our groups logo ideas:
as a group we decided to call ourselves star productions, we have made a few logo ideas and we have a poll on our blog to ask people which logo they prefer.
institutions which are related to the genre chick flick:
neo classic films: is the film company associated with the film st trinians
they produce a lot of low budget films that are genres like chick flick, romance so as a company are aimed at more of a family audience.
nickelodeon: is mainly known for there main business as a children's channel, so already has a reputation of screening films for younger audiences, nickelodeon teamed up with paramount to help produce Angus thongs and perfect snogging.
paramount: paramount produced the very successful film mean girls, paramount is a very large company and the film hard a large amount of funding the film was aimed at from young teens to young adults. mean girls was the most successful chick flick that paramount have backed.
conventions of the genre chick flick:
typical conventions of a the chick flick genre:
- typically in the narrative there will be a weak character that is a "geek" or finds it hard to get socially accepted, then there will be a lot of popular girls but one main popular girl and the "geek" and the popular girl will both like the same boy but the "geek" will become popular in the end and the boy will fall for her.
- normal location for chick film genre films would be in a school or a flat or built up area (i.e. in an around New York city for american adult chick flicks).
- the themes that you would associate with the genre chick flick would be: love, revenge, action.
- typical outfits that people where in this chick flick genre films vary it could either be: very stereotypical wear, high fashion, quite "sexy", or them main characters can wear what would be stereotyped as quite "nerdy" clothes.
- the typical type of filming you will associate with this genre is that if its a British film it will be quite natural lighting, but if it is an american chick flick then they will use a lot more un-natural lighting and there characters will tend to have a warm glow,where British actress's in the genre chick flick tend to look quite pale and natural.
location shoot
this is the location shoot that our group has decided here to film because we are filming in a school setting it is very ideal that we film around the college. these are some very good place to film because you have a lot of angle options that you can use with the camera.so this is where our two minute film opening will be filmed.
