My Cambridge portfolio project is a comedy film opening that will take place in the place of car culture and street racing. The opening of the film will be around the main character, Paulie, who upgraded his car. The use of dialogue and character interactions will help Paulie’s confidence throughout the opening, only to have this confidence filled with disappointment when he races in the end of the film opening. The purpose of the film opening is to introduce the character, the tone of the film, and the world of the film.
We were particularly inspired to create our project by two big influences, the Fast & Furious Franchise, In particular the first 3 movies of the franchise. All three movies feature a theme centered around cars.
The Need for Speed Video Games inspired us, especially Underground and Underground 2. These games gave us the underground racing feel of the game, the use of night time environments, and gave us the idea of a heavily modified car being a large part of a character’s identity.
Also we saw a comedy skit of a Fast and the Furious parody online which showed us how to exaggerate and have a confident dialogue. Also it showed how failure to create humor from what would be a serious part of racing culture but to still show people the meaning of racing culture.
Overall, we are merging street racing with a humorous way. Our goal is to combine some of the elements of street racing movies, while also including some comedic parody elements. So the intent is not to appeal only to car enthusiasts but also other audiences as well.
