Scene dopped

I've had to drop one of the scenes from my films due to already going over the five minute limit and the actor I had chosen having some personal problems at the moment. The scene that is being deleted is the scene in the studio with the producer, this scene isn't vital to the story, and only fills in some character development for SoundBomb 2000.

Editing

I have begun editing my current footage into place for the final product, I have already encountered problems such as sticking to the storyboard and original lengths of scenes, this has led to me having to consider dropping scenes and content from the film.

Aims and Context Version 4

Aim – I am making a short film, my target audience will be film fans, music fans and young adults aged between 17 and 25 primarily male and middle class, this is because of the content in the film, the references that are made and the behaviour of the characters which mainly appeals to this target audience. The main influences behind this film are This is Spinal Tap (1984, Rob Reiner, USA) and Metallica – Some Kind of Monster (2004 , Joe Berlinger, Bruce Sinofsky, USA) I will be using Mise-en-Scene and Editing for my main stylistics. I will be using Mise-En-Scene in a way to emphasise the time period (1983) this will include characters costumes, props and locations. The purpose for my film will be to evoke laughter and pleasure from the audience, and even nostalgia for the older viewers, this will be achieved with the music and the way the characters talk.

My film will be a short film, five minutes in length. The title of my film with be called “Being Soundbomb 2000”.

As they’re walking to a café they meet a young female fan called Daffodil who is crazy about Soundbomb 2000, after a visit to a studio it becomes apparent that Soundbomb 2000 doesn’t write his own songs and his story to how he became signed is somewhat hard to believe for someone who is now so famous. After they return back to Soundbomb 2000’s home studio Walter goes to get some food, upon returning he finds Soundbomb 2000 and Daffodil in bed together with Soundbomb insultingly telling him to leave, showing that Soundbomb 2000 only seemed to like Walter until women appeared, then he immediately is resistant to help Walter anymore showing that Soundbomb 2000 doesn’t live up to the “good guy” image that the media portray him to have.
