Conclusion

Well, it's been a long six months ever since the idea of "First Meal Of The Day" began, with frequent changes to the story and characters, until everything was finalised, and filming could take place.

When I started this project I wanted to do a change from something dark and serious, instead looking at a new field in filmaking for me at least: COMEDY, mainly in this case, slapstick, and visual.

Writing this was very hard, what with numerous changes constantly taking place, until I felt comfortable with what I had and how to edit it all together.

Finally, I've decided to make "First Meal Of The Day" a silent film, having been inspired by the early works of Charlie Chaplin and Laurel & Hardy, I figured that doing a silent picture would say more physically than speech would, hence the saying; "Actions speak louder than words"........that WAS the right saying wasn't it?

And so without further ado, ladies and gents, I give you:

Film Poster Analysis - Spider-Man 3


When I took a first glance at this poster for the film "Spider-Man 3", I knew immediately that it would look like a convincing theatrical piece, with an all star-cast featuring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco, it was a sign that like the previous 2 films in the trilogy, that this was sure to be a hit......but how and why?

The things that captivated me with this film are first off, the fact that it's a film about Spider-Man, who has always been a comic book hero of mine, and I knew instantly as soon as I saw the Black Costume on the poster that they'd be doing one of my favourite storylines concering an alien symbiote, which would start effecting Peter Parker (Spider-Man) massively....

The tagline, "The Greatest Battle Is Within" (Although it's in Italian here), seemed to catch my eye too, as I knew that it would show that the film wouldn't dissapoint.


Seeing as the film is one of great inner-conflict for all the characters, I did like the way that Spidey was mirrored in the glass to show that he would be struggling with his dark side, and becoming a very different character, while facing new and DANGEROUS Foes...

The way in which this mirroring effect has been done is to show how Spider-Man is struggling to keep one side of his persona more dominant than the other, and how the symbiote is succeeding, which could be why the red and blue Spidey is in the mirror.

Overall, this poster makes the film look incredibly promising, indeed like it's predecessors.

First Meal Of The Day: Teaser Posters

The wait is almost over... 

Within a week, First Meal Of The Day will be released to the public, but over the course of the next few days, we will continue to surprise you with everything we can, starting off with three teaser posters for the film, showing the main cast, even someone who crosses over from a friend's Film Opening earlier this year....



Meet Billy Butterbread, the Film's Main Protagonist.

Marking this as his first full theatrical appearance, Butterbread shows                                    us a character who seems forgetful and clumsy, willing to go to
extremes just to get his breakfast, while breaking down the
fourth wall in the process, but this is only his FIRST adventure, and
hopefully, lots more will come along the way for our bumbling hero...
Hutomo Stoddart (a.k.a. The Vanquisher), the star of
Ignation Productions' Film Opening "Saint Or Sinner",
makes a stunning return later this month...
The only newcomer here at BlueFlame Pictures, this film also
introduces the character of Nick U.R. Wallit, played by Tom Phillips,
whose name hints at the story of the film; we will look into
this character more often in the not too distant future....


Until next time Bloggers...

Target Audience

When I begun writing the original script for my short film, “First Meal Of The Day”, I wanted to focus massively on how the audience would react to certain jokes, visual or verbal; by thinking about the timing of what I was doing, as well as trying to make it seem laughable, by slipping in some gags which I thought of during filming, particularly in the opening scene.


I also wanted to think of how the audience would react to certain visual shots during the chase scene, and how it would end up, with another character being randomly shoved over in a comedic way, someone’s wallet being randomly stolen by the young man, as well as a gymnast’s bike, which makes the chase seem more lively, making things harder for the other three characters chasing the young man.

In terms of age group, I'd say that this an all around familyfilm, with gags and comedy that will entertain people of all ages; I made this choice because it is most suited to the style of the film, and because I wanted to do something a bit friendlier this time round.

On the whole, I hope my short film is successful with gags in all guises.
