Anamatics Video
This is our anamatics without audio due to the fact that we have not developed a music yet. Seeing as we cannot use the Buddy Holly songs as we have not heard from the music company we have to prepare our own song. The characters represented in here are not the ones that'll be used in the film. We have decided to use a different girl and a boy for the brains and beauty section of the film as our original models have been used in the film poster instead.
Set Location
When we were creating our film ideas we decided to set our film in a school setting, because we chose the date for release of january 2012 we decided to shoot our film in the winter so that it ties in with the film release. our school was chosen as the location as we were trying to fit it in with the american high school setting here are some of the images of the possible settings we have.
the outside shot will be used during filming as it looks like a typical school ground. the indoors shot will be used for our film poster. we decided against using an outside setting as we felt it would look better if we used a student setting with students looking at the main characters in a weird way. this would also help emphasise the main setting.
Storyboard
Also as part of our research we needed to create a storyboard so that we could work out how are trailer is going to be filmed, and also how long each clip is, how long the trailer will be, and what will be happening in each clip. This also allows us to be prepared for our anamatics and be ready for the day of fliming.
On the storyboard there are pictures audio and a description of the scene. this is the general idea for the storyboard even though some changes may have been made.

Film Poster And Magazine Font Cover Mock Ups
Before we are able to create our film poster and magazine cover we have to create mock ups so that this allows us to gather an idea of what we want our finished product to look like, and also by doing this we are plan ahead by avoiding as many problems as we can.
we decided to put a background on our film poster which is unconventional. we decided to do this so that the poster wasn't too plain, although plain backgrounds are often used we wanted to use a background that you would look at and think about as it is unconventional. the idea of our poster was to include a parody, so that the poster links in well with our film. these characters are the main characters and are imitating Jack And Rose from titanic, which is the scene where jack draws a picture of rose naked. but instead the male character Buddy is drawing a cartoon character instead. We also decided to put the title in red as it emphasises the romance in the film.
for our magazine cover we decided not to use a real magazine name and to instead create our own. we decided to call ours Movie Reel. We chose this as we wanted to create a name that had the added comedy which it had in the film. the colour scheme that was chosen was red white and blue to symbolise the american theme of red white and blue. the centeral image we chose to use was the two main characters in a romantic hold. to symbolise the romance in our film. as well as our film we included our other groups film titles so that our magazine looks realistic as film magazines often advertise other films.

Film Magazine Research
As part of our coursework we need to create a film magazine front cover. As part of the research for the film magazine we looked at film magazines such as "Total Film" and "Empire" as these are two of the most popular film magazines today, also the layout of these magazine front covers are interesting and attract a lot of attention for the films.
Total film magazine uses the conventional elements to create a layout which is relevent to the new film releases coming out. this film magazine cover shows this by having the magazine title like the different sets in the film inception. As well as this the background is also the same as part of the film in inception. by having Leonardo Decapro in the middle of the film magazine it also attracts the reader to the new film that is being released.

Empire is one of the biggest film magazines that is around, the large image of megan fox also makes the magazine cover stand out as the image is large and contrasts with the simple background. The magazine title is also big and bold so it is easy to establish what the magazine is called. This film magazine also has the conventional layout where it reveals the information about new films that are being released. Also for our film magazine we decided to use the colour scheme of red blue and white for our film magazine as we believe it represents the romcom element of our film.
Distributer
When finishing our research for our coursework, we knew we needed to choose a distributer, as we wanted to create an american film production, it would need to be an american film distributer. when researching other films that had the same spoof comedy elements we wanted in our films such as "juno" or "napoleon dynamite" we decided to look at these films distributers.
this then led us to the distributer Fox Searchlight pictures, this distributer has also distributed films such as "little miss sunshine" and "happy feet". we then decided that this would be our distributer as we want our film to experience the same amount of fame as films this distributer has given them.
when deciding whether to have an american distributer or a british one it became apparent that the decision to have an american distributer was because of the typical american storyline as well as the genre of spoof films and romcoms, we thought that if these types of films were american productions it is more appropriate for us to have an american distributer. As well as this it is a lot harder for a british film to break into the market so it would need american funding.
