- 23. Conventions Use/develop/challenge How? Why? Similarities/Differences 1. Conflict with friends/family. Use because in most drama films there is conflict and the resolution is them sorting it out. 2. Follows the characters journey. Challenge, because ours doesn’t really follow the characters journey because you only see snippets. The family are all conflicting with each other because of an issue. The differences is that it is about terminal illness not transgender. The differences are that this follows all of the characters journeys as they learn new things. Similarities are that they are students and experimenting and gain knowledge of different things.
- 24. Genre conventions Conventions you are applying in opening sequence Use/develop or challenge? How? Why? Similarities/differences to real films (annotated pictures) Identity issue Use • Suicide attempt because of not finding herself (transgender • Pressure from family and friends to dress as a girl Boys Don’t Cry- similarities Flashbacks Develop • Flashbacks of the characters past memories • Main character is left confused Memento- similarities Female to a male Secretes out and the dad wanting to kill her Having flashbacks Also the character is confused
- 25. Genre Conventions Convections we are applying in opening sequence Use/develop/challenge? How?/Why? Similarities/differences to real films Portrays journey of a character USE HOW The constants use of personal flashbacks, allows the audience to understand how and why the character is in a suicidal situation and the stages of their journey WHY To shows the stages of their journey which establishes character Exhibits real life situation USE Dramatic story line to move the audience USE Refers to characters past to explain how and why he is playing who wants to be a millionaire Film: Slumdog millionaire Film:Train spotting This character wants to get clean, and stop using drugs, which is a real life situation, that people face HOW The main character is so emotionally unhappy with her physical and mental state and could commit suicide this is an emotional storyline WHY Allows audience to experience a feel of apprehension and uneasiness for the audience HOW Shows the daily experiences of a transgender person WHY People with the similar situation may be able to relate to the issues within the film, which is typical of a drama film Film: My lovley bones This film is about a young girl who was murdered by her neighbour. This film has a moving story line.
- 26. Genre Conventions Conventions you are applying in opening sequence Use develop or challenge How? And why? Similarities/differences to real films Abuse Develop When she would get shouted at by her mum for wanting to change her identity. Film: She’s the man This is similar because… She dresses like a boy She does what guys normally do And her personality and thoughts are like a guy as well And her mum is convincing her to start wearing dresses and to forget about football.
- 27. Conventions you are applying in opening sequence Use develop or challenge How? And why? Similarities/difference s to real films Crime use When Jodie commits suicide because of her depression as no one gets her and excepts that she wants to change her identity Film: Man on a ledge This is similar The person wants to commit suicide This would be a crime Genre Conventions
- 28. Conventions you are applying in opening sequence Use develop or challenge How? And why? Similarities/differences to real films Role on the wall use In the outside Jodie is feeling normal but on the inside her thoughts and feelings are completely different. Film: Mean girls Wanting to make Regina fat, Katie's thoughts inside her And wants her to lose weight from the outside pretends like she cares Genre Conventions
- 29. Target audience • Our opening sequence is Niche because Reason Explanation Not many films have transgender This would be the case because there isn't a wide range of target audience that would watch this type of film Low budget film It wouldn’t be advertised everywhere therefore, not a lot of money would be spent on advertising Independent Only made for specific audience as not many people are interested/comfortable watching this type of film.
- 30. Target audience Target audience details Details Why? Age 15+ It would be 15 because that’s when teenagers would mature up and would realise what they want. Gender Male, female Because male and females could both understand and possibly relate to some of the situation Race/Ethnicity All Races and Ethnicity Because everyone is able to watch it and if they are not allowed it also good to see what people go through even in these situations Religion All except Christianity and some of Islam where they would say they should be secure. Because they would say that there's a cure how it would be with the same sex, because they might get offended how they would watch something that they wouldn’t be allowed
- 31. Target Audience detail Details Why? Location In the UK It wouldn’t be in international as it’s a niche audience, and It would only be shown in the UK as it can be restricted in some places because its all about identity Social Class Any class Anyone can experience the dilemma of seeking there identity Interests/hobbies They can all have different interests hobbies - All because it wouldn’t stop those kind of audience to watch identity films. Social Group All Because the people who are in different groups such as punks can also seek identity Target audience
- 32. Target audience Detail Why? Sexuality All Because this film has to do with sexuality, so its good for both sexes to know what other people would go through and to see what people’s opinions would be. Profession/Role All It would be all because everyone has the right to watch these kind of films if wanted, this would mean more people would be aware about these types of situation that some people would go through Target audience

- 47. Music and sound This would be played at the beginning of the opening sequence (non-diegetic sound). This would be at the beginning because: Its slow paced, and there is no tension at the beginning of the opening sequence Its not up beat, which means the music corresponds with the footage. Music name: Native American Website used for free copy right: http://freeplaymusic.com/search/keyword_search.php Person 3&4
- 48. Music and sound This would be our option 2 to be played at the beginning of the opening sequence (non-diegetic sound). This would be at the beginning because: Because its really slow and therefore it would work well with Jodie as Jodie is walking slow and thinking which means there should be calm music However we chose this as option 2 as its really slow and there's choir music in the background which can disturb the audience, this might make the audience focus on the music rather than Jodie. Music name: Kyrie Website used for free copy right: http://freeplaymusic.com/search/keyword_search.php Person 3&4
- 49. Music and sound This would be played at the end of the opening sequence (non-diegetic sound). This would be at the end because: It starts slow then speeds up as Jodie starts thinking whether she would jump or not This would also be god because the shots gets faster which builds up tension, and the music would have to correspond with the footage for it to make sense Music name: Mountains Website used for free copy right: http://freeplaymusic.com/search/keyword_search.php Person 3&4
