2. Brief We were asked to produce a 2 minute introduction to a film with a title.Bilal 3. Genre The genre we decided to do was Teen Drama We decided this because we can relate to theage, what people go through at this age, iftheyre experimenting, what with, how theyover come this Tacia 4. STORY LINEA gang hangs around while a girl walks past on the phone; a boy in the gangnudges another member of the gang and points to the girl walking. Everyonelooks at her and one boy notices her and remembers her from school*flashback to school days* he walks over to talk to her and attempts to gether number. The gang members see him walk towards her and they startspudding each other as a sign of respect. The boy and girl get talking and thegirl accepts to exchange numbers. As the boy pulls his phone out, a packet ofdrugs drop out of is pocket and on to the floor. She walks away not interestedin the drugs and him anymore and the boy walks back to the gang, humiliated.He looks back at the girl in awe and walks towards her.Emmanuel 5. SHOT LISTWe made a shot list sothat we know what orderto do our filming in. Thisalso will help us to knowwhat we are doing andcause less arguments onthe day we will befilming. It will help us toknow what we have leftto do.Emmanuel 6. STORY BOARDLauren 7. SCRIPTOur script will help uswith what to say onthe day that we will befilming.Lauren 8. Unique selling point Our film is unique because it had both dramatic scenes and involves the thingsthat teenagers of the age between 15-19 go through with experiments and newthings. It is also unique as in the gang stereotypically there is only black boys in agang, however, in our gang, we have a mixed variety of different races. We haveBlack, African and English. Another unique selling point of our film, there is normally a group of popular girlsall together, but in our film, there is just the one girl. All in all, most films have lots of characters that you have to get to know andunderstand, our film only has 7 characters. You only have to get to know 2 or 3 ofthem. Tacia 9.

Thiswill make them seem big andintimidating and will makethe viewer think thatsomething bad is going tohappen to the girl. They willalso be wearing tracksuits.This will stereotype them into being hood boys. The handbag will make the girl seem feminine and will make her look like an easy targetEmmanuel 11. LOCATION This is where our film will beset. We chose this because it isclose to the school and easilyaccessible. It isnt the darkest ofplaces so it doesnt look verysuspicious however, it isnt thebrightest of places so it doesntlook very innocent. We also chose this place for thegang to hang out. We chose thisplace because it looks hiddenaway, somewhere you wouldntexpect to be found. It looks like aplace that a gang would hangaround.Tacia 12. Questionnaire 13.

Changed recommendations Once we had an idea on what we wanted our 2 minute clip to be like we wrote it up and went round the schoolasking people what we should change about it. Mr. Siaw (head of 6th form and Business teacher) take out the ultimatum Mr. Finnegan (English and drama teacher) Keep the ultimatum, use it as a cliff hanger. However what you havewritten there, I would think would be a 10minute introduction to a film, not two minutes. Try to condense it. Mr. Scourfield (drama teacher) I like it, but try to write it so that the people who read it will understand what isgoing to happen Students have said to use; More comedy Fighting scenes Relevant issues Bullets (guns) Life related scenesLauren 20. Audience Profile As our film is targeted towards teenagers as our film isa teen drama genre.; we have given the questionnaireout to 10 teenagers in Lea Valley High School agesbetween 13-17 and three teachers that are agedbetween 22-40 years old who have read our narrativeand gave their feedback on what should have beenchanged and what should be kept. Bilal 21. Audience Profile From the questionnaire, we have learnt that the teenagers want tosee more violence and more cheerleaders, scenes that will makethem laugh, including some nudity. From this we have decided toadd a gang of teenagers for the audience to start thinking there isgoing to be a fight; however a member of the gang sees a girl arecognizes her; this will then change the mood of the audience andthen the audience will start hopefully thinking of what is going tohappen next and want to watch more.Bilal 22. Audience Profile From the narrative, we have been told to take out the ultimatumbetween the gang and the girl because it will take too long; andalso you cannot add an ultimatum within the first two minutes of afilm. We have also been told to be specific on what kind of drugsand how they are going to fall out and how the drugs arepackaged. And finally we have been told not too do a lot of talkingas you can tell a lot in what is happening by body language. Fromthis, we have decided to edit our narrative and do what theteachers have said and add in a few things ourselves. From this wehave got our narrative that we have currently.Bilal 23. The end. Thank-you for watching.
