Planning-Initial Ideas

Gang film
 
 
 
  • Useful when representing social groups
  • Large cast, problematic
  • Large audience
 
 
 
Chase scene
 
 
 
  • Good camera shots
  • Can include social groups
  • Causes tension therefore gives good impact
  • Music easy to find for the genre
 
 
 
Romantic film
 
 
 
  • Small cast
  • Appealing to a specific audience
  • May not include many shot types
 
 
 
Teen drama about a group of friends
 
 
  •  
  • Appealing to specific audience
  • Can easily include titles
  • Music easy to find for the genre
 
 
 
Mixing ideas
 
 
 
The most compatible ideas are the first two (Gang film and a chase scene) as they can easily intertwine and also provide lots of positives to enable us to reach the highest marks. It also allows us to answer evaluation questions regarding social groups. We can make the genre accessible to a large audience as it isn’t as specific as the Rom-com or Teen Drama.
