Introduction task- Tonight You're Mine

I am going to write about my favourite film of this summer. I found this quite hard because I watch a whole load of films and like almost all of them but the one I thought was the greatest I have watched this summer was ‘Tonight You’re Mine’ also known as ‘You Instead’. I enjoyed it because it was set in ‘T in the park’ festival which means the people there were real and their reactions to the goings on were just as real. The main characters are singers who were supposed to be performing there, but their plans get a bit ruined when some crazy man who works at the festival chains the leading man and women together with handcuffs. This is amusing to me because how would you cope being chained to a complete stranger who doesn’t like you already, they don’t like each other’s music and attitudes and they even don’t like each other’s partners. Their bands try and help them get the handcuffs off or get the keys off the man but they fail first of all. The woman has to perform when they are still handcuffed and the leading man doesn’t like her music so he changes it into something he does like and he completely takes over her keyboard and then they combined both songs together which is awesome because it is amusing how he destroys her performance and does it in a cocky way, the song he chooses is also good so it makes it more funny. After a while the girl joins in, and they start having funny jumping around and getting the audience involved. This was effective because you, as the audience can see how a ‘real’ audience would be if they were watching a ‘real’ band, and how they would respond. It also creates a little wanting, in your mind, to go to the festival yourself. To join in with the buzz and seeing you favourite band play on the big stage, sleeping rough with your friends and jumping to the music.

Another thing I liked about the film is that it was filmed within 4 days so it actually feels like you are at the festival with them and the bustling crowds, so when it is late and they go to the tent which is like a night club and they dance and then go to the funfair and go on the rides you as an audience feel involved.  In this film they also show the trailers and the artist behind the stages and it made the audience feel important and even like ‘VIP’. I also really like the actors in it Luke Treadaway, Mathew Baynton and Natalia Tena and I believe that if you like the people in the movie you as an audience will enjoy the film a whole lot more because you feel like you know them through their earlier acting in other movies and you know that they are good and will make the movie good also, it’s like when you see big names like Tom Hanks. I also love that the leading character’s relationship changes, you can see it going on and it is heart warming and relatable and as a teenage girl you enjoy watching a romance unfold before you. When the leading girl finds out that the leading man knew about his band mate having the key for a while and she runs away from him it makes your heart stop because you are rooting for their relationship so when it is his turn to perform he calls to her while on stage and he get his audience to call her name and you find yourself joining in and then they have the epic kiss scene at the end and it is an amazing way to end the film. End on a high.
