Costume

I believe costume is a very important part of film therefore I will look into and plan my costume in great detail. My ideas so far are these;

-          Six year old Chloe – a fancy dress costume something like a fairy or princess to show how young and naive she is.

-          Ten year old Chloe – in typical clothes a ten year old would ware, shorts and a top with a slogan maybe.

-          15 Year Old – a teenage ion school uniform with lots of make up on badly applied messy hair short skirt, a typical stereo type of a teenage school girl.

-     20 year old - A model in high fashion, clothes made to fit perfectly, makeup done perfectly.

Characters

As I progress my ideas more I have thought more into what actors and actresses I want to use in my film opening and what kind of characterisation I’m going to do. My main protagonist is shown at many stages of her life. My film will open with a young six year old girl talking about what it is she wants to do when she’s older, saying this that are tot6ally unlikely that most six year olds would due to their imagination. I want this character to be the age of six and I have got someone in mind, they will act innocent and naïve; this will then lead onto the protagonist at the age of ten, they will also be naive and say things such as she wants to be like someone such as a pop start, I will then stick to this idea of the character wanting to be like someone else, this will develop more when the next age which will be a teenage around the age of 15/15 says she wants to be a model with some of that naivety gone. Finally the protagonist that the film would be based on is a young woman around the age of 20, is make her look just like a model would with heavily made make up and fashionable clothes, yet when the makeup is removed she looks just like a normal person. This is the idea that women and girls feel this great pressure to look and act the way they feel they should, and also the ‘glamorous lifestyle’ is not how it’s always made out to be. If this film was to progress it would be about how this girl and her lifestyle, it could go two ways I could turn it into quite a dark film about all the damages its caused this woman or into a light hearted chick flick this is what I am still undecided on.

Developing Character

Characteruzation - is the sum of all observable of a human being, everything knowable thorugh their character such as age and IQ, sex and sexuality, style of speech and gesture etc. All the different aspects of humanity we could know by taking notes on an individual, all these different areas placed together makes a person an individual. The singular assemblage of tarits is characterization... but is not chacter.

Character - This is the person on the inside where as characterization is about what you look and act like where as chacter is who you are when your placed in difficult poostions and if you are a trustworthy or outgoing person for example.

The revelation of true character in contrast or contradicion to characterization is fundamental to all storytelling. Life teaches this principle - 'what seems is not what is'.No matter what they say or do the only way we ever come to know characters in depth is through their choices under pressure.

target audience

In our session today we learnt about targeting the right audience and the importance of thinking about this before you start creating your film as in the past many films have totally flopped leading to them losing out on a lot of money. Its important to focus on a certain audience to help promotion and advertisement for your film.

Communicating clear film genre -
- having a clear genre helps to sell to certain audiences
- people look for things they believe will be a 'safe choice' so will often go to the cinema with the intention of watching a film due to its genre.
- some audiences simply don't like trying new genres they stick to the same one each time.
- defining the films genre able's it to be brought into the sphere of a more mainstream audience.

Different audiences grouped -
Mainstream only: These people only see the big mainstream hits and nothing else.
Mainstream Plus: See the mainstream hits, but also dip into specialised now and again.
Aficionados: Whilst they like to associate themselves with specialised films and do indeed view them, they are still disproportionately viewers of mainstream titles.
Buffs: Usually reject mainstream cinema as a first choice; always seek out specialised films; often members of film clubs and societies.
