Individual Blog- Sophie

Our children’s film is a comedy/action opening sequence and what helped us to decide was doing our research on different types of opening sequence. This helped us find our main codes and conventions for our Children’s film. The two main characters are the spy and the business women. The spy is going to be played by Reece who has to exaggerate his character and make himself look like a rubbish spy who doesn’t really know what he’s doing. He is going to make a fool out of himself by falling over and being unable to use the special gadgets. The second main character is me who plays the business women who is getting followed by the spy. At times she does have a slight suspicion that something is going on but isn’t too worried and carries on like normal.


There aren’t many props that we need apart a brief case for the business women to make it look more realistic and more business women like. Reece as the spy is going to have a special gadget pen which looks like a normal pen but isn’t. As I’m the business women I will need to wear a smart skirt, some nice heels to show power and control and a smart coat. Reece however needs to look smart but because he’s not meant to be very good he looks scruffy by wearing shirt and jeans. Reece and I are responsible for our own costumes and props for our own characters.

The location of our children’s film is a sixth form college which looks like a work place and it also looks like the norm for everyday work. And it makes it more realistic for the audience watching doing in place that looks familiar. We don’t need permission to be able to film in this location as this is the only place we are able to film in and we go to the sixth form college which means we have permission.
