Our movie, Medal of Honor, is supposed to keep the audience on their toes, but also cheer up the states because of the great depression they were currently in. Our cast consists of: Fred Astaire and Clark Gable. Our story consists of the little boy in town named Johnny Devirito gets drafted for WWI. When he comes to inspection they don't take him due to his little size. Johnny doesn't like the fact he got denied, so Johnny enters the war anyway. Our story meaning is do not underestimate anyone. Although Johnny is little he could be the hero of his platoon.
We chose the war film genre because WWI was semi-recent and we put an uplifting twist to it by having a hero and a happy ending. As I stated above the point of picking this was to create an uplifting movie to America because of how depressed they are due to the great depression.
We chose MGM and the director Lewis Milestone. We chose Lewis Milestone because he directed "All Quiet on the Western Front" which is also a war film. Milestone works under MGM so that worked out perfectly for us. We chose our cast because of how popular they are and the way they look fits each roll perfectly
The Hays Code effects us a little bit because we have a war film so we can't really show any blood or gruesome scenes. We won't be using a lot of technology because we don't really need to use technology for our film.
