Conventions Use/develop/challengeHow?Why?

Similarities/Differences

1. Conflict with friends/family.

Use because in most drama films there is conflict and the resolution is them sorting it out.

2. Follows thecharacters journey.

Challenge, because ours doesn’t really follow the characters journey because you only see snippets.

The family are all conflicting with each other because of an issue.

The differences is that it is about terminal illness not transgender.

The differences are that this follows all of the characters journeys as they learn new things.

Similarities are that they are students and experimenting and gain knowledge of different things.

Genre ConventionsConventions you are applying in opening sequence

Use develop or challenge

How? And why? Similarities/differences to real films

Abuse Develop When she would get shouted at by her mum for wanting to change her identity.

Film: She’s the man This is similar because… She dresses like a boy She does what guys

normally do And her personality and

thoughts are like a guy as well

And her mum is convincing her to start wearing dresses and to forget about football.

fat, Katie's thoughts inside her

And wants her to lose weight from the outside pretends like she cares

Genre Conventions

Target audience

• Our opening sequence is Niche because

Reason Explanation

Not many films have transgender This would be the case because there isn't a wide range of target audience that would watch this type of film

Low budget film It wouldn’t be advertised everywhere therefore, not a lot of money would be spent on advertising

Independent Only made for specific audience as not many people are interested/comfortable watching this type of film.

Target audience Target audience details Details Why?

Age 15+ It would be 15 because that’s when teenagers would mature up and would realise what they want.

Gender Male, female Because male and females could both understand and possibly relate to some of the situation

Race/Ethnicity All Races and Ethnicity Because everyone is able to watch it and if they are not allowed it also good to see what people go through even in these situations

Religion All except Christianity and some of Islam where they would say they should be secure. Because they would say that there's a cure how it would be with the same sex,

because they might get offended how they would watch something that they wouldn’t be allowed

Target Audience detail Details Why?

Location In the UK It wouldn’t be in international as it’s a niche audience, and It would only be shown in the UK as it can be restricted in some places because its all about identity

Social Class Any class Anyone can experience the dilemma of seeking there identity

Interests/hobbies They can all have different interests hobbies - All

because it wouldn’t stop those kind of audience to watch identity films.

Social Group All Because the people who are in different groups such as punks can also seek identity

Target audience

Target audience Detail Why?

Sexuality All Because this film has to do with sexuality, so its good for both sexes to know what other people would go through and to see what people’s opinions would be.

Profession/Role All It would be all because everyone has the right to watch these kind of films if wanted, this would mean more people would be aware about these types of situation that some people would go through

Music and sound

This would be played at the beginning of the opening sequence (non-diegetic sound). This would be at the beginning because: Its slow paced, and there

is no tension at the beginning of the opening sequence

Its not up beat, which means the music corresponds with the footage.

Music and sound

This would be our option 2 to be played at the beginning of the opening sequence (non-diegetic sound). This would be at the beginning because: Because its really slow and

therefore it would work well with Jodie as Jodie is walking slow and thinking which means there should be calm music

However we chose this as option 2 as its really slow and there's choir music in the background which can disturb the audience, this might make the audience focus on the music rather than Jodie.

Music and sound

This would be played at the end of the opening sequence (non-diegetic sound). This would be at the end because: It starts slow then speeds

up as Jodie starts thinking whether she would jump or not

This would also be god because the shots gets faster which builds up tension, and the music would have to correspond with the footage for it to make sense
