Film Studies Create a Story (1935)

The story that we created was something that everyone would talk about after they saw it. It would have such a huge impact on audiences that everyone would want to see a sequel. The genre that my group and i chose was horror. The reason why we chose this catchy suspenseful thriller was because a lot of audiences didn't have experience with these movies. We wanted to show audiences another part of movies. We showed part of the movie through the killers eyes and that was something that really caught peoples attention. The studio Universal really fit this movie because it was popular and it always had great movies. The whole cast had worked with this studio on their last movie and that showed that they had great chemistry. The director that we chose was Fritz Lang because he directed a movie called "M" and it was very similar to our movie. Fritz Lang got more and more popular with the movies that he made. The leading actor that we chose was Peter Lorre because he was also the main character in the movie "M" directed by Fritz Lang. Peter Lorre had a great scary slick look to him and he fit really well with  his characer "the strangler". The Detective will play a supporting character because Ernst Stalhkenbaur (detective) was part of the problem that the killer "Peter Loree" is trying to solve.  Every actor that we chose to be in our movie worked together on the movie "M" so there was already a lot of chemistry between them. The focus of our film is cinematography because it had to do with so many different things. Every scene needed cinematography and it impacted the way that the audience viewed the movie. The Hays Code affects our movie because we had to cut down on the violence a lot. Our movie is about a strangler and how he kills people to find out who killed his brother. The Hays Code states that there is to be no murder unless there is a point to that killing. It can't just be a random killing. We also had to make every actor/actress mature and grown up. Children weren't allowed to be in movies like this. We also had to show no signs of racism. I would definitely spend more time backing up the cinematography and storyline of our movie. If this was a solo project i would have backed up my facts more instead of just saying what was said. I would also said more about the Hays Code and how it iimpacted our movie. This movie is definitely going to be a great hit some day.
