Starting on the final film

The first thing we had to decide before working on our final film, was the genre. As advised by our teacher, we had to work in groups. I am working with my partner Humaira, the same person I worked with on the preliminary video. Humaira wanted to do a romantic-comedy, but I wanted to do drama. We eventually decided on doing a romantic-comedy/drama film. We sat down and made a list of films that we both liked, and the kind of film we would want to make.

Our list of films:

1.Beastly. Dir. Daniel Barnz. Perf. Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens. CBS Films, 2011. Film.

2. Life As We Know It. Dir. Greg Berlanti. Perf. Josh Duhamel, Katherine Heigl. Warner Bros., 2010. Film.

3.The Pursuit Of Happyness. Dir. Gabriel Muccino. Perf. Will Smith, Jaden Smith.

Columbia Pictures, 2006. Film.

4.Killers. Dir. Robert Luketic. Perf. Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl. Lionsgate, 2010.

Film.

5. 27 Dresses. Dir. Anne Fletcher. Perf. Katherine Heigl, James Marsden. 20th Century Fox, 2008. Film.

6. Raise Your Voice. Dir. Sean McNamara. Perf. Hillary Duff, Oliver James. New Line Cinema, 2004. Film.

7. Soul Surfer. Dir. Sean McNamara. Perf. Anna Sophia Robb, Carrie Underwood. Tristar Pictures, Film District. 2011 Film.

We basically wanted to do a commercial film that would apeal mostly to the younger generation, mainly teenagers from the age of 13 onwards. But at the same time, something that would seem interesting to the older age groups as well.
