High School Musical is a musical which is aimed at young children, mainly girls up to teens. There are three of the movies and have become a worldwide success. It is based around two protagonists 'Gabriella' and 'Troy' and shows how they meet and develop a relationship. I will be analyzing the micro-elements which are present in the opening sequence e.g. mise en scene, sound, editing and camera work.

Step brothers is about two 40 year old men that still live with their parents. The brothers meet first time when they move in together where there is some hostility. The first scene is with Brennan (will Ferrell) eating cheesy nachos for breakfast the close up on the nachos lets the viewer guess how old he is then shows that it is a grown man which shows the comedy. The lighting is naturalistic which shows the realistic side of the film. The way dale ( john.c.Reily) is introduced is funny because it shows his dad going to a confrence which is where he meets brennans mum, while dale is playing guitar hero and he asks his dad for money for pizza. The editing is well done because transitions switch between the two showing them in similar situations which works well. most of the sound is non-diagetic which works well because it keeps the film at a steady flow throughout.

Romantic comedy films are a sub-genre of comedy films as well as of romance films. Because of their appeal to women, romantic comedies are sometimes called 'chick flick'

The following videos show our test footage taken around the college, this would benefit us when it comes to filming our real shots so that we don't waste time deciding the frames of the shots. We figured the best positions and distances between the actors and recording equipment and mapped them out so we could take them to the filming location. (The shots are finding positions not showing the quality of the acting so please ignore any laughter). We have slowed each shot down to 70% so we can find any problems with the filming.

Unfortunately, using photoshop for our production company logo wasn't possible because we were not able to make our logo either sparkle, or diamond covered, and as the inspiration for our logo is the Sex & The City film logo we knew that without these elements our logo could end up looking messy and unprofessional. Thankfully "www.photobucket.com's" photo editing offered sparkly lettering, so I made our logo on there. We decided to call our production company 'SSGE PRODUCTIONS', because we all wanted to make our mark on the piece of work, and we felt the best way of doing this equally was to take the first letter from each of our first names (Shaun, Stephen, George & Emily) for a simple, and yet affective company name. Here is my first attempt a our logo;

As we have decided to make chick flick we decided that the Sex & The City Film logo style would be suitable to make ours in. This is because our film opening is going to very girly and very stereotypically feminine and coated in all thing female, from fine jewelery, diamonds to boys, to shopping. This is much like the opening sequence to Sex & The Cityand there film logo is pink and covered in diamonds, so we believe this to be a good inspiration for our opening.
