Music Video Treatment

Scene 1:

A teen walks through a pathway towards Greenford Broadway. The video is about a normal day in the life of two average teenagers. The camera is in a perspective view and is switched views between the two teenagers throughout the video. They both meet up outside a library and they are thinking of what to do.

Scene 2:

After wondering what they should do to spend the day, the camera fades to diffrent places around Greenford which they could go to, to have fun at then fades back to the teens who start to walk out of shot. After, there is a sped up shot of the teen walking to the park. Each teen is doing something different.

Scene 3:

When they finish, they attempt to find something else to do. During their search, one of the teens says to the other that he is hungry so they make their way to a fast food resuraunt (KFC). The camera view then changes and the camera is now behind them. As they walk into the resturaunt, there is a fade to the next shot where the teens are walking out of the resturaunt.

Scene 4:

 After walking out of the restaurant one of the teens look at their wrist(no watch 4 comedy) to see the time in the afternoon. After realising that one of the teens needs to be home at a certain time, they both rush to a bus stop and the camera cuts to when they are both on the bus making their way to the place of where they 1st met up to say their goodbyes.

Representation



Non-American people in the film Django Unchained are portrayed as a hero, a slave owner, or a slave. Black people being slaves are one of the stereotypes in this movie and makes the black people look powerless and defenceless. This portrayal is honest because it’s a historical event however, there may be black people that are offended by this film. The women in this film are represented as scared and submissive. This is because they were also slaves so they were forced to do housework otherwise they would be whipped. Another representation for women is that they are treated as a low rank of power. They have the same punishment as men but are sometimes used for sex even if they didn’t want to do it. This is because black females would be seen as unlikely to take a stand to the slave owners before the men do. The man who attempts to save the slaves, Dr. King Shultz (played by Christoph Waltz), is German but portrayed as a father figure or a mentor. This is because he teaches Django (Jamie Foxx) how to fight against the slave owners. The white men in this film are presented as powerful, aggressive and rich. This is because of the movie being historical. Most white men in the film are shown as very strong. Leonardo Di Caprio plays a rich man who treats the slaves like toys. For example, he forces two of the slaves to fight each other in front of him.

Film Production:Our own movies

8 years after retiring from the army, four ex-soldiers are reunited by a former sergeant and use their army knowledge to rob a city full of banks. The symbiotic synergy get ready for anything they’re going to face. This movie is a hybrid between ‘Ghost Busters 2’ and ‘The Heist’. This movie will appeal to ages 16-30. The movie is based around four former soldiers who ‘coincidently’ meet. They were tracked down by a former army sergeant and now he wants to use their skills to rob several banks in one city. Consequently, they didn't prepare themselves for the people who were going to try to stop them. They’re going to need an impressive tactic.

Movie Trailer Analysis

The first trailer that I've chosen is 'Remember the Titans'. The story is that the races black and white hate eachother. After a black American football coach arrives in the town, he forces the two races to work together in an American football team. The genres of this film would be drama and sport because the movie is jam packed with scenes that want to cry and scenes that show you how they bond during their games.         
                   
The second trailer I've picked is 'The Amazing Spiderman'. The story is that a teenage scientist gets to visit a famous lab and discoves a room full of spiders. One of the spiders bites him, and he later gain strange powers. He decides to use them for good. The genre of this movie would be a fast paced action because most of the film os fighting and there are scenes that make you jump in amazement.

The third trailer I've picked is 'Interstellar'. The story is that a man is told the human race is in danger and the only way to save it is go to space. This means that he would have to leave his teenage daughter with the people sending him off. The genre of this film would be sci-fi drama because some viewers would cry when he has to leave his daughter and most of the movie is in space.
