Hit or Miss is a sports romantic comedy and the reason why we chose this genre was because comedy was popular at that time period. Also because Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers both are usually in comedies and have acted together before so we thought they would be able to work well together. We chose 20th Century Fox to produce this movie because they both are signed with the actor and actress that we chose. Also because 20th Century Fox was known for making comedies. Our scale of this movie wouldn't be big but at the same time not small. At the time 20th Century Fox wasn't known for big scale movies but their movies were popular. Also since the actors already worked with this studio we wouldn't have to make trades with other studios for other actors or actresses. Our cast and crew would consist of Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers of course, but our supporting actor would be Chanes Cobuin who will play one of the coaches of the baseball teams who makes fun of Sara for playing baseball. The director that we chose was Howard Hawks because he was a very famous director in this time period and he was very familiar with romantic comedies. We also chose Thomas T Moulton as our sound editor because he also worked with 20th Century Fox like Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers and because he was a famous sound editor. The Hays Code doesn't really interfere with our movie besides the fact that during the love scenes we wont be able to show much and also when Coach Q(Chanes Cubuin) is rude to her he cant physically hurt her. Some choices that our group disagreed with was deciding the movie studio because we needed to decide if we wanted this to be a big or small scale movie. I don't think i would of done anything differently because i trusted in my team members that they made the right choices for this movie.

1935 Movie
For our 1935 movie we created a movie called Hit or Miss. The plot of the movie revolves around the life of Sara Ruth( played by Ginger Rogers). When she was a child, her father taught her everything she needed to know about baseball. However, she grew up in a society where baseball was only limited to men. She was then forced to follow the norm and eventually becomes a journalist. After interviewing famous baseball player, Henry Andrews( played by Cary Grant), she realizes how much she misses the sport. Hit or Miss is a common romantic comedy filled with inspiring message of quality of women and ultimately the importance of following dreams. Grant and Rogers performances blend to make not only a captivating story but the perfect comedy. This movie will work well in a 1935 audience because major league baseball was very popular during that time and those are the years where people search for the American Dream and it portrays that in this movie. A message i am worried about is that people might think it is strange for a women to play baseball, but i believe that people will soon understand that both men and women can do other works or fields that are from the opposite sex.
