Copyright Permission for soundtrack

Because we planned to start our film with a songtrack we had to look at various songs we thought would fit with out openning and finally chose You got the love by Florence and the machine. This fitted because it wasnt to dramatic but was about love and it is also a popular song at the moment with out target audience. We had to ask permission to use this song so that we didnt break any copyright laws and therefore emailed Island Records. This is proof that we emailed them.

Ratings

Also known as a 12A

This category is awarded when the film is only suitable for children aged 12 and over. An adult may take a child under the age of 12 if they think the film is suitable for them to view. Moderate language such as "bitch" can be used.

We decided to make our film a 12 because typically romantic comedies are of this rating because of scenes of a sexual nature. Even though our film doesnt show anything like this it is only the first 2 minutes so sexual things and swearing may come on later in the film.

All of our media influences:

• Love Actually


• 17 Again


• P.S I Love You


• The break up


• Along came Polly


• It's complicated


• 10 things I hate about you


• How to loose a guy in 10 days


• The notebook


• Angus, Thongs and Perfect snogging


• Music and Lyrics


• He's just not that into you


• She's the man

These influenced us because they are the same genre that we are looking at therefore we could look at these and get ideas from them.

Questionnaire results 2

We asked our target audience which story line they preffered. As you can see most people preffered the story line about a contrast between 2 girls who are with the same boy. By asking this question it means that our opening will appeal to more of our target audience.

We asked this question to see how important they think dialogue is within the first 2 minutes of a film. The results to this question means that we will know how much we should add in. So going ahead we decided to only add a few sentences in because otherwise the dialogue would over do the sound track.

We asked this in order to know where to put the title. Our target audience were split and therefore we thought that it wouldnt matter to much where it goes. Going ahead we decided to put the title of our film at the end of the film as that way people would remember it more.

Questionnaire 2

We came up with another questionnaire after we had collected the results from the other questionnaire and did our directors pitch to see what people prefered. This would also help us reach out to the right targer audience.

We have come up with two opening story lines for our film coursework, could you please fill out this questionnaire to help us chose the best one, and make sure we have included everything we need to.

1.) Which story line do you think sounds most fitting to the genre?

- A contrast between 2 girls who are with the same boy

- A boy and a girl getting together

2.) Why?

.........................................................................

3.) Do you think dialogue is important to be used in a film opening

Yes Don’t know No

4.) Do you think the title should be shown and the start of the opening or at the end of the opening?

Start End

Thank you! J

Film name ideas

I first wrote down some words that sum up the film and I then put some names of current films. I then came up with some names to call our film and asked out target audience which one they would prefer. I then came down to two names- Morning George and The Problems with George. I asked again which one they would prefer and out of the two they prefered The Problems with George. They thought that this name was more catchy and would mean that after the opening the film could be based on more than just their morning and their love for George.

Film Production Logo

We came up with soem initial ideas before we decided which one we would use. We used the letters ELE because it is combined with all of our names (Emma, Lizzie and Ella). Another thing that we also decided to use was such things as stars and hearts because we assocciate these kind of things with girls, our target audience. We decided to do them in black and white first and then when we chose which one to use we then would add some colour. Also by using all different fonts we could see which one looked the best.



This is the logo that we decided to use on our final product. I chose to use pink because it is a very girly colour and will therefore reach out to the choosen target audience. I used a star because again it symbolises what girls like. The curvy/ flowy letters make the logo stand out more and more eye catching. However when we put it on our film the colours changed so it wasnt as pink as we wanted it. Even it is still slightly pink it is not what we initually wanted to have as our logo.
