The Good Girl - Evaluation

My film challenged forms and conventions of real media products, as most films begin with music. Although all films begin differently they mainly all start with music, for example: Love Actually, Closer, Mean Girls. My film begins with the main character saying her first line “two years ago my life was turned upside down, I am going to tell you my story”. Although, this is similar (developed) to the beginning of Mean girls and Juno where the beginnings of the films are narrated by the main character of both films. Also, my film ‘flashes’ through time which a lot of film don’t do, they start at the beginning of a story.
I feel that the type of intuition that would distribute my film would be a smaller company such as working title as it is a British film. And although working title is part of universal I believe that the film is more likely to attract a younger audience (teens to young adults) and is more appealing to a British audience than to an American audience. Working title would be good for distributing this film for that reason, even though the film would be shown in America it is for a small social group that enjoy this genre.
To attract an audience the audience to this film it has to relate to the audience so as it is about a teen girl in trouble, teens are likely to see the film. Also the genre, the genre for this film is a hybrid genre, a mix of rom-com and drama. This will attract certain audiences, mainly female and young, which is who I aimed this film for.
From making this project I noticed that camera angles and genres are a crucial part of making the film work, as is editing. I found the editing more difficult than the filming as the software was hard to understand at first. Also all of the different effects that can be used in the film was a main part to make the film flow, I chose to use simple effects to make the film run through smoothly.
Looking back at my preliminary task I have found out that it is more difficult working on your own as oppose to in a group where people in the group can act and you can all do what is needed to be done a specific times. Also I have learnt about editing the film and adding effects to make the film look better as in the preliminary task our group did not use any effects.
