We looked at a film which we knew would be a similar kind of film to ours. We chose Johnny English. We researched many films in the spoof comedy genre, which were also British but this was our favourite and was our main focus.

Production Log- Costume design
My main role in research for ‘shotg8 productionz’ was costume design. This involved researching opening sequences and watching whole films of our specific genre to find out what costumes will relate to our chosen genre.
As our spoof action comedy film with the main character mimicking the role of British secret agent, so I watched various films that have relation to the genre in general such as:
Jonny English
James Bond
Mission impossible
These are a few examples of films I observed to get ideas for our cast to wear and what props to use as well. I chose the main character to wear a suit as it’s smart and in most ‘secret agent films’ the secret agent always wears a suit as it also represents the upper class as well. A man in a suit represents authority and proffessionalism and means that he is important so the audience know this in the very first shot of the opening sequence. E.g. James bond films fit in to this very well. Also for the villain we felt that a villain doesn’t always wear a suit, with using a contrast of costumes between our hero and villain the audience should be able to recognise who is the hero and the villian straight away, and who has authority as well.

Location
My main role of research within ‘shotg8 productionz’ was location, this involved searching for prime locations to shoot our film and researching the significance of these locations so that they relate strongly to our chosen genre.
As our film was a spoof action-comedy with the main character mimicking the role of a British secret agent I chose to shoot a majority of our production at iconic locations around the country’s capital London, I chose places such as;
· Tower Bridge
· Piccadilly circus
· The gherkin building
· The London undergroundThese are just a few of the main locations we used I felt that these specific ones represent and relate very strongly to London and can be recognized all over the world.
