocent clothing and a distressed mother dressed in mismatched, slept-in clothes. Minimal natural lighting will be used to film in a derelict house at night. A 5-year-old girl and 16-year-old actress will play the roles of the child, wearing a mysterious mask, and searching mother. The mother will have tired makeup while the child's face will be covered. A Latin sign and the child's mask will be the only props. The setting is a derelict manor house surrounded by woods to fit genre conventions.
Casting profiles
This document assigns roles and characters to members of a production team for an upcoming teaser trailer. Connor Michie will play the main character Neil. Jack Cooper will play the Devil due to his availability and height. Aaron McCalla will play the doctor for similar reasons. Bethany Lock will play Neil's partner in a small role. Holly Fairbairn will play Bethany's friend. Aaron Gemmell and Bob Henderson will play small extra roles as pedestrians. Having these roles cast and assigning pictures of the actors will help shape the characters' personalities to match those playing them for a convincing final product.
Second pitch
This document outlines the plans for filming a movie trailer, including details about cinematography, mise-en-scene, props, and sound. For cinematography, there will be high angle shots of an office building and household. Costumes will show the main character's transition from business attire to casual countryside clothes and an apron as a housekeeper. Two houses will be needed - an office building and a countryside mansion. Props include a designer bag, phone, pots, pans and aprons. The soundtrack will start with dramatic music, transition to lighthearted music to imply a romance, and end with happy music suggesting drama.

It analyzes specific shots and how they follow conventions, such as establishing shots, close-ups to show emotions, and the use of color to represent mood. The document also explores how some elements challenge conventions, such as the opening aerial shot and use of non-diegetic music. Overall, it examines how the opening meets, develops, and in some cases challenges conventions of the social realism genre.
media evaluation
The document discusses a media product that uses conventions of teen films, such as stereotypical characters, to tell a story from the perspective of the popular girl rather than the outcast. It will be set in a school and use a yearbook as a prop to convey this. Inspired by other teen films like Napoleon Dynamite, it will not clearly reveal the protagonist at first to create suspense. Feedback was incorporated to improve the opening sequence.
My Evaluation Final
The document summarizes a student media project that uses conventions of the thriller genre. It establishes mood and suspense through realistic settings, building action sequences, ambiguous characters, and an eerie soundtrack. While adhering to thriller conventions, the project also challenges some conventions through unexpected shots and an morally ambiguous main character. The target audience is young adults, represented through the characters, locations, and exploration of stereotypes relevant to that generation.
Pitch Presentation - Group Task
The document summarizes a pitch presentation for an opening sequence to a romantic thriller film. It describes the opening scene showing a house with signs of murder. It establishes the main character as a wife who kills her son after her husband's death and claims someone else did it, but it's revealed her husband is actually still alive. It identifies the romantic thriller genre and conventions like tension music and quick cuts that will be used. It describes the sole character shown as a stereotypical mom to not reveal she is bipolar. It summarizes the audience survey which informed the project and the visual style including costume, lighting, and camera shots to create mystery and tension.
Mise-en-scene
This document discusses the five key elements of mise-en-scene in filmmaking: settings and props, costume and makeup, facial expressions and body language, lighting and color, and positioning of characters and objects within the frame. It provides examples of how each element is used to convey meaning and provide context clues to viewers about aspects like genre, time period, mood, and character relationships. Mise-en-scene allows filmmakers to visually tell their story through intentional manipulation of these elements within the frame.
Ominous
The document discusses plans for a psychological horror film title sequence targeting 15-25 year olds. It will have a low budget since it uses readily available equipment and locations. The sequence aims to get viewers psychologically involved by playing on their fears through fast pacing, music, and cuts. It will introduce the mood, genre, characters and set up the story without being too graphic. Practical challenges include creating props like a killer's journal and filming at an abandoned shed. The titles will be incorporated into the scenes by writing on paper or objects and filming them.
Pitch presentation - Group Task
The document summarizes a pitch presentation for an opening sequence to a romantic thriller film. It describes the opening scene showing a house with signs of murder. It then discusses key elements of the genre, conventions that will be used including music, camera angles and lighting. It outlines the main character as a stereotypical mom whose mental state will be implied, not revealed. It describes the intended audience as teens/young adults. Details are provided on visual elements like costume, location, and camera shots that will be used to set tone and imply tension and mystery without fully revealing the plot.
Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of the social realism genre in three key ways:
1) It features all female characters rather than following the typical male-dominated narratives. This portrays the strong female characters overcoming difficulties alone.
2) It features Asian characters in the leading roles, challenging stereotypes that social realism stories only surround white or black characters.
3) Rather than revealing all backstories immediately, it gradually reveals details about the characters' problems throughout the opening to build intrigue. This pacing technique deviates from conventions.
Question 2 evaluation
In their media product, the social groups of teenagers and young adults are represented. The two main characters are between 16-17 years old to appeal to the thriller genre's target audience. Their outfits, like the female character wearing a skirt and cropped jumper and the male in skinny jeans and hoodie, reflect typical clothes for these age groups. Camera angles also represent the social roles, with the male at low angles to seem powerful and the female in close-ups highlighting her vulnerability as a typical vain teenage girl. The goal was to create tension and mystery that the target audience would understand and empathize with given their similar ages to the characters.

