Production Meeting.

On the 23rd of February we had a production meeting and discussed where we are with our feature film openings.


My ideas had changed a lot since I presented my prezi.



Originally I wanted to do something like the Love Actually opening. It has people of all ages being greeted at Heathrow Airport and has Hugh Grant narrating over the top. The reason I moved away from this idea is because of the location and shortage of actors.



My next idea was to do something similar to the opening of 'He's Just Not That into You'. This also has narration. It has a young girl and boy and the narration is the young girl talking but grown up. I was going to do an adaptation of this using a young girl being the younger version of me and then myself. I moved away from this idea as I didn't want to be in the film myself as I wanted to film it. Additionally there were conflicting schedules with me and the child actor. Due to school hours.



My third idea is the one I have settled on. The film is about implied behavioural normacly theory. This refers to a problem being created; for example suggesting you have wrinkles when it had never occured to you and then they present the soloution. This leads you to spending money on a problem you never knew you had. The basic plot of the film is a young girl works in the fashion idustry and she has become to consumed with the media and the media's view on 'the perfect woman' that she becomes isolated from her friends and family. I'm not sure what order the following shots will be in but theses are the shots I have chosen to use:





  • Magazines being thrown on top of each other


  • hands flicking through magazines


  • feet walking


  • reflection in a mirror ( copying a hairstyle from a high fashion magazine)- Graphic match


My film has influences to 'Devil Wears Prada' , 'Easy A', and '13 going on 30'
