Ideas for Production

The people I'm working with are Rohit, Shivani and Kiran. Reason being is all of our critical investigations link as we are talking about the representations of a black character, it is also different in a way as I'm speaking about an rapper Rohit was speaking about a black actor.

The 3 links to my critical investigation is that we are doing it on representations of black people and ethnic minorities,it will be a comedy reinforcing the stereotypes about black males. Also the genre we have picked will link back to my critical investigation of a hip hop representations.

The elements I have learnt while doing my essay is that we have to be careful when talking about black stereotypes as black males could possibly get offended, so we would have to make sure that we do not offended someone too much.

The target audience will be mainly those of ethnic minority and black males/females this is due to the fact that we are reinforcing the stereotypes about them as a spoof, they will also mainly be of the CDE class so working class and the younger generation, this is also due to the comedic genre of our production.

As we are doing a movie trailer, the production would most likely feature in the cinemas then on Sky Movies comedy or Film4 as these are the channels that would support our genre and film, it will also appeal to Sky comedy as they have a channel that shows only comedy movies and Film4 also shows British comedy films for example; Coming To America

Dark Humour - disturbing subjects such as death, drugs and violence

Wit/Wordplay - More intellectual forms of comedy based on clever language.

Setting - Usually a bright place for example a city or town, for teen comedies mostly schools.

Camerawork - Natural shots, everyone is usually of the same status so mostly mid-shots and close ups. 

Lighting - Would usually be bright due to the comedic genre, usually natural light which make the scene look happy. 

Props - Props would be important in a comedy, so using small things which are funny in the movie 

Characters - usually a contrast between someone stupid and a group of intelligent people, shows the change in status too.

Comic situation - 'narrative comedy' in which it is the developing relationships between characters and the social environment that causes us to laugh.
