RESEARCH AND PLANNING; Film Planning

During our brainstorm of ideas we often found ourselves using silly cliche's and funny scenario's for our character to be involved with, this gave us a possible idea of doing a parody film, what started with our film being a serious violent thriller than turned into a silly mockery of all action films before it. We decided as a group that we should stick to a serious film for the following reasons ; we could not come up with the flow of jokes for our trailer that would be necessary to film and that parodying action as well as every other genre has become rather over used with Epic movie, Naked gun, Hot Fuzz and Austin Powers. Our group than agreed that any sense of Pastiche would be inevitable as there have been thousands of films in a similar mould to ours, so if we can make it as serious as possible and use sound effects, camera shots and costume that will make the scene look as realistic as possible than any critic who notices something similar in our film to another will mean we have reached our goal.
