My pitch.

Character profile.
As a group, we understand that the characters ultimately make out opening. If we do not cast correctly then our opening scene will appear as though we haven't planned for the opening and this may cause us to lose marks, which we aim to not

Costume and Character Research
Because our group have decided to create a Hybrid genre we need make our characters as versatile as possible to fit the specific genre. For example, the fact we have chosen to include a drama, and romance we need to be able to create characters that can fit all genres. As we understand a girly blonde rich girl may not fit the idea of being in crime, therefore perhaps we need to create characters that have some sort of grunge-like look. I will be using a mix of description and pictures to help explain and illuminate possible ideas we may want to include in our coursework. To begin with, I will research stereotypical characters in various genres.
General characters in crime:
One example of stereotypical characters in crime are the characters in the film "Taken." the daughter Kim played by Maggie Grace. The stereotypical conventions which I found tend to be the within the victims are the hairtype, which tends to be blonde- there is a great stereotype regarding this heairtype. Normally, the asociation is being more vunrable, even to the extent of being dumb. Blondes are considered less powerful even in most work fields the brunettes tend to be working high in management whislt the blonde girl works as a receptionist.

Potential Target Audience
Due to the significance of the conflict found in our opening scene, it obviously restricts us in terms of target audience. It would be ideal for our opening to target everyone of all ages. However, it will most likely be watched by teenagers and young adults. Perhaps its because we discuss and explore issues many of the audience can relate to.
An example of a genre which has a selected target audience tend to be romantic comedy. In which the target audience tend to be young girls to young women. An example of a romantic comedy may be "The Backup Plan" featuring award winning actress Jennifer Lopez aka J-lo and Alex O'Loughlin. Released in April 2010, overall making 125 million dollars. Like our future opening, "The Backup Plan" highlights a problem many middle aged, successful, single women face. The need to have a baby. Throughout the movie we discover that eventually she does become lucky and conceive a child however she has to pick between the man (O'Loughlin) or her baby.
We may want to consider just how much romance we wish to include in our Hybrid genre opening. As too much may become stereotypical and to some extent a parody. Also, there are different genres which may attract the However there are various films created to target a niche audience. For example "The Godfather" is mainly aimed at men and perhaps older men. The dark gangster crime filled with action. appeals more to men, having a niche target audience can help, as well as limit your audience. If we chose to create an opening for a niche target audience then we may have to change our genre because by creating a hybrid genre it appeals to more people, by simply meshing two or more genres. It is also another way to introduce those whom may not like genres such as romance and crime.
\
On the one hand, our group aim to include romance, we also need to include drama- with particular focus on relationships as the conflict routes from the relationship. One film currently known by various people of all ages (over 12) and has consumed the minds of practically everyone - TWILIGHT. Similarly we aim to follow a similar concept of two people being separate because of boundaries and prejudice.
The Twilight saga first came to our cinema screens in November 2008, and from then has broken numerous records. The first movie Twilight grossed by $382,133,300. Based on a book it highlights the life choices Bella the protagonist has to make in order to stay in a relationship with Edward, who is a vampire. This film will help us gain an idea of what issues we can include to make our target audience varied. issues such as love, adultery. We realise that there is an extent into the issues we input in our opening that may affect various audiences, but also has to have a sense of realism. We aim to input

We've come up with the idea to have two people living their lives but in real time with a split screen. The spilt screen will show them living their lives aswell as emobdoying the actual spilt that they have to go through. Because we want to show the spilt even more we will start with an establishing shot of a house and zoom into a sticker saying alla which will be over a door.
This will then dissolve into a shot of the main character getting ready to go to Arabic lessons, therefore she will be washing her face (ablution) when shes washes her face we will hope to do an action match in which we get various shots beginning with a close up shot of her washing her face, except the camera will be from underneath the sink. then perhaps a profile shot from the side of her washing her face and then a high angle shot of her washing her face.
The high angle shot will embody someone else watching her perhaps god. When she puts on her headscarf. this shot wil be a reflection of her putting on her headscarf in the mirror.
As she leaves the house and checks her phone, we will zoom into the phones screen to highlight who she will be meeting which will be her (secret) boyfriend at a certain time. Her mums saying be back home at this () time see you.. Love you etc.
AT THE SAME TIME (split screen) the main male character and his friends are outside walking to their destination, we will also do an action match of his shoes from different angles. (meeting point for both of them) they might talk about their friends relationship between him and her and telling him, we will then do various over the shoulder shots and shot reverse shots of they're converstaions. “ah look you could be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t have all these problems and all these secrets” and he could say something pretty touching and powerful, something that represents their relationship between each other. His friends leave him to walk alone and they both walk.. action match here and there and they meet.. (just one screen now, no split screen) perhaps a close up when he places his hands in hers as they continue walking. Action match again to show their body language and facial expressions, she talks about her stresses about their relationship.

During the week we met after school to discuss and decide on a final design for our logo. We didn't want to complicate the design too much and wanted viewers to see the image as what we represent, rather than adding more images or writing we decided to keep it plain and simple. As well as the logo we also plan to create a small edited clip as a welcome video for readers on our blog.

Hi there! As Phoenix entertainment we have chosen our genre to be an urban hybrid which is a mixture of drama, action and romance set in contemporary society. We have researched different generic conventions such as romance, action and drama. with the hopes to include these conventions in our opening scene.
As a rough idea we want the main idea to surround the idea of a relationship between two people of different races. Both who receive great prejudice for the colour of their skin. this then accumulates to a bigger issue which causes some sort of divide within that society. We also want to explore a current conflict within our society. We have chosen to use the idea of a conflict because of the opportunities it gives in terms of filming and editing.

Micheal:
Yoo..

I love travelling I've been to 18 countries and I defiantly want to carry on and go to the moon :D I love creative industries such as performing arts and media and hopefully work in the industry. So far I've done a bit of work within the industry being a supporting artist in The cancer research advert 2011, a film called The Sweeney featuring Plan B and worked with various people from the creative industry.."
