We've almost finished editing!

All we have left to do is put the credits into our film and hopefully that shouldnt take too long. We have created our 'Starship Pictures' clip with a starry/world background and we are in the process of completing 'A film by' and 'Cosmo productions'.


We are going to have a showing of our film opening on Thursday 31st to a small group of our target audience and then intereve them, recording their opinions for part of our evalutations.

15/03/2011 Filming

We filmed the last shots of our coursework peice Tuesday and luckily the weather was good!
We booked an appoint with Mrs Winter who played our Headmistress for 1:45 and had 15 minutes to film. Also, we did a few more close ups so hopefully, along with the credits and titles, our film will be longer :)

Costumes

For our production it was vital the characters were all dressed appropriately to ensure the beginning of our movie looked 'real' and not faked. To do this, Callie (the main character) wore a vest top with barbie on, heels, jeans and a coat as it was very cold! Obviously, this is not what a normal independent girls school pupil would wear, even in the sixth form, but we did this deliberately to make her stand out. The normal pupils from the school wore typical independent school uniforms - blazer, shirt, jumper and a skirt. We also featured some sixth formers and they were wearing suitable, smart clothing.

Weather for Filming!

We will be filming the last few shots of our coursework piece on either Monday or Tuesday, depending on the weather! Heres the forecast for this week :)

Sub genres of the Chick Flick

Tearjerkers

·         Tearjerkers are gal-pal films, movies about family and emotional crises. They are traditionally ‘weepies’ and fantasy-action adventures, sometimes with powerful females and bonding situations involving families and woman’s issues. An example of a tearjerker is ‘The Notebook.’ 

Rom-com

·         Rom coms are films with light-hearted, humorous plot lines, centred on romantic ideas such as true love. Examples of a Romantic comedy are Bridget Jones’ Diary and What Happens in Vegas.

Guy com

·         A guy chick flick is a movie where feelings and emotions are discussed and/or dealt with, but from the guy's point-of-view, and with minimum sap.  They may contain things most guys enjoy, like sport, and strong language, but they are always about guys dealing with life, their futures, or relationships with women, family, and/or friends. Examples of guy coms are American Pie and The Hangover.
