- 3. Amy Heckerling Amy left us a video call about her life and where she got her inspiration.
- 4. John Hughes • The whole way through Hughes’s career he aspired others. • When he tragically died, those who knew him commented on the impact Hughes's had on them and on the film industry. Other directors say that their work is his work. • One of his popular trade marks is close-ups of two characters locking eyes with each other. We would really like to include this into our film, the stereotypical love scene which every young girl loves and dreams for one day that they will experience it.
- 6. AnnaSophia Robb • Robb is both an actress and a new coming singer. She recorded a song for a soundtrack titles ‘Keep Your Mind Wide Open’ which was released and went straight into the charts. We love the idea of one of our main characters to be a singer and the soundtrack for the film will be their single, it will present the main emotions and feelings between the couple. This is also supporting the idea of synergy marketing. • She has been in many romance and comedy films throughout her career. For example she played Carrie in ‘The Carrie Diaries’ where she asks first questions about love, sex, friendship and family while navigating the worlds of high school. This character represents the ideas of what our characters will be going through, the age of growing up and discovering new things. Her character applies Janice Winship’s notion of complicity, growing up you get to chose who you want to be and how you’re presented to society and the gratifications she will receive from this. Also Winship’s theory applies women putting themselves in the male gaze which is what Carrie and the girl our main protagonist falls in love with does.
- 7. Victoria Justice • Justice started at a very young age in the celebrity world. She started in 2005 on Zoey 101. • Justice’s trade marks are her high cheekbones and long brown hair but contrasting this she says she is a ‘tomboy’. This applies Judith Butler’s Gender Performance, her natural beauty is seen but the way she represents herself with her clothes and personality. Within our cast one of the girls will be tomboy like, she will hide her real self due to her other friend being the ‘glamour girl’. • Justice is seen as a new upcoming actress in America, she has played many different sorts of characters, some very opposite to her personality. We love her confidence on screen and off, many young girls aspire to be like her and we want our characters to be seen in the same way.
- 8. Douglas Booth Click on Douglas’ face for our Skype call with him the other day!
- 9. Logan Lerman • Lerman plays a part called Louis in Stuck in Love. He plays a character of a young boy, who isn’t very popular but falls in love with a popular girl who gets any boy she likes. He and the girl become good friends and by the end he changes her to being a better person and they fall in love. This inspired us to want one of our characters to be more geeky but still a little bit popular due to his friends. We want him to have a crush on one of his friends but she is ‘too good for him’ but by the end he gets the girl of his dreams. • Lerman is still very young and is seen as a cute, blue eyed boy. Everyone has there secret crush on him due to his personality and blue eyes. We really love this idea of him being the cute innocent boy who throughout the film becomes more confident and you get to know him better throughout.
- 11. Working Title • Working Title Films is a British film production company. • Their parent company is Universal Studios. • We think Working Titles would be the perfect producer for us because our film is very British based with all British characters and is based in England. • It has launched a subsidiary company called WT2 which is an independent production arm which has produced filmed Billy Elliot which became a massive hit in the box office.
- 12. INSPIRATIONAL INSTITUTIONS BRIEF • We are an institutional company with a mass market. • We are post modern, we may challenge some of the conventions e.g. not as a main character; however the parent company will mean lots of dominant ideologies are reproduced, rather than challenged for example everyone wants falls in love. • We will be using Synergy marketing: film and a soundtrack • Using Above the Line marketing • With our producer being a large conglomerate • Being an independent company ‘in spirit’ but a 63% owned by a large conglomerate produce meaning we willbenefit from vertical integration.
