As said in my previous blog, I wanted to do the idea of a street interview. I decided to start off in the street also. I made the script for that as shown bellow:
What is up everyone I am Zain Vidal and I recently made a film opening titled “circles”. This film brings out representation of young women working under men in the industry. Tina is a 22 year old girl who is expected to do a difficult job without any guidance. Tina works day and night to finish writing this book. Showing this represents how women are just as good as men, even though they don’t get the same credit. According to linkedin, Globally, it is estimated that less than a third of leadership positions are held by women. In the United States and Canada, the situation is not much better, with only 37% and 35% of leadership positions being held by women, respectively, despite women comprising 47% and 46% of the workforce. This film shows that a women can be just as good as a man, despite the less opportunities they have.
This production is part of the mystery genre, having a target audience of 18-24. This target audience was chosen based off a couple factors.
1. The young representation. Tina is a young women who is struggling to keep up with all her work. She tries her best to stay organized but it is hard. According to the National Library of medicine, The prevalence of disorganized/controlling patterns was 15% among 20 young adults with no current psychiatric diagnosis. This gives the audience something to relate too.
2. To add onto this youth representation, is the seeing youth in power. Our film has both a young boss, and young women doing an extremely important task. This sort of representation influences the youth’s motives. It makes them think “I can do that too” According to the National Library of Medicine, The studies reveal the influence of films on people’s beliefs and opinions, stereotypes and attitudes. Movies can have a significant impact on gender and ethnic stereotypes, change attitudes towards certain groups of people and cause newly formed opinions on various issues. With this being said, Circles shows that anyone can do anything, and it surely influences people to believe so.
I went around to see how our target audience feels about this project.
(target audience hypes up wowwww)
Along with this representation, circles had lots of pre production, with many failures.
It took my team and I awhile to come up with an idea. We wanted to do a mystery, just simply because we thought it was an interesting genre. After many failed ideas, I decided to look up the exact definition of “mystery”. Here I found the concept of pseudoscience, and the rest is history.
We had many struggles when producing this film. Such as busy schedules, corrupted footage, and lack of setting. We were able to get past that and get a film opening that we are all proud of done.
The film is show on a Sony A7III one of my favorite Sony cameras. With the two lenses used being a standard 50 mil and a 18-35 mil lense. The camera was placed on my personal tripod. The dialogue audio was recorded with these super cool wireless GVM Mics. These mics automatically sync into the camera. Most of the sound effects were either foley, of artificial.
Circles is available on youtube, Instagram, and tik tok .Circles will soon be submitted to local student film festivals and award ceremonies. So, check it out.
I plan on making the interview part vertical but the rest horizontal. I recorded how long it would take me to say the script, being around 3 minutes. This gives me 2 minutes to add credits and the public interviews.
