Shot lists

In our trailer we are going to use a variety of shots. the opening shot we are going to zoom in to the red tornado title. In the next bit its going to fade out and alex is going to be opening a door with some tense music then it turns out he is going into his bedroom to see conor gaming.In the next scene we use match on action when alex's phone rings twice one from his mum and the other they get a job to do.we will also use the close shot a lot during this sequence.

we came up with very very little ideas and found this very hard to think of a name but in the end we decided to go with this title Red tornado  which is the man character played by alex valente's name. the other character names are the hawk played by conor redmond and the plague played by me and we all have our own individual mask. Alex's and conor's head will appear in the bottom of the this in the masks.

Comedy fonts

for a comedy films there are many fonts we could use but mainly i have found out that they are rather plain and revolve around ameteurish looking titles but each has its effect on what the audience feel about the film they will watch, some like superhero movie has the effect of the trail of the title as a good superhero effect, also is used in superhero comics.

we would like to use something more along the lines of the cover of the comic superman vs flash frontcover has the same kind of effect that we will use, as it shows the comic book feel and thats the kind of feel we would like to use as our frontcover.

film questionnaire

We then asked the question what is your favourite comedy film the results were interesting with the majority decided hot fuzz was their favourite comedy so we are going to look more into that then the inbetweeners movie was menton bruce almighty and run fatboy run also hangover 1 and 2 was mentionand step brothers. as a group we are all going to look at the films and decide what makes them so engaging and funny.

this pie charts represents the question what do you find funny?

blue:- falling

green:-awkward moment

red:-stereotypes

light blue:-prejudice

The results from this question came out the way i though it would because people generally have always found awkward moments and when people fall, the audience do find it funny so i am not surprised that the results from this question where to to funnies things in comedy from our choices where awkward moments and falling but what did surprise me , i thought that sterotypes would have done a bit better.

this charts shows the research of the question what do you most like to see in a comedy? and this was our results

blue:-comedy movie
green:-slapstick
orange-:pardoy
red:-screwball


when we asked this question i thouht it would be obvious that a parody would be at the top and would be the most popular because there are so many popular parodys that have done so well like superhero movie and many others so when slapstick comedy won i was a bit surprised but i think the results are good because it shows more or less a clear standings between the choices.

soundtrack research

we have started our soundtrack research and we are still not sure whether to make our won soundtrack. We have found out that from this research each charachter will need its own music so for the villian something a bit darker and flat notes where as for the hero we need the music to be jumpy and heroic like in pirates of the carribian. i think that this soundtrack will work for our film so something like this for the heros.
this soundtrack has everything from a slow and epic beggining to the jumpy bit which we would like to get across in our film.

Film questionnaire

we asked a varity of people this question and here is our results. i think that the question asked here is a bit silly but we did get results we didnt think we would get because some people did answer to having a clever twist and a bit of romance in a comedy but 75% still answered the thing they wanted most wasnt a romance of a clever twist they just want to be made to laugh.

this is our film questionnaire

In our search to find the type of comedy people liked we decided to make a questionnaire with these questions. The questionnaire is alright i think but it needs improvement to pinpoint and to be more accurate with the type of comedy and what makes a good comedy film. I think that more questions and a few more options for the audience to choose from we would have got better results but i am still happy with this questionnaire because it asks the questions our group wanted to know.

Adam and will might be in our film as a possiblity if needed.

storylines for comedy

in a classic comedy film the storylines are mostly the same having a girl for the guy to win and a big task for the hero to do e.g. beat the villian in a fight to the death with henchmen along the way. most superhero comedys start of as a geek wanting to be a hero then actually becoming a super hero appearing in the news then becoming well known then other wannabe geeks look up to this new hero and want to be him and attempt it but end up getting hurt.

Transport for film

in our film the film we are not going to use cars or anything because in a conventional film the hero and villian would both have a super tech car which we do not have instead we are going to ride bikes and have knee pads on and helmets this will also be seen as comic because it  is the opposite cliche.

Leg wear for film

for leg wear for the fillm we are going to have cargo shorts but this is not for definate. We would use this becuase it will be cold and this will be seen as comic and hopefully will make our audience laugh. Our second option for leg wear would simplily be jeans just for practical reason or tights because that is what super heros wear.

  we have decided to use the rating of the 15 because we are going to use crude language which would be inappropriate for the younger views of 12 and under so we feel that the rating of 15 is good for our choice of film.
