film institutions


The type of company that would endorse our film would either be columbia pictures or 20th century fox.
columbia pictures:

columbia pictures would be suitable for our film because they have been institutions for other films to a similar genre such as the 'bad boys'films aswell as S.W.A.T. both of which were quite succesful films.

20th century fox:

20th century fox would also be suitable for our film because they are associated with big action packed blockbusters that are audience would expect from an action film, they would expect alot of special effects etc becuase of the genre of the film and 20th century fox are associated with using lots of special effects. they have been associated with the die hard films .
however we would have ab igger company as our distribution company as we realised many of these film such as beverlky hills cop have quite a cheesy feel to them and for this to be tangebale we would need it to be produced by a low budget production company but to be ditributed by a larger coimpany who has dealt with the film genre and know how to advertise and coan afford to advertise correctly
our independaty film studio was bullet spoof productions

settings

police station: our movie is set in chicago so for our police station we had to choose a building that looked fairly modern, our original building we chose looked like a tradtional english cottage and did not fit in with the genre of our movie so we searc hed for a more modern building.

alley way for chase scene:

we will use this alley as it has graffiti and adds more of a crime ridden/rundown area. an allyway has traditonal conventions of being related to crime, darkness and generally being seedy which is why we decided to have our criminal ebing chased down the alleyway .

office scene:

the police chiefs office is an important location as it hols a large majority f action we shall be using file holders that can be seen in the background and make his desk look messy as it represents the police chief is under a lot of pressure because of his position which is why hes angry. the similar sort of layout of a police office is seen in many traditonal police films such as beverly hills cop or bad boys.

soundtrack

we are going to base our soundtrack on a 70's style cop show;



Shaft theme:


starsky and hutch theme:


we will be tryin to recreate a sound similar to this for our soundtrack to be played during the chase scene and will include instruments such as hi-hats and slap bass guitar to re-create that 80s style.
after getting feedback from some of our class mates they said the 80s style cop theme music did not fit in with the style of movie so we made a different soundtrack which sounds alot more modern and action packed
