Statement of Intent
My film will involve the dominant signifier, being a boy who is simply just playing football, but showing immense technical skill and dedication to his play. Unknown to him, a scout is watching his every move, who then approaches the boy and offers him a big opportunity after watching him play and seeing him stay outside to train after his session. My two film posters and sequences would feature the protagonist before the big disruption in the story, being excited about the offer he’s just received and the opportunity to really experience the footballing world, and then the climax, with the protagonist crying in an office about how his career is declining due to a lack of management or real focus on the legal restrictions and requirements presented by the world of football. His agent, who really did not like the boy but saw the financial benefit in sticking with him, is trying to comfort him however he knows deep down that it was his fault for not giving the boy everything he had to maximise his chances of success. The pathos should be significant here, with a lot of sympathy for the protagonist coming into effect. My website will provide a simple yet effective means of navigating all that the production has to offer, with a home page, contents, sequences page, and a page for the posters at a minimum. It will have a simple yet sleek design to make it easy to use for a variety of audiences, and this is important because the production will be rated 12, so many people from younger audiences will be actively engaging with the product and using the service of the website. The type of audience which would consume this product is one of young people, typically males, who resonate with football well and often dream about growing up to be a footballer themselves. The type of institution who would release this kind of film would probably be a mainstream one, with perhaps ties to sports clothing, a sports brand or even with relations to football video games.
