After some careful consideration and discussions with Charlie Ansell, who I will be working with on this course, we decided that it would be best for us to create something for pre-production which would then be able to be carried over into our major project.
There are several reasons for this, but the most important reason for me personally is that I believe it would be most beneficial for me to spend the entirety of this year working on one singular film project, as opposed to planning production for two.
There is also the recent influx of super-hero film and series that have been arriving in droves. The super-hero genre is at an all-time high in terms of popularity, and I feel that if I were to realistically create my own (especially one based in an Original Character), there is a very real possibility that it would be "lost in the shuffle" so to speak, and lose out to more popular super-hero films with already established characters and fanbases.
Here is a list of all the Superhero films that are to be released between the years 2014 and 2020 (this excludes television and Netflix series like Daredevil and Arrow.)
As can be clearly seen, there is a large amount of mainstream super-hero films being released all the way up until the year 2020, and as such it would be difficult for my film to stand out from the crowd of similar films that are being released too. In this project, I would like to create a film as unique and different as possible, and a genre as saturated as the Superhero/comic book genre would be very difficult to work with when trying to achieve this result.
