Outline Of Film

BEGINNING - similar to breakfast club. Voice over at a

college showing shots of around the college and characters.

Characters shown at end of opening as all get same mystery

text.

MIDDLE – From opening film goes into a flashback. All

characters have something to hide, middle shows their lives

and start of what they did wrong.

END – Key characters true self comes out. The text was sent

to a lot of college students as an April fools prank. Key

characters were not targeted.

Mood of film

What will the audience see and

hear?

Slow montage – similar to the Breakfast Club showing the scene and giving away aspects of the rest of the film enticing the audience to want to watch more.

Continuity sequence – We want to have this after a slow montage to show this film is real life and to make it more realistic and relatable to every day teenagers.

Audience will see the setting (college). We will use both diegetic and non diegetic. We will use more non diegetic as we want to audience to have a clear opinion on the film and to know what is going on. We will also not want to confuse the audience.

Films that have influenced us

Breakfast Club – It influenced our film idea a lot. We were influenced by the narrator (voice over),setting and theme of the film. This film also sends a good message across the young adults that we wanted to portray.

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging – This film shows the British element we want to portray in our film through the school setting and the overall environment. This film also influenced the culture, and characters we want in our film

Other films that influenced us are Juno, Submarine, Mean Girls etc. These films influenced us as they all show relationships between characters and give the overall teen drama feel.

Target Audience Member

This is a 17 year old girl.

She likes social networking to keep in contact with friends if she’s not

with them which she is most of the time. She likes to texts and watches

other teen dramas such as Skins and Misfits.

This audience member will watch our film because she can relate to the

characters and the story line as our film is based on real teenage life.
