commentry
- Commentary which will be recorded after all scenes are filmed and edited. Commentary will introduce characters and storyline with possible sarcasm and humour in tone of voice and expressions or words used. Commentary would be effectively used in and out of dialogues from scenes.
we would have to record this a few times, as we would need it to go well with the non digetic sound in the form of the songs that we would include in the trailer.

New twist
idea change implemented;
Harold and Kumar has 2 main guys,
Superbad has 3 main guys,
American pie has 4/5 main guys.
If we want to stand out, we will use 6 main guys, or possibly 3 guys and 3 girls, which will make our production different to those other popular films.

SONG RESEARCH
Barry White – I’m gonna love you just a lil bit more baby
Artist – Barry White (September 12, 1944 – July 4, 2003)
An American record producer and singer-songwriter. A five-time Grammy Award-winner known for his rich bass voice and romantic image, White's greatest success came in the 1970s as a solo singer and with his Love Unlimited Orchestra, crafting many enduring hit soul funk, and disco songs. Worldwide, White had many gold and platinum albums and singles, with combined sales of over 100 million.Instruments played – piano, keyboard, drums, vocals.Record labels – Uni/MCA records, 20th century records, Casablanca/ PolyGram records, A&M/ PolyGram records, Private Music/ BMG Records, Eagle Records, Mercury/ PolyGram records.Associated acts – Love unlimited. The love unlimited orchestra, Isaac Hayes, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson
SuccessIn 1972, he got his big break producing a girl group he had discovered called Love Unlimited. His best friend, music industry businessman Larry Nunes helped to finance this major start to his recording career. He made Barry his protégé, forming a production company with White and guiding him to fame. Formed in imitation of the legendary Motown girl group The Supremes, the group members had gradually honed their talents with White for two years until they signed contracts with Uni Records.
White produced, wrote and arranged the classic soul ballad, "Walking in the Rain (With The One I Love)", which climbed to #14 in the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart and #6 on the R&B chart. After the first album, White switched his production deal and the group to 20th Century Records where they recorded several other hits throughout the 1970s. These included "I Belong To You" which spent over five months on the R&B chart in 1974 including a week at #1. White married the lead singer of the group, Glodean James, on 4 July 1974.
While working on a few demos for a male singer, White was persuaded to release the songs on himself although he was initially reluctant to step out in front of the microphone. His first solo chart hit, 1973's "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby", rose to #1 R&B and #3 Pop. Then the Love Unlimited Orchestra's recording of White's composition "Love's Theme" reached #1 Pop in 1974, one of only a handful of instrumental recordings ever to do so. Some regard "Love's Theme" as the first disco hit ever, although Nino Tempo's "Sister James" had already reached the Hot 100 a few months before.
SONG- "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby" is a song written, produced and recorded by Barry White. Considering how successful it would end up being, it would probably come as a surprise that, for many years, White had little to no interest in a recording career.Released in the spring of 1973 as the first single from his 1973 debut album I've Got So Much to Give, the song was a #1 hit on the U.S. R&B chart for two weeks, peaked at number three on the Billboard Pop Singles chart and reached #23 on the UK singles chart. The single was also certified gold by the RIAA for sales of one million copies.- Genre – Disco & R&B.- Record label – 20th century Records- written and produced by Barry White.- Samples of the song have been used in numerous hip hop recordings over the years by artists such as Big Daddy Kane, De La Soul, Eric B & Rakim, Ghost face Killah, L.L. Cool J, N.W.A., Mos Def, and Too Short. It has appeared in the films, "Love Serenade", "High Fidelity", "Kissing Jessica Stein" and "Bringing Down the House". It was used in the season seven "Friends" episode, "The One with Ross and Monica's Cousin" and in the season one "Cold Case" episode, "The Runner". It was spoofed by Sesame Street in a musical skit with Cookie Monster (backed up by the Crumbs Unlimited Orchestra) as "Me going to Munch You Munch You Munch You".

Song Research Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling
Members
The Black Eyed Peas is made up of four members. Rapper will.i.am is the unofficial leader of the group, and provides the majority of the rap vocals. His counterparts, Apl.De.Ap and Taboo, have been with the band since their conception in 1995, and also provide rapping vocals. Fergie, the female addition to the band, joined in 2003, after a previous female vocalist, Kim Hill, departed in 2003.
Many fans and critics claim The Black Eyed Peas mainstream success is owed to Fergie, whose addition triggered Elephunk, the bands 2003 album, and launched the band as a worldwide smash success. Fergie has gone on to produce an independant album, as has will.i.am.
Albums
Behind The Front was released in 1998, was relatively successful for a new hip hop band. Bridging the Gap was released in 2000, and took another significant step towards the bands success. Compared with the more recent follow ups, however, these two early albums are virtually unknown by Black Eyed Peas fans, and emphasise the bands hip hop roots far more than their later pop albums.
Elephunk was released in 2003, and is marked as the break-through album for the Black Eyed Peas. The single Where is the Love? featuring Justin Timberlake scored the band their first number one hit in the UK and Australia, and entered the top ten in the US. This was followed up with other big singles such as Shut Up, Hey Mama and the contentiously titled Let's Get Retarded. When released as a single, the band changed the song lyrics to Let's Get It Started, winning them a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 2005.
Monkey Business was released in 2005, and tread a similar path to Elephunk. Similar in design, sound and success, the band had found their recipe for incredible popularity. The album's singles include Don't Phunk With My Heart, Don't Lie and My Humps. The singles scored well internationally and earned them another two Grammys.
I Gotta Feeling debuted at number two behind the group's own Boom Boom Pow on the week of June 27, 2009, on both the Canadian and Billboard Hot 100 charts, making the group one of only eleven artists who have occupied the top two positions at the same time on the Billboard Hot 100. The song went on to replace Boom Boom Pow at Number 1 on the US charts and eventually reach Number 1 on twenty charts worldwide.I Gotta Feeling debuted at number two behind the group's own Boom Boom Pow on the week of June 27, 2009, on both the Canadian and Billboard Hot 100 charts, making the group one of only eleven artists who have occupied the top two positions at the same time on the Billboard Hot 100.

Target Audience
The target audiene for our film trailer are people aged 15 to 25. The genre is mainly comedy but also with hints of romance. People like comedy because it makes them laugh. Everyone needs a good laugh every now and then. Comedy helps brings people's spirits up. It makes people happy. Comedy is found everywhere. It is found on T.V., radio, and movies. No matter where you are, comedy is there. Well with the exception of funeral homes. I really doubt that comdey makes a visit there. I have also researched about how laughter is actually good for the body too :
- Laughter increased levels of salivary immunoglobulin A(S-IgA), a vitalimmune system protein, which is the body’s first line of defenceagainst respiratory illness.
Romantic movies are always popular for a few reasons. First, most romances have happy endings. Since movies are meant primarily to entertain, everyone likes to leave the movie theater with a happy feeling that the guy got the girl and they found something really special. A tragic romance is well-liked for an entirely different reason. People often feel that they can relate to a tragic romance; lost love, sudden death, etc. are very human. Romance Films usually relate to girls/ women. One of the most obvious reasons that girls like romances is the handsome lead man. Sometimes, in my thoery, if women don't have real romance in their own lives, a romantic movie will help them escape into a happy-ever-after world that they may have always imagined.
A combination of these two would certainly make an interesting movie because it could go either way as many people may have a different sence of humour compared to other so it may not appeal to them but we as a group have to make sure that we can get in contact with not only one persons sence of humour but research what people define as funny. We also have to do this with the romance side too.
