The final concept that we as a group decided to work on to make a film was old social norms vs social differences in terms of gender. The reason as to why we as a group decided to to go for this concept is because we wanted to tackle the issue of genders, not being able to mix clothing for comfortability due to the judgment that this could bring to people in society. For example, if a man was to wear a skirt he would receive heavy judgement for this, with people assuming that male would be gay, gender fluid etc, where it could be just for comfort and people being more open to their sexuality. Therefore as a group we decided to make a short film on this to potentially open the minds of people in society to being more open on genders, being able to mix and match clothes for comfortability or other reasons.

How are we making the film?

In order to make the film we have planned to use the studio as our location to gather the footage we need. To the studio we will bring a stool, tripod, different clothing and a camera as these different components will be needed to make our film. Moreover, we will be having our male model positioned in front of a green screen. The reasoning as to why we are using a green screen is so that we can edit the video to change the colours of the background in order to show the transitions through the genders with the outfits we have our male model wearing. Once we have our camera set up on the tripod, the camera will be recording the whole shoot with our model moving in and out the shot in different outfits. Once we get to the editing of the film, we will be getting snap shots of the film in order to gather images to edit for the final shot for our final edits. Moreover, we will be having some dialogue being put in the film which will be covering the social stereotypes on gender and how people could be more open minded to this social issue of gender stereotypes and expectations. Finally, we also decided that we will put some little animated doodles on the film so that it isn’t boring for people watching it as they will have other things to gain their attraction.