Chick flick pitch
The students wanted to make a chick flick film for their class project that would be interesting yet approachable. They propose a plot where the main character falls in love with another girl after moving to a new town. This would challenge conventions by having a same-sex relationship as the central storyline. The film aims to still be relatable to a wide audience like traditional chick flicks through humor and addressing how love can be experienced across different sexualities and genders.
Shooting Schedule
The filming timetable outlines 3 scenes to be filmed on the 2nd of March 2014. The first scene will introduce the stalker and be filmed at Brodies Café in Bromley using an iPhone 4 and coffee props. The second scene will show the stalking commencing on Bromley High Street and surrounding roads. The third scene will take place on Southlands Road and involve a white car to imply somebody is watching.

Script

When the victim does pass by, he abruptly ends the call and follows her. The scene then switches to an undercover police car that spots the woman being stalked.

Mise en scene
- 2. Chick flicks tend to be set in suburban areas. Bedrooms and houses are key locations as well as schools. There is often heavy use of high key lighting. The costume always tends to be very ‘fashion forward’. Props and costume are usually a direct mirror of the characters personality. Characters tend to be very over animated. What do I know?
- 3. We plan to dress our characters in a way which is ‘fashion forward’ connoting idealised ideas of youth Our ‘popular girls’ will be dressed in darker colours in order to highlight that they’re cruel characters We will make sure all our characters (excluding Jonathan, the lead male) will be dressed femininely to exacerbate the ‘chick flick’ genre. Costume and Props Our lead male Jonathan will be wearing glasses to highlight his ‘nerdy’ persona Our female characters will be shot with shopping bags and mobile phones to satirise young females
- 4. We will use a bedroom set to show Abbie and Jonathan’s conversation to remind the audience that the characters are still young Much of our film will be set outside in parks and shopping malls in order to again exacerbate the fact that our characters are young and care free Location
- 5. We intend to use high key lighting throughout. The effect of this is that it should lighten the mood of the film and will be one of the key features which create a light hearted and up beat mood as conventional of the genre. Lighting
- 6. Chick Flicks and renowned for having ‘over-animated’ characters We don’t wish to make our characters too dramatic as this could come across as very fake and cheesy In saying this, we intend for our characters to exaggerate their actions often through the use of ‘hair flicks’ and both facial and hand gestures Behaviour and Actions
- 7. Overall we intend to use lots of genre conventions in reflection to the mise en scene for our film. The reasoning for this is that mise en scene is at the very core of any genre. Where cinematography, editing and sound can be followed more loosely, it’s imperative that mise en scene is nailed down in order to reflect the themes and messages of a chick flick. Conclusion
