30's Blog Post

For the 30's project my group wanted to create a movie that sent the audience a message while still being time period appropriate. We came up with Hit or Miss. This is a story about a girl who dreams of playing baseball but feels like she doesn't have what it takes because of the impact of society's views on women. She gets help from a professional baseball player who guides her through her learning experience. As they work together more and more, they slowly fall in love. The style we went for is a lighthearted easy watch. Since feminism was very popular in the 30's, our message to the audience is that gender does not make a difference when it comes to potential. The genre of our film is romantic comedy, so we chose the actors Ginger Rogers, Cary Grant, and Charles Coburn. We chose them because they all starred in the popular romantic comedy, Monkey Business. Ginger Rogers was chosen because she was one of the most famous and talented comedians at the time. We chose to use the studio 20th Century Fox because we want our film to be a large scale production, which this studio is known for producing. Our main focus for the movie is sound, which will be edited by Thomas Moulton. We chose sound because baseball involves a lot of sound like the bat swinging, the ball being hit, and the crowd cheering. this movie is Hay's Code friendly and does not include anything scandalous like kissing or drinking. Overall out group worked very nicely together and all agreed on everything so there is nothing that I would change about our project.
