The document discusses the creator's plans for the opening sequence of a film focusing on gender differences and younger generations. They researched comedy genres like pulp fiction and road trip films for inspiration. The opening sequence will feature mostly male characters to showcase unexplained conflict and touch on sexism through stereotypical portrayals of masculinity and femininity for comedic effect. The protagonist will be a young criminal character to subvert expectations of the criminal role in films. Props and locations were chosen to symbolize rebellion and set a darkly comedic tone.

2. 
The opening sequence of my film
represents the younger generation of
people. It also focuses on differences in
the male and female gender.

The reason I am going to focus on this is
due to the plot and the type of humour I
was trying to achieve.

3. Before even thinking about writing a
script for the opening sequence I did
research into films and the type of
comedy that commonly is used.
 I took ideas from pulp fiction and put it
with things from road trip comedies such
as road hogs .


4. 
From viewing these I decided that
comedy often came out of male conflict
and dominance and this had been less
explored in the comedy industry as it
may scare some people to touch on
sensitive topics in such a way.

5. With this in mind I decided to add in to my
script a mostly male cast. Showing
unexplained conflict between males from
the start and touching on sexism towards
women in a manor which is comedic.
 By adding a woman in the middle of the
conflict who is more worried about the
cleanliness of the house than the dead
body of her husband shows a very extreme
view of a stereotypical housewife.


6. When creating a character to represent
females the way I desired I considered
the dress. Having a woman who was all
dressed up was my idea but then I
decided that just a skirt and a more
casual look was more believable .
 I looked at the way I could show the
males as serious about their motives
while maintaining comedy (see next
slide)


7. Creating the male character I
considered all possible avenues
nationality , social status and looks.
 I decided that if I made the “hitman” a
richer more well off person in a house
which is a bit messy and obviously
mistreated then this would add to the
representation showing how high in
society you can become when you are
feared.


8. 
The second character I thought of
introducing was a run down young
person who was “from the street” a
possible gang member they typical
hoodie wearing sort of person who might
get into some bother with things like
drugs and alcohol and possible guns
and gun running.

9. 
The protagonist role lies with the
character off the street and away from
the organised killing side of things. This
idea that a criminal can actually be the
protagonist hasn’t commonly been used
in films and using this I decided to create
the character and give him a criminal
style feel while allowing the character to
keep his innocence and show feelings
and an element of being humane.

10. 
Although I didn’t feature the antagonist I
considered having someone more
powerful in the criminal world than Stevie
(the protagonist) himself. This would give
an idea of the real world cast system
behind the scenes that no one knows
about. This includes having the person
demand things from the protagonist and
giving a small favour in return.

11. 
The idea that the Rizla is on the bike and
the learner plate is on it implies that
Stevie isn’t actually that old and may still
be trying to find his path. The idea of
time being near still when the gun is
being pulled just adds emphasis to the
fact that although some feel they hold
power that can still change.

12. 
The props were chosen to symbolise a
rebellious feel and a backstreet
atmosphere. Giving the film a feel of
dark comedy feel with the obvious
orange gun and rizla moped . They all
added to the storyline and created a
comedy feel to the movie while keeping
the dark feel that I desired.

13. Antagonist – Stevie (innocence)
 Antagonist – Power
 The Hitman – Conflict
 Props – Conflict, Turn of power, Age
 Location – Messy, Unrespected
