1. FOOTBALL HOOLIGANS
By Jahmal Crowe and Louis Dasseville-Fryatt

2. THE IDEA
Our idea is aimed at a young adult audience. The story is about a
17 year old boy, he arrives to college on monday with a beaten up
face. When his friends question him about how he received the
injuries to his face, he tells them about his new found
hobby...FOOTBALL VIOLENCE. He has a big ego and shows off a
lot and he is fake in front of his friends. He doesn’t tell them the
true story of how he actually received his injuries.
Will they see the real him?

3. AUDIENCE RESEARCH
Here is some audience market research that we got from
walking around the college. We asked both boys and girls. We
asked 15 people in total and here are the results we got in a
chart. We found that even though girls said they didn’t like
either, they would go for silent comedy.

4. GENERIC CONVENTIONS
our idea has challenged the typical forms of our genre as all of
the characters are of a younger age. In a football hooligan film
you would expect to see violence, in our film the fighting is
between the young people and not the typical older generation
associated to football violence. The narrative has slightly changed
from typical football violence films as our character exaggerates
about the violence he has been involved with and his
acceptance to the firm.

6. SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats
Strengths Weaknesses
. If all works it will look very realistic when using fake blood, fake . May not appeal to a wide spread of audiences
bricks, etc . We can’t glorify football violence as it is frowned upon, so we
. Appeals to action film fans have to do it in a civilised way.
. We might not get enough actors for the fight scene
. Might not be able to find a free location
Opportunities Threats
. Will hopefully grow in audiences . Won’t be able to have a lot of violence due to health and safety
. The world cup has recently ended and he season has just started, so .violence as a weakness, a threat is that we can’t glorify football
As well
this is a good way to get in the right football mood

7. COMEDY

8. THE IDEA
Because we have been focusing more on the Football Hooligans
idea, we haven’t really got a solid idea for ‘Comedy’. After
research on Laurel and Hardy, for this idea we would make it a
silent comedy with some music playing over the top of it. This is
our idea for the comedy genre.

9. AUDIENCE RESEARCH
This is the same research as on the audience market
research.

10. GENERIC CONVENTIONS
Our idea has gone back to classic comedy by taking the ideas
from past comedy and brought the ideas back in to present
time. Nowadays you would probably expect to hear sound and
for it to be in colour, but with ours it is black and white with no
sound other than the music which plays over the top.

11. SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths
. A good example of a successful silent comedy is mr Bean (equivalent to a
silent film) so this could help with popularity if a new silent comedy comes in
. It’s different
. Could use medioka actors as there is no speech

12. SWOT ANALYSIS
Weaknesses
. No sound (people may get bored)
. Black and white effect may not
work
. May not get much views as it isn’t mainstream
anymore

13. SWOT ANALYSIS

. Doesn’t have to be a big budget as it will be kept simple
. Use drama students
. I know a stunt person to do some of the practical
but dangerous things

14. SWOT ANALYSIS
