Does our product support or challenge Marxist theory?

The marxist theory is the belief that capitalism is wrong and the world should be communist, marxist believe that the media is a way to control the proletarian (workers) I am not sure how this is linked to our film idea, but it is a good theory

Outline how our product incorporated the feminine mystique?

Our product does not focus much on the feminine mystique, as our product is short drama film, the main aspect of it is the confusion. There are two girls in the film talking about how much they like their boyfriends and end up fighting each other the misunderstanding of thinking their boyfriend is cheating on them. This shows a bit of the feminine mystique, because it shows that the girls think they need a man to make them happy.

The male gaze is also incorporated in the product, because the females are going to meet their boyfriends, so they want to look nice so they are wearing more revealing clothes in contrast to their flashback scene, because they want to look nice.

The female gaze is the theory that women objectif men gazing at them, but its said that they only copy the males behaviour, there is not much female gaze in our product that i am aware of.

Completed response to brief

I have completed my new response to brief that goes with the changes we made to our idea, we are still making a short film, but now the genre is drama. The next thing I aim to do is complete my treatment.

Taking pictures

On saturday the 19th of September our group went out to croydon and found a park and decided to take pictures of the scenery,we took a variety of different shots, such as zooming in, zooming out low angle shots. We think that this should be the scene of the girlfriends having their flashbacks, because these flashbacks are happy memories of the couples and we thought a park is a typical location couples may go. We intend to have the main scene in either a cafe or someones house, we will take pictures of this later when we have clarified our location, heres are the images below of the park flashback shots:

Back to school

We've come back to school from our summer holiday and have reviewed our coursework ideas, and have decided to make a few changes, we felt that our previous idea was to complicated to created so we wish to make it simpler and would like to create a twist at the end. I have made a survey to see what type of ending our target audience would like.
