statement of intent

My aim is to create engaging behind the scenes footage of a new upcoming rom-com movie also including a few scenes from the movie in the three tiktok videos. The movie will be called ‘Except You.’ I intend to include dramatic scenes of the two lovers falling apart with clips of arguments and clips of love. 

I will use representation theories such as Stuart Halls theory of representation, this is the idea that there can never be one true meaning to a media product. The reason to this is to make the audience question everything that happens in the scenes used and keep them engaged with the outcome of this movie. Another theory I will use is Blumler and Katz, Uses and gratifications theory. This theory states that there are audiences that are active in their media consumption and the media consumers choose to fulfil one or more of either; personal identity, information/education, entertainment and/or social interaction. The way i will use this is by using the idea of education and personal identity with the use of the movie being shot in a school and the two lovers are trying to find themselves i will also make sure to tie in the social interaction with the posts by asking for opinions in the comments. 

 I will use funny behind-the-scenes clips to attract my audience of 12 and over. I will also use slightly bright coloured clothes in order to draw in that younger audience. As for the over 12’s i will use some of the slightly more serious ‘scenes’ from the rom-com as well as the funny jokes made. This is a low budget independent film which means they will be working alone without any funding from major companies such as sony or disney, in order to show this it will not look too expensive but still a good enough quality to be a success.
