Today in media studies we watched a film opening 'HITCH' starring Will Smith.
We analysed how the main characters psychal apearance and charateristics can represent groups in society. This film represented adults wo are searching for love.
There were many different ehtnic groups, people of diferent ages shapes and sizes. they all come from working class.

The main characters in our film opening are Leemar and Khalid. they are both from different ethnic minorities like the couple in hitch. We have picked Leemar for the main role as she is a pretty bangladeshi young girl, girly and very feminine.
We Have Picked iraqi Khalid because he is tall, dopey looking, well dressed. he is representing the more typical dominating man, with cocky attitude.

GENRE-Romantic comedy

The two synopsis's that we have presented are both from the romantic comedy genre. We chose this genre as we all our group members were most interested in it and we believe it will be the most enjoyable to produce into a film.

Synopsis for our rom-com opening!

Example of main characters we would like to use in our real production typical ugly guy falling for a pretty girl & she likes him cause of personality

Group evaluation on the preliminary task

Overall we believe that our task was rather successful. It was much better than our practice run which was just not working because camera work was very stiff and jolted. We used two cameras so our shots flowed better we think this was useful cause we got to catch things from different perspectives which makes our piece look slightly more sophisticated. Using people from our group as actresses was helpful because we didn't have to rely on anyone else. I think we could of improved on some features of our piece for example the zooms could of been a little smoother and we should of attached a microphone to the camera so we could pick up dialogue in more clarity. Which would of allowed us to adjust the background noise levels.
