Aims and Context

My aim I to create comical humour to an audience by using the four main stylistics; mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound and editing).

In my previous AS level of film and media, I learnt how to use programmes such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premier, as well as learning the four main film language stylistics, camera angles, camera shots, etc. I will be using these previously learnt programmes and topics when creating my film.

As I am creating a 1920’s styled silent black and white film, I have researched other silent black and white films released during this time period such as 'The Music Box' directed by James Parrott, released in 1932 and 'The Kid' directed by Charlie Chaplin, released in 1921, and researching films stars such as Laurel and Hardy and Charlie Chaplin.

I will be taking on all the roles when creating this film (script writer, camera technicican, editor, director and producer). The only role I will not be taking, is the acting role.

I aim to target this film at an older audience as opposed to aiming the film at a younger mainstream audience as due to this films nosalgia, I feel it would be more appriciated and enjoyed by an older audience and an audience that can relate to this style of film.
