Introduction

For our media coursework i am going to be doing a film. I am doing it with Toby, and at the begining we have to choose a film genre to be able to fufil the task. The task is to make a 2 minute opening sequence to a film.

The type of film generes that we have thought of doing are:
Comedy- an example is the hangover -

Crime & Gangster- an example is the godfather

horror- an example is insidious











sport- an example is goal




With the comedy, we think this would be good because not many people have done this before, and there is alot of choices for an opening sequence that we can choose. Also there are a lot comedy films which we can get ideas from. However we think it might be quite hard to make, because we might have to make it funny, and if it not, then it wont represent the comedy.

Crime and gangster was also one of our choises. This is the one which we think we are going to use. This is because it is different and it might be good one. Like comedy there are alot of oppotunities which we can film and we can get ideas from films like badboys.

We are not using horror because you can ruin the concept of a horror, because it is easy to make it not scary and look fake. Also loads of people who do this coursework do horror, and so it is very common. Also it is probably the easiest genre to do and is not that much of a challenge.

Finally we had sport as an idea. This would be hard to as there arent that many film to get insperation from, and also it might be too hard to film, and it easier to make it look bad rather than make it look good. Also there are only so many camera angles we can do, and with film like goal, alot of it looks fake and is computer animated which we dont have access to.

So overall we are going to do a crime and gangster film because there is alot of insperation and we believe we can achieve a good mark by doing this.
