Film Studies Create a Story (1975)

In this movie we are focusing on how cities had a diversity that caused different ethnic groups to move in. The thing Chicago doesn’t know about is that its popularity is bringing in a mass of different ethnic oriented mobs. The mobs from China, Ireland, Mexico, Italy, and America are in a power struggle to see who will control the city and who will do anything to make sure their mob rises to the top. Our movie that we created is a very suspenseful thrilling movie. It will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire film. I can promise you that it will not get boring. In each scene there is always multiple things going on, so the viewer always has something to look at and get sucked into. The style that we are going for is kinda dark and violent. We want the viewer to be engaged throughout the entire film. We chose the Gangster/comedy genre. The reason why we did this is because we want it to be a violent film that will send a message. We had to put some comedy into this film, because we don't want the viewer to get too serious throughout the film. Jackie Chan is really good at cracking jokes and making the audience crack up. This genre fits with our actors perfectly because people like Sylvester Stallone and Clint Eastwood have some experience with these films. We chose the Studio Warner Brothers because it is known for the productions of gangster movies, it worked on I am a fugitive from a chain gang. We chose Ralph Bakshi as our director because he worked on live-action type movies that were independent and adult-oriented and he also dealt with work that focused on different ethnic groups. He was a perfect fit for a movie. The lead actor will be Sylvester Stallone and Clint Eastwood because both of their ethnic groups-Italian and Caucasian are the most powerful. The focus of our film is Cinematography because we chose Charles B. Lang Jr who aided in the innovations for outdoor action shots (good for gangster movie to provide create angles and shots for outdoor shoot outs. The cinematography in our film is the strongest part. We chose “R” for our rating due to the violence, but also the adult humor and jokes presented in the film. It will be a huge success and i am looking forward to seeing our movie progress and make money.

  1. Good job CJ. Make sure to use paragraphs. A little more about the '70s connections would help.
