Research on Spoofs

The conventions of a spoof are as follows, exaggerated stereotypes, mocking of other film genres, sarcasm, characters with silly names. In our film we have tried to use these genres to make our film be known as a spoof of James Bond. We have exaggerated the stereotype of blonde people being dumb by having Janet Blond being blonde. We have mocked the film genre of James Bond as our title is Janet Blond and our film storyline is a mission for Janet Blond to keep the chip safe that has important information stored on it which James Bond films share similar story lines.We have also included sarcasm when Janet Blond walks in on the burglars trying to steal the chip.We have looked at the films Austin Powers and Johnny English which are the types of film with similar conventions that we are trying to achieve in our own film opening and both of these films have these conventions which i have stated above.
