• Generic conventions, written text that settings and dialogue are examples of the technique.

Similarities with our film and others of the same genre

Conventions of Step Brothers in comparison to our film.

Clip From Stepbrothers

How different is our film?

This is a clip from the end of our opening scene, this differentiates our film from others as you do not usually see a film about twin girls that has spitting in the opening.

OCD

This is establishing the OCD part of our film as one of the twin girls is very thoroughwith her morning routine of getting ready. Usually when a girl is getting ready you see Someone washing their face yet with this it is a routine of cleanliness and hygiene.

The Differences Between Characters

We established 2 main characters in the first 2 minutes of the film in the opening sequence as you can see they are in different rooms, the lighting is very exact to the room and the character reflecting in them. When you see the OCD girl you notice all the light and the background is light and pretty and clean. When you see the other twin, she is sloppy, smelly we can assume and quite vulgar. We can see this from her sniffing her armpit.

How does your media product represent particular social groups ?

- Although our media product sticks to the themes and conventions of feature films. We would like to think that we have broken the boundary of showing mental health in comedy.

- Our film introduces two characters who are the direct opposites of each other. One of the characters being obsessively clean to the point of OCD, and the other being completely scruffy and disgusting.

- I feel that this product could appeal to teenage groups because it introduces mental health in to a teenage genre.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

• Step brothers was made by Paramount who are a huge mainstream company specializing in big feature films.

• Realistically our film would probably be distributed by an independent company because our film is set locally to London and doesn’t have well known actors in it.

• Our film would probably be distributed by an

independent company also because we would have an

incredibly small budget.

How did you attract/address your audience?

• Our film hopefully attracts the audience by creating an enigma to whether the girls are twins.

• Another way we attempted to capture the audience is by using music that draws attention to the film.
