Preliminary Research

 This is my Weekly Progress and Plan for Comp 1

What Production Company are we picking?:

    I was suggesting to pick A24 to be the production company but in the end my team decided to not go with that idea, because A24 has a vary district movie style that is consistent with a lot of their movies and it's hard to replicate and it limits our creativity and vision of our project.       

    Our team has decided to go with LIONSGATE since they produced movies what we are targeting in the form of style and tone like American Psycho

What other content do they produce?

    Lionsgate produces movies like American Psycho

What are your thoughts on the video you have just watched?

Film	Genre/Genre Conventions	How did this scene introduce characters, settings and create intrigue?	What did you like/dislike about the intro?
EXTRACTION II 2023	Action Fight, explosion, GUNS, Men, Women, Fighting, bullets, military	The movie starts with credits then small snippets of the movie with thor getting shot in the neck and a woman shouting his name tyler which tells the audience what his name is then a cut to his body falling of a bridge and sinking into the river and then a girl spots his body the shortly there after military men gathers his body and resuscitate him and then a helicopter takes his body to a proper hospital	I liked this intro because it shows the hero or maybe not getting defeated or for a lack of a better word shot and then falls I like that about the intro and then it stops
Pamali Dusun Pocong 2023	Horror. Scary creature, stupid friends, dead bodies, blood, gore, cosmic horror, ghosts, dark lighting, scary songs	The opening scene introduces a man digging a grave and then shows a dead body wrapped in cloth with blood stains and then the scene turns to the dead body that shows it has growths and scars and big signs of infection and then buries the body and then shows the man with the same infection on his leg	I respected the movie for not using a cheap jumpscare in the intro so props to them. I also liked it because of the eerie atmosphere and how it invokes so many questions about the bodies and the man and the whistling is vary scary also
Uglies 2024	Sci Fi. laser guns, pew pews, futuristic tech, robots, space, spaceships, men, women, hydroponics	The movie opens with a backstory of the world, where natural resources were all used up but then the scientists made a truly renewable energy source but oh no human nature is still out and about and then people science the human nature away but only when their 16 womp womp	I HATE this movie kind of, the intro didn’t reel me in and the title wasn’t doing it any favours either the beginning was very generic with humans using all the energy and then war n stuff
(500) days of summer 2009	Romance, boy, girl, man, woman, love, sad music, happy music, crying,	It introduces the characters and makes the audience hooked by showing contrast of character between the man and his love interest and the mention of an old film grounds the movie in a date in time	I like the credits and it’s symbolism and the music sounding home made with no professional experience quite elegantly portrays the youth full innocence of the film
Johnny english 2003	Comedy. Epic funny moments, laughing, big hahas all around, jokes,	The movie starts with a dream sequence of johnny english getting freaky with an enemy the gets out of the dream, and agent one is introduced and dies immediately after then the rest of the agents dies then johnny english is hired to be agent one and does	I liked the intro since it depicts the comedy and tone of the movie almost instantly and johnny english’s personality perfectly

After my team evaluated their choices we have ultimately decided upon the genres Crime/Drama

because we have a lot of ideas that fit within the boundaries of these genres.
